DA Poo #11 – Psychopath Mark Allan

Mike Hampton Posted on by

“Do politicians steal? Or is it that we’re giving them whatever they want? Surely that’s the only way an outsider could interpret us doing nothing about it? We’re like a healthy person laying down to die. But it hasn’t been as simple as that for me. I didn’t lie down and so they came for me. Being beaten and mugged several times in my life cannot compare to the cruelty I faced in Knysna. The DA was willing to do anything to maintain power through cover-up. The National Party, the … Read the full article…

DA Poo #12 – Conversation with cows

Mike Hampton Posted on by

“Expecting a political party to be honest and altruistic is as useful as a conversation with a cow. I’ve got nothing against cows but I’m adverse to the Knysna Council Chamber. Politicians called councillors still meet there to moo or deny the recommendations of municipal officials. The decisions I witnessed were not always in our best interest. An impartial person might consider the Council Chamber conservatively tasteful but I spent too many years making my arse sore in the Public gallery. I found the photos of Government leaders adorning the … Read the full article…

DA Poo #13 – DA makes fraudster a councillor

Mike Hampton Posted on by

“The DA-led Bitou Municipality commissioned a report in 2011, into irregularities between itself and a company called Xylophone Investments No 10 CC. The result showed that Rowan Spies, who’d become a DA Councillor in 2016, had been involved in fraud and graft. It was reported that there was ANC connection. At the time, his wife, Eleanore Spies, was the ANC Mayor of Knysna. One payment had gone into their joint account. After the DA made Eleanore their Knysna Mayor in 2016, an opposing faction of the DA forced an investigation … Read the full article…

DA Poo #14 – I’m inside this pretty box they gave me

Mike Hampton Posted on by

“I’m inside a pretty box that feels real, taught to believe that everything outside is terrifying darkness. So no matter how much my little-little box keeps shrinking-shrinking, I’m going to bend and squeeze to stay inside it… and never discover that inside is the lie, and everything outside is all that matters. Constitutional democracy is more for the politicians than voters… which makes them fear other politicians more than us. There’s always someone who wants their chair, or to fight them for the chair with the bigger cushion. From our … Read the full article…

DA Poo #15 – Whiny bitches

Mike Hampton Posted on by

“Face it, if you’re the average citizen, you don’t control your future. Not because you can’t but because you’re lazy. You’re like almost everyone else who allows others to make important decisions for them. Then you bitch about the Government at a braai, or during the intermission of a rugby or soccer game. And you feel ok cause you’re drinking a beer in the company of other whiny bitches. If I just described you, the biggest question in your life should be, “Who do I want to control my future?” … Read the full article…

DA Poo #16 – Please rob my house

Mike Hampton Posted on by

“The central question is whether the spending of taxpayer’s money requires oversight? It may seem to be the dumbest question of all time yet remains the most relevant. In our beautiful, undeniably fucked up country, citizens complain in crescendos of whispers. About burst pipes, broken roads, electricity prices, preventable petrol increases, preventable fluctuations of our currency, and so many other things. Yet the overwhelming majority do nothing to stop the rotten element in our Government that’s making us bankrupt. It’s like they’re yelling, “Don’t leave me out, come rob my … Read the full article…
