When I saw in the paper that my beloved ex MP, Potty Polly Shipley,
could be a dame I thought it was very funny joke..

The only dame post Potty Polly Shirley could aspire to is a
pantomime dame.

What has she done to justify a damehood anyway? She only became NZ's first
female PM by thrusting a very large knife into Jim Bolger's back.

And don't even think about knighting Coutts.

And suppress free speech by instructing protesting school-kids were
blocked from view by having buses parked in front of them. Given that
value system, its not surprising Labour honoured her.

(And Bolger still has not forgiven his National collegues for that -
which is why he accepted the political appointemenst by the Labour
governmenst to NZPost and KiwiRail.)

That was Labour's lame attempt to connect with the 'sporting red-neck'
vote, (along with throwing 30 million dollars at it) in a Stalin-esque
monument-building extravaganza, complet with coreagraphed parades and
falg waving.

Labour are still trying to figur out where it all went wrong (and why
the ungrateful populace biffed them out on their ear)

That alone was worth a Damehood.
