More likely he was shacked up!!

Andrew was too mean to waste his money on some slip of a girl. On sheep though...?

I suspect that the New Zealanders take their cue from their doughty, Scottish forebears and then compound the interest very thriftily.

If he was a genuine Kiwi he would have noticed the mesmerizing effect his accent would have on those blonde girls with mini-skirt and roller skates.

Are these leaders sooh arrogant that they think people will forget their totalitarian urges in a short time before the next election?

Unless Shergar’s sister manages to achieve the medical impossibility of zero-Covid1984, which I very much doubt...

Jacinda Ardern in self-isolation as Covid cases rise in New Zealand

https://www.cnn.com/2022/01/30/asia/jac ... index.html

(CNN)New Zealand's Prime Minister, Jacinda Ardern has entered self-isolation until Tuesday after being deemed a close contact of a positive Covid-19 case.

"The exposure event took place on Saturday 22 January during flight NZ8273 from Kerikeri to Auckland," the New Zealand government said in a press release Saturday.
The statement added that the country's Governor-General -- Dame Cindy Kiro -- and members of her staff were also on board this flight and are following the same isolation instructions.
It added that Ardern was exposed as a close contact when she and the Governor-General were in Northland "undertaking advance filming at the Waitangi Treaty Grounds" for the Waitangi Day broadcast.
The genome sequencing result for the case is due on Sunday and it is expected to indicate "that the case has been infected with the Omicron variant," the press release added.

Ardern remains asymptomatic and "is feeling well."
All other passengers on board flight NZ8273, including the Governor-General and members of her staff are also getting tested and self-isolating for 10 days.
Ardern enters self-isolation just a week after she canceled her own wedding plans amid a rise in Omicron cases across New Zealand. The country is at the highest "red light" setting of its Covid response -- and, in December, it announced that it would be pushing back its phased border reopening plans until February as concerns over the Omicron variant grew.
Chris Hipkins -- the nation's minister for Covid-19 response -- said at the time: "Waiting till the end of February will increase New Zealand's overall protection and slow Omicron's eventual spread. There's no doubt this is disappointing and will upset many holiday plans, but it's important to set these changes out clearly today so they can have time to consider those plans."
New Zealand has recorded 16,288 Covid-19 cases and 52 deaths over the course of the pandemic.

Thanks pp - couldn't be bothered myself.

Test has indicated negative today for PM but that doesn't seem to be conclusive with omicron. Both varieties of omicron also said to be circulating now.

Trudeau is reported to have fled when more than a 'token handful' of truck drivers turned up in Ottawa...about 50,000 is the reported figure.

After the despicable act was discovered the organizers of the convoy created their own security detail to guard the War Memorial.
It was also mentioned that given the state of education in Canada (and elsewhere) it is likely that whoever did this didn't even know what the memorial is all about. In this climate of "taking down the statues" it is likely that he thought all is fair game.

Thanks Dushan - honour restored. I found it hard to believe that the descendants of men who fought so valiantly in two world wars could behave like that.

J H, what part of "A pregnant TV reporter from New Zealand said she has had to seek help from the Taliban after she was not able to return to her home country from Afghanistan due to Covid quarantine rules" do you not understand??
Though since then, probably due to the bad publicity there has been a change of heart:-

Good luck all those in NZ trying to achieve the impossible viz "Zero Covid. You'll be isolated for the next 40,000 years or however long homo sapiens has been wandering around this earth acquiring natural immunity from virei whose aim is NOT to eliminate their hosts.
Maybe Shergar's sister will wake up eventually when she finally realises the futility and collateral damage of her totalitarian restrictions, modelled on those of Oz and the CCP?
Strange how this little island has also succumbed to the vagaries of good ole' Mother Nature:-

Recently reported is the plight of Kiribati, a remote island nation in the Pacific Ocean with a population of around 122,000, which until two weeks ago had avoided having any cases of COVID-19 at all, but following an outbreak has now imposed its first lockdown. What we didn’t know then is the detail of the extremely strict protocols the virus circumvented.

Not only were all 54 passengers on the flight fully vaccinated, masked, and tested negative for Covid three times in nearby Fiji before arrival, they had also been in pre-departure quarantine for two weeks before the flight, and were put in quarantine with additional testing when they arrived.

Despite this, two-thirds of the passengers (36 of 54) tested positive for Covid after arriving from Fiji on January 15th. This has led to the island’s first outbreak, which as of January 31st consists of 460 reported infections (and no deaths) and, despite the lockdown, is growing fast.
Kiribati declared a state of disaster and imposed the lockdown on January 22nd. A third of Kiribati citizens are fully vaccinated against COVID-19.
There was a similar situation last month in Antarctica, when “nearly two-thirds of the research staff based at the Princess Elisabeth Polar Station became infected with COVID-19 despite strict health protocols in place. The workers at the Princess Elizabeth Polar Station were also fully vaccinated, took multiple PCR tests, and quarantined before arriving at the research facility”.
While the episode illustrates once more how hard it is to keep out a highly contagious respiratory virus, it also raises questions about how it got through. It’s hard to discern what exactly happened. How, after weeks of quarantine and multiple tests did a plane rock up at the airport and two thirds of passengers go on to test positive? Did one passenger have a strangely long incubation period and infect the others on the flight? Or was there some laxness in the application of the rules?
Either way, it underlines the pointlessness of restrictions on travel, including testing, privileges for the vaccinated and the requirement to mask, which are just costly inconveniences that deter travel and achieve nothing.

Once again you're speaking from your fundament bm. The zero Covid was abandoned months ago. The government may be criticised for many things but the border restrictions imposed at present are in place to prevent the relatively poorly equipped health system from being overwhelmed by the rapid spread of omicron which the government freely admits is only a few weeks away. The zero covid strategy you seem fixated on is gone - just like the Norwegian Blue to give you a simple comparison.

It's emotive to take up the cause of pregnant women and Bellis is a reporter after all and is no doubt prompted by a reporter's wish for a scoop. Good luck to her as she has achieved her scoop and embarrassed the government. Any of the other pregnant women waiting for MIQ slots should be re-assessed if necessary but remember women have been giving birth since mankind has been roaming the earth so most of them will not be in dire danger, like Bellis claims to have been with the Taleban... I suspect the government will allow similar cases to isolate at home as the omicron wave is spreading fast here and the border will be relaxed - restricted access at the border policy having worked or not maybe.

The government can be accused of lots of things and I'm not a fan of some of their legislation but 53 deaths (v 156,000 in the UK is it?) isn't a bad record so far and omicron will inevitably add a few more. They have finally caught up, just about, on the vaccinations and any who haven't been jabbed so far can take their chances if they catch it - they can't restrict access to medical facilities on that basis. They know full well they will have to open the borders before too long - perhaps when omicron has run its course. So criticise them for slow purchase of vaccine, lack of ICU beds, disorganisation in the health service etc - fill your boots - but just don't fill them from inaccurate foreign press reports - and take foot from mouth first.

Having been present at or involved in newsworthy events in my life I've read the press coverage with amazement - it was never accurate and often very wrong.

Like me I suspect JH (though I would never presume to speak for him) was puzzled by your strange trying too hard to be clever writing style?

[FD2]

Your mention of Fiji and Antarctica is interesting bm but it doesn't underline the pointlessness or restrictions on travel. If there were no restriction then the whole system would grind to a halt which might cause a 'few problems' around the world, but it does underline the need to find out how those events occurred and how to stop them re-occurring.

From November 2021:-

Extract from a letter sent to the NZ Medical Council from a retired Doctor in Tauranga.
“… the still birth rate has rocketed. Usually there are 114 still births per year for the entire country but in just two weeks Hastings alone had 9 still births in vaccinated mothers who were following your advice to get the vaccine. You are responsible for the death of those babies. You have blood on your hands. I suppose you are also in denial regarding the deaths of teenagers.
We have 2 siblings dead after the vaxathon in Christchurch – a girl aged 15 and a boy aged 17. Plus a 17 year old boy in Northland and a 13 year old in the South Island – both dead the day after their vaccination -and a 14 year old boy in South Auckland who died 2 hours after his vaccination. Also the 17 year old girl whose death should have stopped the roll out but was instead blamed, prior to any autopsy report, on the pill – which she had been prescribed some time prior so therefore the GP would have checked for clotting risk factors at that point in time.
I know a lot more about this case then you do as I know close family friends. I am also aware that the government has asked families involved with severe adverse reactions and deaths to sign waivers that come with financial settlements. This blatant attempt to further cover up vaccine failures is abhorrent, as is the gagging of the media at the cost of millions of dollars of tax payer money.
Why don’t you speak up against this propaganda ? Why do you sit quietly and do nothing while the government promotes a drug that should never have passed Medsafe? And to add insult to injury, in promoting the vaccine you have violated the Nuremberg Code in its entirety. You might like to look that up and familiarise yourself with your offences. You are all guilty of crimes against humanity. And if you think I am exaggerating, you are wrong.
I have all of your names and I have forwarded them – except for Dr Goodman, who I know is in her heart a very decent person – along with the names of Dr Bryan Betty and Dr Samantha Murton and the NZ board of the RANZCOG, to Dr Reiner Fuelmich. Dr Fuelmich is an international trial lawyer who has successfully sued large fraudulent corporations eg Volkswagen and Deutsche Bank. His worldwide network of lawyers has listened to over a hundred experts from every field of science and medicine relating to the current PCR / Covid fraud. In due course he intends to put a Nuremberg 2 trial through the International Criminal Court.
Finally, I do not wish to be associated with a scientifically ignorant organisation that has lost its ability to practice evidence based medicine, has banned open debate, censors its doctors, allows politicians to decide how best to treat patients, has abandoned the principal of informed consent and, worst of all, has broken its promise to first do no harm. I hold you in the utmost contempt as do many New Zealanders. I shall see you on the other side of history. My conscience will be clear but may God have mercy on you”.
Alanna Ratna, Retired GP, Tauranga.

There is a 29X increase in the rate of stillborn babies in Waterloo, Ontario that started after vaccination program rolled out. All the mothers of the stillborn babies were vaccinated.
I’m sure this is happening everywhere, but nobody in the US wants to lose their job over this."
So why the CDC is saying this is perfectly safe for pregnant women? I’m curious as to what the CDC has determined the cause of this. Obviously, it couldn’t be the “safe and effective” vaccine. Note: the CDC doesn’t have jurisdiction in Canada of course, but they could call over there and find out…
The good news of course is that this only appears to be happening in areas of the world where they release data to the public on what is going on.
One place is Scotland: Investigation launched into abnormal spike in newborn baby deaths in Scotland.
Another place is Canada, but only thanks to a courageous whistleblower (otherwise, we wouldn’t know):"

And more:-
One Canadian doctor is speaking out about the sudden increase of stillbirths in Canadian hospitals.

And more:-
“During 2019 flu season 167m vaccines were given in US and 32 deaths reported to VAERS.
During the first 167m covid vaccines given in US, 5,506 deaths were reported to VAERS.”

UK Spontaneous Suspected Adverse Drug Reaction (ADR) reports, Medicines and Healthcare Product Regulator Agency.
in relation to all other vaccines, ADRs reported…
2017…3,880
2018…3,926
2019…3360
2020…2,739
2021…2,052….Covid vaccine……337,064.

Thanks Dushan - honour restored. I found it hard to believe that the descendants of men who fought so valiantly in two world wars could behave like that.

Did 'Justin The Woke' really flee as the papers said?

Yes he did. He was whisked to "a secure, undisclosed location" which everyone knows is a Harrington lake cottage used by Prime Ministers as a retreat (similar to Camp David in US). The next day he announced that he tested positive for COWARD-19 and that he will not be emerging for a while. However he is expected to show up on February 2, and if he sees a shadow of a truck to go back into his hole for another 6 weeks.
