Labour leadership

[sidecar bob]

"broken arse white trash loser who can't tie his own shoelaces" does not describe either Cunliffe, Shearer, Goff, Helen Clark or any of their likely or potential successors.

Love is blind, they say, but hate is more so.

I would rather have someone who cares about people and our environment rather than some lizard-man who might not even be human who is only here to rape our economy to benefit a few of his rich mates.

See? it works both ways.

Sorry, I got the impression he wanted a poor working class prime minister. That wouldnt be a real good look.

I think we've only ever had one of those, and it was Norman Kirk.

As I recall he was the one that thought it was a great idea to import thousands of Pacific Islanders for the employee shortage in South Auckland at the time.

He is a sorry left wing looser, plenty more were he come from.
only chance for labour is a female leader with balls

I have no idea - before my time. But clearly the man was a visionary because think how shit your rugby team would be with only white dudes in it.

Yeah and didn't he turn out to be a rabid wife beater? ... News at the time!

He had a rabid wife? I didnt think he was jewish...

Id rather have a smart well heeled self made millionare running the country, rather than a broken arse white trash loser that cant tie his own shoelaces.

Interesting how he made his millions.

I'm one of the 700 000 " could not be bothered getting of their arse to vote" types.

I think you will find that Michael Joseph Savage, Peter Fraser and Walter Nash were all working class men ...

Robert Muldoon also came from what might be described as working class background ... (from a Staunch socialist family too ...)

From what I know of key's background, it wasn't what you would call affluent.
State house boy, no?

Out of shit most of us dont understand, but certainly not from drug dealing or protection rackets then.
I have no problem with that. I doubted it would be from flipping burgers or a lawn mowing round.

It may be called the ' independant media centre ' but it sure as hell is biased. I take about as much notice of that stuff as I do of Cam Slater & Whale oil , Bottom feeders pushing their own barrow
Pretty sure that there was an investigation into all those goings on, all dodgy as but JK came out clean . There was no direct link between him & the shonky shit. Possibly more good luck & fortuitous timing than good management as I recall.

Seems to me unbiased investigative journalism is dead in this country.

Nicky Hager wants a word with you.

A state house boy, yes - but he went straight to university and his first job was in business. More like Upwardly mobile lower middle class ...

[trustme]

Nicky Hager is exactly what I am on about. He published a book based around stolen emails & gave none of targets of his book the right of reply. Where is the balance in that .
Clark called him ' a sanctimonious little creep ' after corn gate .
I do not take him seriously, he is not an unbiased investigative journalist , he twists facts to suit whichever political barrow he is currently pushing.
