The superficial view that the Government has seen sense and has bowed to public opinion in removing the smacking nonsense form urgency is just that, superficial. It has been removed because they just don't have the numbers to do it, pure and simple. Helen's odious bunch have got them into a pleasantly fine pickle over all this. They are so far into it that they can't back down now without calamitous loss of face but they have demonstrated that they no longer control parliament. Nothing gives me greater pleasure than seeing this bunch of ratbags in trouble but it means we have to put up with eighteen months of effectively useless governance. We are going to see them lurching from crisis to crisis with the bottom line being their own survival and not promoting the good and progress of the country. Hideous in the extreme. And speaking of hideous, the Headmistress herself was in 'arrogance with the afterburners on' mode when dismissing the results of two polls overnight showing public disapproval of the bill at 73% and 82%. She says in her usual haughty manner that we, the proles, don't understand the Bill and the question being asked was the wrong one. 'Just leave it to us 'cos we know best and how dare you try and interfere with us telling you what you can and can't do in your own home'. I can think of very few people I like less than Helen Clark. Keith Locke isn't even in the frame as he is just plain barking. As an aside just think who was instrumental in dragging this smacking nonsense as far as it has currently got - our old friend Philip Field. If it hadn't been for his filibustering from his independant seat back in the dunce's corner of the house this whole thing would have been passed weeks ago. Ain't life strange.
My campaign to awake the world to the total fraud that is the anthroprogenic global warming crap has been given new life by Rockhopper who generously sent me a DVD of a British Channel 4 program entitled 'The Global Warming Swindle'. This documents, in language even Jeanette Fitzsimmons could understand, that 'the CO2 is the fount of all evil' is a load of bollocks. Timely, as there are a couple of items in the Herald this morning about all this. The Greens new policy about who is to pay for Kyoto is both unintelligble (as befits a proposal that adrresses something that doesn't exist) and bloody expensive. I'll say it again for the slow learners. There is global warming at present and it has nothing to do with my ownership of three four litre cars and every thing to do with the sun and the oceans. There is nothing you, I, Jeanette Fitzsimmons or the Pope can do about it. Neither will there be anything we can do about it when the cycle gets into the global cooling phase - as it will.
