Sure. Worth every cent, regardless of t-shirt etc, but they'd be a fun bonus

"...if a paid subscription to More Than A Feilding included branded t-shirt and coffee mug and mask, would that improve the offer?"

I'm in the 'I'll subscribe anyway" brigade. Pass my mask on to Kate. Or Mike. Or Jason from the Herald.

You deserve the sub without resorting to bribery. Reading your email is a great way to finish the working day.

Awesome stuff, as always - but please add this public health announcement: When you get to the bit about the Act boys reading Ayn Rand then DON'T do this while trying to swallow a mouthful of tea or it will, guaranteed, spray out all over your laptop and desk. True fact.. Also I'm dibs in for subscription, with or without the goodie bag.

There's a bench in Christchurch dedicated to Gerry Brownlee - the bronze plaque reads THIS BENCH IS DEDICATED TO THE MEMORY OF GERRY BROWNLEE WHO HATES CHRISTCHURCH AND EVERYONE IN IT. And down here Southern Response was known as Southern No Response. Do not vote for the Punch and Judy show!
