No, just only use images that aren’t ridiculously stupid.

and oddly enough, despite previously being on the British payroll for years as a spy, they weren’t all that helpful when it came to dying time either

Adrian I’m reading about Mussolini. I know your question was rhetorical but this is the crucial move in his end – he wanted to leave the country and the Germans wouldn’t let him pass. The populace turned on him after that.

Oh good lord, where to start?

Nah, on reflection I think I’ll leave it. It’s perfect as it is.

Brilliant satire, Clint. Didn’t know you had it in you.

I was going to say you’re scraping the barrel but then realised what blog I am on.| This is commonplace, although Rogernomes comments are by far the most bizarre I have ever read about ACT.

“the Act Party is the party of big business, anti-socialist ideologues, just as the Nazi’s were (i.e. what kind of left wing party bans trade unions and enjoys backing from the country’s biggest industrialists)”

The National SOCIALISTS were another branch of socialism and very big on workers movements – Nurembergs rally was very similar to Comrade Stalins little soirees he’s hold in Red Square.

“”if Act did get their way, you would see full scale class war in NZ, which would mean the rise of a nasty, armed right wing force”"

ACT doesn’t believe in class war. The only people in Parliament now who believe in that Cold War rhetoric are in the Green Party. Funny that the so called “far right” in NZ are anti big business and racists – a quasi half Green/New Zealand first movement.

Keep up with the revisionist history Roger etc, and the years in opposition you so thoroughly deserve.

Don’t forget the doing a runner from home and setting up with Carla Petacci, several decades younger than Il Duce. Just don’t expect the Yellow Dog to get the trains to run on time. Remind me again, how did that all end?

You gotta admit if they ever made a Mussolili movie Wodders has the right looks to be a perfect casting for the role…I saw him a few years ago standing on a platform electioneering, his body language and clenched fists were immediately redolent of the Duce. Perfect fit for the camera. Now I admit that doesnt make him even close to being a fascist but hell, I will never forget that image. Wod, if it all turns to custard turn to actung.

cheers felix, appreciated.
in the spirit of John’s criticism of Rodney’s Disneyland tryst the text is a bit minimal.
so minimal in fact it’s limited to title and tags – again, a bit like John
