Labour set to enter our bedrooms

The shower head saga has come to a head again.

This time in the face of an election Labour deny that they will restrict your shower time and water pressure, even though Government officials are discussing that very thing right now and seem intent on passing it in February.

I wouldn’t ordinarily re-visit what might seem at first a trivial matter but it aint trivial at all. It is about New Zealander's freedoms. The freedoms that have been lost over the last 9 years of a Labour Government and it will not stop at the bathroom, it will be the bedroom next-there has already been discussion from the feminazi lawyers in government positions about relaxing rape laws so as to almost make written consent for everyday sex a wise thing should a male want to stay a free spirit and a woman withdraw consent after the act- and it will not stop there.

The shower head controversy is a symbol for what Labour have done to us and our freedoms and they will pass the new law if they get back in, you would have to be a filthy, smelly little greeny prick of a moron if you thought otherwise.

Let me misquote a famous Charton Heston quote.

You are going to have to prise my cold dead hands from my 20 litre a minute shower head if you want it.

Don’t let Labour screw you again, because they will.

Watch the first debate between National's John Key and Labour's Helen Clark, live on TV One at 7.00pm 14 October 2008.

Viewers can submit questions to the two leaders via YouTube and watch selected questions live on the 90 minute debate and watch it at Political Animal latter in YouTube Video.

So far Helen Clark has been the more silver tongued political animal, mainly by shouting down and interrupting her opponent, so it will be interesting to see if Mark Sainsbury will keep order so that we can hear what each candidate has to say.

The format of the last Presidential debate in the USA allowed the candidates uninterrupted speeches from questions asked from the studio audience and is the best format to get each leaders points across.

 

You can discuss the minutia of the debate here  your comments will appear at the bottom of this article. Who do you think won the debate?

The Next Key VS Clark debate is on November 5.

Share Investor Portfolio: Taking a beating

I haven't visited the old Share Investor Portfolio for a while to see how it is shaping up over all this global turmoil in our stockmarkets but I suspect it has taken more than a battering.

It might be good to share this with my readers so they can compare how well or indeed how badly they have done.

The biggest part of the portfolio, Sky City Entertainment [SKC.NZ] has dropped to NZ$2.91 as of today, Mainfreight Ltd [MFT.NZ] hovers just above 5 dollars , Fletcher Building Ltd [FBU.NZ] is below 5 bucks. Pumpkin Patch Ltd [PPL.NZ] is well below its IPO price of $1.25 and everything else bar Fisher and Paykel Healthcare [FPH.NZ] has had a good thrashing.

Including dividends, brokerage costs and tax credits the portfolio is down 0.75% .

So far it has withstood the riggers of the market rort but more bad news could come yet.
