   Hopefully many like Latta take up the cause as it leaves a clear path for JA whilst nats social media handlers get to deal with the BS they keep spreading.

   Consider the possibility this is where influencers like Thiel is looking after the folk who granted him his bolthole and citizenship. So much experience and resources for the right.

     The Nats have 30 social media staff just in Bridges' office, let alone the rest. How many do we think the govt parties have?

   Bridges just got taken to the drycleaners by Nigel Latta and when national get beaten they quickly revert to 'he's from the left' rhetoric why because if we dig deep enough all nationals bullshit starts to rise like rubbish @ the rubbish tip

   We need more of this. Multiple credible people assertively challenging national on their bullshit. Labour seems to miss doing this. That’s not a criticism of them. They seem to be trying to focus and take responsibility for what they are achieving. That’s admirable. But they are in danger of letting nationals lies and spin win the argument

   NZ First namely uncle Winstone will challenge national at the next election he will remind them of the 9 years they had to implement policy and didn't do it instead they made the rich richer and the poorer even poorer.

   I have doubts that Bridges even writes his own tweets.

   They seem far too advanced for his intellect.

     He has 30 social media staff. Most of them will be tending Facecloth rather than Twitter but damn straight he would have virtually no hands-on involvement in either platform. Bridges does what he's told like a good lad.

   I saw a similar bit of hypocritical dribble from John someone or another (a great supporter of right and the right to gossip with false facts – some kind of useless journalist from memory) the other night.

   He 'suddenly' realised that Jacinda was president of the international socialist youth during the first two years as an MP. He raised this as disturbing fact – in the usual parrot Farrar style.

   He appeared to get upset and very unwilling to talk about the equivalent position that John Key had in being the chair of an equivalent international conservative organisation in his last couple of years of being our PM.

   Of course it could have been my delivery where I made it clear that I thought his omission, presentation and raising of it was because he was a useless journo, frequently a purveyor of false facts, and was just being a arsehole snake in the grass in this case. It was about as stupid an act as Simon Bridges Twitter usually is.

   Basically if people want to act like arseholes on the Net – then as far as I am concerned, I can't be bothered being as polite as Latta. If they then try to then play the "I'm a victim card" (as SBT did above) then I'll just treat them as I would for Cameron Slater – a gutless wonder who always went that route as well.

   Latta used to deal with recalcitrant children so him engaging with Bridges is good.

    Bridges isn't really debating the issue he's just using standard right wing tactics and, playing on ordinary people's fears about losing their jobs and livelihoods. Things like government spending and immigration play directly into these fears.

    The left just have to take it slowly with their changes as people aren't ready. It would take a big global crisis to really wake people up and make them change. We just better hope it's not too late.

    Simon Bridges is resorting to that stupid habit of trying to achieve some sense of 'upmanship' over someone who is more intelligent than Bridges can ever deem himself as being.

    In other words Bridges is behaving like a stupid Village Idiot who thinks a 'tit for tat' response will result in a lowly NZ voter voting for him(Bridges)at election time.

    I am so over Simon Bridges. He is a major turn off for me and perhaps many thousands of other voters at the next election.

    His(Bridges) 'justifications' for behaving like a Village Idiot all because he thinks he looks(and awfully enough sounds)good just doesn't do anything to me. I have switched off listening to him or reading any of the NZ National Party articles, adverts(even those probably funded by the wealthy Asian donators to the NZ National Party bank account(s))in the Mouthpiece of the NZ National Party tabloid NZ Herald.

    In fact every time a National Party MP appears on the telly I reach for the remote control and the Mute button. Thankgoodness someone invented the remote control because it now makes a National MP look like a bloated gold-fish puffing away and looking as stupid as their dearest leader that is the Village Idiot(aka Simon Bridges).

    Prediction:-Simon Bridges leads the only Right Wing party in the world that will *not win* the NZ 2020 election despite using Topham Guerin (TG) for a social media campaign! As good as TG are I think they cant do much to save this one.

    There has never been a successful socialist government anywhere, ever. What makes the "left" think it is achieveble in New Zealand – ever?
