@TVietor08 Tommy you missed the best past of the Braunias interview. He *is an NZ author himself (14 books)*, and even better *has written a book about the 2014 National/John Key campaign*. Literally the books Todd lied and said he read.
@bkhunter07 @Rich_a03 @SaraIsSkyBlue @TeaganMicah @TheRealALM@gomvfc “I’m not victim blaming but the guy who was attacked should have just taken it and when he did anything back he is now the one at fault”.
That’s victim blaming, fyi.
@bkhunter07 @Rich_a03 @SaraIsSkyBlue @TeaganMicah @TheRealALM@gomvfc He was there to play football, not placate hooligans. You don’t want flares thrown into the crowd? Look at who showed up with flares and threw them at Glover.
You are 100% victim blaming.
@bkhunter07 @Rich_a03 @SaraIsSkyBlue @TeaganMicah @TheRealALM@gomvfc Again, no, he’s not there to mollycoddle upset manchildren. He’s there to play football. If a flair thrown *back where it came from* hit a child? That’s on the person who threw it on the pitch in the first place. Stop victim blaming and running interference for hooliganism.
@bkhunter07 @Rich_a03 @SaraIsSkyBlue @TeaganMicah @TheRealALM@gomvfc “The whole mess could have been avoided” if the people *throwing flairs on the pitch were not doing that*. You’re victim blaming to run interference for their behaviour. It is that simple.
@KnitMeAThneed I forgot one more: Anyone in your house testing positive once you are, doesn’t impact your count, and,
if you have had covid in the last month and someone in your house becomes positive - you can ignore the requirements to test again. (This is down from 3 months)
@KnitMeAThneed This has been the official instruction for months now:
If you’re positive, isolate for seven days, then you’re done.
Anyone in your house needs to test, on days 3/5/7 (iirc) and only isolate if they’re positive.
That’s it - that is the full extent of your covid controls now.
@AceMcWicked She might have been renting it? Isn’t that a thing people that can afford new cars can also do?
Tbh I figured she just meant “to the dealership”, as in traded it in and got something else.
@RaewynScott1@MarkMitchellMP It won’t change though… and why would it? If you were given the opportunity to simply rid the country of people your whole society Others, and blames for crime, it would be political suicide for any party to push that back and say “we created this problem, we should fix it”.
@docgregb@DylanReeve “White”. They mean white. Probably upper-middle class (or as close to that which still exists) too. But they’re not worried about poor white people moving in.
@JamesHalcrow It’s weird right? Like… there’s no reason we shouldn’t be right up there, and some places do great stuff, but at 9pm on a Thursday my choices are Big Mac or what’s in the fridge.
@bkhunter07 @Rich_a03 @SaraIsSkyBlue @TeaganMicah @TheRealALM@gomvfc Matt this is asinine. A football player on the pitch has every right to clear the field of flares thrown by the morons behind him. Frankly, right back where they came from was *exactly* the right place for them. He’s there to play football, not mollycoddle manchildren.
