Full-on Masked Hysteria

Mark Williams I got my title from a 90’s dance music album by a group called Altern-8. Famous for their mask-wearing and hazmat suits at raves I was reminded of them by the mask hysteria we are now currently experiencing. How did we go from no facemasks to suddenly

Open Letter to Judith Collins

Dear Judith, I know you’re out there on the campaign trail and all that, and you’re probably hugely busy, listening to your PR advisers and doing your own brand of kissing babies, shaking hands and so on, but some of us are getting a bit worried, quite frankly.

I keep returning to the SARS-CoV-2 situation as one which is in equal parts astonishing and appalling, and also because we seem to have sleep-walked into the biggest singular threat to democracy so far this century without anyone realising it. We are in the grip of a mass neurosis: seeded

Hey Labour Party, it’s probably not a good idea to put a candidate in a white top with blonde hair onto a white billboard, or did you only want Jacinda Ardern to be visible? I would call today’s face of the day a “Ghost candidate”….spooky. Vote for

Ardern’s Rhetoric Versus Her Delivery

For the next few days, I will remind the Prime Minister that we have long memories. It is only when you explore her hyperbole that you realise how much of her rhetoric was outright posturing rather than delivery. I will expose three examples a day. There is a huge volume
