The Editor doesn’t moderate this blog, 3 volunteers do, they are very lenient to provide you a free speech space but if it’s just deranged abuse or putting words in bloggers mouths to have a pointless argument, we don’t bother publishing.
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.
This post from Gordon Campbell – Werewolf on Scoop is sharp, sardonic and on the spot I think. Good read, good thoughts.

Labour’s kitchen cabinet is a bit like Murder on the Orient Express. Who killed Labour’s chances of a third term? They all did. So none of them did.
That reminds me of a saying –
This is a story about four people named Everybody, Somebody, Anybody and Nobody. There was an important job to be done and Everybody was sure that Somebody would do it. Anybody could have done it, but Nobody did it.
Somebody got angry about that, because it was Everybody’s job.
Everybody thought Anybody could do it, but Nobody realized that Everybody wouldn’t do it. It ended up that Everybody blamed Somebody
when Nobody did what Anybody could have.

Truth is everybody is going to hurt you: you just gotta find the ones worth suffering for.

Nobody cares how much you know, until they know how much you care.

Do you think this little old nation that punches above its weight, and its mid stream media – equipped with its RNZ, Television One (YOUR news with OUR self-appointed boffins), and 3 News panelistas could now put the Rugger Whurl Cup behind them?
Is it possible?
There are more important ushyouse such as who is producing the best sausage roll, or who should be the bestest Mother of the Nation to discuss. (Hilary just HAS to be in the running)
I mean to say – it’s a given that we have the world’s bestest drivers (able to multitask with txting and attempting to conduct a Tesla OR a tradie ute); the bestest aviation experts from a traveller’s perspective; and the bigliest experts in progressive polytuks.
I’ll listen to Lisa at 17:00 this evening to determine if a trend is developing in this space
I object to you doing the Twitter, ephemeral, immediate, no-account, stuff. After-all we’re right and don’t have to seek around for grains left behind as per Rachel(?) in the OT.
