This is edition 2025/143 of the Ten@10 newsletter.
Hi all,
This is the Ten@10, where I collate and summarise ten news items you generally won't see in the mainstream media.
Enjoy!
1. Without Question (Time)
Simon O'Connor
- 😤 Arrogance & Narcissism: Someone so confident in their views that they expect everyone to agree, disregarding logic and reason.
- 🎭 Emotional Theatrics: Relying on theatrics and facial expressions instead of thoughtful argument or evidence.
- 🤨 Disregard for Rules: Believing that rules don’t apply to them, with a complete dismissal of parliamentary procedure.
- 🏛 Self-Righteousness: Insisting that their opinion is so correct that even history must confirm their stance.
- 🎤 Chlöe Swarbrick’s Ego: Demonstrating an overconfidence that ignores constructive dialogue, focusing solely on her own agenda.
- 🌍 Performative Politics: The Green Party’s actions, especially Chlöe's, seem more about personal publicity than actual advocacy for Palestinians.
- 🧣 Theatrical Costumes: A focus on fashion and presentation rather than substantial political engagement, creating a "show" rather than a genuine cause.
- ⚔️ Revolutionary Mindset: Their approach hints at a belief that societal rules must be destroyed to build a new utopia, forcing everyone to comply.
