The Daily Blog Open Mic – Tuesday 6th June 2017

1. This interview with John Pilger is brilliant:

   ‘Blowback or extremism? Uneasy debate in UK on causes of terrorist attacks’

   https://www.rt.com/uk/390898-terrorism-corbyn-may-debate/

   “In the wake of the recent terrorist attacks, Theresa May called for a crackdown on extremist ideology, Jeremy Corbyn called on Arab countries to stop promoting it, while John Pilger told RT he believes the attacks are the “product” of UK foreign policy…

2. …and this?…on the seeds of blow back

   ‘CrossTalk Bullhorns: Enough!’

   https://www.rt.com/shows/crosstalk/390892-putin-trump-bullhorns-enough/

   “Enough is enough! It would seem both President Vladimir Putin and President Donald Trump are saying the same thing – but for very different reasons! We will tell you why.

   CrossTalking with Mark Sleboda, Dmitry Babich, and Adam Garrie.”

3. Another story on stuffyou.co.nz bragging about the surplus being greater than forecast.
   Why do the right persist in calling it a budget surplus when it is actually a spending deficit, it means the government hasn’t spent as much money as they thought they needed to.
   It isn’t hard to guess what they money HASN’T been spent on – child poverty, homelessness, mental health, policing, etc. etc.
   Anyone can create a surplus if they don’t spend as much as they earn, but if that not spending is creating social problems then bragging about it is about as low as you can go – quite normal for National of course.

   • Amid English’s bullshit NZ’s debt rises, inequity increases and poverty reaches an all time high amid pain and suffering not seen for several score years.

4. Well put mike – pity half the population ( hoping it’s less) can’t fathom this.
