Saw the PMs Covid-19 briefing today.
She's doing a fine job, but from the party that brought you the 40hour week. I found it interesting that her praise for cleaners was in working 13hour days for the Police.
It says alot about the Police that they encourage this working environment and how far left the Labour Party are that they reward it.
I've got a collection of poems entitled "The 70 hour working week". The short story is I ended up in the Hillmorton Hotel and I can't fault their service. I'm working on publishing soon.
Labour isn't the workers party. I looked to the Greens but find them mostly silent, at least to my emails. -
Thank you Michelle,
I recently lost my Mum to cancer at New Year's and am glad it didn't happen at this time. It's a scary time with a few other family with compromised health.
I'm on Billy Bragg's Facebook page. He's called those open economy crew "Covid Collaborators".
All the best.

Hard News: Together Alone, in reply to Simon Armstrong,
True that and what we did to Samoa 22% death rate due to indifference towards the captured colony amounts to a war crime.

I was interested to see the Hokianga checkpoints.
My concern isn't so much the legality so much as the cowboy nature of the stops.
To keep the checkpoint crew safe, you should reduce the speed of the traffic, and some safety distance from the cars coming up behind should be a meter.
I haven't seen a Traffic Management plan for checkpoints and the Police standards use patrol cars with flashing lights and are short in duration.
Plenty of Maori are STMSs, these checkpoints look as safe as Mike King getting the chainsaw stuck in the tree on One Tree Hill. -
Hard News: Together Alone, in reply to linger,
Fair enough the virus will dictate the response, but I don't see any need to creep into a dystopian authoritarian government any time soon.
-
But it won't be needed to be extended.
The government has an 88% approval rating on their handling of the Crisis and in September an election to ride the wave of support.
Although they have the power they will also have the wisdom that they will achieve more with out using it. -
I've noticed the rise in Economic Eugenics. Hooten & Morgan seem to be the chief cheerleaders in a truly grotesque dance of death.
Sacrificing our loved ones. I suspect in Morgan's case feverish anticipation of inherentance windfall that intergenerational transfer of wealth. I have no proof of this, it seems consistent with his current position.
Stay safe out there đź‘Ť -
Hard News: Together Alone, in reply to Neil,
I fear this is a group of wing nut Drs, more fearful in the drop of student numbers and therefore their jobs than the health of the community.
Especially that they had no models to back up their position. -
I was concerned to hear talk of an alternate approach being put forward by a group of academics.
Doing a little search Dr Thornley is an epidemiologist in fat people and sugar.
I feel this should have been made clear when interviewing on RNZ this morning, not quite apples to apples.
