'Virtue signalling' - still prevalent among those with performance and anger issues coupled with an internet connection.
(...and as opposed to 'Verjus signalling' which literally is 'sour grapes'!)'Impeachment' - obviously derived from the Imp every High Official has on Each shoulder, and the consequences of listening to the wrong one..

Many years ago the West Pyrenees Football team went to a swish Madrid hotel, they had never seen a revolving door before and all tried to go through at once - jamming the mechanism and crushing several players - this event lives on in the phrase 'Don't put all your Basques in the one exit'!*

Is it now time to curb the dangerous levels of bile and other toxic emissions spewing into our ears from the likes of of Hosking, Garner and Richardson (among others)? - using their now aptly titled 'Bully Pulpits'* to bully and belittle a 16 year old girl - who is merely asking the adults to look at what the adult scientists are saying, the fact that they are ashamed of their stance aside they deflect and derail,

Hard News: Dirty Politics, in reply to ,
“Cameron Slater’s mendacious, bullshit-ridden site has finally been shut down – and yet, somehow, the grift goes on, writes reformed blogger Danyl Mclauchlan”
It would have been better if Mclauchlan actually got Matt Blomfield's name right;
"There were long, detailed attacks on an obscure Auckland socialite, and a campaign against Matthew Bloomfield, a person of no obvious political relevance, who owned a Hell’s Pizza franchise. "
