Off with their heads

Ray Willett Then let them eat steak. I misquote Marie Antoinette. She said cake. We think the cake was perhaps some kind of fancy sponge, revealing how removed from reality she was. No, cake then was blocks of molasses and chaff etc fed to horses. Ignorant bliss. She just didn’t give a toss. She deserved her head cut off.

And thus to the proposed flats on the corner of Invercargill’s Crinan and Conon streets.

Twelve sausage flats aren’t good enough for the homeless. Five steak houses must be built.

This is what people who are not affected by the consequences of their actions do. They insist on things that people cannot afford and deny people access to the essentials that they could afford .

Removed from reality or just not giving a toss? Either way Invercargill could do with a guillotine to remove the snotty brainless heads from the heartless bodies of the people who made the rules.

I recommend the investment to the citizens of Invercargill. We in Southland District would gladly rent it once you are through to get rid of the people who insist that $68,000 ratepayers money be spent to get the OK to cut down 28 nuisance trees in Manapouri.

As it happens I have closely examined the guillotine in the Hotel Hilton Hanoi and I could knock one up cost price if you can get a people’s court together and a tumbrel to operate down Esk St to Wachner Pl.
