DIFFICULT TIMES AHEAD WARNS Gordon Rose

Just when most people have given up and want a quiet life Gordon Rose is going on the offensive. Recently I paid a visit to a man who is nearly 90 years old and who had requested an audience with me.

Gordon spent his working life as a builder extraordinaire and inventor (one of his specialities is the largest model of a Moa). His keen understanding of geo-politics led him to warn America about the threat of Japanese aggression when he was in Pearl Harbour just before it was bombed.

Gordon is once again alerting people to the coming economic crisis that will see many ratepayers in dire straits. Rates are going to be a serious problem to many people including the elderly, Gordon warns. Gordon is not happy with the direction the city has taken and the continuing shift of business rates onto the residents.
