Yes absolutely, just about changing the flag; never about Key's flagging ego and definitely NOT about distracting everyone from the TPPA chaos, either.
Indeed, but "small" is also interesting. I wonder he means by "a small settlement". What's small in his bankster eyes? Half a million? one and a half ...?
Don't fall into their trap and exacerbate confusion. Added refined sugar is the problem.
Stop, stop! You're making yourself look utterly ridiculous! Catch up with the news!
You should be ashamed for taking the media's interpretation of anything - especially anything related to Labour - at face value. Think a bit harder, eh?
Everyone I know (all pretty much struggling to get by one way or another) who I talk to about UBI is really enthusiastic about it. I definitely think 'the people' are/will be strongly behind it.
Has anyone mentioned the huge amount of $$ saved by ridding ourselves of all the admin costs associated with calculating and policing all the various benefits? - and of managing the consequences of the poverty and stress that would be dramatically ...
UBI is being trialled in several other places at the moment - we should check out how are they doing it and how it's going, to help hone details. I think Canada is the latest to jump in:- http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/ontario-to-pilot-a-...

.... and also ridiculous when you examine how the 'right' and 'left' compare when it comes the advancement of women! Wake up, Ad, you'll get left behind.
No no- in your own words, please. How do YOU define it?
Mr Hooton - how do you define "employment"?
It's much more than just notes and videos of lectures - ALL of these courses allow for feedback of some kind, often extremely interesting feedback too, and there are thousands of students from all over the world - and many of the qualifications count as ...
Sounds like you've never done an online course. All this is covered in the best of them, including assessments and recognised qualifications. Offered by the likes of MIT, Harvard, Yale etc as well as Coursera, edx & co. Can work hand in hand with ...
Has anyone mentioned that "education" is being turned on its head, considerably cheapened, AND vastly improved, by online learning. "Disruption" is the word I believe. This is changing everything for the better.
Oh get a part time job, for heaven's sake.
Hey CV - have you been looking the other way while education has been moving online? Another area of our lives being "disrupted", and getting cheaper and cheaper. Don't be like the guy who predicted that the size of New York would be limited by the amount ...
It might annoy current students, yes, but they'll all have friends and family who WILL benefit; and they can also get some comfort from knowing they won't have to fork out for THEIR children.
"Come on Hooton: You love John Key. You hate John Key. But someone else hating John Key is contemptible. Make up your mind." Sounds like love to me.
Tony Blair.
Um ... the by election in Oldham that Labour has conclusively won just now has increased Labour's share vote by 7.5%ish while the Tories' has gone DOWN 10%. Perhaps that goose was just his celebration dinner? (And the speech? Well, as John McDonnell said -...
The report says the journalists "have assembled a legal team to work on a challenge to the way employment process was conducted," - i.e. their goal is simply to force TV3 to obey employment law, rather than to make a "last ditch effort" to save "a humble ...
Well, they might, too. But I don't understand why no one seems to want to give them time to read the damn thing properly first! Let alone consider all the various expert analyses and work out detailed responses. Patience!
Haha! "Nothing demonstrating an understanding of or commitment to the principles of social justice." ? Still got both feet in your mouth, Mike? Admit you were impressed!
The power scenario is changing rapidly at the moment, with massive take up of solar, etc. Revisiting it regularly is essential - maybe this is something being chewed over with the Greens. Patience, you old moaner.
I still don't get it - why isn't he allowed to favour keeping the OK bits in the TPP, and reject, or demand renegotiation of, the bad bits, as he's saying? True, the latter would probably amount to ditching the whole thing; but in the meantime, isn't that ...
So, Freemark - when YOU care about stuff, you're allowed to be angry? Only Andrew Little isn't?
Agree. One person's 'internal squabbling" is another person's fertile debate. Which I would personally prefer to a party of internally over-disciplined yes-men.
Next time he's asked "Do you accept the TPP, yes or no?", he should say "Neither. Now would you like me to explain that? Yes or no?" Especially if it's that numbnuts Gower.
PN is a good idea. Reasonable for most of lower NI , and any Sth Islanders who can make it to Wgtn can do the hop to PN too. That's most of the country.
Shouldn't they be allowed enough time to read the actual document before "taking a position" on the TPPA?
