Care to substantiate your claims? Thought not...
Essentially to indicate to Syria not to cross the chemical warfare redline. Assad did so with impunity when Obama let him cross the “redline” in 2013 without consequence. Wayne, where is the evidence Assad crossed any red line? That's right, there isn't ...
And I soooo hope Judith wins. I'm sure her blades have been sharp for some time now.
Which is, of course, the result of everyone complaining that there rates are too high. Nothing wrong with demanding efficiency and value for money from local government. Sure there'll be plenty of harpering cheapskates wanting it all and wanting to pay ...
Ignorant fool ...
Indeed. ME proxy wars fomented by the US have resulted in a regional tinderbox set to ignite a wider war which will draw in regional and world powers. Look at Syria! It's very fortunate that the US and Russians haven't come to blows already. Re: DPRK - ...
Agreed. SA in particular is on a dangerous path with MBS running amok with his purge, senseless bombing of Yemen, blockade on Qatar etc. Lebanese PM detained in Riyadh, Abbas is next. SA is pushing for a proxy war against Iran by trying to push Israel into...
The EU is murderous? Tell me more. Fair question. If anything I meant the states that comprise of the EU rather than the institution itself. The UK, France, Italy and so on have plenty of blood on their hands. France taking the lead on bombing the shit ...
There's every reason to fear any powerful governing entity be it Chinese, American, Russian or the EU. Each are monolithic and murderous in their own way. Personally I fear the American's the most given their weapons of mass destruction and the mass ...
How could we lose? My National mates are now ... losers? I'm a loser? What's going to happen to my show? OMG I'm losing the show!! FML ... Oh sh$t, how am I going to afford the car payments!! ... How could this happen to me ... ?
100% in agreement re: economic treason and the perpetrators being tried. We could start with Roger Douglas and his Mont Pelerin pals.
That and more likely to prevent her from opening her gob in front of NZ First negotiators. Bill understands that 98% of anything spoken by 'Pullya' will be a catalyst for blowing it.
Critical infrastructure? Single point of failure? Think of it this way, if it was you personally, would you rather lose $100 now, or maybe lose $200 sometime in the next 30 years (or not)? I’d prefer the latter, I bet you would too. Yeah. Nah. Anyone ...
Patrick Gower calls out Nats spreading false information about Labour's income tax policy. http://www.newshub.co.nz/home/opinion/2017/09/patrick-gower-national-guilty-of-biggest-campaign-lie.html
Just another poll, although this one looks possibly a bit rogue? Will be interesting to see how the other up and coming polls line up against this one...
Guess we're not the only ones then! Thanks
Has anyone not received their voting card in the mail yet? My wife and I are yet to receive ours? We received our enrollment confirmation letters promptly 6 or so weeks back. Planning on calling the electoral commission to query, however curious to see if ...
The Nats don't just need to be kicked out, they need to be held to account. I'm not talking about a witch hunt, but holding the nasty bastards to the same standard as the rest of us. The Nats have abused power and broken the law time and time again. Had ...
Go back to the top of this comment and the numbers and dollar signs around damage reported in “Stuff’ by 2050. That’s assuming a 40cm rise in sea level by 2050, which is based on a 1m sea level rise by 2100. Very bad news indeed Bill. As you've mentioned ...
If English loses, Bennett is leader of the Opposition. With Collins holding a knife to her spine ...
Queue the start of Dirty Politics 2.0 IMO Leaking private details to the media? Or is the start of a DP campaign to take Peters and NZ First down a few notches? Or is it to serve as a distraction? Peters will now have to release his records otherwise the ...
Musing on parking. I have been thinking about my locality that there is far too much use of roadside parks in residential areas where they have provision on their property but utilise the road because it is easier. This narrows the driving lanes and ...
Thanks Brendon, I'll have a read.
While I hadn't considered the monopoly benefits to drivers resulting from the wired mode, as others have stated, isn't full electrification coming? If the diesel replacements aren't short term, the move is disgraceful. The technology exists today for full ...
Wonder if citrus fruit is a treatment for TPDS? Boag sure looks like she's been sucking a lemon for at 149 of those years!
This is the sort of thing that makes me really fucking angry! (pardon my french) One of the worst things about it is that a good portion of our population completely agree with how National (and Labour before it) have systematically turned WINZ into a ...
National voters are happy to – push more people into poverty – grind beneficiaries into the dust – treat prisoners worse than dogs – punish + persecute disadvantaged youth – arm the police so that they can kill poor people more easily And right wing New ...
I found this segment of the Nation difficult to watch, so bad it made me cringe! Pullya Benefit is a typical example of a Nat MP; thick as two planks with a nasty streak. There is simply no comparison between her and Ms Ardern. Slightly off topic but worth...
Nope. Nuclear seems to be a false economy. Nuclear is a false economy. No one ever seems to take into account the energy investment required to: - Build the required infrastructure - Mine / Refine uranium fuel - Maintain the infrastructure for the ...
I’m kind of surprised that “The Intercept” ran this. Indeed, as am I. Perhaps Greenwald has been brought to heel by the powers that be? Albeit, along with the noted acknowledgement ... As far as I'm concerned the whole 'Russia did it' narrative is fake ...
Banning cigarettes is a foolish idea that would create an overnight black market, provide a new revenue stream for gangs and so on. I've always thought the best possible way to encourage users to quit is to get rid of the addictive substance in the product...
