John is a full time teacher of maths and physics at a low decile school in Christchurch. The Greypower meeting was in the afternoon and during the school term. In physics apart from some strange quatum theory you learn you can’t be in two places at the same time. John was teaching. It’s done during the day. Reading and writing can be done in the evenings and weekends and of course during the holidays.

Does that help you understand

Note sure if was directed at me or not but If so, I am simply Dave although you did give me a good laugh.

Just go take a trip round the eastern half of town Dave, instead of keeping to your western half, where everything is sweet with their 2 nice new riccarton mall bus lounges, while easterners stand out in the wind rain and snow.

Those bus lounges were nothing but national party suck ups for brownlees ilam residents

Oh Aaron isn’t it, I realised your last non de plume was ADav on another site – you are Aaron who is Lianne’s campaign manager aren’t you? Does this sort of stuff concern you that the city has been ripped off by a big corporate?

Don’t hold your breath Donna it will never happen. Residents are tired and fed up and the council simply does not care.

Hi Dave you don’t seem to quite get the picture. John Minto is a full-time teacher of physics and maths at Hornby high school. He takes his job as a teacher very seriously and has senior students sitting exams in a few weeks. I am quite sure that you would be the first to complain if your kid’s teacher took time off for a debate when they are paid to be teaching. Murray Horton filled in admirably for him. As the Keep Our Assets convenor, Murray knows the issues and the six bold policies John is standing for extremely well. Do a little research before bothering to comment again.

John Minto not prioritising going to a Grey Power meeting in the day time is not just disgusting but heinous! Crime of the century stuff.

That is far worse than any corporate corruption and immorality in council business.

Hopefully Dave, now that you do not have a Grey Power meeting to attend to hear John Minto, you can spend the time following up on the issues he has raised. Or maybe you could spend the time out in the east helping some of those who have been treated like shit.

what lack of basic services are you talking about?
