The Chinese like Trump as a straight talker (for example). <br />The other day I watched Plastic "Jack" Tame interview the head of tourism NZ who jumped with joy as to how tourism was booming: "they spend $60b in the economy". Not a word about an inconvenient truth: real wages in the sector are falling. The best response the liberal media will come up with is stronger unions, but union power is based on exclusivitey whereas Jacinda Adern-Trudeau's policy is "Imagine - The Beatles". Liberal society eventually disappears up it's own backside.<br />RNZ's biases would not prosper without Labour's blessing. E.g.<br /><i>Julie Zhu<br />"I feel that sort of positioning of Pakeha and everyone else. I would think of the ideal as Maori and everyone else because Maori are kind of the only unique aspect of NZ that really needs to be upheld if we are to move forward and I think there just needs to be solidarity</i><br />Paul Spoonley who is a champion of Pakeha not being an ethnic group agreed (of course). Kau Tod Nial a ho and up and away (or up your nose with a rubber hose).<br />Outspoken.

Only suggestion, being an armchaired pleasure-lover, a sparky short version that people can't avoid, indeed desire.

Individualism may be heroic, but the thought comes to me from experience that a group of wholehearted citizens trying to start a movement, working together fairly, resisting the urge to be bombastic and find fault, agreeing on a base and then having new projects as pilots is so encouraging that I feel that many movements like this would save society from its excesses. That would be an heroic movement.greywarblernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3753486518085091399.post-79492249538019604162018-02-08T12:36:20.833+13:002018-02-08T12:36:20.833+13:00I'm assuming this meme is - at least, partly -...I'm assuming this meme is - at least, partly - created by John Moore (a Bernstein fan). John has also tweeted the following, to go along with it: "Is the Labour-led government a government of real change? Or is the Labour-led government all about style over substance? Whatever is the case, expectations are at an all time high."Bryce Edwardsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3753486518085091399.post-38882000505883692342018-02-08T12:01:48.037+13:002018-02-08T12:01:48.037+13:00Looks like it was Sam Sharpe of Duneden
