Ignored

Dear Leader is used to getting her own way and she is currently having raspberries blown at her from all sorts of quarters. Yum Yum - couldn't happen to a nicer bloke. As alluded to above, Banksie is wasting no time in having a go at her and is adding spice by doing it through her favourite poodle, Tizard. I wouldn't imagine that Judith has John on her Xmas card list but she really is so inept in everything she does and says that it is not really fair putting her up aginst Banks. Her attempts to have a go at him are just plain pathetic. He could eat her for breakfast and is currently doing so - all covered in Marmite. Uncle Helen is told to get nicked at home so what does she do? She does what she always seems todo when the pitch starts to take a bit of spin she buggers off overseas. Remember that foreign policy is one of her strong suits (spare me) and she can strut her stuff on the international stage showing how well the Peoples Republic can punch well above its weight on the international scene (am I really typing this bollocks?).

Remember how she was pontificating about how Frank Bananarama was going to be regarded as the leper of the South Seas at this conference currently underway? Frankie was going to be hanging around in Tonga with no one to talk to, recall that? Well the head of the Commonwealth, Don McKinnon (just remind me of his nationality) has a) invited Frankie to dinner and b) had his entrance to the chinwag announced on the PA when Dear Leader's entrance was ignored. Terrific stuff. In true diplomatic fashion Frank turned down the groceries because he was busy holding talks with people - these are the same people who Helen said would ignore him. Helen didn't go to the nosh because she was having a hissy fit.

Long may this trend of people treating our Dear Leader as the ideological bigot and inconsequential waste of space that she really is continue. Her days of doing as she pleases surrounded by sycophantic lickspittles are hopefully coming to an end. Hideous, hideous woman.

There is a chilling breakdown of the respective income tax structures both here and across the Tasman in the Herald this morning. I know Income Tax cannot be looked at in isolation but it is not pretty reading. Even before Howard's clutching at straws promises of Monday the figures confirm what we have all known for years. History Boy is shafting us with knobs on and oak leaf clusters. We compare awfully every way you look at it. The rates are higher, much higher, at every income level and the levels at which the ghastly rates kick in are also way lower over here. It wouldn't be quite so bad (well it would but try and look on the bright side) if he spent the money on something worthwhile.

Like Eden Park, eh John?
