You can't keep Jacinda Ardern down. She's now muscling in on my action, going around universities in the world picking up cushy positions. And she never even had to study, write papers and do the teaching that was required of the rest of us.
She must've left off her CV how after she quit being NZ Prime Minister, the place became mired in stagnation ever since. According to her preferred "narrative", which she's so brilliant at "shaping", that's the fault of the two non-charismatic Christophers, Hipkins and Luxon, who don't know how to lead like she did. What a genius. So what's she up to now? Ardern has been appointed Distinguished Fellow of the World Leaders Circle, where she's going to teach how to lead. The two Christophers better enroll in her course fast, at least before the next election.
What's the back story? In 2008, a gift to Oxford University by Leonard Blavatnik, a Soviet-Ukraine born oligarch, was brokered by Kiwi John Hood, former Vice Chancellor of Auckland University, who then became VC of Oxford. Hood was a Rhodes Scholar. Blavatnik grew up in Russia & immigrated to America in 1978 at the age of 21. He's worth $NZ 60 billion, and gifted $150 million to start the new "Blavatnik School of Government" at Oxford. Hood promptly installed fellow Kiwi Ngaire Woods as Dean. She was an NZ Rhodes Scholar, just like him. Now Woods has appointed Ardern as a Distinguished Fellow. Let's trust Ukraine's Zelensky, Russia's Putin, China's Xi and America's Trump attend her classes and she gives them one heck of a lecture on the importance of "empathic leadership", which has become her new catch-cry. (It jettisons "kindness" in favour of the less corny, more edgy, "empathy").

Do these overpaid intellectual drop kicks not realise us card carrying members of the great unwashed can read and also write. The well padded gaping credibility chasm Ardern drags around with her will swallow them all.I never understood her popularity and I have been a leftie all my life. She said nothing of substance she had achieved bugger all and couldn't win an electorate set until she was gifted Mt Albert. Such was her indolence.Met her on an anti asset sales march,she was and still is economically illiterate and a racist. All i could do was compare her life achievements at 43 years to my own. She has never impressed me.Indolent incompetent and so shallow.
Cork rises. Beyond absurd.
If it wasn't for the NZCPR Blog, I wouldn't know the dropkick was still thieving oxygen.
Dear God, can we GET RID OF ARDERN from the world's stage.... puleees? She is an embarrassing twit. No insight at all. Doing wonders for the exposure of WEF et al.
Dear Professor MacCulloch. Having read said opine, and pondered the significance of The Appointment of one - Jacinda Ardern (sorry will not acknowledge a Royal Honor, which was unjustified, other than to get rid of her) - can one ask when the following will become Assistants in Chief - to said Distinguished Fellow - they being
Helen Clark, Phil Goff, Trevor Mallard, Grant Robertson (by extension and from a distance), and any other former Labour Party person currently not employed, plus Ashley Bloomfield.
Did not think that Oxford would " sink this low ", but then when someone has $$$$$ to invest, who is going to cry wolf?
Have any of these Brits asked the opinion of any Kiwis about her disastrous years in power reverting NZ to New Zimbabwe?
Or they as easily fooled as her voters and supporters?
No - clearly she is the poster person for the globalist " New World Order ." (Her role from the beginning - right to the4 moment of her stage-managed departure due to " no gas left in the tank").
Only NZ did not see this - and now does not like looking totally stupid about their naivety .
Never has the Football chant been more relevant - "what a waste of money".
Blavatnik school for Bolshevik's.
