Just an amazing line-up. People I read all the time. We need information getting out and this seems a brilliant and easy way of doing it. The site, The Daily Blog, launches March 1. No bloody idea what I shall be able to add, but by Gods it will make me take my game up a notch. Thanks Martin, brilliant idea. i want to post this scene from the brilliant ‘Land and Freedom’. Even when things look really bad, and NZ seems destined for disaster if National keep up, we must keep going and fight, spread information and facts. And get through this time.
