Thank God we are far removed from ISIL who'd take us in 20 minutes today - going by are childish antics over Prime Minister John Key's ponytail, which demonstrates our lack of spine.

Here we are, a country that produces the greatest rugby teams the world will ever see, Pickering, Hillary, Rutherford, Pearce, Upham, Lamason and Park and so on and we stupidly, insanely and childishly forget our greatness. We have trendy lefty media over-reporting about a ponytail being pulled which we are being consumed by.

Come on NZ for God's sake grow up and get real, get a life. Don't you all know what was being celebrated last weekend on April 25, 2015?

A Bourne, Bethlehem.
