EDITORS NOTE: – By the way, here’s a list of shit that will get your comment dumped. Sexist language, homophobic language, racist language, anti-muslim hate, transphobic language, Chemtrails, 9/11 truthers, Qanon lunacy, climate deniers, anti-fluoride fanatics, anti-vaxxer lunatics, 5G conspiracy theories, the virus is a bioweapon, some weird bullshit about the UN taking over the world and ANYONE that links to fucking infowar.
Practical, meaningful action? Holding land back from developers? Whoever heard the like of that? A double rainbow – what can it mean?

Interesting worth watching TOPs movements, and waiting.

TOP – The Opportunities Party – Facebook
https://www.facebook.com › topnz
6 days ago — Epic fail indeed, but as Bernard Hickey notes, this total policy cluster is nothing compared to the ongoing failure to introduce a tax on land value.
I don’t go to facebook much – trying to live without it. So hope someone can keep informed and us up to date.
!!!But a suggestion for TOP – look at how google is listing them.
From keywords – TOP Party NZ policies
got this first :
ACT Party
https://www.act.org.nz
4 days ago — ACT is a political party that stands for a New Zealand where individual New Zealanders are free to achieve their full potential.
(That’s a joke. If it is someone’s full potential to be a leading wealthy drug dealer or land racketeer, he/she should do so and not be fettered by anything that’s a restraint to trade I suppose.)
Then in list of questions one was – What is the top party of NZ? I got ACT again.
(‘top’ in lower case can mean anything that any party wants to claim. )
Then I tried keywords – What is the TOP Party of NZ
There were 9 entries down the google page and not a mention of TOP.
So something deliberate going on there. They had better start putting their name in full, for maximum recognition, and also to make sure that they actually do appear or not get obliterated by some other schemers.
Nothing wrong with being known as ***The Opportunities Party of Aotearoa/New Zealand*** is there, I like it! And they need to register that full name pronto, to make sure the Maori component is understood to be included, not just a bunch of white guys and their female cronies. Again, before some schemers of these wide boys and girls get onto it.
Does anyone know any socialist association/union/group in Tasman ?
Should be one in Golden Bay – they fizz over there. Would the Tui community know of any such group? Probably there are notices in hostelries, hubs of local activity.
Hey we haven’t sold everything yet.

You too can learn, get into it while there is still something to sell.

Com-plaint. Why are One News people so idiotic? America MSM, leaving aside Fox, despite their sinking into crap, always insisted on intelligent anchors and main reporters. I feel assaulted by One’s Queen funeral crap. Actually all their presenters since 84 have been childish.
Christ save us. From this tripe.
From having a go at being a journalist, I realised you needed to be ‘quick’ — or ‘intelligent’ — and I’m not. But even I’m insulted by One’s children’s news.
nd wouldn’t you know John Cmpbell turns up s their min presenter this week. Dllow gone. s long s he keeps his effusion in check, it’s a good direction.
Hebrew leaves out ‘all’ the vowels so don’t complain.
