    You can take #ApartheidClyde out of SA but you can't take SA out of #ApartheidClyde.

    Gotta love how the prestige press has ignored the fact that Elon Musk has become a full-bore race science creep, promoting claims of black inferiority. The minor story of earth’s richest man converting to white supremacy was left to “Benzinga” to report on

    In addition to weighing in on the hot-button issue of immigration, in recent months, Musk has replied to and engaged with accounts that post about racial IQ gaps and other data related to race.

    Will Stancil, a metro policy researcher, pointed out that Musk has had frequent interactions with an account named @eyeslasho. The anonymous account has dozens of posts about IQ test scores by racial group, crime rates by race and more.

    The Beehive Civilian can report that the government has moved to remove the racist Maori Health Authority and at the same time ensured the continuance on addiction to nicotine of smokers (predominantly Maori) to enable the affordability of lowering the tax burden on landlords (predominantly not Maori).

    This being the first step of a longer process of empowering the majority (predominantly not Maori) via their supremacy in parliament over the landless working class and the indigenous.

    On the 30th annivesary of my late mum's 88th birthday celebration (a lunch at the Kopu Hotel) and a couple of months before she died, mum would have been mortified by what's happening in Parliament at present. She and my dad were literally rescued by the policies of the Labour Government led by Michael Joseph Savage, after dad had to walk away from his trucking business during the Great Depression – he never really got over it, after coping with a couple of 'Nervous Breakdowns' as they were called back in the day. Fortunately, he scored a job or two at Horitiu Freezing works for a few years then onto PTY Timber in Putaruru as a tally clerk, which allowed them to save a few dollars for their retirement. I could go on, but would probably bore you all senseless. Mum died on Anzac Day 1994.

      The same goes for my mum and dad. They arrived in NZ on the day NZ declared war on Germany, having spent two years in Australia where they lost all their money. Fortunately my dad had a British military background and it took him into WW2 as an Army captain. They offered him a promotion to major at the end of the war in an attempt to retain him, but he 'd had enough and quit. He was however given the opportunity to purchase a villa in Auckland at a nominal price. This was due to the largesse of the Labour govt. of the day. My dad joined the Labour Party in 1948 – a gesture of gratitude to them. He never regretted it to his dying day in 1982.

      My father would be looking on in horror at the parliamentary antics of today. I can see him now writing screeds to newspapers and demanding the powerful get rid of that “horrible little squirt, David Seymour.” 😮

          Doesn't surprise me. He has his questionable moments, but he's an old school Nat. and they no more like these jumped up 'johnny cum latelys' than we do.
