Labour / NZ First Government

[tim23]

Vance defeats herself with her own logic. She lists male politicians who did have abbreviations or nick names. Rob Muldoon was christened Robert. Bill English...William. Rob Muldoon was probably called Piggy more than anything else. Lefties had a bunch of derogatory names for John Key. She also doesn't appear to have a problem with Aunty Helen, which was both endearing and patronising, depending on who was using it.

Get over it Andrea! (And Cindy).

Hello - Bill English as I recall never had a pet name as such - Bill is short for William - gee Balance Junior even you could figure that out.

As usual the chorus from no doubt males or a certain age and political leaning - In terms of Jim and Bill really they called themselves those names neither was derogatory or chosen for them - Balance when has JA every mocked DT - im fairly certain her does that all by his big self.

Rather enjoyed the train wreck interview this morning. 😁

This is the man the PM says she works with really well. Really, Cindy?

And are you okay with throwing James Shaw under the bus over the Green School scandal?

“This shorthand appellation is an insidious way of diminishing Ardern’s power and agency.
But the misogynistic jab says more about the (mostly) men using it, than it does Ardern.
If sexist name-calling is all they’ve got, then she has already won the argument”

Sums you up pretty well Balance

Cindy may be short for Jacinda but it is the misogynistic derogatory way it is used that is the issue here

All hell breaking lose from Lefties about the PM referred to with a shorter version of her Cristian name while the same Lefties disgracefully call Collin’s husband an “ape”. Hypocrites
