The revealed face of the National Party and ACT … I’ve thought since seeing pics of gilmore (who i have never heard of before) that he looks like a typical Christs College/Kings type of born to rule twat. The very type that spelt the ruin of the British Empire. You have to be a meritocracy … not a squatocracy based on born to rule principles.
Its quite scary to look at pics of Gilmore frankly … a picture says more than thousands of words… makes it easy for bloggers i guess … who needs to be clever and erudite when the situation and the picture speak for themselves … loudly …
Interesting that you would say that. I saw these insightful comments from reporter Simon Bradwell who attended the Gilmore press conference where National Party senior whip Louise Upston channeled Gina Hardface Bitch …

There is a touch of ‘Toad of Toad Hall’ about him but I checked. He’s an alumni of Shirley Boys. Always best to stick to the facts.

Thanks for the link to Hansard. What a great story Mr Gilmore tells:
I said he “looked like … (type) christs / kings etc” .. implication being a pretender to an as yet undefined throne.
In cases like that “sticking to the facts” is always a matter up for debate … and ‘grabs’ for that matter.
But thanks so much for the reminder …
This guy is a douche he should be stood down.
But why am I not surprised the Labour shills here immediately
make the transparent leap.
Craig … mate … i mean this respectfully but i am not a labour shill .. i detest what clark did and i am no labourite … neither in my opinion is Peter …
For gods sake get a new songsheet … Gilmore is what he is no matter what political hue … just his attitude has that aristocratic ‘ring’ to it ..
Dare i say it.
He reminds me of a young Michael Laws.
