Here, here.
My thoughts exactly Tiger. This morning Collins is twittering on about this KFC business. I read somewhere that the right wing reporter that has stirred this up has been reprimanded for only telling part of the story. Clearly Collins is anxious to divert ...
Well said Anne. Agree with every word you have said here.
I suspect that the influence on the Brexit vote occurred before the initial referendum. It was a result which surprised the initiators of the vote, in particular David Cameron. Farage and Johnson are unscrupulous charlatans. They would certainly have hired...
I thought that my position was clear. I am very concerned at the way this company, which I am sure is paid handsomely by its clients, has the ability to affect the results of elections quite significantly. I thought that I had better do a modicum of ...
The manipulation of "voter preference" using modern technology, particularly the internet, has been around for a while. We have a home grown "whizz kid" who went to Australia to weave his magic recently and handed Morrison his "miracle" (Morrison's word) ...
I am now in my eightieth year and not sure that I agree with the thrust of your comment - I feel that I am still quite capable of being discriminatory in what I read, listen to and see. As my late father-in-law would say to my late mother-in-law- "you are ...
Well said AB. Couldn't agree more.
Amen to that.
Headline in today's Herald; Mike Hosking: Two weeks in and new Govt is missing in action. Three more years, and hopefully more, of this twerps ravings. Good grief, Cabinet hasn't even been sworn in yet. Perhaps we should club together and offer him a one ...
That's interesting. Didn't realise that Audrey Young was so "well connected" but it explains a lot. I turned the Panel off this evening after I heard Stephen Franks' opening comments and wont bother listening when and if he is on again. A right wing prat. ...
I have heard that David Clark was a very effective Minister of Health who let himself down with those incidents involving Covid. If you source your information I will do some more research as well.
Very pleased to Willie there.
Well said BG.
Well said Stuart. Andrew Miller's comment is nonsense. Jeremy Corbyn is a thoroughly decent man who almost lead the party to victory. He was defeated by treachery within his own party and the unrelenting vitriol of the Red Tops (and Murdoch of course). ...
Hey Visubversa, you make it sound as if I wrote the comment "too posh to push". I too was not happy with that comment. Cheers.
Thanks Barfly. Having waded through comment after comment I was hoping someone would make this point. I have a very old friend who lives in Auckland Central who has voted Labour all his life. In conversation with him a month or so ago he expressed a ...
Thanks RSE - you beat me to the "draw". I am a rural dweller but love using the Gold Card when I use public transport in the cities. I have a feeling too that the people of Tauranga have Winston to thank for their second harbour bridge. The country shunned...
This is November 1972 and July 1984 all over again. Not since then have I felt so elated. But Labour mustn't betray that trust as it did after 84 or lose its way as in 1972. Mind you in each of those cases it was trading on discontent with National. This ...
I am seriously wondering whether or not to renew my membership.
Yesterday I received an unsolicited and personalised email from Judith Collins. Its content, which is fear mongering at its worst, is attempting to link Labour policy to the Green's Wealth Tax proposal. Jacinda Ardern has stated quite categorically that ...
This would be an initiative taken by Labour supporters in Auckland Central. There is no indication of overt "instruction" as there has been by the National Party in Epsom. Let us not forget the infamous "tea and scones" stitch up between Banks and Key. To ...
Like others have written here, I am puzzled at your response which seems to have missed the whole point of the article which is that responses from the minister have been "doctored" in an attempt to discredit him.
Willie Jackson has some excellent and robust reposte's on Face Book. Of course this is the Crosby Textor firm earning their money, just as they did in Australia. Dastardly and anti-democratic.
Cree doesn't half look like the creep who managed the Rest Home in "Waiting for God".
My thanks to you and to Anne. It is not often that my contributions evoke a response but this has proven to a worthwhile little discussion. Was it Bernie Sanders or Jo Biden (or neither) who said recently that he was opposed to sanctions because they hurt ...
What has changed Anne. He who may well prove, or has already proven, to be the greatest cretin of all, is currently the leader of the "free world". History has also shown that Professor Herd was absolutely correct.
Of course! - it would have been a Viet Nam issue. And Prof Herd's was a friendship group. I knew the Professor personally and you could not have wished for a more decent and humane gentleman. Thank you for that and for the link. I think that the "dark ...
All this reminds me of an incident from long, long ago. There used to be a Sunday morning magasine spot on National Radio called "Looking at ourselves". People of all persuasions were invited to express their views on current affairs. One such comment was ...
Still think that Labour doing an "Epsom" is a good ploy. Two strong leftish candidates could well split the vote and let Mellow take the seat. Green for the electorate vote, Labour for the Party. A "win win" outcome.
Must have been a different speech by someone perhaps who resembled Jacinda. Don't recognise your report at all.
