In this episode of Solid Ground, Simon responds to viewers questions about the latest New Zealand-India Free Trade agreement and briefly discusses the latest spat between the Prime Minister and Winston Peters. He also shares some positive news coming out of the UK of a political candidate who was kicked out of his party due to being a Christian, but now having won a huge settlement in court for discrimination.
Simon also touches on another piece of breaking news coming out of the UK, another terrorist attack on two Jews. He highlights how the words many politicians are using are useless and deliberately obscure the reality of what is happening.
He then discusses the lack of reporting by mainstream media around an incident involving TV One reporter Maiki Sherman and another reporter, calling out the double standard in play.
The show finishes with Simon noting the irony of Iran just being voted in as a Vice-President of a nuclear non-proliferation committee at the UN.
