It's funny how you make posts like that now, but I don't recall any of his interactions here being the intellectually one sided exchanges you seem to characterise them as. Look him up on twitter and take him on directly if you're all that.
Brownlee sounds guilty af in his response to Jenna Lynch. Still, looking at the Newshub article, this bit was funny: 'But Minister for Women Julie Anne Genter says it's not good enough. "People should get with the times, especially the National Party ...
Meanwhile, he's caused yet another foreign policy disaster! Impeachment cannot come soon enough - this kind of humiliation for the USA would never have happened under Hilary! https://www.nationalreview.com/news/north-korea-releasing-american-prisoners-...
Ah, Democrats. They're so much better than & different to the Republicans. The kind of people we, the Commonwealth left can relate t.... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S6vlu1FRaic&feature=youtu.be
The American left just went full Infowars. Taxigate.
"Maybe Robert Fisk’s mysterious doctor has it right — and maybe the hundreds of survivors and eyewitnesses to the attack are all “crisis actors.”……" Crisis Actors would be a great name for a punk band right now
Agree with that for certain, we'd need to seriously upscale services, accommodation, ESL, etc. to prevent making the same mistakes as Britain, Germany, Sweden, etc. have made.
Yes, no doubt there have been some middle class migrants who might fit such pessimistic criteria. Probably not anything like the majority though. Plus, they're more likely than the 'less fortunate' to be in a position to support themselves upon arrival, ...
Silly Americans, they've painted themselves into such a dumb corner with this. We know they have these areas under more than adequate aerial surveillance to supply the world with pictorial evidence should the Russians attempt to decontaminate the site. ...
I like that other Russian saying which has since emerged: "We knew they were lying to us about the Soviet Union; now we know they were telling us the truth about the West."
In migratory contexts, 'middle class flight' is usually a construct peddled by middle class socialists who incorrectly believe themselves to be middle class social democrats. I say that in the spirit of Orwell's observation that these people tend not to be...
Yes, that could be a good idea - there's a real risk of the whole region being sucked into the wake of US-China geopolitics.
Oh Joe, trust you to find a) one which isn't funny, and b) bears such a poor resemblance to the sketch Meanwhile, on with the shit that actually delivers: https://twitter.com/justinjm1/status/986269435005669376 https://twitter.com/MissingLinks62/status/...
I'd be thinking more like 40% at most, but overall like the idea. And I guess that could be part of their brief, looking at for example what the load might be on schools with ESL teaching requirements etc. That itself could prove to be an expanding field ...
What would your parameters be for immediate need?
Hard to say. Even leaving the infrastructure issue aside, given the trend both here and in the rest of the developed world with youth unemployment, increase of automation, etc. I'd wonder whether we do actually need substantially more or just more well ...
This didn't take long. https://twitter.com/BasedMonitored/status/986336139631058944 Trump scandals just get funnier by the moment.
Yes I agree that real affordability is ideally still south of $600k and so it should be. I am likewise for a qualified immigration pause - there may be some specialist fields where we will need to recruit, but things like these language school and cooking ...
Agreed
Chicken/egg. I know plenty of people who are keeping the birth rate static because they don't want to have children until they have a house, and this is now something which is pushed back increasingly late into life. Same thing in my case too. But also the...
I think much of it is down to the individual. Some seem to think it was success which enabled the Blairs and Clintons etc. to 'sell out' to power. Once in the orbit and proximity, they were won over. By contrast, I think their pursuit of power in the first...
Oh, you'd like to strawman me as a Nat because things need to be built? You're having a Turkish.
Idiots, you'd think they'd at least try selling them, or try offering them to public libraries on long-term loan. Now this I think is something the two of us can agree is absolute vandalism.
I'm on the left, which is why I can't support the likes of the Clintons and the Blairs. I consider their views on economic policy and geopolitics for all practical purposes indistinguishable from that of the Bush war cabinet. Which is probably why they've ...
You seem to have confused me for someone who didn't read the bit in the article where they listed widening and sealing the road as a priority, with pilot vehicles provided until this is done. Or perhaps you also confused me for someone who thinks the fact ...
It reminds you of the Hunger Games? Weird. It reminds me of living in a first world country where there's a hell of a lot of work to do. Like building all those houses and upgrading all that infrastructure we quite rightly criticized National for loafing ...
IMO we're at the point where 'Neocon' is no longer exclusively something which denotes a right wing bent. Hillary and Bill Clinton are neocons. Tony and Cherie Blair are neocons. Most of Jeremy Corbyn's opponents in the Labour party are neocons. While ...
It's actually not so bad. I seem to be travelling at peak morning and evening, so I'm used to being packed in anyway. If it helps the staff with their employment negotiations then I can hack it being barely perceptibly more crowded for a couple weeks.
I can't stand National, but this is some sloppy logic from the OP: "The next few months will show if the Borg like entity that is the National Party will continue or if the right has learned the lessons of MMP and the need for Governments to reflect a ...
Thanks for that link, Andre. If you dig into that chart and the numbers behind it, the researcher, Joshua Tewksbury, gives this as his data source: https://web.archive.org/web/20170207131949/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_firearm-...
"Imagine thinking that the secret to less gun killings is more guns." Imagine learning that Mohamed Lahouaiej-Bouhlel killed more people than Stephen Paddock.
