I witness yet again the endless parade of political promises from all and sundry, including the sitting government.
From Winnie, who promises to move the world to the North.
To Hone, who wants to take from (to use his own words) the 'rich pricks', ignoring the fact families like ours never smoked, rarely drank, worked two jobs for decades, and limited our children to the two we could afford (something his claimed electorate might like to consider as a life philosophy).
To Labour, who are yet again hell-bent on spending our hard-won surpluses in its usual 'tax the industrious and spend the money objectives', totally forgetting the underlying truth surrounding socialisms' objectives, in that eventually they will run out of other people's money.
And to the Greens, who seek a utopia without the apparent need to increase the production of food to feed the hungry.
