Many of us have been aware over our lifetime that the left are unfit to govern. Considering the events of the past week, one could justifiably add the word manifestly. Nobody with an ounce of common sense would consider them a viable alternative to the current government. No one in their right mind would entertain these out of touch loons being let anywhere near the levers of power. They are a complete disgrace, the lot of them, and, whether they realise it or not, they are consigning themselves to the dustbin of history.
The Green Party appear to think we are like them: sick, twisted and devoid of any semblance of sense. Otherwise why would they stand up and spout the nonsense that Marama Davidson and Chloë Swarbrick spoke at their news conference. What was said was an insult to everyone’s intelligence and it beggars belief they thought their line of reasoning was going to resonate with the majority of the population.
Then along comes Chris Hipkins, who, according to the Herald, was trying to stay out the controversy. Instead he dropped himself right in it. According to the newspaper, he offered a defence of sorts to Benjamin Doyle, saying it was very unfortunate the way the posts had been politicised. Unfortunate for whom, I ask: Doyle, himself or the disgraced left as a whole? The answer is all of them.
He then made the ultimate mistake by having a go at Winston Peters, saying it wasn’t responsible for him to be spending his time on things like this. The bulk of the population is only too glad he did. Without Mr Peters, thanks to the media cover up until that point, we may never have known about this deviant behaviour. What Hipkins needs to realise is that the Greens, once again (and in particular Benjamin Doyle), have just driven another nail into his coffin.
The media, aiding and abetting this tawdry business, are an equal disgrace. It’s no wonder trust in them is at an all-time low and bound to fall lower still. The deliberate inane questions and spin they put on the Doyle fiasco is nothing short of shameful. Just when one thought they couldn’t sink any lower, they prove that indeed they can: there appears to be no upholding of any standards in journalism anymore. They just don’t give a damn about the public whom they rely on for support.
Both the left’s and the media’s reputations are in tatters following Winston’s exposé of the facts. They have shown to the public, once and for all, who they stand for and what principles they uphold. They both deserve to be severely punished for their inexcusable conduct, which is a stain on both their houses. The people now know, without a shadow of a doubt, just how poorly they are served both politically and journalistically.
