    If you knew the book she liked you would know: how she was and what she liked ... Hint it was about economics ......

    As for Enoch Powell , having read that speech a few times , I know what he is driving at , but England is and always will be a place where you are free to come and practice your religion , Huguenot in the 1700s ..poles now , England has never been made up of white Celtic protestants/ even Anglo Saxons are from across the ditch

    Finally on saying All of that I wouldn’t live in England now, as the economics of the new right , have made a country of have and have nots and you need according to The round-tree foundation 680 pounds a week to break even ....well done Margret and New Labour

    In the tourist trade it is the English middle to uppper class that for us are one of our biggest customers.The majority fear what the country has become.They are as disolusioned as we. They are fucking scared shittless by the thugs & the drugs & a country thats only a shooting away from riots on any day. If you think the right wing'll stop that, youre dreaming...it'll lead to a revolution, a red revolution where everyone will have to drink Velluto Rosso.
    They have raped & pillaged across the globe for centuries , look where its got them.
    But before we forget, this thread is about NZ

    That is why on paper I will own nothing when I retire so the government will treat me the same as the bludgers and the ones that has pissed their money away.

    In Germany, if you own any assets @ the time of retirement & want a pension, then you have to sell them all & have to live off that money before the state will help...

    They have raped & pillaged across the globe for centuries , look where its got them.
    But before we forget, this thread is about NZ
    As ive said many times before its not left or right , green blue , but a style of economics and ideology , ( I mean NEW Labour !!) that leave Most of us in a squeezed position , for want of a better word.
    The revolution IS happening NOW , those inner city , housing estates are very interesting places to live. The ones that can afford move away or into protected areas ( gated communities ) ..all because of a non egalitarian economic ideal. ( from the ticket clippers in Chicago )

    Ive often view NZ as 15 years behind Britain , so some disquiet may happen ,,,I wouldn’t be surprised if it did or didn’t.

    The Main point is; A style of economic theory is running amok and will cause great stress for the average person , It doesn’t need to be like that and shouldn’t be like that

    How we get back to what we had ,

    See my list; ( the one I posted before ) and shun consumerism. buy once , good quality, repairable, and start enjoying having less .....

    We might even have to default on the loan. But at the very least we should stop borrowing ( YOU AND I , private debt )

    And if it is not in your name then no you don't.
    Why do you think that trusts sprung up why they started means testing everyone?

    We are (maybe not you) in a country that survives by exports so to get the trade deal we have to open our borders up to overseas.
    Now I for one do not agree with this and will try and buy NZ made when I can, It has to be good quality.

    I have seen in under 30 years basically everything be made off shore now.

    Take my line of work.
    Back when I was an apprentice there was a company of around 100 making cranes from scratch.
    One person can now do the same job as it can be imported cheaper than made here so it is only assembly work now.

    I also buy NZ

    Well I may as well be, like Brian said we're behind the times...
    Was it the Nats or Labour that put the "Buy NZ Made " labelling attempt ( a Green initiative) to rest?
    Probably has (had )something to do with trade deals

    No that wasnt directed at you Mr D,I have way more respect for you 'cause you ride a bike Bro...
