Britain’s Telegraph newspaper ran a great cartoon yesterday.

It showed a housewife in the Post Office saying,

             “I’ve just heard the news about Prince Andrew. Will there be a commemorative coin?”

Now approaching 90 respected scientist and political cartoonist Dr Bob Brockie is no right wing fanatic. Rather he has a life-long history of being a paid-up member of the capital’s trendy-lefty set.

But regardless of his political leanings his great passion is science. With science there’s no room for opinions as it deals in evidence-based facts.

Ignore the latest Newshub poll. Polls no longer reveal election day realities.

The attacks on Parliament’s Speaker Trevor Mallard by National’s Chris Bishop and ACT leader David Seymour, were simply party politics. They know full well that the Speaker has sole jurisdiction over Parliament and its grounds.
