So what do you stand for?

The local elections are coming, and one local has possibly the most ridiculous billboard ever. The woman is called Leandra Bowen  and her punchline is

Advocating crime prevention

Now some of you might think I am being a little flippant - but I do not see any of the other candidates with an opposite response, e.g. advocating domestic violence, supporting theft and/or encouraging fraud. I would suggest that my little town has its fair share of other problems - a polluted lake, a dying CBD, a lack of job opportunities, crippling debt and no population growth. I think Ms. Bowen needs to get out more!

Judith Collins

It seems the right are offended by the above, which has been posted all over the North Shore.

Actually I think it is an honourable suggestion, given the nastiness of Mrs. Collins. lest we forget that the root cause of crime is well proven to be linked to poverty, which itself is well proven to be linked to ethnicity, social circumstance and a lack of good education provision.

Also, national don't seem to realise that countries with armed police also have more gun deaths - funny that!

If you create a monster then learn how to deal with it!
