They are not there to get the views of people, they are there to push their own views which are almost invariably right wing. I see this constantly on Left-wing blogs and social media accounts so it seems an accepted truth. But were that true then right-...
@newsense. I think you will be pushing stuff uphill here on that one. Still, it seems you have support from two left-leaning authors, historian Toby Green and economist Thomas Fazi, have written a new book on the global response to the Covid pandemic, The ...
I'll draw your attention to a post made in 2019 by Chris Trotter where he noted a Working Class protest on the Coast, The Message From Messenger Park, but less for his comments than one by long-timer "Sanctuary": Wah wah wah, cry me a river. I am heartily ...
I'm amazed that this Malthusian nonsense has raised its head once more. A forecast of the global human population reaching 18 billion this century? I had similar arguments on Kiwiblog in 2008 where I quoted another book published in 1974, not long after ...
Pffft... Wayne Brown was utterly useless in the Far North and his DHB role shows that he's just another trougher. But that doesn't justify scaremongering lines like: The alternative does not bear thinking about. Please! If elected he'll change little or ...
Hmmm, John Minto says, Not a single fighting bone in his body when it was needed the most I know there will be some who say we shouldn’t speak ill of the dead and try to salvage something positive from his union work. Don’t bother. His betrayal of workers ...
Only Right-Wingers? So I gather from these comments that none of you felt any sense of freedom at all with these announcements? Or worse, perhaps a sense of oppression from the now maskless? Anyway, watch this video of little kids jumping for joy in Las ...

This New Zealand government, based on no specific plan or electoral mandate, has in the course of just one calendar year renationalised the entire health system, centralised public television and radio, pulled in all property management from school boards...
Ick. Just shows me to check my numbers. Can't find my original number for coal generation in 2010 but the one I used was wrong. However, the good/bad news is that it only changes the monthly reactor build rate to just under seven per month globally for a ...
Well about a decade ago I ran some calculations for a comment on Kiwiblog <a href="https://www.kiwiblog.co.nz/2014/12/a_nuclear_power_debate_in_australia.html">A nuclear power debate in Australia</a>: <i>So to replace coal with nuclear on a global basis ...
Well ADVANTAGE, you seem to be the one blogger here who might allow this through so I'll give it a crack, especially since this guy, Professor Simon Michaux, doesn't take issue with global warming, but in an online conference looks at the extra capacity ...
For all the talk of Dugin and company inside Russia you all might want to have a read of this 2018 article from NY Books about an early-mid 20th century Russian philosopher, Ivan Ilyin, Putin's Philosopher of Russian Fascism. He's some piece of work and ...
