John Key in his paralytic paranoid state, has lashed out again at the ‘dirty tricks’ campaign he is accusing the Labour Party of running. Apparently someone has been going through his rubbish near his electorate office. Salient has received an exclusive photograph of the culprit. It follows after the break.
Here the dastardly fiend is.
Seriously… could the National Party’s obvious deflection of the leak at their conference be any worse handled? The public arent buying these conspiracy theories anymore. If they ever did at all. Perhaps its time for the Nats to fess up, and face the music.
I agree that the Nats have not handled this well. I’m a Labour supporter. But to be honest, the writing has been on the wall for them.
Conrad, I like your writing. However, if you can’t see that secretly recording Nat MPs and “leaking” these recordings to the media isn’t a desperate attempt (by “someone”) to turn the polls around, then you must be more naive than I thought.
What on earth do you mean by: “Perhaps its time for the Nats to fess up, and face the music.” Perhaps it’s time for “this person” or “these people” to fess up and face the music about why they feel the need to secretly record MPs over casual conversations…?
I did have a thought about all this though. Given how openly and publicly inept the VUWSA Executive members are, I wonder if secretly recording their conversations would reveal anything new…? Probably not.
Here is a question for you…
If the secret recordings were of Helen and her MP buds instead, and Helen then reacted in the same manner as John Key, would you write a similar post about Labour’s desperate conspiracy theories…?
But Tadpole, it’s been pretty clear to a lot of people that National has a secret agenda. Now these thoughts have been revealed as being TRUE.
Instead of crying foul, National SHOULD have addressed the concerns raised by the tape. But they can’t. The evidence is damning.
Yeah look, I agree with you totally. The Nats without doubt have secret agendas.
But think about it, it’s a friggen election!! Are we all this naive to think that our glorious politicians AREN’T going to have secret agendas…? Of COURSE Labour have secret agendas, along with National and all the rest…
John Key’s reaction to the tapes is predictable. And I’d happily bet Kiwibank on it that Labour would’ve reacted exactly the same if someone “revealed” one of their secret agendas.
I’d like to take credit for taping the conversations. I am the brains and the brawn behind this operation. Now put me on TV.
No, I am the Young Labour operative!
No I am
I once saw a dog that looks slightly like the one pictured. Now where’s my fucking $10,000 Sunday News interview?
Fuck you guys, you steal all my thunder.
The dog’s name was also called Thunder and he had sex with a member of the English rugby team.
$20,000 – cough it the fu-diddly-ck up, journonerds.
“If the secret recordings were of Helen and her MP buds instead, and Helen then reacted in the same manner as John Key, would you write a similar post about Labour’s desperate conspiracy theories…?”
Yes I would. But im not so naive as to think Helen and her cronies would have handled it in the same way. Look at the Mike Williams scandal for example.
“Perhaps it’s time for “this person” or “these people” to fess up and face the music about why they feel the need to secretly record MPs over casual conversations…?”
Well, I dunno – at a guess, it would probably be that they have a genuine concern for open, transparent and honest political discourse in an election year. Got any good reasons why thats not an important thing to strive for?
The major issue facing the electorate this year is law and order. More specifically, the number of doggie yoof gangs who have tagged their faeces all over respectable areas like Helensville. To deal with this scourge, the Smashional Party would like to announce a “three shits” rule – after an offender has been apprehended shitting on a politician’s lawn three times they will be put down. Rifling through rubbish shall be punishable by neutering, and gangs of more than two dogs will be barred from meeting. This is all.
I am spartacus!
Smashional, will these new laws be included in the Electoral Fido Act?
Laura McQuillin for President!!!
But think about it, it’s a friggen election!! Are we all this naive to think that our glorious politicians AREN’T going to have secret agendas…
Well, prior to getting elected in ’99, Labour released a comprehensive alternative budget two elections in a row. It only hurts to release policy if people won’t like your policies.
And regardless of partisanship, surely a bit of investigation is a good thing? If the press is purely reactive, we just get more spin.
