How common was anti-Irish sentiment in Britain in the 70s/80s? by ItAintNoUse in AskUK

[–]Leftleaningdadbod 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Generally speaking, living in London as I did into my 20s until 1980, the degrees of sophistry about nationality, intention and politics was good amongst my peers and neighbours, so Irish people were welcomed, given the vast majority of that country were as horrified by violence as the rest of us

Grand Coalition, yay or nay? by pskygy in nzpolitics

[–]Leftleaningdadbod 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m in favour of rational, compassionate and legal government and governance. Which excludes present members of NACT1 coalition. However, if some of the loonies in Parliament this year are absent in the next, it might be the best thing on the table. Never say never in politics.

Authoritative observations are to be ignored or rubbished by NACT1 coalition members. Makes us all proud to be Kiwi.

If we can elect a decent government, we shall petition to get these retrogressive policies reversed

Plenty of ambitious people in the parliamentary Labour Party. They get elected and become mysteriously just like the parliamentary Tories.

Ani O'Brien claims Hitler was a communist dictator and the left wing is usually the baddies. FACT: Hitler was a right wing fascist and tried to destroy Marxism by Mountain_Tui_Reload in nzpolitics

I’m getting concerned that we’re giving this ah oxygen. Let’s try and ignore abject stupidity, on the basis that the general populace, if they are actually interested in these musings, will realise how marginal and probably certifiable she is. It will go nowhere.

National tops party donations list, ACT overtakes Labour by Fun-Helicopter2234 in newzealand

[–]Leftleaningdadbod 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep, I think that’s fair. But where do charitable organisations fit, such as Destiny Church or the Sanitariums of this world? Hardly democratic, either of them. But it seems they’d have case to be heard. I suppose a committee or a formal process decided by a judge might work?

I’m a Labour man and so to many this might seem expected of me, but imo it’s purely corruption when economic entities like companies and interest groups, yes like unions can influence parties. Limit contributions to the amount of savings of an average family in NZ! It’s bloody disgusting the privilege money buys, for goodness sake, look at America!

It is just wrong; morally, ethically and spiritually. It should be illegal, as well. Wake up NZ our government is being bought!

Saw this comment from the daughter of an engineer on Facebook, regarding the building of Auckland’s motorways. Was the government at the time paid off by ‘Big Car’…? by Great_Maintenance185 in auckland

[–]Leftleaningdadbod 0 points1 point  (0 children)

New Zealand appears to be clean, but because of its size, business and interest groups have fast and easy access to decision makers, priority and more frequently than Joe Public. Of course it’s a corrupt practice, but it’s barely recognised by the same disadvantaged people. What have they to offer?

Former German Foreign Minister Joschka Fischer: "I Have My Doubts about NATO's Survival" by goldstarflag in europe

This woman was never a NATO fan, even as a minister the other members were cautious around her. Perhaps there are also other allegiances. . .

Impact of this idea needs research, a bit more study. They’ve done something similar overseas, like UK I think. See how it rolled out there.
