      Yet despile their bragging about being environmentally responsible New Zealand almost is as bad as the USA for climate terrorism. None of their homes of commercial buildings are property insulated, and double glazing is a rarity. The Kiwi's waste so many things they could recycle. They do tend to keep their cars for a long time which helps reduce the pollution caused by vehicle manufacturing. But they don't build cars, trucks and busses they are all imported.

      Especially the part about Murdoch having so much influence . It isnt an exaggeration to say he has actually manufactured the outcome of elections. Another downside is that centre left parties have to make a decision . They either court Murdoch and move to the right in order to get elected , having to jettison so many of their more radical policies in the process , whilst being allowed to keep a . few of the more moderate ones in return for being ' allowed ' to govern . The alternative is they ignore Murdoch and have radical policies and are not ' allowed ' to govern .

      @@peternelson7048 yeah agree with that, why the best people never seem to go into politics. It’s a kind of paradox. But maybe that’s the answer? We need to encourage the unlikely into politics, and those individuals with decency and vision could make huge strides.
      I actually feel sick in my stomach thinking about Gore having the election stolen. A great crime to us all that won’t addressed / acknowledged by history until long after we’re gone. Awful.

The entry read “To support free speech, we will repeal section 40 of the Crime and Courts Act 2014, which seeks to coerce the press. We will not proceed with the second stage of the Leveson Inquiry.” But yes, Leveson 2 must be restarted as press self-regulation really isn’t working.

      @@geraldbutler5484 Thanks for the reply. My point was about the hot air that air-cons push out to create the cool air inside the home. I think there is probably some scientific formula for air heating, and my guess is that it might show relatively that hot air is heated quicker than cold air.
      In that sense it doesn't matter where the electricity comes from as air-con units physically heat the outside air themselves.

When talking about freedom of press, should we also question the implicit ideological messaging in the movies and tv it disseminates?

    "The liberty of a democracy is not safe if people tolerate the growth of private power to a point where it becomes stronger than the democratic state itself. That in its essence is fascism: ownership of government by an individual, by a group, or any controlling private power."
