BM has complained about the cost of transportation of the said waka to London but has apparently not noticed that it was a museum in Holland who commissioned the waka in the first place.

Never let facts get in the way of a rant!

Most of us are at least in the smallest way racist to one or two cultures within the country, and the fact that the two native languages are English and Te Reo, and nobody really knows Te Reo fluently . . *facepalm*
