Polly Stewart, we salute you.

Polly Stewart is a New Zealander, a trained journalist, who now lives in the UK.

She runs an online magazine, Woman-On-Top, described as ‘The UK’s first mag-e-zine for working women’. She interviewed me at some length for her article, and explored some issues with commendable thoroughness.

Polly devoted more time, effort, integrity, and skill to the piece, than was shown collectively by all the mainstream media ‘journalists’ who’ve attacked J4MB and myself over the past three weeks (interestingly, the comments streams following their pieces have been overwhelmingly supportive of J4MB analyses and policy positions). And that’s why we say:

Polly Stewart, we salute you.

Maybe one day a mainstream media publication will publish a piece of this quality. We won’t hold our breath…

One thought on “Polly Stewart, we salute you.

  1. “Mike resigned on principle, as did a number of other party members. The party later abandoned this proposal due to its unpopularity.”

    I know you resigned but not that others also resigned and that the proposal was later dropped.

    those additional facts I consider very important because of context.
    one person leaving is considered a personal issue, several people leaving is a principles objection issue.
    dropping a proposal is the result of listening to the stakeholders.

    I say well done to you on a more objective interview, I’m quite happy that someone would disagree because that is their right and they disagree not attack( attacking is the sign of someone who has lost arguement befgore it begins)

    “On that basis Polly I’m a feminist; you’d have to be a serious dinosaur not to be, and I’m not, though I’m often portrayed as one,” Mike said.

    that is a very good quote!

    again well done mike, a well handled interview, much more objective than some of the stuff that passes for journalism. Hopefully Polly Stewart won’t get attacked by other groups for daring to be open minded.
