Barrie Davis: What does New Zealand mean to me?

The United Kingdom is continuing down the path of illegal migration together with its attendant problems. Could the racial discord in Britain be a sign of things to come for New Zealand? Here are some recent events for consideration.

The British knew before the July 4 election that they were about to elect someone they did not want. But after 14 years of Conservative rule, they had no other choice. Brexit was about migration, yet the Tories did nothing with it. The boats continued to cross the channel and the UK detected 39,000 illegal migrants in the year to June 2024.
For their Prime Minister they now have the previous Director of Public Prosecutions and head of the Crown Prosecution Service; ‘Two-tier Keir’, as he is known on account of his discriminatory application of law to indigenous British.

The UK situation is summarized by Nigel Farage (here). In short, the Brits are concerned about high levels of legal and illegal immigration which is causing a rapid increase in population and a breakdown of the British identity, along with a housing shortage, and pressure on health and education services. There are also high levels of violent crime, particularly an ongoing series of stabbings over decades. The Brits do not now feel safe on the streets of their own country.

There are two clips of Tommy Robinson, a UK journalist with a checkered past, which you need to watch to understand this post. The first is Tommy Robinson answering the question “What does England mean to me?” here (also here). Referring to the policy of the new Labour Government regarding the response of indigenous British to migrants in the UK, he says:

“We are heading into a time when they want to take total control of every one of our freedoms: freedom of speech, freedom of assembly, freedom to eat, freedom to move, freedom to travel, everything! They’re coming down on us. And whilst they do that, some people are just accepting it, for a bit of convenience. They don’t want to step out of line. Well, it’s time to step out of line.”

Tommy Robinson was imprisoned in 2018 after reporting on the trial of 29 Muslims during their grooming gang trial; I have summarized the ongoing grooming gang problem here, Tommy Robinson recently recalls his involvement here, and a report on a recent trial of seven men in Rotherham is here. He was first put in Onley prison with few Muslims but was soon transferred to Belmarsh which is the prison with the largest Muslim population in the UK. There he was at risk so they put him in solitary confinement, which required that his food was delivered, but it was contaminated so he could not eat it. Instead he ate one tin of tuna and a piece of fruit per day. His cell was at ground level opposite the mosque and the Muslims threw excrement through his cell window, so that was blocked up. The second clip you need to watch shows what if anything that did to him after ten weeks in prison here (also here).

Watch the clip and make up your own mind, but to my mind it was a cruel and unusual punishment in an attempt to make him compliant. Then last year the police did this.

Two years ago, on 21 September 2022, Chris Kaba was shot dead in South London by an armed cop. Kaba was a member of the 67 gang and had convictions for possession of firearms, knife-related offenses, and involvement in gang-related violence; he was also involved in a nightclub shooting a few days before his death.

The cop had been trained how to shoot people by the authorities, he was provided with a firearm for the purpose of shooting people by the authorities, and was sent to an incident which the authorities had determined required an armed cop. You can watch the bodycam footage of the incident here.

After the cop had done their dirty work for them, the establishment turned on him like a pack of rabid dogs. He was charged with murder (rather than manslaughter) and he was publicly named which resulted in his family going into hiding, his children being removed from school, and a £10,000 price put on his head. The name of the man he killed, however, was kept secret along with his previous crimes.

The Old Bailey trial was on 21 October this year and the jury acquitted the cop in three hours which is considered a short time for such a case. The jury wrote a note saying that the case should never have gone to trial and asked the judge to read it out, which the judge declined to do. Legal opinion is that due process was followed; public opinion is that it was a nonsense. You can hear politician Nigel Farage give his views here.

The Brits are being restrained while migrants and their leftist apologists run riot in their cities with knife crime and rapes. (e.g., here) The Brits became increasingly outraged by their treatment until 29 July this year when Axel Rudakubana, the son of migrant parents from Rwanda, stabbed a dozen people in Southport resulting in the deaths of three young girls. Nigel Farage gave his opinion here, Tommy Robinson voiced his views here, and a Black dude tells it like it is here.

That started a series of demonstrations by the Brits including violence and destruction. The authorities, in particular the new Prime Minister, Kier Starmer, acted swiftly identifying, prosecuting and jailing thousands of demonstrators. It has since been announced that 5,500 people will get early release from prison by the end of October 2024 to make space for people convicted of rioting (here).

The British have complained for some time that the authorities have not acted so swiftly, if at all, to migrant crime (here), leading to a claim of two-tier policing.

Tommy Robinson recently returned to the UK from Spain after leaving the country at Folkstone in July 2024 following an arrest warrant was issued for contempt of court. He was accused of repeating comments from his documentary Silenced regarding a Syrian refugee, Jamal Hijazi, who successfully sued him for libel in 2021. The judge ruled the comments to be defamatory, ordered Tommy Robinson to pay £100,000 and debarred him from repeating the allegations. There are however those who disagree with this conclusion (here).

While he was abroad Tommy Robinson organized a rally in London for Saturday 26 October, claiming that the state was trying to silence him for speaking out about the impact of migrants on the UK.

After he returned for the Rally he handed himself in at a police station in Folkestone and was arrested in custody Friday 25 October before the weekend rally. He was charged for failing to provide his phone's PIN to officers at Folkstone in July and for contempt of court (BBC). His trial was on 28 October and he was given 9 months in solitary confinement at Belmarsh prison, where he was held previously (here). Belmarsh is now also holding Axel Rudakubana, the person accused of the stabbings at Southport and who has recently also been charged with “producing the poison ricin and possessing a military study of an Al Qaeda training manual” (here).

The rally in central London went ahead as planned and tens of thousands attended (here), albeit without Tommy Robinson. They were carrying signs including, “Two tier Keir fuelled the riots” and “Stop the Boats”. There was also a counter-protest and a considerable police presence tasked with keeping the two groups apart. There were four arrests: two from Tommy Robinson’s group (called ‘Far-right’ in the MSM) and two from the counter-protest group (‘anti-racist’ in the MSM). (Independent)

That stands in contrast to the recent, predominantly Black, Notting Hill Carnival over the Bank Holiday weekend, from August 25 to August 26. Crime was rampant with 8 stabbings, including some victims in critical condition, 50 police were injured and there were assaults on emergency workers. There were 334 arrests and guns, knives and drugs were seized. Residents boarded up and vacated their houses and Blacks used their properties as toilets.

What New Zealand Means to Me

The above begs the question: What relevance, if any, does that have for New Zealand?

The UK authorities are enforcing compliance of indigenous British with the rule of law. Here in New Zealand on the whim of unelected jurists we are rewriting the rulebook in favour of Maori tikanga. The salient difference between the two scenarios is the colour of the indigenous skin; the salient similarity is that it is Europeans who are being suppressed. Is there a pattern here and if so, why?

I expect that I am with the majority when I say I am committed to democracy. But democracy is problematic and we must continually work to make it work.

Our three branches of government continuously compete among themselves to assert their will on the New Zealand people. Our representative Parliament has shown itself to be anything but and We the people are not being represented in the government of New Zealand. That is because there is a missing Fourth element, the Crown.

I recently argued here that sovereignty lies naturally with We the people and that we vest our sovereignty in the Crown in parliament for three years at a time. The purpose of the Crown is to provide an enduring pillar around which out vacillating Parliament can function, which would have the effect of stabilizing our democracy.

Moreover, the Crown must represent the people in Parliament. That entity is in part symbolic; it is a symbol of the idea of King and Queen. To manifest as the object of that symbol and realize that idea, the Crown must be embodied in a monarch who has a personal relationship with the people and a rational mind for guiding Parliament.

So where was our King when he visited Australia and Samoa recently? Why did he not come to New Zealand? Did our once and future King die with Elizabeth? They said it was his health, but a King would have had himself stretchered in if necessary.

But it wasn’t necessary, was it? The reason why King Charles didn’t come to New Zealand was because a minority faction wanted him not to and he meekly complied. That seditious faction are aware that he would arouse in us the idea of the Crown and what it stands for in New Zealand; namely kawanatanga. Our King needs to assert himself to fulfil his function as our Head of State and provide guidance to our divided Parliament.

The relevance to New Zealand is that Britain is a more advanced example of the destruction of our culture by the authorities and their globalist agenda. I don’t think that Britain can recover now and I doubt that we can either.

We are in a time when they want to regress us into primitive tribalism. They use government paid propaganda in all streams of media to take control of our thoughts and behaviours and now even use propaganda in our schools and universities. They’re coming down on us. And whilst they do that, some people are just accepting it, for a bit of convenience. They don’t want to step out of line. Well, it’s time to step out of line.

Why? Because New Zealand means everything to me.
