So I say with all my liberal Kiwi attitude stay at home and fix your own mess.
I am not sure why you need to be so angry about this as we have a common ground, you don't want to come and we don't want you its a perfect match not an easy thing to achieve on the political stage.
However to return to the topic, I think this is a somewhat ludicrous request (kind of like banning the cars from F1 because they are noisy and detract from the racing) from the mayor that fortunately was ignored by those concerned. |

Right. First - why do you accuse those who apply to join New Zealand from Britain of screwing up their own country? Your prejudices showing again! A disgusting and intolerant view of immigrants. Just as I suggested. Welcome to New Zealand - Er,no - not if you are fat - not if you are British - not if you you come from anywhere 'screwed up' - not if you might get ill - not if you are in need- not if you come from a country in need. Nice useful kind of long-term tourists can apply. (No religious preferred.) There you go, the MontyB tolerance show.
I see you have conveniently circumvented my quote on 'Fatism'; but then you would, just as you have declined to comment on my references to tolerance , regarding ailments bringing rejection of applications to New Zealand. Your country, as i suggested, certainly is concerned regarding fatness, which can make applicants rejects; your country and yourself are at odds on this point, it seems.
Furthermore, surely it is obvious that I am indeed staying here to help my countrymen and am therefore in no need whatsoever of your idiotic 'advice'.
What on earth gave you the ludicrous idea that I was angry, in any way, on any aspect of my posts on this thread - do you not recognise the 'happy' icon or does ignoring it suit your case? Try to think of me as, say, The Laughing Cavalier. Yes, that's it.
As far as not wanting me - you have delusions of grandeur, speaking for your country with your royal 'we'. Sorry, I failed to realise that you are now Foreign Secretary - or perhaps you were you referring to you and your cat.
In fact your claim is obviously complete rubbish because I NEVER did apply and therefore the outcome will remain unknown (good fact there) ; I am sure that New Zealand would have been delighted to have me, but never mind, your loss has been England's gain. So you are wrong , in that you and I do not have a match; but you are absolutely right in saying that I NEVER wanted to apply; like Julius Caesar, I came, I saw, I went home.
Well, for you, 1 out of 2 ain't bad, I guess.
(Regarding your 'returning to the topic'; I am trying to get a translation from somewhere; if ever I succeed, I will attempt to respond.)
