The Becroft Tapestry 

December 5, 2020

The Children’s Commission, headed by Andrew Becroft currently have a bizarre Public Service Announcement scroll on their home website. It’s something like a cross between an in-flight safety card and the Bayeux Tapestry. Instead of William the Conqueror killing the English and putting arrows into their King, Becroft’s tapestry illustrates the battle to overthrow poverty the way he foresees it. And, it’s hilarious!

In particular, the image (left) is worth describing. It reads…

POLICY

One of the best ways to reduce the number of tamariki in poverty is to raise whānau incomes by increasing benefits

This literally translates into saying that one of the best ways to help Maori out of poverty is to simply put them on welfare! A hand-out, not a help up. Typical Victimhood Culture solution, putting the helper at the centre and branding the subject a victim rather than facilitating their empowerment.

On further reflection, Andrew Becroft and his State agency probably don’t just mean Maoris at all. They live in ‘Aotearoa’ not New Zealand, and speak Politically Correct rather than English. So, by ‘tamariki’ and ‘whanau’ they may probably mean ‘children’ and ‘family’.

The Becroft Tapestry

Children’s Commissioner Becroft (who supports a separate childcare system for Maoris) has drawn a picture of how this war on poverty is supposed to go.

We have an idylic, styalised, scene of the Statist’s Headquarters: The Beehive. Atop, the Maori nationalist flag flies alongside New Zealand’s.

In the building’s doorway stand none other than Labour 6.0 Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern clasping hands with a Maori man. Extatic cherub children raise their arms in joy around the PM. To the side we have a happy Muslim woman and her child throwing Jacinda a wave while a disabled man in a wheelchair and a generic woman wave blank messages at the scene.

Away in the clouds on her own little Safe Space hexagon is a Maori woman. She’s waving a supportive sign happily that reads ‘big change’. Lowest of all and with his back to the scene is a white man holding up a happy/sleepy/docile picture of a face.

Around it all hover happy Buzzy Bees!

Surely the message of this little big of the graphic novel is clear. The Becroft Tapestry is telling us that Jacinda Ardern will defeat poverty to the acclaim of all minorities, without white men, by redistributing stolen money!

Tapestries.
