The Daily Blog Open Mic – 31st October 2023
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.
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.

The prosecutor said the teenager, who police had under surveillance following the killing, had also confessed to the killing to a cousin and a girlfriend…
Supported by family in the public gallery he appeared attentive throughout proceedings and could be seen passing notes to his lawyers….
The trial is set down for four weeks.
Four expensive weeks on something obvious; the guilt needs to be shared, not apportioned – that would take a day’s hearing probably.
Good doco on Covid 19 and Siouxsie Wiles. But I think it is likely to stir up more abject followers of fashion in the badmouthing hate game at the end. Restraint in pointing out others lack of it and just plain asininity – less is more I think. Amazing to watch and such an admirable person, why wouldn’t NZ knuckledraggers not want to badmouth her.
