As I alluded to at the end of last week there is much going on in this scribe's world at present which is leaving precious little time to waste at a keyboard penning this drivel. My personal business is in stark contrast to what is going in in the rest of the country.
A few marlin are being caught - and they are of a good size. The early summer run of yellow fin tuna seems to have peaked and there is not much else of note going on.
When the odious 'anti smacking' stuff was being bulldozed through parliament last year we were assured that parents were not going to be criminalised for bringing up their children as they saw fit. However in short order we are being treated to a regular precession of parents being visited by plod. The latest clipped his son round the ear 'ole a got a visit from the boys in blue after he was spotted by a couple sticky beaks (a school teacher and an off duty fed - typical). How many policemen turned up to give him an 'official warning'? Six. Half a dozen policemen are required to interfere in this chaps life. I suppose he should count himself lucky that he didn't get the Armed Offenders Squad. Almost the worst aspect of this incident is that it gives bloody Bradford a chance to pollute the media with her presence. I don't know what is the uglier, the outside of Sue Bradford or the inside. We had to suffer her dreadful corncrake wail of a voice arrogantly telling the world that this episode was evidence that her bill (remember she gave it away to Helen when told so to do) was working well. As far as she was concerned a clip around the ear was assault (who gives a toss what you think about anything, Bradford) and the police were only doing what the law required........... I'm not going to carry on - it makes me sick.
Sue Bradford is a Green MP. Not one Green Party member has ever won an electoral seat in Parliament. They are all there courtesy of the damned list. When was the last time a person was actually ejected from parliament because the voters gave them the flick and they didn't pop up again courtesy of the bloody list? The only people who can get rid of MPs are their fellow politicians. It is all wrong.
Where the hell is this review of MMP we were promised?
