Announce protest actions, general chit chat or give your opinion on issues we haven’t covered for the day.
Moderation rules are more lenient for this section, but try and play nicely.
EDITORS NOTE: – By the way, here’s a list of shit that will get your comment dumped. Sexist language, homophobic language, racist language, anti-muslim hate, transphobic language, 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.
And what do you expect when the nasty underbelly of our country is threatening and abusing her. NZ is showing we are still a very patriarchal country with many of those abusing Jacinda being white men. In the meantime the rich white business men are in the background providing the money and resources to try and take our PM down. I hear the angry Pakeha men talking on the radio talk back shows many of them sounds uneducated and ill informed and the stuff that comes out of their mouths is just plain nasty. And this nasty treatment of our women leaders and politicians is not new its been going on way before Jacinda they use to attack Helen.
I am astounded at the misogyny, the playground name-calling and the refusal to accept facts. More than 6,000 Covid cases today, and a bunch of non-testing fuckwits soon to be taking a virus home with them. We should 501 the lot of them to Florida.
My partner and I were keen to go and have a look at the protest but I said we might have to take our boxing gloves with us.

Oh dear the great investors out in the big world can’t handle anything that isn’t a house someone else wants to buy and that is going up in value by 1% a month. Chest thumping stuff.

No sanctions please. These have brought Russia down before and created further sense of insecurity between them and USA. It also hurt our trade with Russia. We can’t live as wildly and extravagantly as the USA where the money tree grows, and the hot winds blow (hot air anyway).
