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.

Obama removed Churchill’s bust from the White House.
Fascists are winning everywhere these days.
Jacinda has proven herself to be quite the authoritarian.

More importantly the churches are being silenced. This won’t end well.

This is all you need to know..
New Zealand, as opposed to Australia, has basically conceded their country to Chinese domination...and the Chinese, I guess don’t like Churchill being being revered (perhaps due to the earlier history that cost them Hong Kong for 99 years).

They’d probably would want to start with friendly old Karl Marx. Stalin would come later. (That’s the traditional Communist order.)
She sounds like a real peach. Tell her this...when the Chicoms land in NZ, don’t call US this time.
Yeh, he stood alone, virtually held the UK together against the Nazis during the dark days prior to Dec 7th, 1941. He was a colonialist and wanted to hold the empire together after WWII but Rosevelt insisted that the British colonies be granted independence. He reluctantly went along with it and and ndependence movement happened peacefully, especially India.
“Fascists are winning everywhere these days.”
This can and probably will change. Obama removed Churchill’s bust from WH and Trump brought it back. Administrations change and anyone suggesting otherwise does not know their history.
Oppressive regimes have been thrown out many times by a fed up population and it will happen again.
What do you expect from a millennial chick prime minister?
Independent, fundamental Baptist
It has been obvious for a long time that that Jacinda thing hates White culture and civilization. Worse than biden, because she has functioning brain cells and truly believes it.
Careful with the defeatist trolls and other idiots here when you say things like that, lol.

“Careful with the defeatist trolls and other idiots here when you say things like that, lol.”
And there sure are a lot of them. My guess is they’re paid trolls and they are not very good at what they do because they are so obvious.
Western civilization now largely commandeered by angry vaginas
