The SS Shambolic is full of holes and sinking under him and the big rats aboard are jumping. Suddenly it dawns on Muller that in his speed to take over captaincy he had overlooked securing the loose cannons.<br /><br />Meanwhile aboard HMS Labour Admiral Ardern alone in her cabin quietly does another little dance.........

...To: Frit.<br /><br />We are all sinners, Frit, no question.<br /><br />My own outrage in regard to Mr Woodhouse is born of the latter's failure to acknowledge his sinning and make some effort toward atonement.<br /><br />Absolution follows confession, Frit, not the other way 'round.<br /><br />As for your "misguided locker room combative spirit" explanation. No. I'm sorry, but that just doesn't wash. What that photograph shows is misogyny of a particularly unpleasant kind. The first step to overcoming such bad behaviour must, surely, be to acknowledge it as such?<br /><br />Why can't Mr Woodhouse do even that much?Chris Trotterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09081613281183460899noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3753486518085091399.post-14235555053770782752020-07-11T05:23:41.080+12:002020-07-11T05:23:41.080+12:00Never heard the place referred to as Brisvegas bef...Never heard the place referred to as Brisvegas before. Too many snakes in Oz for me, I thought NZ snake free, but looking at the media, maybe not. To borrow from Justice Mahon seems there is an orchestrated litany of lies going on.

I know you are not are not an elected representative, nor presume a moral authority, but you do seek and hold 'influence'. <br /><br />A toilet seat handed around in misguided jock locker room combative spirit - is it really a moral failure and scar? Is the action so vile only because Clare capitulated so? I stand, no-one should take pleasure in that.<br /><br />There have been rap songs about the rape of a politically connected family member (deliberately not more clearly referenced).<br /><br />This person (Clare) was willingly engaged in the sport. I struggle to feel appalled. <br /><br />Justin Trudeau blackface? We can draw bows the length of the Earth it seems. <br /><br />Genuinely interested in your thoughts.<br /><br />Cheers<br />Frit<br /><br />Frithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13941806659984421091noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3753486518085091399.post-89291201965807119812020-07-10T12:24:34.648+12:002020-07-10T12:24:34.648+12:00...and astonishingly in the NZ media bubble, not o......and astonishingly in the NZ media bubble, not only having deliberately moved on from Woodhouses phoney "homeless man in the hotel" we now have at least two "journalists" saying that the idiot with Covid escaping custody from the smoking area is a worse thing for the Govt than the Walker Boag scandal. I never thought I'd say this living in Brisvegas, but the Aussie media are light years more responsible and nonpartisan than NZs at this moment when it comes to Covid.

Would that our sensitive media have pursued him with the same relentlessness as they and he pursued Clark. For all Clark’s misjudgements, no one is suggesting that he is as nasty as Woodhouse has shown himself to be. What these ongoing revelations reveal is the devious and unscrupulous culture that has become acceptable within the National Party. What chance our media friends, so beloved of “gotcha” journalism, might take a wider look at this issue? Let’s not hold our breath.Borisnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3753486518085091399.post-33007596687273683542020-07-10T10:28:52.359+12:002020-07-10T10:28:52.359+12:00The only entity worth pursuing in this whole sordi...The only entity worth pursuing in this whole sordid story is the National Party itself.<br />...........<br />When you look at the mess politics is today you ask: "what should <i>we</i> do?" Then you realise there is no <i>us</i>. To function a society needs sufficient commonality. For example "what should we do about China?". Reading Interest.co.nz you have pro-China Kiwis with Chinese sounding names (starting with X). Meanwhile local Maori are complaining about dioramas at the Canterbury Museum. Formally the directors stood by the depictions as "accurate representations". Now Maori are the authority. Labour decided "diversity has been of immense benefit to the country and will be even more so in the future". Labour also made Academics the "eyes and ears of the community" and thereby privileged social justice over truth. Labour increased societies <i>error</i>. Labour's job was to protect New Zealanders from neo-liberal excess instead it went hand in hand until relatively recently when it back pedaled (a bit). The "workers" Labour did privilege however were the left-wing lackeys in the Universities. John Hurleynoreply@blogger.com
