For the nostalgia buffs.

Do you remember when the lefty-press (almost all of them) said talk of a lockdown was fake news, totalitarian, and all that? Do you remember when they said it would cause massive social alarm and induce panic? Do you remember when Ms Ardern, the single source of truth, was ‘forced’ to deny it? Do you remember when we were told that it was “vital that we think harder about what we read and hear”

The BFD

Do you remember when, two days after the Dompost editorial, Ms Ardern announced we were going into lockdown, thanks to her enlarged capacity for nong-think, complacency, and above-average cluelessness? Do you remember how “others” had urged her to go harder, earlier?

Now, apparently, she’s a model of leadership. Do these clowns think we were born yesterday?  
I think they do.
