While Key will be in his glory as the most sychophantic git towards Royalty I am wondering, “Who is paying ?
Did “we” invite them ? NZ pays – the “we” being Key.
Did Queen Lizzy embark her family on this world tour to her former colonies to celebrate her jubilee? She pays, as one of the wealthiest woman on the planet ought to. Yeah, right.
Isn’t it time we started chopping off a few royal heads as they did in ages gone by?
These tours now come into the embarrassing, humiliating category.
well at least the right wing retirees will have something to distract their attention from beneficiaries for a week or so…
Hahahaaa in with the Sovereign ruler of a state(MONARCHY) n out with a rightwing fascist (GOVERNMENT) NZ has alwayz been under her wing from the signing of the Treaty to the founding of many cities here, just looking at the lastest polls on the royals we still embrace them 55% to now 60% in favour of Prince William,which i feel sumsup why fascism will never be a strong hold n what we r currently experiencing tho not pleasant, hopefully is only for a short time,
if maori succeed with treaty rights then i thank the the royals for producing a 175yr old Document saving maori n tayiwi from being soled out to the highest bidder the 0.1% Keyz rich buddies………maybe i should continue singing (God save the queen) lol rather than pander to a extreme fascist dictator like keyz.
Kind of makes you wonder, once Key has finished insulting, punishing and blaming solo mothers, carers of the disabled, teachers, Christchurch schools, Christchurch homeowners, the elderly, students, paper boys, the unemployed, welfare recipients, Finland, Hungary, China, Labour voters, Green voters, NZ first voters, public servants, Maori, the Waitangi tribunal, workers and others, who will be left to vote for him.
Murray – that has to be the most insightful thing written in the last month. Well said.
