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.




Something slightly condescending about Helen Clark describing Tim Shadbolt as “ One of the characters of his generation” Shadbolt was much more than “ a character”. He was a mover and shaker, and he got things done in a way that few do in this cold little antipodean outpost, and agree with him or not, we could benefit more from having more Tim Shadbolts than patronising old Helens.
RIP Tim Shadbolt

Reliance on tech systems is being enforced often. It is counter productive for citizen welfare surely. Where goes the sturdy self reliance of yore?
