Yes you are right. Governments seem to be largely lost and we must all now all insist on democracy. The enemy is largely the faceless bureaucrat. Our weapons are our voices of collective courage, graciousness & integrity with a side dressing of humour. It’s up to each and every one of us to seize our democracy back.

Sooner, rather than later too. Legacy Media has done such a good job of insulating people from the realities of political decisions, gaslighting us into believing that it is our fault rather than political machinations which have us arriving at a point where your national flag is no longer something to be proud of.

Not quite correct. Our education system has been turning our young poulation into marxists over the last 25 plus years. The longer children stay in the education sysem the more converted they become. My proof is four children through university. White privileged they believe they are. Fried brains is what I tell them.

I agree, Peter - Marxist ideology starts indoctrinating kids from their first day at school all the way through university. That’s 20 years of being fed this nonsense. It's no wonder the left want to lower the voting age.

My question to my grandchildren & others of school leaving age - why go and get a student loan & mortgage your future for a probably worthless qualification? Spend a couple of years at least in the workforce & therefore the "real world" is my advice. In my own case - left school after School Cert year, straight into an automotive apprenticeship. Never been unemployed since. But you are correct Peter - they're turning out Marxists nowadays.

I have an option to buy an 8 metre kauri pole, your post hast just got me over the line. In fact I will buy it today and start working out where I will put to get maximum exposure.

Anyone know where I can get a big NZ flag?

Go onto your search engine and put in buy NZ Flag. I bought 2 as they get a hammering from the sun and wind over a very short period of time. Fly it, but sometimes it’s hard to “with pride” these days. Our country is rapidly heading downhill, sadly.

We've recently acquired a 9 metre aluminum trailer yacht mast. Also going to be a flag pole!

Acts of patriotism like this are usually followed by revolution. The English peoples have had enough of tax sapping immigration for no end rather than the breakdown on a nations culture and identity. Rise up England and Wales and others. And the sooner this happens here the better.

Things are so bad in the UK that 12-year-old girls are arming themselves with axes and knives just to feel safe from violent illegal immigrants. That’s the reality. Now we’ve got Keir Starmer, the same man who rolled out the red carpet for them, suddenly pretending to be tough on immigration because an election is around the corner. It’s pathetic, it’s embarrassing, and everyone can see through his ridiculous tweets.

Also, the MSM need to be boycotted.

When the Hikoi happened a Masterton Man waved a NZ flag and was promptly arrested , He is still going through the courts . The Māori protesters were very abusive to him, but no consequence. NZ is properly fucked

Yeah, I remember that, it was John Ansell filming. The Māori protesters assaulted him when they ripped his flag away. This isn’t some one-off either, it’s the same pattern playing out across the West – these so-called ‘special’ groups are untouchable, shielded by police and government alike.

The way I see it, the ONLY party to give our votes to next election is NZ First. The only party with a voice to speak out for our nationalist values, to condemn the dangerous radicalisation of TPM, and to condemn UN overreach which created UNDRIP and started our own division in this country. Without the experience and courage of NZ First with a majority in the next coalition, we sure are damned to the same disturbing unrest these other nations are going through.

A man was arrested for disturbing the peace here in NZ, for carrying a New Zealand flag, while walking some distance ahead of the Te Toi Tiriti hikoi to Parliament last year. He was also assaulted by the hikoi leader. He faces a punishment of up to ten years in prison.

Destiny Church Nelson have a video of it on their page under MAN ARRESTED FOR FLYING NZ FLAG AFTER BEING ASSAULTED BY HIKOI LEADER

Yes, I do remember seeing that video, Cila. It was filmed by John Ansell from memory.

Yes, deeply disturbing. The more NZ flags up and flying the better.

I would support a new flag that is inclusive of all who want to live peacefully together - as one.

Why change the flag when there’s nothing wrong with the one we have. Key distracted us with a flag change and not enough wanted it. Let’s not waste our precious money on another attempt. We’re broke as a country. Dont add to the burden unnecessarily.

Yes, I agree. I’d just like something that shows unity among those of us who want to live peacefully, as one, and shows opposition to the racist minority.
