Now at this stage of the blog, you’ll give me the benefit of the doubt and charitably agree that some might concede Brash’s words were harsh and bordering on a kind of bigotry, but then quickly assert that doesn’t mean Brash shouldn’t have the right to express those opinions and nor do those opinions even closely amount to Brash being evil and will challenge me that my use of such a word is hyperbole on my behalf and that by throwing around a word like that so needlessly, I am in fact being as counter productive as the woke protestors who rushed his stage and doesn’t this just all make me a hypocrite?
No. I don’t need nor require your benefit of the doubt.
No. It doesn’t mean he has a ‘right’ to those opinions.
Yes. The word evil is entirely appropriate.
No. The Woke Left be cray cray and I’m not cray cray.
Don. Brash.Is.Evil.
EVERY TIME the Prime Minister and the Minister of Finance address the “Business Community” I wince. It’s painful to watch these two abase themselves in the way they do. As if their endless protestations of good will and their oft-repeated promise to “listen” will make the slightest difference. The Business Community is acutely aware that there is nothing with more potential to cause them harm than a left-wing government. If it cannot be tamed, then it must be broken.
As a Green voter, I feel like a Blues fan.

Unionists the world over have been victims of the lack of free speech in societies run by and for the wealthy 1%.

In July 2017, Willie Jackson gave a speech at the very same Rotary Club Don Brash did his Orewa Speech, to respond directly to Brash’s speech 13 years earlier. Using the leaked emails in Nicky Hager’s ‘Hollow Men’, it remains one of the best take downs of the true Brash agenda.
The 1980s were such unenlightened times. The appalling events of that era could never happen in the Aotearoa-New Zealand of 2018. Our health and safety laws simply wouldn’t permit it!
There is a fascinating dynamic we are staring to see with increasingly militant members of Unions wanting far more than their Unions are able to negotiate.
Please Allah, drain all the electric bikes of their battery power and food poison the tofu so the Woke Left are too ill or without transport to arrive and make this worse.
