The headmistress is jumping to the defence of Maori (in general) over those Frogs who have called their security company Maori. They have signalled their intent to exploit (her words and not mine) the indigenous people of Aoteoroa (which they are not of course) by coupling the name 'Maori' with what looks like a Zulu shield. Madam gets into full hadwringing mode and regrets that international law as it now stands means she can do nothing. Implications here are that she wishes the law was different so she could garner more votes from a sector of the electorate where here impact has markedly waned recently. It also infers that she thinks it is wrong that she is unable to exert her will over anything she fancies in the real world outside the 200 mile EEZ. She is used to doing as she pleases with anyone under her power. Odious, odious woman. I have started channel surfing when her face besmirches the news. This is wrong - I had to watch thirty seconds of E! last night. I say good on the Frogs. They chose the name because it reminded them of rugby and I believe them. Perhaps 'tight head' or 'second five' might have been better but no matter. I'm looking for the French grog wholesaler called Abo.
Granny's Editorial is also struggling to find current material on which to comment as it is giving an opinion on Bradfords votes for kindy kids idea - this about five days late. Nothing here that hasn't already been said but worth reading for a quote from a reader's letter. She (I think it was a she) points out that Bradford (amongst many other MPs) should have it pointed out to her that a Member of Parliament's function is take the views of her electorate to the house and fight the corner for those views. An MP's function is not to push their own political agenda. We will gloss over the fact that Bradford doesn't have an electorate as she is list MP. It would do her, and us, no harm for her to remember this basic tenet of parliamentary democracy.
