The current rise of populism challenges the way we think about people’s relationship to the economy.We seem to be entering an era of populism, in which leadership in a democracy is based on preferences of the population which do not seem entirely rational nor serving their longer interests. ...

That’s a nice computer… Can I sell it?
Hey creepy space invader guy, I said no on FB….
“You make me completely forget about Aroha…”
lol
Key is fair game, using members of the public and especially kids in this way is most definitely out of order.
Go fuck yourself, HS. If Key wants to do photo ops with members of the public, those photos can be mocked. PR isn’t a one way street.
How about if it was your daughter Dean, would you be OK with her photo being posted on a political blog and used in this way ?
Oh please.
If the objective of the caption competition was to belittle the student in the photo, you might almost have a point (depending on what constitutes ethically reasonable or fair use of photos already in the public eye). But she’s not. Key is.
It’s no different from people laughing during the campaign when Key picked up a sweet looking baby that immediately burst into tears when he touched it.
But your delicate sensibilities have been noted.
Well yeah, If a creepy old guy was hanging over my daughter like that I would like to be able to us it to warn other parents.
Where do you think the picture came from? Secret Standard photographers?
Besides, no-one’s denigrating the girl.
I have no idea where the photo came from and I’ll pose the same question to you as I did to Dean.
How about if it was your daughter, would you be OK with her photo being posted on a political blog and used in this way ?
Is she the object of ridicule? If not, then probably yes.
New caption, after HS: “Hey, you slippery piece of Tory filth! How dare you exploit me for votes? Do you want a smack in the mouth?”
It’s one of John Key’s own cover photos on his Facebook page

[lprent: Definitely a comment well over the edge. ‘Robust’ does not mean that you have can just rave. Read the policy and you have just had your warning. ]
Jesus wept.
Clean up in aisle three mods.
…but I’m sure you agree with me…
Oh you are joking. I don’t use farce book my self but this as a cover photo . It’s a warning. Dirty old man lives here. Danger Little Girl Danger. (shades of lost in space)
It looks like a a case of “go away creepy old man, my mum told me never to talk to strangers” Help! Help!! HELLLLLLPPPPPP!!!!!!!!!
“Hey I can’t find my iPad – can I see your copy of Boag’s email? Just need to check something.”
This is a private conversation do you know what a private conversation is?
Did you leak the Boag email?
“Hai, mai name is Jhon.
Can I has a look at ur interwebs?”
Why is your nose growing…..
you are even creepier for real than on telly and take your hand out of the pocket as mummy and daddy warned me about strangers and the promises they make.
So, how much you love my National standards?
… LOL, about as much as you’re in need of the literacy standard?
What the hell is your problem?
“…and as soon as I finish school I am moving to Australia, because there aren’t any jobs here.”
Key
Have you heard of the control card which will be issused to every 16 – 18 year old who Work and Income have to support because they are unemployed?
Teenager
Prime Minister, what are you doing for teenagers to help them find employment?
Key
Well there is a recession and the Christchurch earthquakes are keeping us busy.
Teenager
Don’t blame youth when they can’t find employment as they do not run the country.
“You can be Miss New Zealand just like me when you grow up!”
“Repeat after me: Panache!”
“Have you thought about enrolling in a charter school?”
“I see you are looking at the Standard. Man do those guys have a boner for me”
“and looking at your log in you are…Felix, nice to put a face to the name”
Hey, do you specialise in screening out leaked emails?
Watchdog and NetNanny can’t help you once the creepy guy is actually in the room

Eeeek! There’s a dead rat on your head!
“Feel my greenstone suit, doesn’t it make you go all tingly inside? Ooooooh, I love it, it makes me want to mince all over again”!
Hi little girl – I am the man who is hell bent on wrecking public education in New Zealand. And by the way isn’t your teacher lazy and useless!
I am working to make our unequal society even more unequal. Unless you’re special (Academic ability, Workability) you’ll have to get along on just smiles in the future. I don’t believe in sharing our rich land’s wealth with non performers! So be a performer! Like me get in on a Ponzi scheme and get out with 50,000,000 before TSHTF.
Hey, can we go on a tour of your neighbourhood? I’m pretty sure YOU won’t emigrate to Australia before the next election…
‘How much for zee leetle girl”?
Crikey, Darren, you look a whole lot different after your holiday in Thailand………………….
Fuck off John, can’t you see I’m busy?
Nice computer girly, make it last because Ive sold your future.
“Do you use apple shampoo?”
“Yeah! Those nice people at Huawei can spy on everything you do even faster now little girl.”
“I’m on Bebo too, you know”
“He, he, he, – that’s what I like about these school girls; I get older, they stay the same age.”
(Doubtful) higherstandard……
I’ll take you seriously when you copy me your letter to Key castigating him for his cynical stunt a few years ago when either or he or one his underlings publicly depicted a certain poor Auckland street as the utter pits, then prevailed on the parents of a 7 or 8 year old girl living in that street to let her accompany him to Waitangi I think it was.
A photo op that lasted a whole day. Bloody creepy actually that he would use that kid in that way.
Anyway……..”Who’re you sending that email to little girl……..?
Schoolgirl Prank Goes Awry.
“I thought I’d try out our Science classroom’s new 3D printer”, said a shocked student.
“But when my friends dared me to try Printing “parasite”, well, the result was worse than anyone could have imagined”.
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/3D_printing)
Don’t bother smiling at me Mr Assassin, I can see you reaching for your weapon, just smile at the web camera you fuckwit.
Did you leak the email?
– “Don’t be afraid. I know the smile is creepy but I just can’t get it to stop”
– “Can you go to my facebook page and like me? Like me lots?”
– “Back off mister, you’re starting to freak me out”
– Child makes online report of stalker
– “I’ve got candy”
“We’re hoping if we get your arms accustomed to this horribly unergonomic position from an early age, we’ll save millions on ACC costs in the future.”
NATS CYBER-SCANDAL SPREADS: another “brain-damaged puller” spotted in school
You have… beautiful eyes
No, that’s untrue; all Tories aren’t on the sex offenders register little girl… some of us still haven’t been caught yet.
Googlemaps, eh?
Look up “McGehan Close”.
“…oh, researching leprechauns are you? Some people have an angel on their shoulder that keeps them honest, but I have a boy who I feed pies and wine gums…”
“Want to be in my party promotional video little girl? I promise not to close your school down.”
How would you like to send an email to the Herald?
“Excuse me while I whip this out.”
[Reaches into waistline as crowd gasps and screams.]
(With apologies to “Blazing Saddles.”)
Mr Key, are you sure we can get rid of this crap teacher and get one that gives a shit about what we learn rather than only telling us how fabulous the Labour party are ?
OK, you have navigated to the school payroll details, now click the “send to public” button – It’s OK I’m the PM and by definition I can’t leak so go for it.
Schoolgirl gets fingers ready to eye-gouge fugitive wanted in connection with a string of SOE thefts.
Would you like to see my poll results little girl?
