The GOP…home of 'Fake News'

Abortion, Donald Trump, GOP, Planned Parenthood, politics, USABy Pat BrittendenJuly 19, 2017

You've got to know when to hold'em

Family, Idoya Munn, Marriage, My LifeBy Pat BrittendenJune 23, 2017

So you have probably read my post from the weekend about Idoya’s coming out and the family’s response to it so far. Thank you for all the support, kind words and connection. Even if I haven’t come back to you personally I want you to know it is very much appreciated and not taken for…

We're coming out

Idoya Munn, LGBTI, Marriage, My LifeBy Pat BrittendenJune 18, 20175 Comments

As it is plainly obvious I have been very quiet on here for the past six or seven months. There are lots of reasons for this, but the main one is that there has been something going on in my personal life, and to be honest, writing pithy pieces about politics, religion or pop culture…

#RHOAKL, Bravo, Julia Sloane, Michelle BlanchardBy Pat BrittendenSeptember 21, 2016

By now most New Zealanders will have heard about the claims of racism on the ridiculously named, and tragically awful ‘Real’ Housewives of Auckland. even if you have no idea what this ‘show’ is, you’ll had heard murmurings over the last week about the fallout between Julia and Michelle. If you haven’t, long story short,…

Please don't make me side with the rednecks

Dunedin, Lizzie Marvelly, Nikolas Delegat, NZ Herald, PrisonsBy Pat BrittendenSeptember 18, 2016

There was an opinion piece that I saw in my timeline today by NZHerald columnist Lizzie Marvelly about the disgusting case of Nikolas Delegat assaulting a female officer in Dunedin and receiving 300 hours of community service and paying $5,000 in reparations as his punishment. Let me state this from the outset, I think the…

9/11 The Definitive Interview

9/11, Gene Coreley, MIchael Berger, New York, Twin TowersBy Pat BrittendenSeptember 12, 2016

As crazy as it sounds it has been 15 years since I was sitting in the More FM Auckland studio at just before 1am when calls started to come in about planes crashing into buildings in New York. The next 24 hours is history and the subsequent years have fuelled debates about what actually happened.…

Colin Kaepernick. A true Patriot.

BLM, Colin Caepernick, Freedom of Expression, Freedom of Speech, NFL, Star Spangled BannerBy Pat BrittendenAugust 31, 2016

The freedom of expression and free speech are just two of the cornerstones on which America builds it society. Often we will hear commentators on the television telling the world one of the reasons America is ‘the greatest country in the world’ is because of their ‘freedoms’. It would seem from the events of the…

Sexist, homophobic, racist…but that's what we want in our sports commentators isn't it?

Martin Devlin, NZME, Radio Sport, Radiosport, SexismBy Pat BrittendenAugust 30, 2016

Let me put my cards on the table. I like Martin Devlin, in fact if I am out and about between 9am and midday he is my choice to listen to on 693am in Dunedin. I think he is a amazing broadcaster and a nice guy but his rant yesterday to an abusive texter demonstrated…
