Putting the colonised in their place

Phil Goff, Minister of Wine and Cheese, UK has held a soiree overnight at NZ House, making the following comment.

no one in the room had experienced a coronation before

This predictably has upset a few supporters of the Huntly truck driver who took it upon themselves to insert themselves quite vocally into proceedings.  And Pakeha Phil delivered the line with his back facing the self-styled king from Huntly.  On top of that the supporters were even more miffed that fearless Phil forgot to include the mandatory pre-proceeding wailing.

Such is the life of those colonised almost 200 years ago by the world's greatest empire in far-off lands.
