The links are to Twitter. By the time you come back you've probably forgotten to like.

But it's fine, I prefer comments anyway.

People will think that the commenters didn't *like*, so that will be intriguing.

Pat tried to rile you but he was the more riled.

He seems really out of date.

Does he represent mainstream thinking.

Really. Well I don't know how you could tolerate interacting with someone so out of touch with what's going on.

I found him super boring and he needs to go back to his handlers for an update to his software.

You are obviously genuine and not trying to be a know all.

Pat Brittenden appeared to be in a state of agitation throughout the interview, certainly not a calm person, quite emotional and unrelaxed. I found him difficult to watch and listen to. Grabbing constantly for a swig from his black drink as if it was his security blanket.

I would be interested to know how he copes with wearing a mask with that bushy beard?

He loves the sound of his own voice, a terrible interviewer who couldn’t wait for you to finish what you were saying so he could voice-off again. I thought you were constant all the way through and I congratulate you for the way you handled him.

The audio on your side was not all that clear and came through as muffled at times.

Thanks Fay. I was going to add up who had how many minutes to see if it was really an interview. Also in regards to the muffled sound that's how the software works, if he's speaking then I get muffled.

Also have just screen-snapped the comments that he was referring to, they're all transgressors whom I've sparred with on Twitter. Catespice, Scout River who ran as transman for Mayor in 2019, Golden Helikon. Do they do this for free I ask?

Pat said he didn't want to know what you thought, he wanted evidence.

When you give him examples and authorities as evidence he says that's "what about ism".

Then he says don't quote sources but give him just your opinion.

Your summation of your transport planning was very thorough and precise.

Pat tried to trick you into sounding authoritarian, which was not a problem for you as you are not authoritarian.

He hoped by bringing up the image of those little vehicles he could rubbish the idea, but your rationale for them was really good.

He might not have known why *smart* is a bad idea. Like the WEF "smart cities". WEF certainly took on board the Orwellian speak.

Pat had some astro turf ready for the flat earth attempt for closing on.

Pat was antagonistic but was not prepared for your reasoned responses.

I told him afterwards that 'flat earth' is actually a quantum physics concept. That what we perceive as round here is a projection from billions of light years away and according to that theory it is therefore both flat and round. Not my theory btw just repeating it.

There were some idiots in the comments.

The comments have not surfaced for me but I can find plenty of idiots around here if I want some.

Haha.

Just as well you didn't elaborate on the flat earth concept during the interview.

He sounds like a mask nazi, hope you don't have to work with the Ministry of Health- what a misnomer.

Health is a euphemism for Death.

Ministry of Death.

You know like War Department became Defence Department.

Don't take it lying down Stephen.

I agree with your rejection of one way streets. They speed motor vehicle traffic up, only the threat of hitting other cars seems to slow down drivers. Pedestrians are road bumps. The key is to slow drivers down to cyclists speed, while not treating walkers like third class citizens.

Not easy. I would emphasize the safer, cleaner, quieter aspects of walkable neighborhoods, increased property values, healthier community, all that. He makes a false equivalence between traffic laws and vaccine mandates. One that is frequently used ie seatbelts, stay in your lane, speeding laws have proven public health benefits ie deaths and hospitalizations. Jabs only have lies and mirrors.

He annoyed me, but I liked your folksy style. You could make a guest appearance on Max the Oz's show. You will need a pet, probably.

I just sent an email to Jamie Green at (University) Radio One who is the only other "employer" that Aaron has had. They're doing the same as 2019, trying to stop me from coming on their Radio Station by just not responding to me. I think that's because Aaron only has platitudes as his environmental policy and none of the other candidates are any different. So getting me on there I guess makes Aaron look stupid. I can't see any other reason for it. And they did it in 2019 as well.

Hi Jamie,

we're not playing this game again are we? I seem to remember having to come and visit you at the station in 2019 and then I was slotted in at the last minute with Jules & Bob.

I'm available Thursday and Friday at this stage although I can probably do Monday as well.

Regards

Richard

I only deleted my comment as I meant to have posted it in reply to Stephen and it didn't make sense otherwise.

I wonder to whom Aaron appeals?

I suppose he's some sort of manufactured easily controlled type.

He knows that he would be nothing without his handlers so that keeps him docile towards them.

Yeah it's somewhat vague that one. The locals who put him there likely think that. The Internationals who put him there likely think that. And the Green Party who put them there likely think that. The Green Party is likely under Internationals control (WEF etc). Which leaves the locals vs the internationals. Internationals win that one.

Anyway I have to bike down to Radio One to try and get on their shows next week. Same as I had to in 2019. Seems they're still Aaron's handlers men (all men as far as I can see).

I now have evidence of my second ban. Plus the transwomen (I'm assuming that they're gals even though they looked very male) down there seemed very, how do I say this, pumped full of testosterone.

And Channel 39 has split us into two groups. One looks like 'serious contenders' and the other looks like 'let's set them up for failure'.

What do you suggest?

You are smart and thoughtful.

You have also thought about a lot of issues over a long time.

And you are good at keeping your cool.
