Handbasket departing in 3...2...1...

Being of astute faculties and superior perception, you will recall my previous post on how the National Government is going to screw the country.

Ha ha! How often reality outstrips the imagination.

Gerry Brownlee's firing up the mining rig and preparing to go prospecting in our national parks, based on some numbers that a mining industry stooge basically pulled out of his ass.

Anne Tolley, not content with her school-closing plans, is warming up National Standards for our primary schools, despite all the evidence from civilised countries like the UK and others that they're a terrible idea. In the words of an educator friend: "She is actually evil."

Paula Bennett is strapping on the monetarist dong and preparing to shaft beneficiaries of all stripes. Back to work you go, bludgers, and fuck your children! We've got tax cuts to finance!

I guess that after being made to stare at balance sheets all day, and having the chief whip howl economic policy through the Beehive's PA, Government ministers simply lose sight of what it means to be a human fucking being.

The only bright spot in all of this is being able to read, in a beautiful point-by-point takedown breathtaking in its artistry, just how wrong Sir Roger Douglas is.
