  1. Just a thought
    Are the participants in ‘The Project’ aware that this shit of a programme is the ultimate in self-indulgence and self-promtion.

    I know how hard it must be to put on the lycra and bike up the hill to Flowers Street (or wherever the fuck) after a stint on RNZ, but this is is ultimate in formulaic crap.
    Jesse must have a bloody big mortgage to pay.

    Christ how I’d love to be in charge of the ‘applause button’.
    Cool! as they (he’s) prone to say.
    Moving on
    next next next – you’ve had your 2 rehearsed questions

    (News? delivered differently on +hr=e) that’s pronounced ‘three’ btw, going forward, as a matter of fek, ekshully, aha ha ha ha ha

  3. I notice The Political Compass is given another airing over at TS.
    Of course there is no 2017 NZ as yet.
    I’m hoping that while the bubble are busy testing themselves and trying to prove their credentials, they haven’t forgotten the fact that they’re coming from their various positions of relative comfort, and that the missing million and others doing it tuff are seeing things from an entirely different perspective.
    That compass is actually quite interesting but I’m not sure how relevant it will be in determining where an electorate stands and how to win an election.
    One can be a little bit “authoritarian” presumably if the collective greater good trounces the self/individualist, or if there’s a belief that ‘the market the market’ might need a little regulation here and there.
    NZ First is probably in the upper left quadrant on the basis of its stance on traditional ideas of sovereignty and the nation(singular)-state, and it’ll surprise many.
    The only reason I can suppose ACT hasn’t reached the extreme UPPERRIGHT position is that they’re not yet getting round in brown shirts

  4. Not the neoMcCarthyist mainstream media…but the story they won’t touch…and won’t go away !

    … so maybe the Russians didn’t do the DNC hack and spoil crooked Hillary ‘s chances?…maybe it was inside ethical leaks from within the corrupted Democratic Party?

    ‘Seth Rich’

    https://www.rt.com/shows/crosstalk/390027-seth-rich-wikileaks-russia/

    “On July 10, 2016, DNC staffer Seth Rich was murdered in Washington D.C. Was Rich the source who provided Wikileaks with the DNC’s internal emails? Some have speculated that this is the reason for his murder. If true, what becomes of the mantra “Russia did it?”

    CrossTalking with Hank Sheinkopf, H. A. Goodman, and Alex Christoforou.”

    …and intrepid reporters on the case:
