Another example of deep misanthropy from Anne Tolley. How refreshing to see some criticism of someone/something other than Labour! I was beginning to think I'd stumbled on to a Right wing/libertarian site (as they're the ones who promote cannabis/abortion...
It prefers robust debate and people being brave and fronting up and saying what they think. Well, not really! Some things are considered unsayable, and that must be admitted. There are little boxes, and 'The Left' is defined by the loudest, and may I ...
Now that we’ve hit the minimum PC quotient for fully inclusive language, can we get on with the FRAKING POINT that Trotter was trying to make – that being made redundant with no alternatives hurts and causes despair to the person it happens to. Well said,...
No, I’m not a beneficiary but at the same time its not crocodile tears I’ve shed, as you’ve pointed out that the “anti Shearer campaign” have done Well, I am a beneficiary, and not one of the 'good' ones (I am not brown, I am not a solo mother (any more) ...
I found that quite offensive, arrogant and pretty rude given that he is referring to potential Labour supporters and voters It is to laugh, as Bugs Bunny says. When I first questioned the anti-Shearer hate campaign when it got started at the beginning of ...
Is Shearer running Farrar’s attack lines? Paranoia much? Honestly, this place has gone insane. Who did Shearer offend? The identity politics crowd is my guess.
I never knew Hooten wants Shearer gone…do you have a link for that (I actually thought he was scared of having Cunliffe as the leader)… No, I don't have a link. But he said as much on Radio NZ yesterday. What craziness. Garner is not too bad, David ...
And Matthew Hooton has largely showed approval of Shearer’s leadership. I suppose you didn't hear him on Radio NZ yesterday, then! :D He was rubbing his hands with glee at the prospect of the leadership challenge that he just knows (an insider told him, ...
No doubt these people have their reasons for thinking as they do: that there is no going back, that lefties do not attract business donations, etc, etc. What they need to face is that most people who want to see a LP “modernised” to fit the right wing ...
3 News is Little America again... sigh... In an item about the BBC, the reporter refers to someone walking out of an interview because he was behind 'sked-yool'... :D Then, they make a point of referring to Mr McAfee, of anti-virus fame, being wanted for ...
The problem is that people will continue to bleat on about individual “bludgers” whose reality and hardship they know nothing of I am reading a beneficiary bashing thread on the IMDB community boards, and they're even more vicious in the USA than here, as...
I thought it was supposed to be beneficiaries who did that. :D
very lolworthy, tv3 just called john keys wife ‘the first lady’, jeez, little america TV3 always are Little America! For years when we lived in Mt Eden/Albert, we couldn't get TV1, so I got used to 3 News, and apathy means I don't change, and so I am ...
Novopay business owner Rebecca Elvy said the system was rigorously tested to ensure it is a secure online service. “We take the security of payroll data and employees’ personal information very seriously,” she said. SURE I am so glad to work for PTEs, now...
Actually, there’s laws preventing exactly that. Oh, do you have details? Where could we find out? Because some of the former staff are still interested in fighting this mess..
edit. And it was a list naming Tory mp’s. Not a list naming gays. What I have heard on the radio this morning, is, that heads have rolled - that is, the allegation against a Tory MP was false, and so the editor of Newsnight has fallen on his sword. ...
75-150 are unable to obtain appropriate employment, depending on region or ethnicity.(the comparison is probably greater if youth are considered) The older workers are having a hard time too! Today, I saw two teachers at the school where I was relieving...
The country ended up with more murderous drones than ever, posing threats to world peace and harmony also as ever (e.g. by imperialism – in the Pacific?) Exactly my worry about Obama... :(
Bible-belt fundamentalism This is where I must point out that Mormons are not standard Christians, and not really a part of Bible Belt fundamentalism...
Very sad to see. Not at all! I am delighted to see them go down. What have they done with their 'superpower' after all? Nothing but kill, invade and destroy. :(
A server error prevented me putting this on the relevant thread, so here it is: BBC news running a very good live stream with updates My son was watching that, while talking on the phone to me, and I was keeping an ear on BBC WS radio at the same time! 18....
BBC news running a very good live stream with updates My son was watching that, while talking on the phone to me, and I was keeping an ear on BBC WS radio at the same time! 18.20, and it looks good, though not as good as it did, according to L., he says ...
cacophony in the neighbourhood Exactly. My neighbours had started 'celebrating' with fireworks on Saturday night, so my patience was in shreds by last night. "More money than sense" is what I kept thinking...
A “funny” Gay remark from Key?? Surely not! Now, he is really losing it!
Rock, Cliff, Clay? Compost even. My middle son has always insisted that he will call his son Horus. (Pity his wife doesn't agree!) :) My youngest says his daughter will be called Storm (he has yet to meet her mother, but is confident that she will be ...
Interesting to see that Andrew Little is putting forward the idea that ACC should be extended to cover illnesses and disease. I am confused, I thought it already had been!
Again I ask myself why 3 News in general and Patrick Gair in particular, are so desperately pro-Romney and against Obama? I mean, seriously, what's in it for them?
And under Fran O'Sullivan's embrassing brain-blurt, is the perfec place to copy the email I sent to my son today, after doing some reading: "This was said on the IMDB boards about a Romney supporter, arrested for voting twice: "I understand why you and ...
Fuck Tui and their fatphobic, culture-manipulative, body-hating excuse of an ad agency. Absolutely agreed. That billboard is vicious.
Having been through many a dark period myself and having had friends who have opted for the final solution to end their depression i have sympathy for anyone afflicted with clinical depression. It isn’t nice. So fuck you, Jackal. Agreed, TC! This ...
At one end of the scale, depression renders the sufferer incapable of anything - going to the toilet, eating, dressing, anything at all. In this kind of case the sufferer's condition has to improve dramatically for them to become relatively well enough ...
