“I don’t care!” Fury as Churchill portrait removed from New Zealand parliament
Foxhole.news ^ | Aug 11 | Foxhole.news

The removal of a portrait of Winston Churchill from the New Zealand parliament building has sparked fury with opposition leader Judith Collins saying she was “disgusted” by the move – but prime minister Jacinda Ardern insisted she “didn’t care”.

Collins, who leads the National Party in New Zealand tweeted an image of Britain’s wartime leader being pulled from its position, reportedly called for by the parliament’s Art Committee, chaired by Green MP Dr Elizabeth Kerekere.

“Sir Winston Churchill, the greatest anti-fascist leader of the 20th century is removed from the walls of Parliament because the Greens don’t like him,” tweeted Collins who pledged to “find a home” for the painting within her party’s parliamentary offices.

Collins said: “He belongs in parliament because, if you know your history, he was one of the very few political leaders who were prepared to stand up to the Nazis and fascists in World War 2.

“I just think the Greens are uninformed by history. What do they want him replaced with – do they want Stalin up there?

“I’m actually really pi**ed off. I’m disgusted that parliament has actually let this happen,” she added.

Jacinda Ardern, 40th Prime Minister of New Zealand and former president of the International Union of Socialist Youth, is only doing what Obama, the Clintons, Joe Biden, and all other Socialists do. Anyone who resists (or resisted) Global Socialism must be canceled! (In their eyes, of course)

Yep. Most of the so called mainline churches have abandoned sound biblical teaching. If we’re not in the great apostasy….it’s going to be a whole lot worse.

She allegedly also wants MGTOW banned in that country, as she supposedly considers elements of it hate speech. She likely realizes young men there (like here in North America) are themselves beginning to see that marriages or relationships with women that produce children are becoming that kind of a liability for them in terms of divorce laws and child custody and access issues that very heavily favour the women. Thus, the men are walking away from marriages and relationships and she probably does not like seeing this.

Jacinda Arden needs to be made to care. The NZ opposition should figure out how to make that happen.

The United States...and Britain...should make it clear that if the Chinese,the North Koreans or anyone else wants to invade NZ we won’t lift a finger to stop them.

That’s what happens when you elect a left-wing bitch as your prime minister.

No,they're not fascists...they're Maoists. Hitler,Mussolini and Franco were amateurs compared to Mao.

If this (expletive deleted) had been in Portland last summer she would have been throwing petrol bombs at the Federal courthouse just like so many privileged white suburban American kids were.

That’s either a great punk band name or a new cartoon superhero group.

Probably not so much uninformed, as they are of the same authoritarian bent as the commies and Nazis. And, yes, they would like to display pictures of not only Stalin but also Mao and Pol Pot.

That's nothing. University of Pennsylvania (where China Joe has a China-paid Chair of Political Payoff) removed the portrait of William Shakespeare from its English Department lobby.
