    Today I read, "Once you've been convicted of a crime beyond reasonable doubt, you are the murderer," National Party leader Simon Bridges told media in Auckland on Tuesday.

    Today I also read, "Judge exonerates three men in 1983 ‘Georgetown jacket’ school killing" and read the article.

    It proves that Simon Bridges is a dirty, scumbag political opportunist with no ethics or scruples past trying to get votes. Those thick enough to vote for this apology of a human being deserve him to be their leader. Ordinary people with any intelligence at all and any sense of what is right need to speak out about the cretin.

    We now have a two tiered health system, and it's failing.

    Time to stop insurance being involved in health care.

    Time to have one health system, one health system which works for everyone.

      we'd need to fix the public health system substantially. One of the reasons why insurance is a thing is because of decades of underfunding of the public system.

    Well done the protestors on OMV's henchboat. Fifty six hours of occupation.

      A decent amount of MSM coverage too. Police had to build scaffolding to get to the protestors to arrest them.

    Simon's brain fart.

    Lets start a new gang called the Raptors to target, interrupt and harass other gangs like this nasty mob.

    Link to interview with scientist Dave Lowe "climate pioneer" on RNZ yesterday. He makes it very clear how we know the present-day climate change is the result of burning fossil fuels etc. i.e anthropogenic.

    Brexit: https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2019/nov/25/johnson-sowing-seeds-of-biggest-brexit-crisis-yet-warns-sir-ivan-rogers

    Boris Johnson is sowing the seeds of “the biggest crisis of Brexit to date”, Britain’s former envoy to the EU Sir Ivan Rogers has said in a scathing verdict on the government’s “diplomatic amateurism”….dressed up domestically as boldness and decisiveness.”…

    “Because we are under time pressure and known to be desperate to ‘escape vassalage’ by the end of 2020 … the EU side just sees a huge open goal opportunity and repeats its playbook from the article 50 process,” Rogers added….

    Rogers, who held senior roles in No 10, the Treasury and the European commission, skewered claims made by Johnson and frontline cabinet ministers such as the chancellor, Sajid Javid, that trade talks with the EU would be fairly simple because both sides are starting from a position of regulatory alignment.

    Bridges imitating the various clown-fascists in power around the world with his law and order announcement – but unconvincingly. In his case the clown overpowers the fascist. More Trump than Duterte or Bolsonaro or Juan Guaido. Could Collins or Mark Mitchell get the balance right? There is certainly hay to be made on the gang issue.
