Reasons you will hate me

Go Trev.

My mate Trev had a bad day at work yesterday. Guess who copped it?


I love this for many reasons, but mostly for the killer comment in the ps. It rules. And by that reasoning, so does Trev.

Mr Latham
before it is too late can you please get on the front foot in this

campaign. i am one of many many labor voters who on a daily basis

cringe at the softly softly approach taken by the party we have voted

for all our adult lives in this and the last few election campaigns.
every time you are accused of having a view and policies that are remarkably similar to those of the coalition you should stand up and say "like fuck they are!!!".
dont equivocate, dont vascillate.
you need to be talking about a fairer society, a more equitable society. invoke the Keating 1993 acceptance speech and talk about the true believers.
tell the Australian people that Howard and Ruddock are racists. call them liars. bring back remarks like 'the conga line of suckholes'.
read Shane Maloneys article in yesterdays Age and tell the Australian people that the day of enfranchised privilege is over.
tell the Australian people that we were conned into a war on a bodgy premise; yes we support our armed forces but we will not be sending them off again to bolster the suspect aims of the worlds sherriff.
point to Abbott and Costello as the clowns whose names they share and

ridicule those who would de facto propel them into the leadership of this country.
to those out there who appear not to care about lying bring it back to something basic ie. ask them to apply the standards they set their own children to those who run the country.
eschew the politics of division in favour of inclusiveness. we have happily absorbed people from all over the world for nearly 3/4 of a century and everytime a race of a different hue arrives we have to fight

off the haters to gain acceptance for our newest Australians.
make that acceptance a badge of honour amongst Australians and not a cause for the few.
make the imbeciles who say that conservation should not come at the price of jobs (as Howard did on the weekend) see the short sighted folly of such remarks. there is nothing sacred about the jobs of those involved in the rape of the environment. get in a car and drive south east from Melbourne towards NSW via the coast and when you get to Cann River drive off the road for a few kms. you will be horrified i promise. you've got Garrett in the party now; use him to stand up in places like that and make those points.
above all show this email to all your advisers and watch their reaction. everyone of them who shakes their head wisely and mutters about a lack of pragmatism in the above remarks you should sack on the spot.
Mr Latham you were elected by the ALP to lead so do that. stay true to

your nature and get rid of anyone who cautions you against intemperate language.
its time for a Labor leader to kick some heads. please dont let the country remain in the hands of its worst most divisive Prime Minister ever - or indeed those who will succeed him.


moderation will not win the day.


yours faithfully
Trevor ******


PS: i dont want to undermine the tone or intent of what i've written

above because it is something i take seriously but i am reminded of a

quote from a schlocky film where the hero said "I came here to kick some arse and to chew bubblegum - and i'm all out of bubblegum." its just that time now Mr Latham.


SEE? POW!! WHAT A FUCKING KILLER FINALE!
