On Mike the Moron and handling infectious diseases
Five days ago, Mike Hosking (now known as Mike the Moron) was in full display with his levels of basic ignorance and blatant stupidity. Of course there are the characteristics of a radio jerkoff. But even so, his self-interested rant then that included such waffle…

Burning Bridges
Poor Simon! An obscure National Party list MP has accidentally confirmed that there are now rumours regarding a leadership spill. Brett Hudson is the MP in question. No, I'd never heard of him either. Hudson has put it out there that there are people suggesting…

Relentless negativity
Twelve years ago I recall the moment that I thought the fifth Labour Government's chicken was cooked. It was when Key managed to front a change to the anti smacking bill. The bill was in a difficult situation. On one side was Sue Bradford with…

Covid-19: Back home again
Way back in 2007, after 8-9 years of mostly developing a product from home and supervising programmers remotely, I went off to work at a workplace. Frankly I was getting bored with the network layer, working with remote customers and on remote servers. So I…

The right become socialists as Covid-19 bites
Clearly it is a time to put ideology aside. The right, elements of which have thought the best thing to do to the state is weaken it that badly that they could then drown it in a bathtub, are rethinking and now realise that a…

Different responses to the Covid virus pandemic
The right, typically, think that the best response, after making an absolute pig's ear of the situation, is to try and buy a vaccine. Not for everyone's benefit, only for your own people, presumably excluding illegals. Yes this actually happened. https://twitter.com/amanbatheja/status/1239177184536862721 Trump's handling of the…

Covid-19 and a digital democracy
Government has for the last decade been pushing for as many government services as possible to be primarily accessed digitally rather than face-to face. Funnily enough, the one public service they forgot to push to digital is themselves. Now's the time Trevor. Since Parliament is…

Covid-19 – a political problem
