Polity: Protesting too much: responses…, in reply to Russell Brown,
Rob does data and strategic work. His main client is the Labour Party.
To be fair, that sounds a little like "David Farrar does polling work. His main client is the National Party"

I rather hope Christopher was trying for the sarcastic irony thing.

Hard News: The CRL and the nature of change, in reply to Jim Cathcart,
This is an inescapable reality.
It's only inescapable in your private reality, Jim. Debt is not a zero-sum game and English has added more public debt than we've ever had before, despite tax cuts.

Hard News: The CRL and the nature of change, in reply to Bart Janssen,
Courtesy of the Key tax cuts, and the subsequent cutting of spending in order to be able to afford those tax cuts.
Actually, it is policy-driven, more than economics. Because they were going to do this (and other cuts), they knew they could afford the tax cut vote winner promise.

Hard News: Radio being made, in reply to Rob Stowell,
But remembering watching eg Kim Hill interviewing, I don't know if that's a good idea either. KH is amazing to watch - her face races with ideas and emotions, her body-language fast and twitchy.
It's fascinating being interviewed by her. You really have to focus on what it is you want to say. ;-)

Hard News: Dirty Politics, in reply to Alfie,
Bwahaha!
Despite the comments from the bench, both Henderson and Hide are far from conceding. The pair advanced opinions to the Herald that some of their arguments were so powerful it was not necessary for a mere associate judge to talk about them.
Zing! Kudos to Matt for such an insightful explanation. The main point I take is that you really don't want Hide as a supporter.

Hard News: Bowie, in reply to Sofie Bribiesca,
Who's david Bowie. Is he anyone to do with the Bowie knife
No body knew.A friend of a friend on FB noted that she'd never really been into Bowie, but she knew who he was - she'd listened to her mum's records #ouch

Hard News: Bowie, in reply to David Hood,
And this animation is just sweet as a follow on as well http://www.openculture.com/2014/09/david-bowie-brian-enos-collaboration-on-warszawa-reimagined-in-comic-animation.html
Awesome! Actual LOL. "No way! I've done two takes. Stuff it up your bum!"

Hard News: Bowie, in reply to Russell Brown,
I don't enjoy the show's format at the best of times and I turned it off fairly quickly today.
Yeah, I'm the same, so I didn't bother. Shame, it could be good, but somebody removed adult supervision a few seasons ago and it's all too self-indulgent now.

Hard News: Bowie, in reply to Sacha,
Prime TV are re-running the David Bowie: Five Years doco at 8.30pm tonight.
Thanks for that. Saw this in time and the DVR is on. Vodafone/Sky still says it's Leonard Cohen, but it's recording and that's what matters.
