  1. ‘Iraq war ‘was illegal,’ Blair’s former deputy acknowledges’

    https://www.rt.com/uk/350449-iraq-war-illegal-prescott/

    “The 2003 invasion of Iraq was illegal, Lord Prescott, former deputy prime minister to Tony Blair has admitted, adding that he would live with the “catastrophic consequences” of this decision for the rest of his life.
    “In 2004, the UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan said that as regime change was the prime aim of the Iraq War, it was illegal. With great sadness and anger, I now believe him to be right,” Lord Prescott wrote in a Sunday Mirror column, the confession coming shortly after Sir John Chilcot’s report into the lead-up to the war was unveiled…

    WHILE ‘Labours’ housing policy’ – it seems the whole energy of the Labour Party thrust for a ‘game changer’ only seemed to deal with housing while all other issues were left unattended sadly.

    It Andrew can now turn his ‘critical applications’ of “Game changer policy” to getting labour’s own ‘Kiwirail moving the freight again’ we would be much more impressed as their opposition parties are advocating Greens, & NZ FIRST.

    As of now everyone who travels on our single lane roads today knows full well, that there is a glaring issue that confronts everyone is we have such dangerous road transport issues all over this country now that even AA’s General Manager Mike Noonan on RNZ this morning is advocating for more ‘slow bays’ which wont do much except speed up cars/trucks and kill even more of us!!!!

    With truck gridlocked roads so dangerous that every day a truck crashes or kills other road users, as happened again this morning again at Thames when a pick up and a truck collided on highway 2 see coverage only on http://www.stuff.co.nz/national/81959563/one-dead-after-ute-and-truck-collide-on-hauraki-plains http://www.police.govt.nz/news/release/fatal-crash-waikato

    1. +100 CLEANGREEN…well said

      …not only is there a safety and cost issue

      ….there is also a Green tourist bike issue

      ….many tourists want to bike slowly around New Zealand and appreciate its beauty…but take their lives in their own hands when confronting huge trucks competing with them for road space

      …New Zealand under jonkey nact is losing tourist dollars because roads for trucks takes precedence over tourism
