This New Zealander couldn’t care a twopenny f**k being told what the ‘guests’ in Her Majesty’s Prisons are going eat on Xmas day … roast chicken and vegetables for lunch and rice and salad (plus two mince pies to acknowledge the day) for dinner. Your ritual breathless reporting leaves me cold.
We have a friend (a nurse) who, on Xmas day, will be serving a meal to residents in a aged care facility. Her meal … the leftovers.
Hmmmmmmm.

Stuff is just a propaganda outlet for the Godless Government , why do you read it? It is full of “misinformation™”
At least with printed Newspapers you could wipe your backside with it
We are spoiled these days and have soft tissue paper in our inside toilets – in my formative years we had an outhouse with squares cutout of newspaper skewered on a nail hammered into a beam to wipe our bums with.
In fact soft toilet tissue is deemed so important a commodity it is the first thing that disappears from the supermarket shelves in a panic buy…
..anyway
my parents would carefully cutout pictures of public figures to be impaled on that nail so we could smear them in the proverbial…
Though to be fair when I raised it in conversation many years later my Mother denied it had been done on purpose
The venerable Weekly News was renowned for its secondary usefulness. Must have been the texture of the paper. Our parents and grandparents could have taught todays useless young pups a thing or two about recycling.
Andrei is right. None of the wise old Maoris in our valley would allow their photos to be taken by the reporter from the Weekly News.
Andrei … I think if you shut your eyes and ears to what the other side are saying then you run the risk of retreating into your bubble and arguing with yourself.
I don’t do that Vet – after all I cross swords with you from time to time 🙂
I was using a rhetorical device when I asked why you read “stuff” which as we now is a bought and paid for outlet for the Labour Party of New Zealand via the Public Interest Journalism Fund.
They received $591,465 for a project called “The Whole Truth” a “checking project designed to protect public health”.
You might wonder why I am so cynical – well wonder no more
