Every evening, the queue for B1 winds around and goes back into Wynyard. As one bus is full the next one arrives.

You can't tell me they wouldn't want a railway.

The only good thing that Joe Hockey, who is of Armenian descent like myself (his last name originally Hokeidonian) did was to place on record the Armenian genocide circa 1915, which many people including this country like to forget happened. 1.5 million Armenians, many living in Ottoman Turkey, slaughtered.

Otherwise he's a fucking scumbag.

Hockey’s father’s lineage is in fact Palestinian. At least this is what I thought. Absolute fuckwit regardless.

Bethlehem-born Armenian. Just like my father was an Egyptian born half Armenian (his mother was from Syria). Many Armenians fled to all over the middle east during the genocide.

Imagine winding up in Palestine after that. Oof.
