New Zealand, 7 years ago: they are us. New Zealand, now: let’s invite a person that’s responsible for mass murdering of Muslims! Yay! Trade! Yay yay yay!

"The sort of flags on lampposts we can get behind! Activists from Take Back Power, a non-violent civil resistance group, took to the streets of Frinton-on-Sea in Nigel Farage’s constituency of Clacton to raise 'Tax the Rich' flags, while removing England flags and Union Jacks" via London Economic
