Quote"When I landed illegally in NZ a day or two ago, the police showed some interest until they found that I had not jumped ship, here. They couldn't spell ringbolting so that didn't worry them either. I phoned the immigration Dept, to regularise me presence but was told " you're British and you're entitled to be here so we are not interested in how you got here" Quote
Times have changed Craic You wouldn't get into NZ in that way now. ( If you were a Chinese millionaire you would of course and would even qualify for a one on one with the Minister for immigration in a hotel room ) The days of a shortage of labour skilled or unskilled are long gone, many of the unskilled jobs have been automated or disappeared as factories closed or shifted overseas. Now we have the service industry, professional sport etc to employ those lacking the education or ability to handle complex IT work etc. What chance of a house to live in ?
There has been a definite attempt to remove power from the working class and restore it to where it rightfully belongs. You must not let the peasants get above themselves. The constant personal criticism of Shearer, Cunliffe, Norman and anyone remotely left of centre shows how scared the right is of the left. As Lincoln said "you can fool some of the people some of the time and so on ..."
