Why Winston’s anti-Muslim rhetoric is so stupid
Because poor old Labour desperately need to stay on Winston’s good side and because the Greens will get shafted with sweet bugger all in a Labour/NZ First minority Government if they criticise him, it looks like I’ll have to point out for the Left how fucking stupid Winston’s comments are.
