Punching down

To the Greens: you do realise that the leaders and other MPs tithe more to the party than I make in a year, right? Like, I couldn't find your annual operating budget, but it's obviously in the millions. Unlike you shits, who have refused to donate to AMPP, I actually donate to the Greens. How about some fucking reciprocity? - To VUW: a tiny fraction of a percent of your annual operating budget would've measurably improved my life - income measurably improves lives up to around $70,000, - and then your students and IIML writers could've done whatever they wanted with that material.


All you had to do was respect that it was a spec script, and that I refused to return. You still could have said that an alumnus provided the script, and if I'd been some fiftysomething white man with a track record, that's what would've happened. To the people that think I'm being stubborn: no, VUW doesn't want me; they want a man who occasionally dresses up.


That's what they're used to from Gareth.

Nadine -- you should have charged me, but you also should have met me first before complaining to the cops. That goes for Sarah as well.


I'm really not interested in excuses: you wouldn't accept mine, so I'm not accepting yours.


No 'want ed' ONLY 'there is no legal way to force production and that is why production hasn't occurred.'

So, VUW -- say sorry. Tory -- say sorry and compensate me personally.

I don't care if takes food out of your kid's mouths. That's a lie: you make too much for that to be true.
