Time for reality check

I find The British elections interesting because all of the same things are going on here but in Britain it is more advanced.
Starmer knows he can't be seen to rock the boat and that's fine with him because he can't do anything anyway because the country is broke.
He is content to confine his tinkering to constitutional matters like empowering courts and commissions and disempowering Parliament in preparation for total control.
The fact is that debt has become unpayable at sovereign and council level and retail is crashing because everyone is broke.
It's like a doorway into our future right here in Gisborne where we are building unrepayable debt into our local future as we speak.
Inevitably we will also see a retail crash as a result of everything else crashing, because a huge proportion of our public spending relies on debt.
Take debt away and the council and the government are exposed for spending beyond their means.
It seems to me that whatever is going to happen to us will happen in England first, so I watch with interest.
Take debt away and governments have to start sacking themselves until they are in balance with reality.
At this point any real government action for fiscal responsibility will be brutal for social programmes across the board.
Manu and his cohorts at TAT are strictly "nice to have" but in no way essential.
The whole system needs a huge wake-up call.
Everything to do with climate change needs to be scrapped or reversed, carbon taxes, everything.
Humans don't contribute to climate change and do not need to have their behaviour regulated on that excuse.
The debt blowout across the globe has been engineered in advance by the promoters of human induced climate change and the default will be inevitable at some stage.
The WEF wants us all bankrupt and broke and it looks like they are going to get that part.
The question in my mind is what happens after that.
Bankruptcy of GDC is baked in the cake if we borrow for the three-year plan.
Can the plan.
Then we can sit back and watch the other councils in NZ go broke because they listened to "conventional wisdom" aka Deloittes.
At this point in the global recession we don't need anything new.
All we need to do to stay afloat is use ratepayer funds to maintain what we already have.
If we can maintain essential services without adding more debt, we are winning.
We don't require "aspirational" leadership.
We need a new Mayor who is up with the play.
