So very '90s!

Written by  The Hound

OPINION: In a to the 1990s, our old mates at Greenpeace continued their crusade against affordable food by abseiling down the side of Fonterra’s Te Rapa factory and unfurling a big banner.

It was all very 1990s and brought back memories of Xena, Princess Warrior.

This old mutt reckons it also smacks of the privileged, self-righteousness infecting western society these days, where chardonnay socialists, fattened up on organic eggs and salmon bagels with almond milk flat whites, try and prevent the production of affordable food for the world’s hungry masses because they’ve watched too many Netflix ‘documentaries’ about how ‘the planet is burning’.

These woke idiots, fat and happy in their leafy suburbs, don’t know what it’s like to struggle to afford food, let alone get up early every day to grow it.
