Jenny will fix all our problems
Mum and I have whizzed up the road to
Owaka to get the paper, and some food.
I'm no good cooking the British boarding
school stuff Mum really likes. Slowly.
Get inside at Pounawea, before
another blizzard belts in. When we
make up a drink and look at the head-
lines it's Jenny and Ruth and Jim's
finest hour. They are whacking benefits
back.
Most minimum legislation protecting
workers is on the way out too. This
has all happened before. It's in a
book called A Vanished World by a
Jewish man called Elie Wiesel. Well
before the German Nazis arrived in
Eastern Europe. Jews were discriminated
against. It's a crime to be poor in
The Decent Society.Not everyone agrees.
