that have been asked to leave by the government, I think a movie could be made about these people
A British family have somehow made themselves public enemy number one in New Zealand, after journeying to the North Island of the country and almost immediately making headlines. And not for good reasons.
in an interview with the New Zealand Herald, the man at the centre of the group who said his name was John Johnson told a different story, claiming his grandfather was the 10th richest man in England and that they were the real victims in all of this.
Johnson said he was just "a fat kid from England on holiday" who was now being forced to go home early because "the New Zealand people are treating my family like shit".
"We're here to see the Hobbits," he said. "I've been looking at the Hobbits my whole life, since I'm born, that was originally what our plans was but it's all been fucked up now. I feel very unwelcome here. I feel like an alien invader, I don't feel happy and I'm far from Irish.[link:https://www.buzzfeed.com/bradesposito/british-family-new-zealand-tourism?origin=thum|
