This is an empirical and appalling measure of how far victims have to go for accountability from the senior ranks of the police, it is literally now evidenced that you need an 'I'LL DO TIME' online-harassment-case level of vengeance-seeking. It shouldn't be like this.
They prosecuted the woman who made complaints against him. #nzpol

CHURCHILL:

7
HITLER:
Let me finish - what we are proposing eez a simple power-sharing arrangement -

Whanau, I did it. Unbelievably, I was born between 1968 and 2004. I couldn’t be sure I’d had 2 measles vaccinations (I definitely had one, it’s in my plunket book).
So, I had an MMR booster last week. If you, like me, aren’t sure, go and get one. They’re free and you can book via bookmyvaccine.

I think one way to understand what is happening in modern politics is that social media has taken groupthink dynamics that previously applied to dozens or hundreds of people, and scaled them up to millions

Decided to learn to pick locks. Easier than I thought. Bored at a hotel, I picked my way into a storeroom in the middle of the night, full of dusty chairs. Wasn't really worth getting police called and kicked out of the hotel at 3am.

Sure sure, when the only tool you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail.
But when you have a water blaster, you realize everything needs a clean:
✅ Clean the deck
✅ Blast the driveway
✅ Scour the patio
✅ Wash the dog
✅ Sheets? Pffft, easy
✅ Cold shower
SO MUCH POWER
