@Rise4Pal_Derry @DahliaKurtz Just like Northern Ireland, because of the atrocities committed by IRA/Provos. They should be kicked out of this year's competition. Oh, wait ... 😆😆😆😆😆😆

@DahliaKurtz Israel should not be allowed to take part in any sporting competitions, just like Russia and Belarus.

Bosnia's soccer team refusing to shake hands with the Israeli team at the Euros. The Bosnians were led by their captain. Muhamed.

@Dame__Jane I'm in as long as there is a decent whack of cayenne pepper in them, but you'll gave to be a bit less conservative than that with the butter.

Who wants a cheese scone?

@Donna__McLean Thanks for putting us right on that. I'm sure the majority of folk on X thought they were migrating rabbits

Two people died. People.

@PavlaK21339460 @marcjushm Hands up everybody who needs a light on to wipe their arse at night.

@SCFCNZ @marcjushm Exactly, what’s there to see while putting your hands behind your back!

@NZMAGAMike Fucking grifters like this are what's dragging this country down. 'Maorification' or 'decolonisation', or whatever the fuck else you want to dress it up as, is the equivalent of Europe's uncontrolled hordes of illegals. Thank God I don't have to put up with it for much longer.

Rhys here - I'm the investigations lead at the Taxpayers' Union. Earlier this year, it was revealed that Health New Zealand was holding compulsory "Karakia" sessions during work hours. But now, our own research has uncovered something even more absurd, this time at the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment (MBIE). Exposed: MBIE's daily workplace Waiata sessions 🎶🎤 While Kiwi businesses are facing economic uncertainty, the Ministry supposedly responsible for helping businesses has been spending our money on Workplace Waiata – i.e. staff singing sessions in their Wellington offices. And this isn't just a one-off thing: At their swanky Wellington offices, MBIE were hosting 30 minute sessions every work day, every week! MBIE employs 5,892 bureaucrats (it's grown from 4,676 in 2020), literally being paid to sing, clap, poi, and recite Māori proverbs and hymns. According to documents we've unearthed, last year, MBIE bosses attempted to reduce these sessions from daily 30-minute sing-alongs across various floors, to "just" 20 minutes, twice a week. According to email correspondence (obtained under the Official Information Act) one of the reasons for the 'cut back' was concerns about the Workplace Waiata causing noise distraction for others in the office. No kidding! But here's where it gets even more ridiculous... The precious MBIE staffers weren't having a bar of it! They revolted at management for daring to cut back the entitlement. MBIE's CEO was forced into crisis meetings to literally negotiate the waiata schedule! We've unearthed internal emails, chats, strategy documents, and even formal negotiations. Staff wrote an eight page submission demanding that the waiata "entitlement" continue. Staff described the sessions as "taonga" (treasure) and insisted they were essential for "wellbeing" and "capability building." They produced lengthy documents arguing why three sessions per week was the "bare minimum". The bureaucrats claimed that management's instruction to have the sessions during unpaid breaks was "colonial" and "culturally insensitive". They said even "relocating to enclosed rooms" (in order to avoid disrupting other staff in the open offices) was "viewed as symbolic marginalisation" and "hiding the kaupapa". You read that right. The Ministry responsible for making sure New Zealand’s economy works, from businesses and jobs to housing, immigration, and energy, spent months arguing about singing schedules. 📷 That's how woke self-entitled these MBIE staff have become. The "compromise" reached The final compromise and solution? Management eventually agreed through a "cultural negotiation" that the 30-minute sing-along sessions would not be abolished. Instead, they were reduced from five to three 30-minute sessions per week. 📷 Only in the public service could something so ridiculous require this level of executive time, negotiation, and outcome.

@zipitsweety Seat 9. I'll be bringing enough ketamine to spike both their drinks and some of that nice beef Wellington from the Erin Patterson cookbook.

@iamufohunter Other humans.

Need a honest opinion, What's stopping humans to just live in peace together ?

@OnDisasters En route from the UK to New Zealand via a stopover with my brother in LA, he took me to the Planes of Fame at Chino. As we pulled into the carpark, the Museum's SBD was heading down the runway. Beautiful sight! I learned later that this plane actually saw RNZAF service in WWII.

The Dauntless is known as the Dive Bomber that, by sinking four carriers at Midway, helped "break the back" of the IJN and start the changing tides in the Pacific. It was such an effective aircraft that it outperformed its successor, and the nickname "Slow But Deadly" (from its SBD designation) was rightfully earned. Seen here, an SBD Warbird in an event in 2021 📹 site421 (YT)

@cathy_librarian @kelly_ques Have you thought about a stage career as a magician's assistant? Two plots could come in handy if the trick where he saws you in half goes wrong.

@kelly_ques I have plot(s) in two cemeteries, cant decide if i want to be buried in Oklahoma or Kansas. I picked up the deeds from my great great grandfather for pennies on the dollar on them.

Have you got a plot chosen already or know what type of burial you would like to have?

@RohitKa37113960 @RAF_Luton Not as far as you know, anyway

@RAF_Luton Yes, and there is no RAF base in Luton.

@Rosscom_com @MysteriosoX Petra off Blue Peter

@MysteriosoX At this rate it would be easier to just say WHO WASN'T a nonce at the BBC!!

Counterpoint: Peel was a nonce and is only excused by fans of a certain age.

@greyblanket25 @marcjushm On what planet is putting your hands behind your back "an unnatural angle"? Don't you wipe your own arse? Jesus fucking wept, I swear some fucking people are too thick to breathe in and out without they keep looking at the fucking instruction sheet

@marcjushm I don’t know what the lad had done but it doesn’t warrant that rough treatment and pepper spray which burns eyes badly! Then bending his arm at an unnatural angle is beyond human. He wasn’t fighting them . Totally uncalled for IMO

@realMaalouf I'm OK with a diktat of that nature, as long as there is also one that says all men must copulate with goats.

Austrian president says all women should wear a hijab to show solidarity with Muslims: “With increasing Islamophobia, we may have to ask ALL women to wear a headscarf to show solidarity with those who do so for religious reasons.” This is mental illness.

@ZackPolanski STFU dave.

Keir Starmer could stop this state visit - what on earth is he waiting for? We must stop being an accomplice to the USA's war of aggression.

@ThrillaRilla369 One way or another, he wouldn't be my neighbour any more.

If your Muslim neighbor says you must get rid of your dog to respect Islam, what would you do?

@anderswin @defense_civil25 Because chemtrails are real. They diffuse a certain substance into the atmosphere that lowers some people’s IQ by as much as 50%

@defense_civil25 Does not look like a nuke. Why would you say that?

🚨Update: Did the IDF just nuke the Iranian city of Isfahan? Massive MUSHROOM CLOUD EXPLOSION strikes city!

@GadSaad Why does he look like a homeless schizophrenic?

Not wanting your society to be overrun by Islam is apparently racist.

@K_AminThaabet Excellent idea! That'll make people tow the line. It's wetted my appetite to see the result, so I 'm waiting with baited breath.

This needs to be reposted on mass

@JeremyUnplugged If they aren't terrorists then they have nothing to worry about, eh?

The Knesset has passed a law allowing the death penalty for terrorists. Supporters say it’s a necessary deterrent for terrorists and a matter of justice. Other Israelis warn of serious human rights concerns and feel the move is very barbaric. Where do you all stand on this? 🧐
