A commenter at KB has presented a list of the 96 virtue signallers and it has all the hallmarks of a descendent of “Citizens for Rowling” and some will recall the disaster that little ploy delivered.
Only one more sycophant and the tragedy could be compared to the Hillsborough 97.
Only one name triggered me the TV presenter and founder of his own TV production company from Dunedin, now Knighted, Sir Ian Taylor who is no stranger to the NZLP and who I initially confused with the chap who created Weta Workshop.
Oh there were a couple of Labour failures and some assorted other trendy lefties to fit in with dear old David Silent T.
Wealthy? in their warped socialist minds but likely very ordinary in terms most understand. Cripes dear old Marion Hobbs a perennial loser and trougher from the Rowling days of history when she was a member of the NZ Communist Party made the pathetic roll of wannabes
These people I warrant will have their tax affairs set up to avoid tax wherever possible and their access to alternative income streams will ensure they are never in want while their tax suggestion will be a serious handbrake on every entrepreneur who attempts to make a better world for people they employ along with the direct beneficiaries of their talents.
Their socialist theories, destructive as they are, will prevail and the massive disconnect with the real world will endure until their time messing with others lives is ended by death.
Actually I think this comment on KB by one “Swifty” (whom I’ve met) captures the situation much better as he responded to the news that with Grant Robinson the state is now spending $150 billion per year:
Even I’d lost track of it so found those facts frightening. This can’t continue, and yet it will. Can you imagine a National-led government actually cutting State spending back to even 2020, let alone 2017, let alone a mere 1999 figured adjusted for inflation.
And I’m sure 90%+ of ordinary Kiwi’s who never pay any attention to such things are even more in the dark.
We are truly fucked.
Tom, if they did go back to even 2017 levels the first sign most would see would be the streets of Wellington inundated with screaming, unemployable sheilas (of both sexes) crying about being unable to finance $15. coffees.
Sales of the videos as pure comedy would probably clear New Zealand’s foreign debt.
