I arrived there too...& Tony Blair's role was pivotal & hitched UK "Democracy" to this decline. Without Blair, it's just another US military misadventure, like Vietnam.
U can draw a line through Brexit,Boris to rise of Farage...all built on Lies that took us to a pointless War.

Just when Grant Robertson had the recovery dialled in & chugging along, these idiots came in & stalled the f'ker. What esp hurts is anyone with vaguest econ knowledge could see damn well that's what they were doing.

Wow...the reverse of that would be to suggest Anders Breivik(Norway mass killer at Labour youth camp) & The ChCh Mosque Shooter are ACT Party kindred spirits, which would be outrageous.......likely true, but outrageous.

Is it Diplomacy or just plain Fear that keeps other Leaders so silent on Trump? How are they serving their countries by not calling Trump the Racist, Ignorant , Corrupt threat to Western Civilization that he so clearly is....which World Leader's gonna declare the "Emporers" stark bollock nakedness?

If you count Russians as Europeans (they are), +Hungary,+the 20% of the general population who are irredeemable f'ktards(yes U Reform etc)...he may be right?

I'm trad Labour voter in both NZ & UK. UK Lab have blown it completely by effectively abandoning the Left flank, I'm seriously considering Zaks Greens.
I can't help but feel NZ Lab on same course as Starmer.

My hood as a child...played many times around (& in) the Mangaone when Cloverlea was still largely farmland (we lived on Tremaine & went to (formerly named) Highbury school. Very much, my old manor.

Europe(EU) needs to expand or die. Canada has already got one foot in...strong links need to be made with the TPP(Trans Pacific Partnership). UK must align with EU.. Aust&NZ could swing either way, but will likely follow UK.
It's (MAGA) US that must be isolated...until they come to their senses.

It's one of several traps being set for Lab by this Coalition...they've faarked the books so so much Labour Rule (in any meaningful form) is going to be nigh on impossible.

We bricked my mum's iPad doing this..Password rejected (all her passwords written in a book, so I know it was correct). Apple call centre insisted on talking to mum to unblock( she was largely non-verbal in a care home,at this point)
Result..bricked iPad.
A sad end to mum's 20years as loyal Macuser.

The right response, but I fear more motivated by Nats not requiring an Immigrant "bogyman"...they have Maori filling that role. Besides, those Immigrants have a propensity to become Nat voters...but if the politics dictates, they'll readily throw them under a bus.
