The Daily Blog Open Mic – 12th December 2025

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.

Is someone going through the law courts for the umpteenth time?
No it is some scale-up project to build a rubbish collection service to amass so many different areas that it can be sold as a branch or franchise to world-wide Rubbish Central owned by some Mr Bigg on some island in the Caribbean.
When we should have little mini rounds within cities which employ the young unemployed , and which will ensure that those people get a decent unemployment benefit and the option of technical training short courses that can build up to more certification. Goods like hope, socialisation, busyness, feeling of worth and helping society and themselves. . Sorry to bore you with my hopeful ideas all of which are dud compared to the new modern machine-run machine-worker nirvana

Lazy image from RNZ instead of showing the bed which is the main point the image if of The Warehouse building. I feel that there’s deliberate negatives about The Warehouse compared to other big stores. Just an impression of the media I see.
