Boycott New Zealand

@Relaxingtime is exactly the reason New Zealand does need to know Posie exists and open their minds to a broader message. Break out of the bubble. It takes a bit of time and thought though relaxing.

@Relaxingtime You are aware that both Posie Parker herself and a 70 year old woman were assaulted by a violent mob of trans activists, right?

I'm so sick of seeing this stupid response to anyone who disagrees with prevailing opinion. There is literally nothing to suggest PP "celebrates woman being punched in the face". It's facile and bad faith.

@Relaxingtime she was invited by a group of women including Maori women who organised it, dismissing them is racist.

The penny will soon drop for @Relaxingtime

Maybe clue yourself up @Relaxingtime

It’s a bit awkward for you otherwise.

Have you been asleep the last few days? Have you missed the footage of women getting punched. That’s ugly.

A Māori women’s group invited her. So racist and misogynist. We see you.

She was invited by a group of Maori women.

You don't speak for them. You don't speak for anyone except yourself.

We didn’t know you celebrated women punched in the face until recently.

You missed that she was invited by a Maori women's group? It is NZ who wants her.
Maybe what NZ doesn't want is you.

Speak for yourself.

😔

Well said!
Posie parker go find some country who wants you, it is not Nz.
We never knew you existed until recently 🤣

That is true although he has a fair few keeping him company in turning a blind eye to this violence.

This has inspired me to donate to Standing For Women, didnt know you could do that previously. I prefer positive action to negative.

We had a nearly 4 week trip to New Zealand cancelled by covid. We hadnt yet rearranged it and were thinking of later this year but I dont think we'll be going now. We were intending mainly to visit the South Island and I know they could do with tourists but my disgust at the NZ media and police is putting me off.

Billy Bragg's a prime arsehole, more like.

@NotHavingIt - what does your daughter living and working in NZ have to do with anything? Does that make you some sort of self-appointed expert on the country?

And ‘what I have failed to note’?! Have you mixed me up with someone else?

I called someone out for their embarrassing use of the word ‘colonialist’ to British posters…? Are you confusing me with someone else..?

And as for NZ being a few years behind the UK on this issue - well, I couldn’t agree with you more.

I feel like maybe you’re screaming into the wind…. ?

@MarshaBradyo

What do you think of the violence against the 70 year old woman who was punched repeatedly in the face?

I can't speak for them, but it seems that some pro trans people "condemn all violence," but won't address a particular incident. Billy Brag's a prime example.

Seems the police in both countries are still brainwashed however.

You need to own your issues and stop thinking other countries are doing it to you.

Whether they be bigotry or violence against women.

What do you think of the violence against the 70 year old woman who was punched repeatedly in the face?

Whataboutery. The most worrying thing in NZ is what the politicians and mainstream media are saying. Including female journalists. That’s the main issue. At least in the U.K. now we are over this one sided narrative.

So are they immigrants or colonialists?

And is it only those born in the UK who are bigots who don't think penises belong in women's spaces?

In the last census it was recorded that 8.3% of the residents of NZ were born in the UK, making it the largest single group of immigrants within NZ.

As much as I tend to lean left or centre left politically, lack of opposition is always a bad thing for democracy.

To use the UK as an example, I might not want the Tories to be in power, but I think we need them to be in power some of the time otherwise we become a single party state. Although my preference would be to have a lot more than two options, and ideally a PR system resulting in coalitions, so we can keep all political parties on their toes without lurching from left to right and back again every decade or so.

At the moment I think the left needs telling that women won't stand for this. That we might be naturally left leaning and tolerant and inclusive and all the rest of it, but that they can't just count our votes before we've cast them, and if they put us and our needs last, we won't vote for them. And they need to do some soul searching and think about the reason why we don't want to vote for them. Because it certainly isn't because we've been brainwashed by the right wing media and all become Nazis overnight. The suggestions to this effect are highly offensive and show exactly what you think of our level of intelligence.
