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. ...

*drool* BOOBIES! Can I touch… don’t be silly, you know I will!
I have been censured, my pay docked and I have been spoken to. I have apologised and been put on the naughty step. It’s been taken care of.
You can stop whining now Lefties.
wow.. that was remarkably stupid JB. and entirely in keeping with your personality. did you learn this idiocy at home? or was it beaten into you out by the bike sheds?
Personal insults [check]
No evidence to counter my point [check]
I’m right again.
[lprent: is [checked] like pwned? You know how I dislike that… It is a fast way to attract my attention. ]
Right again? It’s been taken care of? Not even close, wanksie. The agreed unpaid holiday was for the GG incident. It’s the other stuff that’s going to do him in. Geddit, now?
You don’t speak on behalf of TVNZ. TVNZ have publicly said they’re not punishing him further.
Silly moderators puppet.
Not quite woken up yet, jb? The deal may have been done on the GG incident, but they have not yet begun the disciplinary process on the rest of his displays of bigotry. The GG one may well be now sorted, but the main complaint he will have to face will be dealt with soon enough. That will be ‘bringing TVNZ into disrepute’ and given the international furore, he’s not going top have much of a defence.
If you can find anything from TVNZ that specifically says that they are not going to punish him further, I’d love to see it. But that won’t happen, because you’ve either made it up, or you are referring to their comments about the GG insults. Have a coffee and think about it more carefully, there’s a good chap.
A tick (known as a check mark or check in American English) is a mark used to indicate the concept “yes”, for example “yes; this has been verified” or, “yes; that is the correct answer”

pathetic mate. stop digging
Also, JBanks, keep in mind two whole weeks from paul Henry’s salary. Oh the poor guy. How will he be able to feed himself? Maybe with the rest of his $200,000 salary paid to him by a publicly owned broadcaster which pays to him to spew his outrageous bigoted drivel.
I’m a Labour supporter these days – I voted 10 times.
weak….. very weak… but for you a pass mark. well above your normal effort.
Where’s Andi Brotherston when you need her?
Eww get your dikshit away from me!

Yuck. How could anyone bear to touch one of them!
Cack-handed attempt at a joke fell flat for knob-headed gypo.

To borrow from Jefferson Airplane (and given that he looks like he’s trying to squeeze out his one thought for the day):
Well I thunk and I thunk
Couldn’t think of anything better
I tried and I tried
Tryin’ ain’t doin’ me no good
Thinkin’ ain’t doin’ me no good

No, Paul, you just don’t get it. It’s not Dick Shit, it’s Deep Shit, and you’re wallowing in it.

And she had an [sprout: noun deleted] this big. How appropriate, because she’s an Indian.
That might have gone just a little too far
Agreed.
Sorry, was only trying to put my caption into the nasty space Paul Henry is in. Didn’t mean to offend.

‘Look, they still don’t get it! I’ve been doing my short-haired Ken Dodd impersonation for over ten years and they still think I’m a competent frontman for the news. I might have to whip out my tickle stick soon!’
…yet another TVNZ hospital pass well executed.
…..and as the talent and intelligence of populist, hatemongery-sustained despots declined, so too did “fiddling while Rome burned” give way to “Smile and Wave”: here a now-forgotten lackey attempts a final, desperate appeal to the media-driven racism of early 21st century NZ.
