Cut out all those services that gave her a leg up so no-one else can get ahead who is on the Welfare. <br /><br />I agree. There are no women in the Gnats that one could assume are of a real Feminist nature. Most are what one could call Nazis (Collins, Tolley et al) or are wimpish.Bushbaptisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09657695593141243969noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3753486518085091399.post-9288418474352741802015-09-27T15:49:26.689+13:002015-09-27T15:49:26.689+13:00Great line Chris, very moving!

Except Bushbaptist should not just point the searchlight on Paula, most of the other National women don't display well the end results of feminism, higher education and opportunity in their performance and intellectual aspiration. <br /><br />I was just considering Margaret Thatcher's background - she was only agrocer's daughter etc. (from a family with large business holdings in grocery, which could only be disparaged by a narrow classist country like the UK). She was a chemist and very clever lady (rather than woman), and an excellent parrot for the revisionist right wing western democracy. <br /><br />Paula is doing very well, riding on the relatively classless colonial wave of self-advancement available to self-seeking women and men giving achievable opportunities to the ambitious lucky even if they have no connections to aristocracy or plutocracy.<br />greywarblernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3753486518085091399.post-8613862299649025952015-09-27T07:23:45.737+13:002015-09-27T07:23:45.737+13:00Our Paula is not the brightest candle in the chand...Our Paula is not the brightest candle in the chandelier.

She is a wannabe that regards politics as some Amway type program to get ahead in life. The National party is the closest look to a pyramid scheme and suits her well.

And they are very, very good at agitating against legislation they don't like. Look at the "fart tax" affair.Guerilla Surgeonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03427876447124021423noreply@blogger.com
