From Cynicism to Reality

Before I start, I want to record that I had the misfortune to be too near the television on Tuesday afternoon and heard the “Duchess of Ardern” Jacinda Ardern, royally, for the umpteenth time, spout the lie of going hard and going early. I can cope with hearing a mistruth

Who’s on First for a Good Arse-Kicking
