I think it is fair to say America punches well above its weight for its share of loonies!
Good on Frank for that. He has always been a stalwart. Thanks TM.
Just how dumb are the Police? It turns out they did not roadblock the Tuakau bridge (near Port Waikato) when he covid border was established, and merely occasionally patrolled the backroad route from Waikato to Auckland. Good god... the mind boggles.
If it's any consolation Ad ,I have a relative "way up North" of similar disposition but he is no Jesus freak, more of a self imposed hermit. Must be many of them spread around NZ wherever there are suitable climes.
Well done incognito. Great post and great responses (so far - it's only 9.15 am).
I suspect there is going to be an extraordinary outpouring of contempt and hatred of gangs because delta has "outsmarted " our failures to contain it. The gangs are not the only shortcomings of our society.
Yeah, nail it to a coffin. That Act contribution is piffle - the virus doesn't comply with set dates.
"They reap what they sow". Careful Anne . Thirty five years of neoliberalism has left an "underclass" who have had nothing to sow because of the system's deliberate treatment of them. Little wonder they end up making, what a certain John Key called, poor ...
Well said TM. The Liberals ( the spoiled narcissistic hedonistic adult children) have won again. We need more Socialism, not this greedy neoliberalist Individualism that we are collectively suffering from.
Yes the deal is all about America having a huge presence in Australia because their aircraft carriers and their subs are basically obsolete with the new rockets the so called "enemy" have now (or soon will have). To me the big question is this....Is the ...
Huntly West has many problems resulting from poverty. The Raglan area is by no means comparable to Pauanui. Hamilton East has a few areas of lower socio-economic conditions. Thirty five years of Rogernomics. Spot the connection.
My apologies Johnr. Yes she is the best there is, in fact she is a gem.
WellJohnr if you can't handle an intelligent interviewer then stick to your stupid mate Hosking.
It must be licensed for him to have breakfast there?
Why is it that people are so concerned about "Chinese aggression" when they are rank amateurs compared to overt and covert operations worldwide by the USA? And ,yes, we are too greedy, just as we have been for yonks. The Planet will terminate our current ...
Yeah , well the moment I heard Farrar's voice I turned the radio off. Has everyone read Dirty Politics? It puts you off the likes of him forever.
Look, let's face it - up around 40% of people don't follow politics. They voted for Key because he was a "successful business man so he should be able to fix NZ ", then they voted for Ardern because she "is so kind", now they're moving to Seymour because ...
There you go Karl, that's our answer. Looking ahead it is a very foggy crystal ball indeed, but at least I think we can all be so thankful we don't have a National govt.
To overload our health services or not to. THAT is the question. Either do your bit or be prepared to swallow a bitter pill Karl.
bwaghorn, that should read were, not are.
Thank you Adrian, that should be compulsory viewing for anyone who claims to be a leftie , and everyone else as well !
Well said Sanctuary. That catastrophe could be our undoing in that we settlers may well reap what we have sown ( because of our abysmal treatment of the indigenous people, for those who can't join the dots.).
I fear you are right Jenny. It was basically all over once the virus got into the "down and out" sector of our 35 year neoliberal disaster. Brace yourselves.
No worries francesca- the guy sitting in front of his screen thousands of kms away doesn't give a damn about "collateral" damage when he presses the button. He is merely following orders. This is the wonderful America that we still seem to fawn over and do...
Your first sentence Andre..." the young immigrants that are most of the people I work with". Therein lies our self induced problem. Our economic policies in the last thirty years have led to this situation. Need I say more?
Andre if we don't beat this outbreak in these lower socioeconomic suburbs this week then we will go down the gurgler just like NSW. So suck it up and try to have some empathy for the living conditions of the poorly treated poor. It looks to me that we are ...
Yes Gezza, it is indeed a hopeless situation for the Afghans. The USA is not finished with interfering in Afghanistan. They will foment ( and fund and militarily support) as much trouble as they can to bring unwanted problems to both Russia and China ...
Gosh Sanctuary, is it Wednesday already?
Go Adrian. Thank you.
""Your lean to the centre has resulted in falling off the fence". Exactly. There are some commentators on here who pretend they are lefties but are really centrists. Their continual compromising waters down leftwing principles to a level close to outright ...
I believe you are correct Sabine. Labour is so wedded to neoliberalism that it is incapable of being progressive. Jacinda may/may not have tendencies that way in her nature, but the Party ......hopeless. They are just a bunch of third wayers. Their only ...
