The GCSB report is out this arvo - Key will no doubt play the victim of circumstance beyond his control/recollection.

Hard News: Key Questions, in reply to Paul Williams,
Thatcher was part of the driving force that deregulated financial markets opening the flood gates that released the wave Key surfed as a merchant banker stoner dude - Key would have worn Iron Maiden T Shirts under his suits in the 1980s thru to the 1990s – his homage to her greatness keeping the “Iron Maiden” close to his black, black heart.

Your appalling abuse of innocent apostrophes aside
My bad was editing down a longer post re "Fletcher's denial".
Operating outside the law was standard operating procedure - my view is that Key, Fletcher & even Ferguson would be in the know.
The Kim Dot Com saga has been precipitous.
To rebuild confidence in democracy and the office of both the Prime Minister and the GCSB - the GCSB needs to be rebuilt by someone other than an acquaintance shoulder tapped by the PM. The denial by Fletcher creates this opportunity.
Under both Labour and National GCSB have acted unlawfully - The GCSB and Prime Minister’s management (as mininster in charge) of the security interest of the nation needs to be far more accountable and have regard to the law.
Part of the initiative for the Kitteridge report is to prepare the ground for Key in setting up the defence - That they (Labour/Clark) did it too – it isn’t good enough – it is criminal.
Key's fall back brainfade position has become so overused it is purely bullshit - Key should resign and there should be consquences for Clark.

We have Kim Dot Com to thank for challenging the machinery of govt that lead to the revelation that there are up to 85 cases of illegal spying by the NZ Govt since 2003 - involving both the Key and Clark governments..

Although Key can't remember anything - should GCSB head Ian Fletcher's have to resign over his comments earlier in the year that GCSB had not unlawfully spied on any NZ Residents or Citizen's other than KIm Dotcom?

Cosmic - Key is accused of smoking Dope as Thatcher, likely one of Key's Idols, exits.

Goes some way to explaining the brain fade - perpetual short-term memory loss - a dope head in a suit.

To quote myself
On the "Oh Grow up" side of things - goings on in the house yesterday were telling:

Bleah - John Key - infantile - David Carter - dense.
The management of the economy and the country as a "whole"(or should that be "hole it is about to become") - has been set aside as the government pursue items of special interest to themselves - Conventions Centres and selling stuff, etc, etc, etc..
Talking to a friend who knows things and looking at Education and the way Auckland is going to grow - there is apparently nothing in the planning pipeline to address the growth in Auckland Schools rolls as regards - you know the big stuff like buildings, spaces to put those buildings and staffing levels.
Shearer, who is effectively Key's main opponent, hasn’t done the opposition cause much good – with the bank account issue he has effectively tarred himself with Keys brush.
I see Key and National getting a third term – that will create a problem in that it will be entrenched in the fabric of society that the only people (class of people) who will have access to a comprehensive range of services as regards health and education will be the wealthy, successful professionals and those connected to the major political parties – everyone else will be left fighting for diminishing “resources”.
Key's behaviour makes it hard to respect the office of Prime Minster - it is hard to work out whether Key is a dum arse who attempts to make wise cracks or a smart arse that makes dum cracks.
Either way Key comes across to me as witless, unaware and self absorbed..

Was meant to be somewhere else.

The mystery is that, inspite of it all, National and John Key look likely to get a third term.

Hard News: Violence in the streets, in reply to Chris Miller,
Anyone who doesn't think this shit happens needs to get their head out of their arse.
Agreed and and those that justify this shit need to stick there heads back up there and stay home - Warrior Culture as an excuse nonsense - it is not the way of the warrio - these pope were not warriors.

Up Front: Oh, Grow Up, in reply to Geoff Lealand,
My thinking was more along the lines of the teaching of Basic Psychology including Communcaition Styles, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Rational Thinking adn linking this to practical aspects such goal setting, problem solving etc.
Not Philosophy as such or the Philsophy of the Mind - the mind body question.
