It is like the motte and bailey doctrine where the left has the argument confined to the motte and Trumpp takes it to the bailey. Think of the Duke Boys Robert E Lee?<br /><br /> It is all mirrored here in this:<br /><br />Ella Henry* is appalled by the (1) widening gap between rich and poor in Aotearoa. But, she writes for the RNZ series My NZ, she is heartened by those of (2) all races and creeds who share her love for the country.<br /><br />(3)I am perpetually flummoxed by the idea that the land which is in my bones and my very being, this whenua, the moana, its mana, mauri and wairua, received its name from some white man on the other side of the world.<br />http://www.radionz.co.nz/programmes/mynz/story/201836542/my-nz-'inequity-and-sheer-awfulness-is-beginning-to-emerge‘<br /><br /><br />Darren Knoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3753486518085091399.post-11341878523066988192017-08-13T21:27:43.098+12:002017-08-13T21:27:43.098+12:00How exhilirating the '93 'bugger the polls...How exhilirating the '93 'bugger the pollsters' election was, when the electorate out of the blue rejected Richardson's thrust. The commentators went silent and Bolger stopped emphasizing every 2nd word, for weeks on end. In Hawke's Bay there was a huge rainstorm and in the morning it felt like the earth was purified.<br /><br />It wasn't.<br /><br />I still love to hear the commentators go quiet. It's a good sign. To hear the self-believing 'Best' fall quiet, it's the vale where the people can speak.sumsuchnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3753486518085091399.post-14203382234695924182017-08-13T07:06:40.308+12:002017-08-13T07:06:40.308+12:00Wow, one guy claims to be making $150 a day – one ...Wow, one guy claims to be making $150 a day – one guy – claims.

You are using this site to put your bit in and spread your negative prejudices around though you are a nobody, an anonymous so uninterested in standing behind what passes for thoughts but really is just regurgitated simplistic cant, that you can't even bother to give yourself a handle. You just want to lie around the place waiting for someone to flick you an opinion so you can enliven yourself to scoff at it. greywarblernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3753486518085091399.post-69898275601898696422017-08-12T12:39:44.480+12:002017-08-12T12:39:44.480+12:00And if it isn't tongue in cheek it is Seacliff...And if it isn't tongue in cheek it is Seacliff Lunatic Asylum for <i>you</i> Chris Trotter!Whanganuinoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3753486518085091399.post-76358465139301335052017-08-12T08:54:05.261+12:002017-08-12T08:54:05.261+12:00I hope this tongue in cheek Chris Trotter?I <i>hope</i> this tongue in cheek Chris Trotter?<br />Whanganuinoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3753486518085091399.post-41315261721152297942017-08-12T08:38:56.945+12:002017-08-12T08:38:56.945+12:00Gang organised beggars?

It's not as if they're raking in hundreds of dollars a day that gangs are going to be interested in that rather than something like methamphetamine. Have you seen how much people give them? Get real.<br />And on what basis or evidence do you make this claim? Or is it something as usual that Conservatives managed to drag out of their collective arse. I get tired of this assumption, when people who actually work with the homeless and know what's going on get ignored by people like you in favour of fairy tales.Guerilla Surgeonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03427876447124021423noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3753486518085091399.post-28106023443011412502017-08-12T06:45:58.388+12:002017-08-12T06:45:58.388+12:00Anon @18.02 I suggest you talk to a few of them an...Anon @18.02 I suggest you talk to a few of them and get it from the horses mouth. I'd also suggest that you attempt to deal with the welfare agencies and try to live on it. You might then have evidence confirming your contention.
