Luxon

[Wainuiguy]

ummmm, i dont want to break up your little shit kicking party here, but i skim read the article.[
its not mr luxon that referred to supermarket stockers and nurses as bottom feeders. that would be the writer mr campbell.

LetÔÇÖs be clear just who it is that Luxon is writing off here. His ÔÇ£bottom feedingÔÇØ category includes the people who stack the supermarket shelves and run the checkout tills, the nurses who care for the aged, the cleaners, the security guards, the people who drive ambulances, the baggage handlers, the teacher aides, the people who take out the rubbish and the people who serve him his coffee. Plus every solo parent trying to raise a child on a benefit, everyone on a sickness benefit or everyone suffering with mental health problems.

that assessment of who 'bottom feeders' are was kindly provided by the writer, who then goes on to lambast him for saying it.
when i read it i saw 'bottom feeding' as being benefit spongers and ferals and the unemployable. it certainly didnt conjure up images of barefoot, raggedy arse dental assistants with prison tatts or dope smoking wastrels driving the bus.

that was as far as i got before i was distracted by the praying mantis thats died midstep on one of the shutters.
but im sure the rest of it is just as fanciful?

Exactly Magoo - the writter believes those people to be bottom feeders not Luxon.
Then there is the story, third hand, about the flight attendant sitting next to Luxon on the plane.  The entire "article" was a hit job, and a shit one at that.
