On Afternoons with Mora today – Graham Bell and Josie Pagani on the Maori king declining a 90 minute meeting with William, Kate and George. Following a quick puke, I paraphrase:

‘When will ‘the’ maori learn for God’s Sake ? (Bell, Pagani)

Here they have a marvellous photo-op and they crudely turn up their noses (Pagani)

‘The’ maori have got to get with the times – we’ve all sat through those maori speeches yawn (Bell)

‘The’ maori would be soooooo globally advantaged if photographed with the royal guests (Pagani)

When will ‘the’ maori learn for God’s Sake ? Tut Tut Tut …….Tut Tut Tut !” (Bell, Pagani)

“Fuck up you patronising, (subliminally at the very least) racist pricks !” (North – verbatim)
Apologies to Morrissey for this sow’s ear against his usual silk purse.

  Bell has made some atrocious racial remarks against maori before…what the fuck is he still doing on RNZ. I have written to RNZ complaining but received nothing back.

  I missed the programme, North, except for about two minutes at the end. It sounds horrific. You have done a fine job of transcribing the essence of their comments, by the way.

  Be warned, however, that there are witless cyber-trolls patrolling this board, itching to point out the most trivial error and pretend that it’s all “delusional crap” (McFlock) or that you are “making shit up” (Te Reo Putake).

  What they really mean, of course, is: I resent something you wrote three years ago, and I’m going to discredit you, dang-nab it!

  Welcome to the world of Transcription, buddy.
