    Nice to see Bomber still running his mouth off implying that liking rugby makes you some sort of intellectually backwards idiot. Shame too, he’s got the build and attitude perfect for a tighthead prop.

  2. waterboy says:

    For a guy, liking rubgy and commenting on it like you know what your talking about without ever playing the game does make you an intellectually backward idiot.

  3. Bed Rater says:

    Yes, repeating the rantings of Bomber Bradbury is going to get mainstream New Zealand to side with The Labour Party.

    Well done.

  4. Dan says:

    Hey Waterboy, ten seasons, eight at lock and two in the front row. Gave it up because I couldn’t split time between it, University and work. But no, I have no idea what I’m talking about and am intellectually backwards. Keep up the assumptions though!

    That guy puts in a lot of work to average about 200 views a week.

    Talk about irrelevant. hell I get more views on some of my videos of random rubbish.

    Still – I guess any leftie in the news is a good publicity for the left – even someone like bomber.

    Man Laws went after the disabled? :-( :-( :-( :-( :-( !

    The five hottest women was a new low in NZ politics, offensive to chicks and treating the rest of us like we’re idiots! 8O Oh look at me, how about that chick’s ***? Yeah? How about our bleepin double dip recession! :evil: !

    :evil:

    Despite many requests, “Bomber” has not answered my repeated requests to explain why he chooses to call himself “Bomber”.

    Who or what does he bomb, and why?

    Does he think the threat of violence in his name adds some cachet?

    Hey Bomber: don’t retreat, releoad!

  8. Colonial Viper says:

    Billy – lolz – I guess you’re someone who thinks that Bomber Jackets are used by suicide terrorists

    Meh. Mainstream NZ already gets it in the pocket. This is reaching for new audiences :)

    Played League as a kid thanks Dan, I was pointing out the predictability of outrage from a soccer team winning in a rugby crazed country, to take that as some heresy against your religion suggests you need to get out more.

    Coming from someone with an acronym for red baiter, I would guess any thing to the right of Genghis Khan would be too left wing for you.

    Of course that’s just 200 hits on Youtube, that doesn’t include scoop.co.nz, the facebook site with a 1000 members, Tumeke or of course the broadcast on Sky 89, Freeview 21 and UHF. From March Stratos is moving to Freeview terrestrial so the entire country can watch it 10pm Tuesdays. Thank you so much for asking.

    The nickname Bomber was given to me by the second editor of the University Student Magazine i worked under when I first went to Uni nearly 18 years ago and it’s stuck ever since. You can call me Mr Bradbury if you like Billy.

    Don’t forget, from March 1st, the war on news plays 10pm Tuesday nights, Stratos Freeview 21 and Sky 89.

  11. Dan says:

    You’re very good at putting words in peoples’ mouths. Of course, by being a rugby fan, I am some sort of zealot, right? Anyway, more seriously, the issue was because they didn’t win anything, and the funny thing about that is it’s not a criteria for the Halbergs. Boiling it down to “rugby vs. everyone” is a little disingenuous, and you can’t overlook that the All Blacks had a pretty good season, as did our rowers and scores of other athletes. Perhaps I was listening to the wrong debate.

  12. bomber says:

    Perhaps you missed the word satire?

  13. lovinthatchangefeeling says:

    Mervyn, self-praise is no recommendation.
    Cf. L. laus in proprio ore sordescit, praise in one’s own mouth is offensive.
    In general it is a good rule that self-praise is no commendation.

    Meh. It seems Bradbury’s raison d’etre is the 9 minute falsetto shriek-fest on the net, propounding his scare mongering and conspiracy theory bullsh*t, which no-one watches. And now, courtesy of the taxpayer, he has a broom cupboard sized vanity project playing way out in the backblocks of community services telly. And no-one is watching that either.

  14. Gosman says:

    Satire is clever and usually funny, none of which applies to the stuff served up on ‘The war on news’.

    I’m curious if the Labour party would be so keen to promote the show if they knew Mr Bradbury has been using his publically funded television slots and his blog to promote the possibility of a new far left political party with Hone Harawira as a key member.

  15. Spud says:

    I like your show bomber! :-D

  16. Robbo says:

    Sorry, I haven’t watched the video clip as I’m on a fixed plan for internet access and I was told recently I make poor choices … need to watch what chews through my mB …

    But based on the comments above I think Dan has a serious case of blue b@lls

  17. Matthew says:

    He makes me embarrassed to be a New Zealander. I doubt anyone other than dole bludgers (I wonder if Bomber is one of them?) and Labour Party MP’s with nothing else to do watch it.

  18. Huginn says:

    @ Matthew
    ha ha ha ha!!!!!!!!

  19. bomber says:

    Lovingthatchange – so much effort for so few laughs, Stratos moves to the Freeview terrestrial platform in a weeks time so that all the country can rejoice in war on news. Keep 10pm Tuesday’s free.

    Gosh Gosman, you are as boring on this site as you are on Tumeke.

  20. Crashcart says:

    I don’t agree with every thing Bomber says. You would have to be a stupid fan boy to do so. The fact that matthew then comes on and throws around the bludger title shows how he is the kind of person who just swallows what the right feed him and has no interest into looking into the facts. As long as there are people like him we could have the entire country on fire and Key holding the match and he would still get votes.

  21. Bed Rater says:

    Bomber, It’s not supposed to be a handle to show solidarity with Mr Red, but never mind.

    Also, what happened to the Hell sponsorship of the WoN? I thought it was pretty funny your show had a sponsor that you were picketing a year ago.

    18 years ago? That would make you 40 something nearly. Goes to show not all left leaning idealists are young students, (and minto)

  22. Matthew says:

    @Crashcart No I make my own opinion. Sorry to break it to you.

    I’ve been more of a centralist in the past but I dont like the way the Left are going. The more study in my own time about some right winged policies the more I like them and open up to them. Such as opening up ACC to competition in all sectors.
    Dont sell ACC but give people the freedom to choose to get off waiting lists and into a more efficient system. Instead of taxing at the pump tax them on the income so people aren’t double charged.
    Gives the best of both worlds does it not?

  23. Jeremy M Harris says:

    Clare are you really going to link to this tripe every week..?

    If so, you should at least post out tin foil hats…

  24. Huginn says:

    Clare! don’t stop!!!!
    This post is getting funnier all the time. All those angry little trolls – so serious – so ridiculous – so easy to wind up – ha ha ha ha !!!!!

  25. ianmac says:

    Angry contempt from the righties out in force? Wonder why? Must be ringing a few bells there folks.
    Notice that none responded to any of the issues like the battle against beneficiaries including using extremes to pad the case for cuts? I thought that questions might be asked about how the beneficiaries were outed anyway? Thought that was private?
    Keep up the enthusiasm and the point-making Bomber Bradbury – but duck the snipers!

  26. Jeremy M Harris says:

    ianmac, no one from the right responds to his points because anyone with half a brain can only take about 36 secs of raving nonsense before we hurriedly mash the “back page” tab…

  27. lovinthatchangefeeling says:

    Ouch Marvyn, that retort hurt. But at least you thought it was funny. Well best you scuttle back now and defend yourself against Trotter who is giving you a mighty slap down (via Cam Slater’s ‘bomber-v-trotter’) That’s only if you are brave enough

    Now that is where the REAL laughs are at!
