    The government's position on cruising yachts is anomalous given the exemptions granted to super yachts.

    Peter Sellers in a short vid sending up the conservative Conservatives – a bit of light humour to brighten our day and show us what not to do.

    Hearing some very disturbing accounts of voter fraud in the US election (at this point ignoring anything Trump is saying and especially ignoring any MSM).

    I can see some States refusing to acknowledge the election results in the future, and possibly a reversal of the winner if that is even possible. #prayforcalm

    So greatful to be living in NZ where elections are still sane.

    Bagging Boris. Marvelous.

    This is a choir drawn from two different police districts in England. Maybe we could foster good spirit in our police with the same.

    The last line – 'So that we may endure to the last'. This applies here only to the strong and committed with their eyes on a higher goal than just getting well-paid jobs and money themselves, to live a personal comfortable life.

    This is followed by the Welsh National Anthem. They have managed to hold onto their culture, and keep a national spirit that's good, often through singing together. We should follow their lead; a small nation overwhelmed by a bigger, bullying one yet they keep faith.

    Out of all this turmoil and cliff hanging US election a new saying has been created. The Philadelphia Mayor has told Trump "to put on his big boy pants…..". I can see this becoming a new phrase when somebody male is acting like a 2 year old and having tantrums. Love it.

    If TS Authors are seeking ironic images for current events… Trump's twitter page might tickle you. It depicts a large rally with sign Pennsylvania Welcomes Trump.

    Apparently Michael Woodhouse is considering a bid for deputy leader of the National Party. Looks as though, rather than renewal, the party is going for same old same old.

    Collins and her deep involvement in Dirty Politics. And now Woodhouse and his appalling involvement in the Boag data leak at the beginning of the Covid lockdown.

    Keep it up National.

    Is anyone offering odds on a Luxon bid for the leadership pretty soon.

      he doesnt yet have a locker or know where the bike sheds are. I realise the nats are desperate, but to parachute onto the titanic as the new captain, after the iceberg, is a big ask.

    Foreign fisherman found dead. Probably wasn't in the best of health, whatever Independent assert. Not sure why it’s not the coroner determining cause of death.

    Well today, Trump is trying to bully his way into 4 more years as President

    and

    Woodhouse is trying to slither into the Deputy Leadership of the National Party.

    Such upstanding examples… sarc.
