So, Len "2-minute" Brown's

[Leftette]

been a naughty boy.

[elguapo]

Isn't the correct phrase "Barely 2-minute Brown"?

[Leftette]

"Barely" is right on two counts. What's that rhythmic noise I hear coming from under Lennie's desk? You'd not want to hold a black light around council chambers.

[Keys]

And what does it have to do with him being Mayor?

Absolutely nothing. Leave him alone.

[Leftette]

You'd be right if it were done on his own time on his own property, but no, he's been shagging in our time on our property.

[Leftette]

And if you sincerely think he'd have been voted in had this come out before the election, you're quite, quite wrong.

[jedimaster]

I guess you could say Len Brown's second term has been so brief it came and went.

[jedimaster]

And what does it have to do with him being Mayor?

Absolutely nothing. Leave him alone.

Everything, actually.

If I buy my groceries and a personal stereo on my employers credit card, I am instantly dismissed.

If I make up 55% of my employer's annual credit card expense misreporting incidents whilst having less than 0.5% of total employee credit cards then I am instantly dismissed.

If I am shagging young ladies all over the office during work hours I am instantly dismissed.

If I, or people associated to me, then send threatening messages to a blogger and journalist and their family members, and the woman I had an affair with, threatening to ruin their lives if they publish the information about me, I am instantly dismissed (and possibly facing criminal charges).

What about that is so hard to understand???

Why are we holding the mayor of our largest city to a lower standard then Joe Public? Shouldn't it be reversed?

This is the bit that really matters.

Define work hours for a Mayor.
When did the events regarding the credit cards happen since last Saturday?
As has bee indicated here before, if you can't prove it, don't go there. So, were you in the room when those text messages were sent and actually saw Len write and send them?

[Glizzle]

South Aucklanders know how to party!

[speights boy]

If the role was reversed and the Mayor had discovered a security guard having sex in the Ngati Whatua room at the Town Hall.

1. What employment action do you think the Mayor would have taken?
2. What employment action do you think the Mayor should have taken?

[Leftette]

Have them sacked in both cases, however it's not a reasonable parallel. The security guard is not in the public eye, using his/her family to advance his cause, raving on about his Christian values and representing the people of Auckland as Mayor. Someone called "Dave" says it best on Whaleoil with this: "He stood on a platform of trust and so called honesty, that has just been shattered, the people of Auckland DESERVE a leader they look up to, can trust and who is Honest. Len Brown is NONE of those, he has shown complete distrust and LIES, he must go, but lacks the moral conscious and standards to stand down. He is a lying coward".

[Glizzle]

a leader we can trust and look up too? oh utopia, should we go back to banks? haha
