(Update: Apparently this has been cancelled. Now I’ll have to spend Sunday afternoon with my family instead of Richard Prosser. Not happy.)
Apparently this is a real thing. I guess the goal is to generate news footage of Prosser being abused by a room full of weird, scary looking hipsters, generating sympathy for him with New Zealand First’s constituents. If anyone can come up with a better reason why Richard Prosser is holding a public meeting in the Aro Community Hall I’d be happy to hear it.
Whatever the reason, this meeting is a golden opportunity to question Mr Prosser on other issues, such as whether he still thinks the South Island should secede from New Zealand, and if he still believes he possesses magical healing powers.
Well, Danyl, what are you planning to do with this “golden opportunity”?

I think he it’s going to embrace Islamic community by becoming a Muslim.

Just turn up with a suspiciously bulky vest on a warm day, and walk slowly towards him, muttering something foreign.

Call him a pussy for apologising and say it’s all just political correctness gone mad.

Walk toward him holding an opened pocket knife pointed at his eyes, but say you’re not a Muslim so he’s perfectly safe.

Tell him that even though your don’t look Muslim, as a pure bred Anglo-Saxon you feel obliged to dishonour his daughters of Celtic and Norse lineage, in honour of Tiw.

And for good measure, throw in some plastic cables, and a radio controller.

…weird, scary looking hipsters,
Last time I was in the Aro Valley was in the late 80s. Sounds like the mangy, ageing hippies of that time have been replaced with a more modern equivalent?
