We aren’t too happy about it either

by Whaleoil on December 21, 2011

Mr Jan Trotman, 66, kept man of St Mary’s Bay and his band of drop-kicks, including the Clown of Campbells Bay was sworn in yesterday.

The Herald took this photo….yeah we aren’t too pleased about it all either:

    This says it all - true WINSTON! he was clearly tired and testy about the proceedings at parliament almost as though the challenge is over and now he is bored stiff!

  • kaykaybee

    What a particularly surly picture of bauble-boy.  I wonder if it’s breathing around the cracked ribs, the knee creaking or the tropical disease flare-up causing such a pained expression. Maybe he’s just looking around at his caucus and wondering just how the hell he’s ever going to whip any of them into a credible unit.

    Now that is a torn sack if assholes if ever I saw one……

    Wheres the money Winston, now you’ve got a job how about paying it back, you sad sack of shit.

    • sthnjeff

      Or at least give the fucking money to Susan Couch as you have promised to do but thus far have spectacularly failed to deliver upon.  And while your at it please be so kind to let us poor taxpayers know where the rest of the $158k went.

    “lets get one thing straight right now andrew, if you think your’e going to sit next to me and fart like that, you can fuck off….”

    Ever heard of dead rats folks?

    I suspect right now the Nats are trying to figure out how to give NZFirst “a final opportunity” to be involved in government. Not this time but in 2014.

    This is Labour’s ultimate nightmare.

    It will be part of the long game for center right sustainability.

    After all, NZFirst is a centre right party at it’s core, and I view it as a disgrace they and the National Party are not working together more constructively. No less than a betrayal of their supporters.

    Let’s face it, the more NZFirst is maligned, the more Labour is loving it. Far better for the PM to  work out an exit strategy from the hole National is digging.

    Risk vs return: Bring NZFirst into the tent where they are quietly swallowed up by the major party, or become a MMP partner. Attack them, give Winston oxygen and see them head to Labour or vote no on confidence.

    • sthnjeff

      For NZ First to get back into the tent, it requires the utterance of two simple words by Mr Jan Trotter, kept Pensioner of St Mary’s Bay…. “I resign”. Simple, but then wait, that would mean no NZ First of course.

      • Peter Wilson

        Yes, yes of course that’s the best outcome for the country. Get rid of Winston. But where is your Plan B?

        Democracy’s a funny thing, when electors have their say, you may not agree with it, but you deal with it. Or wither.

        A valid strategy is certainly to get rid of NZ First, but if that fails, or worse, backfires; what then?

        I’d say Nationals strategy would be to quietly ignore Winston, treat him with mild respect only, and let it play out. Only a fool would attack him, and sometimes the winning strategy is to do nothing.

      Agreed, PW. 
      I dislike Winston as much as anyone, but I could still live with the Nats making an agreement with NZ First – preferably that NZF would support them on “confidence and supply”.

    • Observation

      Forget about in John Key will never work with Winston Peters. Winston would have to go and without him there’s no NZ First.

  • RAS

    That would seem to be a great exit plan for Winston – he has proved his point now he should get back to St Marys Bay quickly and let the government move on to governing the country..

    His wig looks like it was a bit askew as well

    • kevin

      Does he actually wear a wig/hairpiece?

      • hair2there

        sure does – if you check the middle of the hairpiece in this photo you can see where the hair has come away from the thatch. a little overdue for maintenance……

      • http://www.whaleoil.co.nz Whaleoil

        Looks like it to me…be a question someone in the media might like to ask.

        Every time I meet Winston i tell him “sotte voce” that his hairpiece is crooked. For some reason the next 30 minutes never goes well. Very ungrateful of him.

    For fuck sakes Andrew retrain yourself, you just pissed on my shoe,

    Why didn’t Winston, as leader of Winny First speak giving congrats. to the speaker?  Every other leader did, except Winny!!!!!  Was it a case of an urgert meeting with a Mr Johnny Walker that kept him elsewhere during the leaders reply? 

  • sthnjeff

    Or was it Andrew Williams on Holiday in Texas???

    A case of tempus fugit I think for WP. My God, he’s looking raddled. I wonder if his internal bits ar as badly worn after decades of abuse from Johnny Walker and nicotine tar.  

  • An observer

    He looks like he is too sweet to be wholesome.

  • Agent BallSack

    Put Winston in charge of immigration!

  • Bo Jangles

    National’s strategy should be to ‘white-ant” NZ1 policy by quietly trumping their acceptable stuff.

  • Sooty

    Them greens are sitting in MY seat, Mr Speaker.

  • cas

    Sweetd you might not know that Winnie stood against Lockwood for the 1984 nomination in Rodney ( or whatever it was called then) and LOST. So it might be sour grapes still.

    • Anonymous

      Cas, was not aware.  Might go some way to explaining this. Talk about holding grudges!!!!

  • Ploughman

    Many years ago when TV was first used in the  House he demanded a change of seat so he could be seen on TV showing his best side.  But this photo merely shows the moment when he realised he no longer has a best side!  

  • Paulus

    I am sure that Winnie had no serious idea that he would get re-elected, until the MSM decided to promote him, (not his party). 
    But remembver there is only one NZ first MP and that is Winnie. Nobody else will be allowed to say anything, not even a maiden speech.

  • Shoreboy57

    Love the pic. Have MSM turned on him already?

  • An observer

    There is nothing good to be said about this man.

  • Gazzaw

    I hope for Andrew’s sake that he doesn’t wake the old bugger up with his nocturnal texting.

    For me, that’s the first ‘What the fuck are you getting up to over there, Prosser?’ look.
