JC: Hīkoi No More Than a Hiccup

The politicians, particularly those on the right, with the exception of ACT, need to realise that those who put them in power did so in the belief the necessary courage was there to fix this festering sore. We are now left in doubt and that is not good enough.

Another hīkoi has come and gone. An unknown number of unemployed travelled, mainly in motorised transport (the invention of the despised white man). If their media mates appeared with a camera they would leap out and pretend they had been consistently on the march. But we weren’t fooled, any more than we were fooled by this political stunt pulled by people who had nothing better to with their time. You might recall the old saying ‘the Devil finds work for idle hands’.
