Kiwis as a whole do punch well above their weight on the international stage.

Yes, that is what I remember from my years fruit picking and tramping in godzone.

Also, but completely off topic, they speak neutral English, without the UK accent.

You are missing the issue. He claims the tie is a symbol of western racism. Yet stuck on top of his clueless head is a western Texas hat. Just another of the clueless muppets we have here in NZ governance along with the clueless leader Ardern.

In the 50 odd years of following politics in the country I have never seen such a clueless, incompetent pack of muppets as we have across all our parties. But then I can take some comfort in that as a western country it could have been worse watching the circus and outright racism and corruption of the US for the last four and a bit years.

Yet these incompetent muppets managed to make godzone the only country in the world to be covid free.

I had a similar problem at university in 1968.

That's 53 years ago.

Yeah, whilst I admire you for trying to keep the tanker afloat the EU is letting more water in than it can handle and will eventually sink. This will be my one and only reply to you, I think we both know why. 

 

I so much like what this stand up comedian (sit down comedian?) does with his glasses.

It must have taken him years to reach this level of perfection. Maybe he got inspired by Cleese's "How to irritate people"?

I laughed so hard that I did not pay attention to what this joker said - probably of no consequence anyway.

Out of all my friends whom I know love animals; only one of them is vegetarian(vegan indeed).

 

Yours in the typical comment of someone who can only think in black & white; for us or against us; left and right... simplistic and often erroneous thinking.

So there is no point in trying to engage in intelligent debate.

Respect for human live does not have a grey zone, one can not choose when to show respect or not.

Respect for animal life does not have a grey zone either.

You can not love dogs, and at the same time eat other animals for breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks.

Those who are meat eaters AND dog lovers, are hypocrites or lack intelligence.

In that case: congratulations, I wish I could say the same about myself.

But my "personal attack" is still valid for the vast majority (99%) of dog lovers.

The European Commission is at the service of the 27 nations. It screwed up the first supplies of the covid vaccine, that's a fact.

In return, protests and admonitions are flowing from all sides and nations are depriving it of a part of its confidence by entering into parallel supply contracts directly with Russian and Chinese producers.

I think this is a good thing which shows the freedom retained for each member country and the supervision exercised over EU officials. A questioning which should lead to a less formal and more responsive running.

This is why UVDL reacts vigorously and works (sometimes awkwardly) to recover his credit. Healthy reaction IMO.

What we need is a strong European government that can deal with all this nationalistic nonsense.

Without the UK and their rebates and exeptions that will be easier to achieve.

I usually find that people who are kind to animals are kind of people.

I worry about some of the humans in this post.

Are you a vegetarian, or just an obsessed dog lover who likes to have power over dogs?
