In reply to yabby. It's not John's fault. He is symptomatic of the huge number of traitors in this country.

In reply to Ennui. Good on you. Too many victims of the Cultural Revolution of the 60's are voting for the destruction of their own people.

In reply to Ennui.

Ennui , yes…you’re observant as to the young with degrees and no jobs available for their expensive degrees to be paid off. It has been the same here since the 2008 big wall street bank meltdown here in the US. Precisely why the Occupy movement was started here, and spread like wildfire all over the globe. Your friends had better wake up to as you put it, “the elephant ” , as it will ruin the real estate. I’ll say this , read and think about my observations …the US along with the Brits- Aussies- Canadians and NZ are the 5EYES. There are far too many similarities of events going on between them, as though they are in lockstep. Key is an insider of the big banks…no secret that he worked for them. So he’s connected. Here we have a State Dept./CIA playbook that creates coups , and this has been going on for over 50 years. Look to the Ukraine …we did that mess , and are demonizing the Russians to deflect blame. We are a failing country… the 2 political parties are pretty much different only in name here. You’re lucky that there are at the least 4 choices the electorate has in NZ.

Refering to a group of people chanting – spontainiously mind – FJK at an event with a german new zealander being refered to as ‘nazi’ is not rascist but a Labour candidate of jewish origin refering to John Key as ‘Shylock’ is antisemetic (note the JEWISH origin of the referee! – though probably a bit of a dumb idea)? Could we please get some mirrors up so people can see themselves.

In 1966 we chanted Hey, Hey, LBJ
How many kids did you kill today?
We’ve waited so long for young people to find their voice.
I’ll be at tomorrow’s meeting in Dunedin and I’ll be the little
old woman shouting Fuck John Key.

I think the myth that John Key is beloved by NZers is fraying.

Bravo…excellent commentary, Chloe! With young people like you coming forward and expressing yourself so eloquently I know the world will be a much better place for my children than what they are being offered now…something I am very concerned about. Thank you!

In reply to Frank Macskasy.

Thanks for the link, Frank – maybe we should be asking what side was Guyon in ’81? Or can’t he remember either?

On a side note my husband is now – on the back of that ‘moaning report’, heard live- no longer listening to National (Party) radio. We cancelled out papers – dropping news sales/audiences?: maybe time to look at themselves!
