Oh really?

Green vandal Jolyon White reckons he wasn’t actively involved in the attack on National’s billboards:

White, who did not personally take part in Sunday’s raids, said the stunt had cost $500, which he paid himself.

Really? Then perhaps he would like to explain who was riding his motorbike on Sunday night when it was chased by someone who saw the vandalism and who subsequently sent the details to my tipline?

Is he regularly in the habit of lending out his motorbike to someone, who takes pillion passengers on night time vandalism sprees around Christchurch?

He may as well tell because it is likely the Police will be asking the same questions.

    Bet you 2 bucks the Green heirarchy not only knew about this stunt, but approved the funding for it as well.

    The conversation would have gone something like this. “To EA: Thanks for the heads up on the billboard vandalism campaign, but I can’t be seen to be involved, so I don’t really want to know about it, ok?” The underlings have a fair idea about what their leader wants, but know he can’t be involved, so they do it “without his knowledge”. It’s called plausible deniability.

      Yep. Like the Cubans in Watergate.

    So he didn’t personally take part, but paid for the materials.

    Isn’t that personally taking part…? It’s like saying Osama Bin Laden wasn’t responsible for blowing up the World Trade Centre cause he didn’t fly the plane.

      Printing 700 odd stickers that size would have cost way more than $500. where did the rest of the funding come from?I’m smelling a rat here

      • Bunswalla

        And will the cost be declared as part of the Greens campaign spending?

    In fact, I believe the Green Party should allow an independent investigation into all their communications, to ensure there is no Party involvement in these illegal activities. If it is all above board, they shouldn’t object to this.

      Time for a forensic examination of the EA’s computer methinks…

      They might not have any option if the police do their job properly.

    You also have to wonder how many other employees at parliament knew about this or actually helped out as some form of deluded political message.  In Newlands, a husband of a  PA to a nataional party minister was seen putting up one of the stickers (which I might add, actually make me want to vote for National more !).

    And what is the reaction from his employer, the Anglican Church. Do they have a priniting press?

    Ask Turei – the police sadly will do nothing until the open the file about 2013 or so.
