Nigel Farage's new UKIP logo proposal I kid you not. They submitted this one after their last attempt with a spear and sword was knocked back and they removed the sword. The world war two era military cross common in many german military formations at that time:

Whoops got that wrong. Farage dumped UKIP in 2016 and moved to the Brexit Party now known as the Reform UK Party.

Meanwhile Farage's Reform UK candidate for London Mayor Laila Cunningham gained attention for her campaign this week saying Muslim women wearing face coverings “would give the police justifiable reason to carry out a stop-and-search operation” because “It has to be assumed that if you’re hiding your face, you’re hiding it for a criminal reason.”

Winston Peters is more and more leaning to the deplorables team, with Trump-like stupid baits like this.

 

Does he think New Zealand can go alone on health, without coordination with other countries if needed? Or does he think we can have 1-on-1 treaties for each country health system?

A Florida nurse has had her nursing licence suspended after posting a video in which she wished severe childbirth injuries on White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt.

Bad judgement to say the least. That's someone who will need to move to another state to continue in the same profession.

https://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/auckland/police-vow-to-block-destiny-church-protest-march-over-auckland-harbour-bridge-new-ban-for-walkers/Y7S7Y32FF5FPDBTU62RJZSKOLA/

 

Despite being told "no, you can't march over the bridge" Brian Tamaki wants to prove how much of an ignorant moron he is by trying to do it anyway. Maybe he'll be arrested again?

 

Last Sunday, a defiant Tamaki, speaking to his congregation at Manukau’s Due Drop Events Centre, said the Bridge to Better protest was the “biggest moment of 2026”.

 

“The future of New Zealand relies on Destiny,” he said.

 

“You’re not going on the 31st just to march and go over the bridge, you’re going as Destiny, you’re carrying the future hopes of this country."

 

If he's "the future hopes of this country", we're stuffed 😠

ROFL mwahahahahaha.

 

Guy supports Trump, says ICE is getting crooks out of the streets, only to be detained for being a crook. 

 

 

“I [support] Donald Trump – I like the guy,” announced the South American TikToker and Instagrammer whose account purports to show “the reality of the United States” from a migrant’s perspective.

 

In a previous video, Pena reportedly urged Brazilians to stay calm and not “despair” after reports that ICE agents were rounding up migrants, including Brazilians. “But they’re all crooks. The lot of them,” he falsely claimed of the migrants being seized.

 

On Saturday, Pena was himself reportedly detained and sent to the Delaney Hall detention facility in Newark, New Jersey. One friend told the local newspaper the Brazilian Times that Pena had been taken into custody after missing a court hearing. The detainee’s lawyer, Andrew Lattarulo, was reportedly trying to resolve the situation and prevent him being transferred to another state.

I knew that Jared Kushner was fairly despicable, but didn't realise it was inherited. 

 

I was just reading an article about the US ambassador to France (Jared Kushner's dad, as it happens) being told he can no longer have direct access to French politicians, as he's been a no-show to a couple of meetings and is quite outspoken regarding French politics. 

 

Article for reference: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2026/feb/23/us-ambassador-to-paris-banned-from-meeting-french-ministers-after-no-show

 



This last paragraph was an eye opener! So, another convicted criminal working in the US Govt. How pleasant. And completely on-brand.

 

In 2005, Kushner, 71, pleaded guilty to 16 counts of tax evasion, making false statements and witness tampering – including hiring a sex worker to seduce his brother-in-law, who was testifying against him.

 

He spent 14 months in prison before being pardoned by Trump in 2020. Three years later he expressed his gratitude by donating $1m to Trump’s Make America Great Again Inc Super Pac.

I know this is the most corrupt administration in the history of the world but I keep being surprised by new things that emerge. I wish I had a million dollars to give to Trump. I always wanted to be an ambassador.

How great would that be? Donate a paltry million, then get a lavish lifestyle in a country you only vaguely like and be as rude and obnoxious as you care to be, because you will always have another million to donate, if there is a rebuke coming from Darth Vader.

Winston Peters being an anti-vax and pandering to the crazies:

 

The second Covid report is out – now Winston Peters wants another one

 

 

The day after the release of the second phase of the Royal Commission of Inquiry into New Zealand’s Covid-19 response, NZ First called for yet another investigation – this one focused on vaccine injuries. The Royal Commission report unequivocally endorsed the use of vaccines and found New Zealand had “among one of the best pandemic responses in the world”. NZ First had hoped for more. Presumably seeing an opportunity to stir the debate further, yesterday it seized the initiative.

 

Winston Peters told reporters he had serious concerns about vaccine safety. “Hundreds of thousands of people have been affected here. They need to know the truth,” he said, calling for a select committee to give anyone injured a voice and to hold decision-makers accountable. A select committee inquiry would require National’s backing – something prime minister Christopher Luxon declined to commit to.

https://www.nzherald.co.nz/hawkes-bay-today/news/black-dog-taverns-jacinda-ardern-book-burning-divides-customers-experts/6ACP56RH55FVBDQ2SPS2MTCTVI/

 

On Sunday, a pipe band played the national anthem at Black Dog Tavern in Mākōtuku as pubgoers watched Ardern’s book burn.

 

This is pretty deplorable I think...okay, you don't like Jacinda Ardern - some people don't - but what the hell was the point of doing this? To make someone feel better about themselves? 😒
