VOTD- this should fly like the proverbial lead zeppelin

So- how about making the (once bulldozed) red zone available for allotments, like they do in England?

It is conveniently placed so the poor from the Eastern suburbs can grow vegetables and rear chickens on this otherwise unusable land...

Idlers and wasters up front NOW

"The Government is taking aim at 43,000 solo parents who it says should go back to work.

Prime Minister John Key and Social Development Minister Paula Bennett have this afternoon unveiled a major package of welfare reforms.

Ms Bennett said that for some beneficiaries "the dream is over".

There were 43,000 single parents on the domestic purposes benefit whose children were of a school age and who were ready to transition back to work..."

I will believe it when I see it.

Get real and start talking limited time on a benefit.

No more money for additional spawning.

Compulsory contraception/sterilization for beneficiaries (and yes, I include males too!)

I don't want to hear of another repackaging effort!

Ya talk the talk- do ya walk the walk?

"My message to the gangs is clear. This Government is coming after your business and we will use every tool we have to destroy it. We will be ruthless in our pursuit of you and the evil drug you push."

So sayeth John Key.

I will believe it when I see it.

Talk is cheap- at least to you, who pays for it with our money.

I would like to believe you.


But I don't.
