    So every cartoonists in NZ have been body-shaming her by highlighting her toothy grin?

    Tell that to someone you love when they don’t want to go to school because they get bullied every day for being fat, or skinny, or wearing glasses, or for having imperfect teeth. Not just girls either. You just don’t get it.

    Have a nice day.

    Which part of Jacinda being a politician, as devious and conniving as they come, do you not get?

    Comparing any politician to school children, kids, loved ones - you are stooping very very low to try and justify your defence of a grubby politician.

    Even if you were bullied for being whatever (as I was at school) I believe the correct attitude is to harden up, punch the bully back, and get on with life. Snowflakes abounding everywhere. That is life, there will always be nasty people around. We need to teach our kids how to cope with these nasties and fight back rather than try to insulate them.

    As per the norm , completely unbalanced, colour wasted on you everything is back and white nothing in between. Give me Jacinda any second of the day over the extreme false trump tactic repetitive lying of Simon and his sad sack prosecuting bottom scraping false negative sentiment prosecuting tactics, any moment of the day. Half the nation prob on antidepressants because they've been naive enough to believe simon dooms trump tactics.

    Simon is not in power - the grubby one is, and showing her true colours with all the broken promises and incompetence in dealing with economic, racial, religious and gender issues - GRUBBY.

    Great in theory but unless you want your bullied kid/grandkid suspended or expelled from preschool/school, it is impractical advice. The bullied kid who retaliates with violence will end up in trouble, and chances are the bully will get away with it.

    Regardless, bullying anyone about their physical appearance (most of which is beyond their control) is wrong and adults should never accept, encourage, or validate it. End of story.

    I’m not justifying anything. I don’t give a **** what you think of Jacinda as a politician. You are free to think what you like.

    I am telling you that bullying someone for their physical appearance is unacceptable, no matter who they are.

    I despise Trump more than any human being on earth and express it often, in all manner of places, using all kinds of colourful language. But I won’t drag his physical appearance into it because even for someone as despicable as him, that is “hitting below the belt” and people with integrity and some semblance of personal moral compass, know where the line is.

    You could get your anti-Jacinda message across perfectly well without crossing that line - if you chose to. But you won’t - because you enjoy winding me up. I can take it. I’m a big girl (with integrity) but I will only take it until I’m bored. Then I’ll go find something better to do
