What I loved the most was, that straight after such a verbal slapping, the
rest of the politicians moves straight on, as if nothing had happened, even
if they know, they have just been happy slapped around the entire floor :o)

Man, was he right about a lot of things, and how nice to hear some one speak
in a clear language in a Parliament :o)

Now tell me, what is that thing on top of his head? Is it alive? ;o)

Looking at the empty seats it was obviously a convenient 'loo' break.
All those years on cannabis hasn't seemed to affect his brain much.
He was incorrect about the Police getting away with murder as the
circumstances involved a Maori nutter who was smashing shop windows in
Waitara, NZ
Earlier his family had decamped from home in fear.. When approached by
Police he ran at them with a baseball bat and tried to wallop them swinging
away and got himself shot.
The 'racist' card was played initially by some in high places until it
realised the Constable was also a Maori and a nice quiet decent guy.
The Prime Minister, Helen Clark was full of early condemnation but later
backed off.
A private prosecution of murder was successfully campaigned by the family
The Constable was cleared but his life has never been the same since
I recall attending a bank robbery scene some years before where the same
Constable was slow with his weapon and the Maori patch member got the first
shot away hitting a doorpost near where the cop was standing.
Seems it's damned if you do or damned if you don't.

Sounds like SOP, when ever any minority group person is confronted by the
law, the racism card is in play at once, it has become a reflex from both
the minorities and their layers as well :o/

Think it's the result of the 70's legacy of handling them with gloves of 2"
cotton, and never trying to confront them with reality out of fear for that
card, because we had realized that we had been a tad too rough on them for a
few years in the past?

In NZ it's the Maori's in OZ it's the Aboriginals and Asians, in US it's the
Hispanics and the Black, here in Europe it's the Turks, Pakistani and other
Muslims in general, and the result of them playing that Racism card so often
is, that we now kind of don't care, at least I don't, not any more :o/

Since I've never heard about this guy until now, I do not know about his
smoking habits, but being a Rastafarian I'm guessing it's no less than a
joint a meal :o)

But he does seem to have a way with words, and the ability to call things by
their real names, which is a rare quality for a politician ;o)

BTW: Being a dopehead is not necessarily a bad thing for a politician :o)
One of the greatest World leaders in history was Winston Churchill, who in
his youth was addicted to Opium, and lead the free World to victory while
consuming no less than one bottle of scotch a day. His counter part Mr.
Hitler was a vegetarian who never touched alcohol or smoked dope ;o)

It is reputed that upon hearing complaints about U.S. Grant's horrible
boozing habits, Abraham Lincoln responded "Find out what he drinks...  I'll
send a case of it to the rest of my Generals!"
