Hard News: Art with a job to do, in reply to llew40,
Given a choice between conspiracy or cock-up, I always think the more likely is the omnishambles (as George so adroitly put it)
Nothing wrong with seeing it as a cocked-up conspiracy. Alex did say " attempted manufactured consent".

Hard News: Art with a job to do, in reply to Alec Morgan,
the flag fiasco seems a text book example of attempted manufactured consent
This.

Hard News: Public Address Word of the…, in reply to Bart Janssen,
Really? No love for CampbellLive?
Given huge support here and throughout NZ I thought it was a good suggestion
It is, but were still only at the suggesting stage, not the voting stage.

Disappointingly, Lorde did not then go on to record a hit single caled ‘Berm’.
There's still time.

At times I seem to be the only person who always thought Oasis were crap, and I wouldn't piss on Noel Gallagher to put out a fire. That said, I'm not rushing out to buy Adele either.

Hard News: Change for the Better, in reply to Russell Brown,
Come to think of it, I suppose there would be insane arguments for doing so …
As many YouTube videos from nutbar mountain bikers testify.

What do you do at those times?
This is the sanest argument I know for having a GoPro on top of your helmet to record the license, the action and the driver for later complaint to police. Unless complaints are made, and in quantity, leading to convictions, nothing will change.

Hard News: The Police Ten 7 State, in reply to Russell Brown,
The official Police statement released in the past hour. Incredible.
Call me a grammar nazi, but I find the use of "Police" as a singular noun in this release disturbing. Also the capitalisation. It may seem picky, but goes to state of mind, m'lud.

Hard News: The Police Ten 7 State, in reply to Craig Ranapia,
This is the really bewildering thing. You'd think the Police of all people would welcome sound research informing evidence-based policy that works. OK, will it contain things that are hard to hear or politically embarrassing? Damn near certainly, but this is where you put on your blue serge grown-up pants, deal with it and get on with your job.
Evidence doesn't get them the funding they want.
