Likening Judith Collins to Princess Diana. If they bring out a mug with Collins in a blue frock and Slater in a kilt, on it, I’d buy it.

Hard News: Earning Confidence, in reply to Hilary Stace,
Some were activated by screaming
Nice analogy as to how I feel about politicians at the moment; the need to shriek to get the lights to come on.

Key just being on Morning Report says, spinning out of controll.

Hard News: Dirty Politics, in reply to Andre Alessi,
There was a bio of Slater in the Listener some whole ago where he talked about his mental health and his diagnosis. It may go someway to explain some of his excesses and certainly raises questions of exploitation by his powerful friends.

Hard News: Dirty Politics, in reply to Ian Dalziel,
Ian, it's paint flaking off an institutionally painted wall. But I enjoy the host of Lou Reeds in the top corner, (I think Lou used to quote the ," best lack all conviction" in his concerts)

Hard News: Dirty Politics, in reply to Richard Aston,
Richard, yes my moral compass points to having a free and healthy fourth estate. if the PM is pre determining his response to a unknown written critique rather than a thoughtful and balanced response to the actual information, we do have a disconnect in this vital process.

Hard News: Dirty Politics, in reply to Paul Campbell,
Key’s prejudging the book as conspiracy was disappointing enough and his position to continue to wilfully ignore its contents already damns him. He seems to be directly challenging the role of the fourth estate in a democracy, treating the journalist as an opponent.
Key should know the contents of Nicky’s critique and act or react accordingly, not ‘be in damage controll’. Manipulation of the media and playing fast and loose with the truth is antithetical to a healthy democracy, shows poor leadership and is an ugly and anachronistic part of right wing politics.

'Also it so happens we are currently up to episode 22 of House of Cards at home …'
coincidentally Bill English has just made an arrangement to release more emails to Nicky at Paraparaumu railway station....
