Boycott New Zealand

Thanks, @Whaeanui - I should have read the thread but there's so much to keep up with these last few days.

Hurrah! There's hope for the future then.

And kittens are really cute with Quirrell being the name chosen by JKR for a dodgy character, which is definitely also relevant.

Am going looking for Alberino wine, thank you for the rec!

The Quenelle is the name of an inverted salute that is used by modern neo-Nazis to signal their hatred of Jewish people.

Apparently this is very funny to Mumsnet users.

Younger 😊

Older or younger than me? I'm 37.

They’re adults. Both very GC one much more vocal about it 😬

How old are your daughters, out of interest?

@EdithStourton I said earlier, my dads a farmer, I asked him about that and just how things are for farmers and he told me farmers are better off than most people and I needn’t concern myself. But that’s animal farming. Fruit and vegetable farmers will be having a different experience, however I’ve always thought it unethical to transport fruit from nz to uk.

I'm a bit late to the thread and I haven't read it all, but I'm reluctant to boycott NZ in anyway that will have an impact on the farmers. They are under huge pressure from their government at the moment and really don't need any more strife.

That said, I was desperate to go there on holiday. Now, not so much.

It's sometimes called Alvarinho if its portuguese but can be Albarino too.

That's interesting. I've only ever bought Spanish but I'll look for Portuguese too now.

Spanish/Portoguese

If anyone is liking for a nice white wine, I can recommend Albariño which is a Spanish wine. It's my favourite white.

That she always acknowledges the amazing NZ women too, is only right but many people would forget to do that

Yes and it’s appreciated. I know the women there are scared, some of them are my friends and I know my mother is concerned about public spaces and changing rooms too. My daughters both said to me after the weekend they’re glad we don’t live there anymore and won’t be visiting while self ID & all this woman hating changes. Which is really sad for us, I want all of us to be connected to our culture, but we won’t risk our lives or support NZ when it does this to women.

I'm going to start calling Kiwi fruit Chinese gooseberries and get cherry blossom instead of Kiwi boot polish. That'll learn 'em.

I think KJK has been much more even handed with the NZ police than I feel they deserve. That she always acknowledges the amazing NZ women too, is only right but many people would forget to do that. She knows it isn't just about her. It makes it harder to dismiss her as an interloper, though Lord knows they're trying.

I don’t even click on Spin Off anymore, they have received 6.1 million from the NZ govt via NZ on Air to pump out utter tripe. I know they publish inaccuracies because they did so about a member of my iwi, no journalistic integrity whatsoever

@Mommymoments

All the Nz Marlborough Sauvignon blancs😩 nooo but I'll do it!

Well, we can keep one another virtual company, as we scrabble frantically for an alternative!

Let me see if I've got this right. If you assemble in public and Nazis turn up, you're a Nazi? If so, why aren't all the TRA Zealots lining up to denounce one another as Nazis?

Anyway, I really hope that the thug who broke the old lady's skull is arrested soon and given the prison sentence he thoroughly deserves.

I'm still surprised that none of the ordinary news sites have reported it, if some hoodies had bashed her, it would be all over the front pages, until they were found and arrested.

Oh, it's fine to hate some people of course. In fact if they're declared non grata, or unhumanised, it's obligatory. The numbers of non-persons that the progressive genderists say we are obliged to hate grows every day.

The point of that noise was to make it impossible for Posie Parker to speak.

Saying the quiet part out loud there I see, Anna.

I note that neither of those disingenuous, virtue signalling twats saw fit to mention the assaults committed by those beautiful, rainbow coloured humans with "no room for hate" in their hearts.

And then we have articles like this: An alternative view of the ‘angry’ protest crowd | The Spinoff

I read it here:

So why are New Zealand's politicians praising those responsible for the violence rather than condemning them?

Because they’re cowards and woman-haters.
