If the Rugby World Cup becomes a politics-free zone, I will just hibernate for six weeks.
Thankfully, we can expect plenty of politicking around RWC-related issues. The bitching on social media about John Key's speech last night, and complaints about local government transport matters, are mere starters.
And if we lose, Matthew Hooton will argue it was all Helen Clark's doing.

I welcome comments, but I ask commenters to follow a few simple rules:
1. I delete anonymous comments. Please use either a name or moniker. I am not asking anyone to reveal their secret identity. Just don't call yourself "Anonymous".
2. Please don't abuse or defame others.
3. Moronic or nonsensical comments may be deleted.
4. I don't often exercise the heavy hand of censorship, but I do reserve the right to delete any comment I don't like, for any reason.

Damn. For a second there I read that as "if we lose Matthew Hooten" and my heart leapt. Punctuation, m'boy, punctuation.
ReplyDeleteHooten, in the NBR yesterday, wrote that if anything went wrong on opening night, McCully would have to go.
ReplyDeleteSo he started it. This politicking business.
Mark, to avoid future distress I have added a comma.

ReplyDeleteHear hear from me and Brian Rudman in today's Herald (not yet online). The huge crowds around the Waterfront could have been anticipated and planned for but McCully has run for cover. I felt very proud at the opening ceremony which far far exceeded my expectations but by good luck we chose to walk to the ground (the trains on the return from the match ran smoothly).
I'll politicise the debate further by saying if you want NACT then the long term consequences are Friday's transport fiasco and Pike River.
