Comments on: Key’s uranium mining interests http://thestandard.org.nz/keys-uranium-mining-interests/ The New Zealand labour movement used to have its own newspaper.

No wonder a person like Key is so popular! How many people see him without the slightest discernment? We only have Key's own word on this matter. Who else is there to testify? This is a very devious man, with all that "winning" charm, "smooth"", acting the typical N.Z. bloke, the sickly smile. Eventually I hope that Kiwis will see through it all. I note that the Uranium shares are going up and up, and I can find nothing to say that the shares have been sold. Key promised that they would parted with on Tuesday or Wednesday. This is Friday. Let us hope that he is not being "sloppy" yet again! No, that word I would not choose; I would use words like "outrageous", "disgraceful" and to repeat, "deviant". Key would like us to forget this incident as he gets on with some wicked mining of his own. Let us be sure not to forget. I am shaken by the number of comments that are so stupid.

If I'd wanted to be nasty I would have questioned his sexuality, linked him to the holocaust, mocked his orthodontological impairment, and smeared his spouse. Pop over to the sewer if you want clear examples of how its done.

Why put in a dig about his height and weight? If someone on the right right made fun of Marion Hobb's weight or mole on her face, you guys would be screaming how digusting. What does Key's weight or height have to do with anything?? He also became Prime Minister ansd made himself 50 Million dollars before that.

Why put in a dig about his height and weight?
