Hard News: The War Stories, in reply to Henare,
And the blokes who fought in the desert campaigns-
one of the utterly inglorious things about the WW1 campaign is what happened to the horses.
My blown-to-bits greatuncle Peter took his horse to war. Neither of them came back.
Bad enough BUT
-there was - I understand - a deliberate decision, made on financial grounds, not to repatriate ANZ horses-
hate pollies?
O Yes! I do! -

Hard News: Thatcher, in reply to Angus Robertson,
The union movement did not flounder through the 80s, they worked very hard to achieve the election of the 4th Labour government. And then they supported it.

Hard News: Media3: Panic or Peril?, in reply to BenWilson,
<q> really don’t think this is the first moment in human history that we’ve been exposed to smut. Practically every discussion I had with other boys from the age of 11 through to 14 was on every aspect of sexuality we could imagine. I bet this wasn’t much different 20,000 years ago, with the main difference being that we’d probably be fathers a few years later.

I mean – SERIOUSLY MATES!
What do you actually understand about human reproduction???
Annnnd- the need to record the occaision?

And yep, I'm a pensioner. All appreciated - and all stuff the Labour Party & the Women's Movement fought for-BUT
