The Daily Blog Open Mic – 12th February 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.
The Salvation Army’s State of the Nation report released today provides sobering reading, but no surprise to people living out in the real world.
Violence against children right here in New Zealand has risen, with the number of children hospitalised from assault and neglect, the highest since 2014.
Food security and affordable homes have worsened over the past year, and 32% of New Zealanders have been victims of crime. This figure is almost certainly higher, as many crimes go unreported. Even then 32% is an appalling figure, well over a quarter of the population.
Trying to remember what this government promised to do for for the populace, is a challenge. The child abuse figures alone show that in one tragic area where we have long been bad, we are now worse. Unacceptable.
About fukking time. It’s taken a while for you to get off your polished seat warmer chuff eh Kev in that exploitation space, going forwid. Still, thank Heavens for small mercies – at least Megs was shunted [chose to shunt herself] sideways before things got too embarrassing:
