Mayoral candidate slams council for ignoring boy racers

Mayoral candidate Byron Clark has criticised the Christchurch City Council
over their actions against street racers in the city.
“Every year we hear hollow promises of reactionary plans to crack down on
street racing,” Clark said. “In reality, bans and by-laws are
unenforceable and are unlikely to make the problem go away. There have
been hoons on our roads for many years.”

Mr Clark, who is a candidate for the Workers' Party, said the council
should be putting more effort into providing safe and affordable
facilities for motorsport.

He said: “Motorsport venues are prohibitively expensive to use, and are
mostly limited to organized motorsport events. The burnout pad at Ruapuna
was promising, but that's gone now.”

“The council should provide regular motorsport events which are attractive
and don't cost the earth.”

The Workers' Party is a socialist political party active throughout New
Zealand. They are fielding four mayoral candidates in the upcoming local
body elections.

Re: Mayoral candidate slams council for ignoring boy racers

The best way to resolve the problem is to allow everyone to be hoons and race on the streets. That's should be a fun city.

If you look at the Auckland race for mayor, there's a Communist Leaque rep in there. You would have noticed her in protests around Auckland, and I'm glad I have interviewed her in one of my videos.
Read her profile, I think she should make an excellent leader for the local council.

Boy/girl racers help cause global warming while making the selected few rich?

It's about time this childish and unhelpful behaviour of the boy/girl racers was stopped considering the environmental damaged that it does. Think of all of the burned fossil fuels that are being dumped into the Earth's atmosphere by the burning of rubber while only the selected few make megabucks from it.

(The oil and car companies CEOs must be rubbing their hands with glee from all of the money that is being spent by the boy/girl racers while the boy/girl racers are keeping themselves in poverty! I don't understand why some people are so silly to spent so much money on cars and hooning around while they live like trailer/urban trash in grotty housing.)

It'll be the younger gerneration that will live with the effects of global warming the longest. See www.climatecrisis.net for some proof.

Stop being brainwashed by the car industry and think of the damaged that it causes!
 

Re: Boy/girl racers help cause global warming while making the selected few rich?

Instead of wasting time in cars, trucks and vans start building dykes to protect the oceanside cities and towns from the rising ocean levels.
 

Re: Boy/girl racers help cause global warming while making the selected few rich?

Otautahi is build on a swamp so it will be the 1st to go under. Ha!
 

Re: Mayoral candidate slams council for ignoring boy racers

It looks like Byron Clark is trying to appeal to the younger people for their votes. Don't fall for his rhetoric. If he was a respondable person that cares about his community by looking out for the environment instead of his own selfish, self interest, gain for power then he wouldn't waste his time with these car racer fools.
 

Re: Mayoral candidate slams council for ignoring boy racers

I think these girl/boy racer or car lovers are putting their passions into the wrong thing. If they put it into the climate crises issue then it would not be so bad. But noooooo... instead they waste their time, money and energy, so a prilivaged few can make money while they mucking up their futures.
 

Re: Mayoral candidate slams council for ignoring boy racers

WAKE UP AND GROW UP!!! While you're driving in your cars making some rich, so they can live in mansions, you're dieing in urban sprawl in pollution!!!
 

Mayoral candidate sleazy or what?

Looks like this Bryon character and the Workers' Party are NOT as enlightened as they make themselves out to be.

GET LOST SLEAZY CREEPS!!!!!!!!!
 

Re: Mayoral candidate sleazy or what?

Who knows? Maybe the workers party have been brought out by the car industry.
 

Re: Mayoral candidate slams council for ignoring boy racers

Stop using cars, motorcycles, trucks, vans and having motorsports! In replace of use pushcycles and horses!
 

Re: Mayoral candidate slams council for ignoring boy racers

'Looks like this Bryon character and the Workers' Party are NOT as enlightened as they make themselves out to be.'

WPs position is that capitliasm is a fetter on the technologies that can free the working class and the environment. It's like a second step in enlightenment you might one day reach called revolutionary politics.
 

Re: Re: Mayoral candidate slams council for ignoring boy racers

What is the WPs environmental policies? Have they been ignored or is the WP so stupid to think that most votes wouldn't care about them?
 

Re: Mayoral candidate slams council for ignoring boy racers

boy racers, what a ignorant label to put on auto enthusiasts. Young or old everyone enjoys cars in someway, what's wrong with these guys blokes men having fun with cars? they don't contribute beans to pollution compared to 40 million sheep and 20 million dairy cows. Car fans don't make water undrinkable, dairy farmers do. wanna change for the better? get some hoof n mouth in there and whack the dairy industry, that would help land sea and air big time.
 

Re: Re: Mayoral candidate slams council for ignoring boy racers

What a pathetic attemp to justify wasting time, energy and money racing and loving cars! They do contribute a lot to climate change! Stop passing the buck to farmers that most people support by eating the meat that they produce! If people put their effort into solving the global warming problem instead of into their cars then it wouldn't be such a issue. LIVE IN THE REAL WORLD FOOLS!

Re: Mayoral candidate slams council for ignoring boy racers

Boy/girl racers/car enthusiasts are fuckwits!!!!! They put too much thought and emotion into their cars and not into important things like global warming, social justice for minority groups like the America Indians and animal rights!!!!!! These cunts deserve to be shot!!!!!!!!!!!
 

Re: Re: Mayoral candidate slams council for ignoring boy racers

Byron and the WP are only good for cocksucking these losers while getting it up the arse from them. The whole lot are a sad bunch of shitheads.
 

Re: Mayoral candidate slams council for ignoring boy racers

ANONYMOUS SAYS: " Boy/girl racers/car enthusiasts are fuckwits!!!!! They put too much thought and emotion into their cars and not into important things like global warming, social justice for minority groups like the America Indians and animal rights!!!!!! These cunts deserve to be shot!!!!!!!!!!!"

In a nutshell this is the logic of most of the other like-minded posts.

Not much different than the logic contained in the email being sent around by CHCH cops urging other cops to kill all psychologically disturbed workers who threaten them with knives.

Both statements seek to blame the victim of a society that results in the the behaviour that is disapproved of.

Anonymous (who obviously buys necklaces and coffee at Trade Aid, and free-range, organic eggs at countdown to show their support for starving Africans, south american indians and chooks) seeks to blame "Boy (and presumabley girl) racers" for succumbing to the omnipresent bourgie media and getting caught up in the whole car thang.

It is no wonder the world is so fucked says Anonymous - it is all the racers fault....! Better kill those cunts!

The cops advocating killing psychologically disturbed workers think the same way: who gives a rats arse why some overstressed, alienated (unemployed)_worker goes off their nut and attacks some private property (car) with a hammer - shoot the fucker!

Both responces are a testament to the social alienation of the person making the statement.

Anonymous is socially powerless. Their views count for shit. Chooks and american indians?? No-one is listening to your feelgood fantasies numnut. And because you secretly know your irrelevance you totally loose it and lash out - strangely, not at the system - but at whichever victim of capitalism happens to get in their way.
After all if you pick an easy target - maybe someone will be on your side.

Divide and rule. The brits invented it to keep their empire afloat. Imperialists have found it useful ever since.
It's a pity workers buy into their logic so uncritically.

The cops too are powerless/ as individuals they see the depravity of this system first hand - the killings, the violence. But as individuals they are powerless to effect social change. However as part of the repressive apparatus they ARE the power. And power corrupts.
Well they rationalise: we can't change the world - but perhaps they'll blow away some objectionable elements in the meantime - eh?

Whatever the rationale - neither party wants to change society - having given up in favour of compelling others to accept their world view. Or face the (lethal) consequences.

Perhaps its just as well for the rest of us car owners that society doesn't licence "anonymous " to carry a pistol as well.

Workers Party has their faults, and their press statement contains not a few of them. But politics and the struggle to change reality starts from understanding reality, and the concerns of every worker, workers son & daughter and then moving forward.
Anonymous seems to think that delivering ultimatums and shooting all those who don"t agree with them is a better scenario.

But then, how does that differ from what we've got already?

Re: Re: Mayoral candidate slams council for ignoring boy racers

What a lot of drival!! No wonder the Workers' Party has NOT the respect and support of the wider community if it supports the youth damaging the environment. They certainly do NOT get my vote!!
 

Re: Re: Re: Mayoral candidate slams council for ignoring boy racers

They don't have my confidence either.
 

Re: Re: Re: Re: Mayoral candidate slams council for ignoring boy racers

Me 2!
 

Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Mayoral candidate slams council for ignoring boy racers

I as well!!!
 

Re: Re: Re: Re: Mayoral candidate slams council for ignoring boy racers

I won't be voting for them as well.
 

Re: Re: Re: Mayoral candidate slams council for ignoring boy racers

Nah, I won't be voting for anyone or party that supports car racers either.
 

Re: Re: Mayoral candidate slams council for ignoring boy racers

What has the police shooting in Otautahi got to do with car racing? The person who wrote this must be schizophrenia to make the connection.
 

Re: Re: Re: Mayoral candidate slams council for ignoring boy racers

Shoop shoop diddy wop cumma cumma wangdang.

Schizophrenia rules here, huh?
 

Re: Re: Mayoral candidate slams council for ignoring boy racers

These twits didn't get my vote because they support car racing that dump untold amounts of pollution into the air that I breath.

LLAMA ALPACA MILITANT ALLIANCE (LAMA)
REVOLUTIONARY COMMUNIQUE #9287267

Comrades,

The central committee of the LAMA hereby announces its staunch opposition to the misnamed Workers Party and its reformist calls for a controlled form of carbon fuel based racing.

No true progress is possible for the toiling masses until the motorcar and other anti-camelid devices are abolished. In their stead we propose that all transportation be undertaken by llama chariots within a collectivised and democratic society. This is only possible once the sheep-human-industrial-capitalist hegemony has been overthrown. The popular masses should have no illusions in the paper tiger pandering of the WP to the forces of reactionary industrial capitalism and its evil devices!

LONG LIVE THE LAMA!
DEATH TO THE CAR!
OPPOSE THE WP MISLEADERS!
SUPPORT CAMEL TRAINS, NOT METAL TRAINS!
KELLY TO THE BACK OF THE BUS!
A LLAMA IN EVERY GARAGE!

#END#
 

Re: Mayoral candidate slams council for ignoring boy racers

Why would any party or person support people that causes this by racing their cars?

Re: Mayoral candidate slams council for ignoring boy racers

Anonymous responds to a post with : "The person who authored the above statement must be uneducated or really has lost the plot!"

...or perhaps anonymous just doesn't understand sarcasm or irony. So much for education.

PS anonymous, not only do I like chooks, I have them as pets.

Cheers.
VFTS
 

Re: Re: Mayoral candidate slams council for ignoring boy racers

Oh no, keeping chooks as pets? How aweful as these animals are suppose to be free range! I guess you'll have some animal rights activists chasing after you now to give you a jolly good spanking!

Cheers
Sarcastic and ironic circumstances :-)
 

Re: Re: Mayoral candidate slams council for ignoring boy racers

Interesting back tracking VFTS. It just shows that you are a drippy doorknob.
 

Re: Mayoral candidate slams council for ignoring boy racers

The Worker's Party isn't as noble as they make themselves out to be by supporting car racers to poison the air that I use.
 

Re: Mayoral candidate slams council for ignoring boy racers

Council already spent about $70,000 on a concrete pad ( !!) at ruapuna so these idjits could do this

This is MY air also and it really pisses me off that this is sanctioned here in NZ - what a pack of total MORONS these people are !
