Announce protest actions, general chit chat or give your opinion on issues we haven’t covered for the day.
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.
All in all, TDB gives punters a very, very, very wide space to comment in but we won’t bother with out right lies or gleeful malice. We leave that to the Herald comment section.
EDITORS NOTE: – By the way, here’s a list of shit that will get your comment dumped. Sexist abuse, homophobic abuse, racist abuse, anti-muslim abuse, transphobic abuse, 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.
A further sign (if any were needed), That a second Trump presidency would be a fascist state where no one, not even the highest in the land are safe.
Could Joe Biden be interned under a Trump administration for an alleged attempted assassination of Donald Trump?

“Anytime the fbi takes an adversarial action like executing a search warrant, there is a deadly force policy,” former DOJ official and ABC News contributor Sarah Isgur tweeted. “If there is danger to you or public and there’s no alternatives, you are authorized to use deadly force. This is standard policy.”
Efforts to draft a pandemic treaty falter
“The accord’s aim was to set guidelines for how the WHO’s 194 member countries might stop future pandemics and better share resources. But experts warned there were virtually no consequences for countries that don’t comply”
https://www.stuff.co.nz/world-news/350289954/efforts-draft-pandemic-treaty-falter-countries-disagree-how-respond-next
When guidelines have consequences for failure to comply they go from being guidelines to becoming rules one has to follow.
Britain’s department of health said it would only agree to an accord if it adhered to British national interest and sovereignty.

Just asking for a friend because I happened to be in Blackball a few days before the Almighty God descended on Blackball – and a couple of other places where he graced them with His presence.
I had my own ‘close-to-home’ issues to resolve: such as how fucking funny it is that one of the mining lobbyist spin doctors is spinning. A total soak (ex? johnolists) who is desperately (and probably successfully) re-inventing herself..
Gore Vidal. FFS! Josie.. You’ve NEVER been a Vi Dahl. You’re a Vidal – as in Idle with a V.

If we want to withstand the forces against we people trying to be civilised and retaining human values into the future, then we need to think outside our own accepted knowledge. So read about Hannah Arendt as I am, that’s my recommendation.

I’m Gonna Live Forever from Fame – a song for young people!

We Scots have so much blood on our hands as the henchmen of the English in their empire. We had zero scruples at profiting from other people, coming from a dirt-poor country. When you saw a Scot coming over the brow of a hill you knew you were entirely fucked. And our Presbyterian religion is the mother-lode of America’s religious insanity (see Paisley, Northern Ireland).
But our dirt-poor mother country kept generating principles. Pinkerton of the Agency refused to allow his vile sons to use the agents to break up strikes. We produced the first British Labour leaders, one a ‘Good Scot’, the other a ‘Bad Scot’, appropriately.
We have ideals, ‘A man’s a man for all that’ (Robt Burns), which goes direct down to our NZ ‘Fair Go’. Should be on our flag.
I understand you English don’t understand us or our importance in NZ. In Oz the taste was Irish, in NZ it was Scots. Just off to tell my youngers this tale, not too much more receptive.
What do I think of a Left that doesn’t like me? Not Left. Yeah, I know I’m an individual.
I want generous welcomingness. Not the ever-slighting division we meet.
None of the 3 ‘Left’ blogs are up to that standard.
One game, two proposals
Proposal 1 from Central Commissariat Corporate Capital Command and Proposal 2 from the working class – the clubs of the provincial unions.
And appropriately on the same day as the budget from the CofC.
