The real emergency

Written by  Milking It
The real emergency

The nutters of the green world, aided and abetted by the lamestream media, are rewriting the English language for the worse.

They and their motely lot of professional weirdo protestors keep calling certain realities and problems of life ‘emergencies’.

A classic example is the so-called nitrate emergency in Canterbury.

Are they really ‘emergencies’? Yes, the Christchurch and Kaikoura earthquakes, Cyclone Gabrielle and the Tasman floods were genuine emergencies.

Sure, there may be a nitrate problem in Canterbury, but have these same protesters ever declared a sewage emergency when city wastewater treatment plants fail and pour raw sewage into waterways the sea, causing untold misery to thousands of people?

The motely lot are quick to heap scorn and ridicule on rural people, but never their city or district councils.

The only ‘emergency’ we seen to have in NZ is the mis-use of the word and its manipulation for dubious ideological political propaganda.
