Thanks v much David. Yes, 'wrong-think' & plain bad manners. We used to call the likes of Jackson & Waititi 'cowboys'. Remember the 'tight 5'? Back then it was mostly harmless machismo. Now it's more sinister & a threat to democracy, much as i know that's a much-abused term. Yet woe betide those dissing marae protocol.

Pleased he mentions the BDM bill hearings..Russell et al & their pearl-clutching rudeness, revealing their shallow capture by activists & leaping to display their 'virtue'...ugh.

In their minds they are superior - born to govern over us useful fools.

From local government upwards our liberal democracy is increasingly being exposed as the Emperor who has no clothes.

The only question that remains is whether it is better to put off or bring forward the pain and chaos that its inevitable demise will bring. Is it better to dive into a glacial river to start swimming to the other side or immerse oneself inch by inch before setting off on the arduous a d painful crossing?
