Five Chins Dead Right

It is not often The Whale agrees with Shane “Five Chins” Jones, but today he has it dead right and is rewarded with a nomination in the MP of the Month award.

Labour MP Shane Jones says John Key should intervene in a Far North land occupation before thousands attend a fishing competition at the end of the month.

Land at Taipa which is up for sale is being occupied by two brothers, John and Wikatana Popata, who assaulted the Prime Minister at Waitangi last year.

The occupation is likely still to be in progress when the Lions Club hold its annual fishing competition.

Yes, if John Key can tell the cops I’m not above the law then he should tell them the same thing in this case. If he can comment on saving “Honest” Hone Harawiras arse from a road safety prosecution then he should speak out on this too. Actually speaking of “Honest” Hone, where is he on this issue of the occupation of private land?

The silence is defeaning from the two actual MPs for the area. Grow some balls boys.

Another thing I find funny is that the only nominations for MP of the Month for January are Labour MPs, is that because they are working rather than sunning their asses? The nominees so far are Clare Curran, Kelvin “Small School” Davis and now Shane “Five Chins” Jones. Though Kelvin Davis has dropped off the pace with this silly post. Only in a unionist teacher’s wildest dreams has there been a cradle to the grave education system and that is only for them. Born, went to school, went to university, went to teachers college, went back to school till they retired, then died. No wonder teachers are generally mal-adjusted.

    Bollocks. Its easy to talk tough when you don't have to actually do anything. He's just another back room pansy. If the land owner has complained(?) it must be a police issue?

    The other thing is the issue of title. Alloidial title exists in rare occasions in NZ but most of us don't have that. I suspect, legally, most land is Crown land and despite people wafting the phrase "freehold" thinking its perpetual. It will be interesting if the line is crossed.

    Bollocks John Boy. Yes you can use a fancy word in it's correct context, but I think you're talking crap. Got anything to back yourself up?

  • aaa

    Which law exactly are they breaking WO?

  • http://intensedebate.com/people/Whaleoil Whaleoil

    Illegal occupation of private land, trespass

  • aaa

    No such law for your first answer and incorrect on your second, try again.

    What happens if private land was stolen in the first place?

    • Dion

      That would actually be a fair comment – if it were anything more than a matter of opinion.

  • Sinner

    Who gives a fuck what law they are breaking?

    There are so many to choose from:

    Crimes Act – Unlawful Assembly, Forcible Entry and Detainder, Sabotage, and my favourite – Treason.

    They're also breaching the Terrorism Supression Act.

    send in the cops to gun 'em down. If they won't do it – I'm sure Whale could recruit a few lively lads!

  • Sinner

    only nom i na tions for MP of the Month for Jan u ary are Labour MPs, is that because they are work ing rather than sun ning their asses?

    It's because you're losing your touch. The kiddie-fiddler protection cases must be distracting you.

  • aaa

    Sinner you and the Popatas have one thing in common.

    And while I'm on this subject what is it with all these lazy arsed Hori's??
    They got given cloaks and guns for the land, fair swap, done and dusted.
    They've also been paid out billions but the lazy arsed Hori's keep coming back for more.
    What ever happened to a deal being a deal??
    Just look in today's paper and read about the woman that sold her home to cheap, the high court told her she must follow through with the deal. Same thing!!
    My father many years ago was angry with my mother and sold her car cheap as and regreted it later but did he go crying about it and try and get it back??? NO!!! He went and bought another car for her and just sucked it up. So these lazy ared Hori's should do exactly the same. If their Great great great great great great Grandfather was a poor negotiator it's not my fucking fault!!

    McCully is working like a trooper and Key will be back into today with Willie coming.

    Where's Honest Hori on this you ask….. Honest Hori doesn't give a rats arse as he will be backing these low lifes.
    A few months back a similiar story was about, I think in Kawakawa where a bunch of lazy arse Hori's took over a building that some guy bought. The police finally got rid of them and they should do the same here.
