In the face of the neoliberal scourge being discredited by the IMF, “IMF economists have published a remarkable paper admitting that the ideology was oversold” https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2016/may/31/witnessing-death-neoliberalism-imf-economists

smoking dope is probably the least of John Key’s worries at the moment. Time to have a sit down, light up and chillax (but DON’T inhale.

Neoliberalism is a con.
Neoliberalism is a sham.
Neoliberalism is a fraud.
Neoliberalism is a con.
Neoliberalism is “cheating”
Neoliberalism is “failing”
Neoliberalism is “bust”
Neoliberalism is “crisis-hit”
Neoliberalism is “Oversold?”
Neoliberalism is “where classrooms are being transformed into supermarkets” (bulk-funding)
Neoliberalism “hasn’t delivered economic growth”.
Neoliberalism has “left behind human wreckage and cost billions to clean up”
Neoliberalism has been busted last year by “the rich countries’ thinktank, the OECD, made a remarkable concession. It acknowledged that the share of UK economic growth enjoyed by workers is now at its lowest since the second world war. Even more remarkably, it said the same or worse applied to workers across the capitalist west.”
Neoliberalism is something where “Economists don’t talk like novelists, more’s the pity, but what you’re witnessing amid all the graphs and technical language is the start of the long death of an ideology.”

Yip yip fucking yahoo “the start of the long death of an ideology.”

Finally we are seeing that the neoliberal emperors have no clothes – and what a disgusting sight it is!

If there is such a photo, I would resign from my position as secretary of my local Skeptics Society. If there were such a photo, then it would be proof positive of the sort of political hypocrisy and political spin-doctoring expediency that I detest in New Zealand.

However, Mr Key could claim he had seen the “alleged” photo Martyn speaks of, but had completely forgotten about it. Could that be a “get out of jail free” moment Martyn? Defective memory hits us all from time to time, does it not?

Like not remembering a Springbok Tour stance, to prevent awkward silences in the rugby changing sheds after a win.

No. He said he had never smoked a cigarette before.
