EZ, you got me send hat letter to key re TTPA

Dr Clark has sent me a few emails since

Today andrew himself sent me one asking me to email key and say I was a REAL person (something to do with healthy homes). Apparently in keys eyes REAL people don't sign emails generated by Labour.

Labour use some relatively expensive software to manage all this stuff

I once had hope that theConservatives could take that radical centrist positioning.

Alas not to be

Hi W69, no problem, they are very quick to reply to, and I just delete the requests for funds and to repost all over the social media. Often the big lists do seem to get National to change their ideas. The software is a lot cheaper than sending out mail, and they are still short of funds.

Here's a list of hot potatoes National MPs have at the moment. Apparently Nick Smith took the press over some empty paddocks to show them some of the new housing acreage. Except it wasn't govt land at all, it has a private landowner. He just makes stuff up.

Time to reintroduce Margaret Thatcher's great quote which has turned out so true in Greece, Argentina, Venezuela...and if Labour got back in again. New Zealand.

“The problem with socialism is that you eventually run out of other people’s money.”

Funny MVT its actually what extreme capitalism has brought about in regards governments bailing out banks around the world & privatizing trillions of debt. And its National that have had the most consecutive years of not returning a surplus & who is 2nd, well its National again. They make claims that are just are not true about being good fiscal managers, when they have a dire record. It was Savage that bought NZ through the depression after the excesses of the 1920s. Muldoon almost broke NZ, and Key is heading down a similar path with a massive accumulation of debt under his watch. Muldoon had "Think Big", Keys mantra should be "Think short term" & stuff the rest.

It is a great quote as its funny & witty, however currently a long way from the truth in NZ or most of Europe, the US or Japan that are all indebted up to their eyeballs. In fact the leading light in regards government reserves is China a communist state, not that I'm an advocate of that.

That also applies to the US and UK both with massive overseas borrowings.

EZ, your friend Jacinda just asked me for help now.

seems once you support one cause you automatically support every cause.

not that good targeted communication, just too easy

might rejoin just to see what happens, a case study in how to disengage punters.

ps: Are you still going to emigrate if Labour gets in? Do you have anywhere in mind?

[Daytr]

Maybe try getting on a boat to Australia. I hear they will pay for the return voyage.

W69, I just sign everything they send through as long as I mildly agree with it or better, because they're able to poke the borax at the govt with these petitions. It has been helpful in generating some funds too, apparently.

The economy is on a downwards spiral, let's see Bill English get us out of this one. Maybe he'll have to come up with some policy.

Dairy farmers have a new rule for this year, they're not buying any new capital items. They'll buy in extra feed and look after their cows when they have to, but they'll try hard to stave off other costs that can be delayed or dropped. The couriers are swooping through the provinces on their runs and not getting many pickups, printing services are quiet, advertising hoardings are not being leased, etc. It's been quiet out here for two months or more, now everyone is noticing it.

Right now would be a good time for a KiwiBuild program, some new manufacturing prospects from previous widespread R&D expenditure, but we'll have to wait for 2017 at least. Instead, just watch out for the jobs that are going to be lost in the next few months. National don't have a clue about how to grow an economy.
