The Whale’s North Shore City Council spies have been whispering conspiratorially in his ear.
It seems the Mad Mayor of North Shore is furiously, desperately trying to arrange a peace meeting with the new editor of the Sunday Star Times. Can’t wait till those credit card statements hit the front page.
The Clown of Campbells Bay, Andrew Williams hasn’t got a hope, despite his desperate calls, of having a boozy lunch with the new editor, until they have finished dissecting all of their LGOIMA requests.
I figure it will be around the time Williams is packing his office into a card-board box one Monday that the invitation will be accepted, and by then his Mayoral credit card will have passed its expiry date.
You would think so after running a fake terror stunt.
Police Minister Judith Collins is fuming at the “stupidity” of a Sunday Star-Times stunt that saw groups of people dressed as terrorist bombers – with fake bombs strapped to them – attend Super 14 games.
The newspaper commissioned people masquerading as terrorists to attend Super 14 Games at Waikato Stadium in Hamilton and AMI Stadium in Christchurch at the weekend, Ms Collins said.
“They gained access to public areas, the players tunnel and corporate hospitality areas and police attending the event were not advised of these activities,” she said.
This falls into the cunning stunt category. What would have happened if the Police had shot and killed one of the “terrorists”? I can see Bombers rants now about racist Police killing innocent rugby pretending to be a Palestinian Freedom activist.
This has to be one of dumbest things I have heard of being organised by the so called mainstream media. it is more of stunt that bloggers like Tim Selwyn or ironically named Bomber Bradbury, even John Minto and his rent a mob wouldn’t have tried this.
“This was incredibly stupid. If anybody had been discovered, then it is likely the games would have been called off. There could have been panic in the stadiums, people could well have been evacuated, and whenever you have a large crowd, people could have been injured.
“At a lot of these games there are children, elderly, people in wheelchairs. For the sake of a silly newspaper stunt, they have put other people at risk because of what would have happened if one of them had been discovered.” She said it was pure chance that they were not detected, and there was not an incident at the stadiums.
“They had fake bombs on them. It’s very dangerous behaviour and so stupid it beggars belief. I find it hard to believe how any responsible newspaper editor would think that was a useful action to undertake for the sake of a story.”
This video is perhaps very appropriate for the SST editor.
