Hard News: The perils of political confidence, in reply to Steve Barnes,
kick 'em in the tests...
I can’t think of a policy more likely to cause an instant spike in crime than to put people who not only haven’t got a job, but now are even more unlikely to get one, and who have a drug habit to support, to have no means to support themselves.
It does tally with National's vigorous attempts to grow the Private Prison Industry - along with Mr Key's promise to make our streets and communities safer purely by creating more police - no thought of addressing the causes of criminal behaviour...
Can private police on the street be far away?

There is a 'pursed slips' element to it all, lip readers aside they should have got a signer, to make sure it would all fall on deaf eyes...
Defies belief really...
I wish the media would get back to parsing policy and quit with first pass the purse... -

'chimps tea-party'. But that could
be taken as a bit ad hominem......or possibly add hominid

Has anyone called this the cuppa hacker scandal yet?
or even The Mad Chatters Tea Party?

Blandish mince...
Key sure can under-sell himself - Just heard him on the radio
saying that everyone would realise any conversation he had
with John Banks would be pretty bland... what happened to
that Dynamic World he bestrides and lives in?
Is that the future we want for our country, bland people
spiceless and spineless with weak white-bread policies?
Hollow men indeed! -
The Chchch City Council is, as usual, sending mixed messages - they are now not being particularly helpful with Ceismic's Quake Box Project - they just don't seem to get the fact that if they're not part of the solution (and recovery), they are part of the problem...
