And when the right say they are better than the left, the evidence is overwhelmingly the opposite.

Although this isn’t a lesson for the left, it’s a lesson in te reo. When the KCs emailed two people, you might have thought they would have used the correct plural. It kind of undermines the rest of the letter.

I think young to middle-aged Labour-lights have been infected by what’s in this Queen song.
So they must cure themselves for Lent before they have lent all that we have to people and corpse that will never give it back. I should coco.

I WANT IT ALL – Queen
https://genius.com/Queen-i-want-it-all-lyrics
Songwriters: Brian May / Freddie Mercury / John Deacon / Roger Taylor

Adventure seeker on an empty street
Just an alley creeper, light on his feet
A young fighter screaming, with no time for doubt
With the pain and anger can’t see a way out
It ain’t much I’m asking, I heard him say
Gotta find me a future move out of my way

I want it all, I want it all, I want it all, and I want it now
I want it all, I want it all, I want it all, and I want it now

Listen all you people, come gather round
I gotta get me a game plan, gotta shake you to the ground
But just give me, huh, what I know is mine
People do you hear me, just gimme the sign
It ain’t much I’m asking, if you want the truth
Here’s to the future for the dreams of youth

I want it all (give it all I want it all)
I want it all (yeah)
I want it all and I want it now
I want it all (yes I want it all)
I want it all hey
I want it all and I want it now

I’m a man with a one track mind
So much to do in one lifetime (people do you hear me)
Not a man for compromise and where’s and why’s and living lies
So I’m living it all, yes I’m living it all
And I’m giving it all, and I’m giving it all

Oh oh yeah yeah ha ha ha ha ha
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
I want it all

It ain’t much I’m asking, if you want the truth
Here’s to the future
Hear the cry of youth (hear the cry of youth) (hear the cry of youth)
I want it all, I want it all, I want it all and I want it now
I want it all yeah yeah yeah
I want it all, I want it all and I want it now
Oh oh oh oh oh…

Wake up Labour from your eminent position ‘high in the instep’ as they used to say in early 1800s which is where we’ll reverse to soon. Stop looking at your navels, you may find they turn into oranges and while you are frazzled you will be trumped by the USA orange one grown to pumpkin size.

Nathan – although I agree that Harris is a brain-free ex-mediocre voted-in lawyer from a leftist state who was only AG and VP for DEI reasons, Clinton was a far better candidate than Arkansas Bill and a good Secretary of State. Her mistake was hubris in calling hard-working poor people déplorables. I wouldn’t have voted for her in any universe but she was an excellent candidate IMHO.

One thing the left (especially the Greens) could modify is the school principal lecturing style that makes people turn off or deliberately do the opposite.

Could not agree with you more Darien. The rest is white noise and is obfuscating the real issues which are equal distribution of wealth, the human right to housing, food security, transportation.
