Soup throwing again

Over Posie Parker (as was. Kelly forgot the rest of her name)
On her NZ tour.

I dont do links, but it's probably easy to find.

The person who threw it followed up with a quick speech, saying something like she wished it was blood, or next time it should be blood. I couldnt really hear clearly.

Why such vitriol and violence?

(If there is another thread about this, apologies.)

Honestly, the use of the word Nazi to shut discussion down is so hackneyed.

They were actual, real Nazis...hmm

So we've moved on from throwing hot soup and making speeches about blood... to pouring juice that you think looks like blood.

Ah well, maybe a bit more like reality than your first idea.

Sometimes you talk out of your backside volver 3...so just because posie was stood next to a German person , does that make her a nazi by association?
At least Posie has the balls to stand up for womens rights!!! What occurred in NZ was feral and scary.

Which one of these were German?

Feral and scary, right enough. Stop making pathetic excuses and admit what's going on.

Was one of these lads German?

Free speech is under attack.

Doesn't matter who had what ever liquid thrown over them the NZ police should be ashamed of themselves.

This kind of act emboldens people.

volver3 Wed 29-Mar-23 19:40:07

Why should they be ashamed of themselves?

The arrested the juice-pourer and she's going to court.

How much do you actually know about what happened and how much are you making up?

volver3 Wed 29-Mar-23 19:48:08

By the way free speech doesn't include being allowed to incite violence and stir up hate.

Which is what the pretendy-Marilyn-Monroe does.

That's me exercising my free speech there.

Namsnanny Wed 29-Mar-23 19:53:39

Now dont be silly V. You've got a little too hot under the collar. Thats all.
A nice cup of tea always helps in these situations.cafe although this is coffee, I think. Thought I'd better fess up as I know you like clarity where your liquids are concerned.

In other words, "I have no idea what went on so I'll just be patronising instead."

Namsnanny Wed 29-Mar-23 19:59:07

I would say deflecting not patronising.
But what ever floats your boat.

I think you hit a nerve there. 😂
I wouldn’t mind looking like Marilyn 🥰
And, yes, Volvo I’m know I’m shallow. 😂

vroom vroom

If I was aiming at anything MerylStreep it was probably a funny bone grin

The word ‘Nazi’ appears to have become shorthand for ‘somebody who says things I don’t like’. The actual Nazis were far worse than Standing For Women’, but hey, let’s not reality spoil things.

I am not making any excuses!!!!
What ever you think of Posie, that juice/ soup could have been acid, not acceptable behaviour, as was the elderly lady punched in the face by the bearded one, it was like watching wild animals baying for blood...and you endorse this?

volver3 Wed 29-Mar-23 20:15:12

They were Nazi's. They are actual Nazis. I've posted pictures and everything.

Maybe they're just misunderstood.

You have to know where it is on the target first 😂

JaneJudge Wed 29-Mar-23 20:17:02

keeping laws in the UK based on biological sex that protects safeguarding isn't anti trans or being a Nazi

A bunch of idiots with swastika badges waving their arms in the air is not even approaching the vileness carried out by the Third Reich. They’re idiots and thugs. No more or less. And they are not affiliated with Standing For Women in any way.

Namsnanny Wed 29-Mar-23 20:26:24

The person who elbowed a poor old gran in the eye, quite deliberately btw, was double her size and dressed as a woman. Not a Nazi, I'm afraid.

20.14 ....I agree Bridie22

volver3 Wed 29-Mar-23 20:26:58

THEY'RE NAZIS

Holy Smoke.

No I do not endorse it.

Nor do I endorse assaulting aboriginal senators, Nazi salutes on the streets of Melbourne or any of the rubbish she's talking here.

Best moment, 5:30 in and the few minutes after.

Good bit where she uses the lyrics of Mika's "Grace Kelly" and thinks she's really clever.

I've no idea who this interviewer is but I like her.

Bridie22 Wed 29-Mar-23 20:31:38

Even if they were nazis or aliens, its doesn't excuse what happened !

Blossoming Wed 29-Mar-23 20:33:01

Keep your blinkers on then Volver3. I hope you take them off before it’s too late.

volver3 Wed 29-Mar-23 20:37:33

Okey doke. I'll mention that to my LGBTQI friends in Adelaide, they'll be delighted to comply.
