Kudos to Simeon Brown for doubling down on the criticism leveled at him from the Chairperson of the Kura Kaupapa Maori School for daring to criticise their decision to close the school for two days in order to host the tangi for the senior Mongrel Mob leader attended by over 1,000 mob members. She described his comments ignorant and racist. In response Brown has called on the Education Minister (Hipkins) to explain why he thought it was appropriate for a school to be shut down so a gang could hold a funeral on school grounds pointing out that students lost two days of learning.

It is a little difficult to take her comments seriously when she herself said that things had gone awry on the final day of the tangi and she wasn’t happy with the swearing and ‘barking’ that occured. Really!!!!! give me strength … what planet does she inhabit … this was a mob funeral. Clearly no thought at all for the children exposed to this ‘normal’ behavior. Lady, the Mongrel Mob doesn’t do ‘normal’.

A little while ago I served a couple of terms on the Lottery Grants Board (alongside Trevor Mallard who was the Opposition’s appointee to the Board …. about as likeable then as he is now … I digress). One day I had occasion to call out a staffer who had written a report which had it that the Mongrel Mob and Black Power were just Maoridom’s equivalent of Rotary or Lions and that applications from them for funding support should be treated the same way. Clearly back them the liberal effete were knocking at the door.

Now and with Cindy’s mob in power the door has been opened wide. Gangs are to be welcomed with smiles and hugs and their wishes accommodated. Never mind they comprise a large percentage of the countries criminal underworld. New Zealand … the way you’ve got it.
