Man, this brighter future sure is sweet. In just four short years, all the country’s problems are solved and the Prime Minister has literally nothing left to do. For a lark, he spends his time playing DJ. Oh… wait.
There’s a #DJJohnKey hashtag on Twitter. The Greens inviting suggested songs for Key to play. Pretty funny suggestions coming through.
When Radiolive – whose parent company was bailed out by the Banks-Key government – last gave him an hour to DJ, the Electoral Commission said it broke the law.
The Police failed to prosecute, of course. “Lack of evidence”. Disturbingly similar line of reasoning to their failure to prosecute John Banks.
I wonder if DJ Key will take calls on the topic of why ministers and Prime Ministers are above the law in this brighter future.
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. ...

Last time he said he couldn’t discuss politics, because of the election.
This time there is no election, so he can discuss politics. So can his callers.
Therefore, he won’t be taking any calls.
lolololol
It’s funny because it’s true. Key did a talkback radio show today where the public were not allowed to call in and talk back.
Radio. It’s a dinimic unvirament.

Nothing to say, nothing to hide!
So let us get down to business!
Fair enough, so you think, by expressing your preferences for some past music, you have got it sorted re what the future will hold? I think you STINK and are IDIOTS!
Wake up and get to learn tha t you will likely face the hard line of survival soon.
Eating where uless ou have a place to go, sleeping where you feel there is a chnace to, do you have food, kids and orth? Realise the challenge!
If you don’t understand social spirit, the importance of informal community networking and the classic means of keeping up personal and group morale, and want to relate in a way which alienates everyone nearby, then you’re the one who is fucked in the times ahead. Not us.
That comes across like the smug rant of a wealthy prick who thinks cos he’s got his bunker and provisions sorted he won’t need anybody else to survive, and anyway they’re just idiots who stink. Like CV points out there is safety in numbers and getting along with the community will be important.
“That comes across like the smug rant of a wealthy prick who thinks cos he’s got his bunker and provisions sorted he won’t need anybody else to survive”
Ha, I have never been rich, am rather at the bottom of the ladder re income or owning anything, so snub your nose at someone else! I am just trying to create a bit of “shaking” and “shocking”, so that maybe some wake up.
Many posting here are in secure jubs and just “armchair socialist”, choosing to indulge in a bit of pasttime discussion about topics, but in many cases I suspect are “too busy” anyway to go to any protest or picket.
I an not interested in “getting on” with a community that is somewhat ignorant and pre occupied with petty matters. Then I’d rather be a lone fighter.
Anyway, enjoy the rest of your day and night.
Anyway, apologies for my “rant”, I sometimes get annoyed too easily when I see something I consider somewhat trivial.
“Hearts starve as well as bodies
Give us bread, but give us roses.”
While these are hard times and we are facing serious issues, actually xtasy, a little humour, fun and wit sure helps in times of strife. I appreciated the light relief. Very impressive selection actually.
