So the people buying property in Victoria don’t actually live there?
Figures.
Been great afternoon watching him bowl.
This session with Starc and Cummins riveting.
Scoreboard ticking over at just under 1 run per over
I totally disagree. ScoMo set up the no basis in law “National Cabinet” and outsourced the destruction to the states. He could have prevented it and he could have, and could, stop it at any time, either by turning off the money spigot or by using the numerous relevant federal laws to strike down the tyranny. He hasn’t done any of this. Therefore he approves of what is happening. He’s not a weak idiot, he’s a traitor.
The vast majority agree with the State’s actions, State Elections on the COVID Response have proven that.
Scotty is just reflecting public opinion.
If he goes all AntiVaxxer, he’ll be replaced, simple as that.
Roger:
Then we need a recall mechanism for the High Court because it isn’t fit for the purpose it was designed for.
Crickit … wait for it … glorious!
Indolent at 5.49, totally agree, scumo has been the smirking assassin who is just putting the finishing touches to what the previous traitors set up.
NEWS SUMMARY INTELLIGENCE REPORT SUNDAY 12/26/2021 NEWSDUMP CHRISTMAS WEEKEND POLICE ATTACK PROTESTERS IN GERMANY FORBIDDEN WORDS USED TO DESCRIBE VAX PASSPORT IN ISRAEL VP HARRIS FORCED TO CLARIFY REMARKS
Rog – tests are often determined by individual acts of sheer will. The best test match footage I ever saw in the ground was this mighty denouement.
6 January 1994, Sydney, Aus V SA.
40 degrees, fourth innings, Australia needing just 117 to win.
Day 5 start of play, AB and Afghanistan batting, Aus 4-63.
Free entry on day 5, smoked a jay in Moore Park with Jack and then blundered on in. The third person I saw was Warney, said to him, “Great bowling Squire, let’s go out there and finish this off”.
“No worries, Rabz, It’s in the bag”.
In the old MA Noble stand, looking south on an otherwise unblemished azure sky only to see the Royal National Park going up in an all almighty blaze of black smoke (97% burnt out, it would be).
Fanie de Villiers’ bowling that morning was phenomenal. The Ozzies simply couldn’t play him. Most of his deliveries were simply good ol’ fashioned off (and occasionally leg) breaks sent down at just enough pace. The Ozzies lost their wickets at depressing regular intervals. Except of course, for Damien Martyn, who knew he was a mere rabbit in the spotlights.
Warnie of course, was run out for one, attempting another chancing Hansie’s arm in the deep, who grabbed the ball, hurled it before he’d turned around, to score a direct hit on the stumps.
At that point, we had a sneaking suspicion it was going to go all wrong. Which it did, despite the McDermott’s late heroics.
The joy of sport – it makes mugs of us all. 😕
The beauty of Test cricket is that time is still an element of the game. The best ones ebb and flow until the final session.
Winston.
Given that the role of the High Court is enshrined in the Constitution, what do you mean “not fit for purpose”?
How do you envisage a “recall mechanism” working?
Try to massage the script a bit more, Grigory.
It still sounds too much like something someone in the NSW Health typing pool wrote up for you…

An interesting scenario as all of them are probably tired of being the battlefield whenever the big boys get the shits about something.

Practically all of them are NATO Members already.
Sancho:
It’s fairly obvious to me that the Constitution isn’t fit for purpose, so the High Court – by definition – is also defined as not fit for purpose, along with the whole damn edifice.
Having a petition under a referendum to sack High Court judges?
How do most recall mechanisms work?
Either that or we just hand the entire nation over to the Brahmin Class as their personal sandpit.
All 30 hours of it, Bear. Try explaining to an American that a test match can be played over five days and still end up with no result.

*Or else it’s off to the showers with you, untermensch.
Indolent has nailed it.
Why hasn’t Morrison stopped it?
He keeps saying that stats should refer to hospitalisations, not overall covid numbers, yet he allows the premiers to act out their doom and gloom performances every day. He’s trying to project that he is the voice of reason, while those hysterical premiers defy his wise guidance.
He could – and should – end this fiasco immediately, but he won’t. The tin-eared tyrant thinks this is all shoring up his second term in The Lodge.
Bluddee hell – fee fi fo fum, I smell the blood of an Englishman …
I am reminded of Kerry “Skull” O’Keefe commentating on the ABC during a particularly one-sided Test.
Some ABC dweeb was banging on about the “ebb and flow” of Test cricket.
“Like a meandering English country lane” he says.
“Yes” says Skull. “Although this one is an eight lane freeway.”

I was going to write because he couldn’t, constitutionally. The states retain some sovereignty under federation and the HC wasn’t prepared to rule against that in the midst of the pandemic that wasn’t (what are they good for?).
But it’s also clear that he didn’t want to, for whatever reason (that is to say he did the political calculations). He could have closed the Commonwealth cheque book and the states would have been well and truly on their own. But he didn’t, presumably because he though tthe political cost would be too high.
As for the National Cabinet, it exists by convention following previous iterations. It’s certainly shown that Morrison had little in the way of persuasive powers over the state premiers, who were following their own political agendas.
And remember, all of this is underwritten by the electorate which continues to vote for the major parties. If UAP, PHON et. al. don’t benefit from a major protest vote next year it’ll confirm that complacency has well and truly set in, and that’s not good for our democracy.
Let’s hope.

Russian gas flows via Yamal-Europe pipeline reversed for 6th day (27 Dec)
This last week Russia reduced their flow of gas to the EU to zero. Hence gas is now running backwards up the pipeline from the storage to keep Poles from freezing. This is an interesting bit of good old fashion great power mercantilism. I wonder how it will turn out?
This is the problem Winston.

Clive Palmer tops list of most hated politicians in Australia ahead of Pauline Hanson and Barnaby Joyce after spamming millions of voters with annoying text messages
Palmer is apparently widely considered an odious joke, which necessarily rubs off on the whole UAP brand. Pauline has lost her cut through – and, apart from Amber Heard, nobody outside of New England has any time for the non-performing Beetrooter.
I hope I’m very wrong, but it’s not looking particularly bright for Australia and something better than the horrid prospect of an ALP/Green coalition.
Hopefully, that will finally get me off their email list, FFS. 🙂
Winston
The principal problem with getting a new Constitution is that the present Parasite class (politicians, media, academia, education et al) must be totally destroyed before drafting starts, lest we end up with a nightmare. Doing that will not be easy.
OK Winston.
Revolution.
AK time!
The chances of that actually happening are close to zero.
So, what then?
I’d like to say it already happened on the Lucinda, but I idolise Andrew Inglis Clark too much.
Milt, the MRC is like the Holy Roman Empire.
None of the three, it claims to be.
Just another skin suit eh Rabz.
There was a National Cabinet during WW2 in Australia.
Menzies let the Labor Party join it, a very dumb move.
Scotty is shrewd enough not to give Albanese a perch at the table, though.
Poms manage to save and lose the Test on a single day. That takes some doing.
The United Australia Party founder and former member for Fairfax in Queensland received a net approval rating of minus 51 in a recent survey published by Nine Newspapers.
Wow nine newspapers publishers of the Sydney Morning Vomit. Lotsa credibility there. Not.
I signed one online Trump petition in 2020.
Got stacks of emails trying to chisel donations/signatures from all sorts of Republican grifters.
I spent every day checking emails and unsubscribing from every new one that popped up.
It took weeks to rid myself of them.
Clearly they just farm out any email address they get to their network.
As I put it elsewhere, Clive Palmer is a flog, and I’m wary of his UAP, but how is that any worse than the majors? Let alone the greens.
Russia’s kept its Constitution since 1993. The 93 Consty replaced the 1978 model, and abolished the Soviet governmental system.
Putin joined Yeltsin’s team in 1999.
East Germany were going to draft a new Consty in 1989 at the fall of the Wall, but never did.
Our Constitution works.
When it’s not being ignored.
Actually that article in the Vomit seems like a crude hit piece against people who seem to be bugging David Crowe.
Palmer, Hanson, Joyce lead the list of least liked politicians by fauxfacts germalists. PS I don’t like Joyce either but for different reasons I’m certain.
Clive Palmer is a flog, and I’m wary of his UAP, but how is that any worse than the majors?
With Craig Kelly involved I’m willing to take a punt on them.
They are very skilled at that, Bear, especially when blundering around this continent on an Ashes tour.
See the Adelaide Test 2006. England 1st Innings, the Collingwood, 206, Kevni Pietersen, 158.
Yet they still managed to lose it after some epic Ozzie batting on the fifth day.
Palmer’s net disapproval in Fairfax by the time he abandoned the seat was a lot higher than -51.
He’s well placed to attack Labor from The Right, something the Liberals can’t take a risk on.
I’d say he’s good for either winning Senate seats or saving them for the Liberal Party in W.A. and Queensland and he could be a factor in Tasmania.
Voters in Hughes would be pretty dumb to return Craig Kelly but he won’t be short of funding.
Interesting to see if the Liberals spend much trying to hold on there.
The chances of that actually happening are close to zero.
Booster shots 4 – 6 with vaccine injuries piling up around them, I think people are going to be pretty pissed off. 4-6 is in 12 months time.

Because it’s an AstroTurf operation, same as PHON.
Only Liberal, National and Labor have Grassroots support.

It’s another AstroTurf operation run by Security Agencies.

New and extraordinary taxes should not be a surprise. ‘It’s the price we pay for living in a civilised society’ lol.
More accurately, it’s the temporally displaced price we pay for ‘feel good’ policies. It’s increasingly a scam.
We are no longer talking about measured taxation and well deployed spending for the greater good, we are talking about crony-capitalist, politically captured gears of government oiled by our blood, sweat and tears (our money).
You may not see it when your favourite politician announces some big new boondoggle, but rest assured – the bill always comes. It just doesn’t look like it’s connected…and that mental disconnect is by design.
Stop. Calling. For. More. Government. Spending.

Isn’t voting for Clive Palmer as most hated politician, the same as voting for John Howard as the most hated politician?
I expect there will be John Howard is not funding the party – but is it because he can’t ?

Your Google-fu is failing Mr Ed. There was a War Cabinet, comprising Government ministers, and an Advisory War Council which included Opposition members. Note the words “Advisory” and “Council”. They have significance which seems to have escaped you.
PS, fvck off fvckwit.
No, they don’t. I’d go so far to say that maybe only Pauline and UAP have grassroot support. The LDP has grown as many Liberals left in disgust.
Branch stacking and fossil activists signing up kids and the senile isn’t “grassroots support”.
Blue collar unionists certainly don’t support a lot of what the ALP does. Liberals are disgusted with their own party. The Greens have a genuinely conservationist wing that is ignored by baizuo and Marxists.
Ah yes, widespread community support to what…Kyoto Treaty? How many people actually understand that? Ban incandescent lights? Have a referendum for a republic with an appointed President? Run inflation at a constant 3%+? Civil forfeiture without a warrant?
Quite true!
It must really suck having a right to free speech, self defence, the right not to self incriminate, a right to privacy, etc…LOL.
You absolute dick faced rake addicted clown.
Mr Ed
The Greens is an interesting one, it certainly doesn’t represent Environmentalists.
Stop grazing in the Mary Jane patch. The Slime is the home of the former Trotskyists. For that reason, it probably has a fair percentage of security moles. Like you.
If the Russians turn off the gas, the Germans will be seriously hurt. The Poles and some central European nations still have coal power, and the French have nuclear. The Germans shut down their nuclear power stations as “nuclear is naughty”, and they shut down their coal power stations to save the world from CO2; Germany is wholly dependent on Russia for gas for its electricity generation.
That probably explains why the Bible says that Edom (Germany, Austria and spread through other eastern European nations) joins with the league of nations led by the person who establishes the Beast Kingdom who makes war with the House of Israel and the House of Judah. I find that very sad, the Edomites and the Israelis are first-cousins, and they have all contributed to this wonderful thing called western civilization. They may have square heads but their contribution to music, art, engineering, science and other fields has been immense, but they can’t help themselves, martial strivings is in their DNA. Esau, their father, was a mighty hunter whereas Jacob (Israel), his brother, was a shepherd. God likes shepherds.
Obadiah 1:18
And the house of Jacob shall be a fire, and the house of Joseph a flame, and the house of Esau for stubble, and they shall kindle in them, and devour them; and there shall not be any remaining of the house of Esau; for the LORD hath spoken it.

Bloke I know doesn’t like Craig Kelly but voted for him coz liberal. Who are you going to vote for? liberal tosser? I already know even though he doesn’t, the greens. Every time we talk about politics its all about saving the planet, whales or whatever. He bought a prius? Believes anything the media tell him. He’s a really nice bloke just hopeless.

No offence to WA Cats, but…
I’d like to see the UAP sweep into power Federally so that fat Clive could use the Commonwealth to wreak revenge on Sneakers, savagely reaming his government up the tradesmen’s entrance with funding cuts and every conceivable act of bastardry he can think of, in retaliation for Sneakers’ totalitarian abuse of legislative power denying fat Clive the right to have his case heard in Court under the law under which his contract with WA was entered into.
That might make the UAP a one term government, but it might just teach Sneakers and a few other people that the concept of “actions have consequences” applies to trashing the rule of law as much as to anything else.
Compulsory voting. For imbeciles, by imbeciles.

A horrendous piece of shit of a film. Hollywood propaganda at its most blatant.
There is a comet heading toward earth but not enough people give a shit. Especially the people in power who are moronic airheads. The film stars ‘climate change’ as the comet and Meryl Streep as Donald Trump, who convinces people not to ‘look up’.
The only bit that goes slightly off script is the tech billionaire with his private rocket fleet. Musk? Probably. He’s been pissing off a few lefties lately.

ScoMo ought to announce tomorrow that this is just theft, and that for every dollar that Victoria raises by this tax, $2 will be knocked off their Commonwealth grants.
I’ll bet good money that death duties will be next on the agenda.
‘I ask why they can’t be posted here.’
You sure did. After bagging this exceptional journal of record to the shithouse on another site today (whose name rhymes with, oh I don’t know, ‘Furniture Shop’) because you think you’re being censored by Big Internet.
That was before the latest instalment of red leather shoes and pizzas in tunnels.

No offence taken, this WA Cat will also be voting UAP, and putting my sitting member (LNP) last.

Maybe Knuckles has the answer.

I dunno.
Can I?
Victorians voted for the Tax, they can have the Tax.
As far as Death Duties are concerned, Abolition was one of the Worst thin gs that ever happened, it just encouraged Greed and mindless Hoarding.
Wonder why Wages have stayed static in real terms for 50 years?
Abolition of State Death Duties is up there as a cause.
Wonder why you’re in the Top Marginal Tax bracket yet you’re just a Battler?
Take away one of the States revenue streams and they become dependent on The Feds, who’ve also got to get the money somehow.
So instead of a small percentage paying, everyone has got to kick in to make up the shortfall.

“On July 14, 1933, the German government instituted the “Law for the Prevention of Progeny with Hereditary Diseases.” This law called for the sterilization of all persons who suffered from diseases considered hereditary, including mental illness, learning disabilities, physical deformity, epilepsy, blindness, deafness, and severe alcoholism. With the law’s passage the Third Reich also stepped up its propaganda against the disabled, regularly labeling them “life unworthy of life” or “useless eaters” and highlighting their burden upon society.”

It’s always good coming from pompous east coasters (usually imports) with an inferiority complex so large that they need to focus on our little issues while ignoring their own shithole forming in their backyards for decades.
Anyway, that’d be good to see but would only create an ‘us and them’ situation which Uncle Sneakers would dine out on.
Now, if PM Clive could drag Daddy Sneakers personally into court then that may be something.
Mrs Faulty, instead of being your usual whingeing and poor, downtrodden, victimised self, why not try a spot of lateral thinking.

He’ll probably have to take a number, Elvis.
I suspect every corporate association and individual business that can already has handloaded its very best and shiniest lawyers with the gnarliest arguments available, on anything. Particularly if Sneakers keeps mucking them about on the borders and Coof restrictions.
And I wouldn’t expect lawsuits, but a great deal of contractual shafting and calling in of penalty clauses. It will hit us as taxpayers in the end, but we all agreed that ol’ Sneaky was our ‘State Daddy,’ didn’t ‘we?*’

If (((they)) build the webway*, need I describe myself as a natural person using a conveyance or not?
*Instead of the Lords of Terra.
**Ever noticed the Imperial Eagle looks like Kairos Fateweaver?
Piss-easy, Grigory!
Costs of living and inflation outstripping real value of the currency, and the work done.
Add in the de facto ‘End of the world’ taxes levied on us by the costs of freighting imported materials, the limitations on productivity inflicted by hyper-regulated workforces and industries and a bureaucratic state well-established in throttling anything that might be valuable or fun.
Rex,
Love your thoughts on WA.
Elvis good evening.
Ed gets moist thinking of those dead bodies and all the untapped treasures awaiting within.

Pffft. The Lion had no trouble saying ‘No’ to him. Ditto the Khan. Dunno about why anyone else found it so damned hard.

My Mariah Carey Christmas song videos won’t post here.
What’s going on?
It may be the universe attempting to show that there is a GOD in heaven.

The soft-handed WEF head plonker would never have done a days physical work in his life! After a day trimming horses’ hoofs in summer my work shirts and jeans can just about walk themselves to the washing machine!
Clearly, these idiots think that everyone lives a comfortable, inanely-smiling, cafe-going life in an inner city apartment, needs to go to a gym to even raise a sweat, and has no access to sunlight and a breeze to dry their clothes. It’s kind of them to allow that underwear should be washed after every wearing though.
Such divorce from the reality of the rest of the world is dangerous when these WEF Uber-wealthy types are the people believing they have the right to make the rules for us to live by.
How many people were ever in a Financial position to do that anyway?
The way you carry on, you’d think it was Expropriation.
Have some cherries at Christmas.

Abstract
Increased oxidative stress contributes to development and progression of several human chronic inflammatory diseases. Cherries are a rich source of polyphenols and vitamin C which have anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. Our aim is to summarize results from human studies regarding health benefits of both sweet and tart cherries, including products made from them (juice, powder, concentrate, capsules); all referred to as cherries here. We found 29 (tart 20, sweet 7, unspecified 2) published human studies which examined health benefits of consuming cherries. Most of these studies were less than 2 weeks of duration (range 5 h to 3 months) and served the equivalent of 45 to 270 cherries/day (anthocyanins 55–720 mg/day) in single or split doses. Two-thirds of these studies were randomized and placebo controlled. Consumption of cherries decreased markers for oxidative stress in 8/10 studies; inflammation in 11/16; exercise-induced muscle soreness and loss of strength in 8/9; blood pressure in 5/7; arthritis in 5/5, and improved sleep in 4/4. Cherries also decreased hemoglobin A1C (HbA1C), Very-low-density lipoprotein (VLDL) and triglycerides/high-density lipoprotein (TG/HDL) in diabetic women, and VLDL and TG/HDL in obese participants. These results suggest that consumption of sweet or tart cherries can promote health by preventing or decreasing oxidative stress and inflammation.

Abstract
Cherry (Prunus Cerasus) is still one of the most popular preserve in Turkish cuisine. Cherry has been traditionally used for the treatment of inflammatory-related symptoms. Recent researches have proved that cherry is a valuable natural source of some important bioactive compounds in human health preservation. Evidence suggests that, cherry consumption may decrease the risk of chronic diseases and cancer. The aim of the present study was to determine the effects of cherry on breast cancer cells lines, asymmetric dimethylarginine (ADMA) level and certain multidrug-resistant bacteria. The cancer cell proliferation activity and analysis of apoptotic-necrotic cells was evaluated by using the 3-[4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl]-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) and scoring of apoptotic cell nuclei. Measurement of ADMA and the minimum inhibitory concentration was accomplished by HPLC and the micro dilution broth method. The results showed that, extracts of cherry exhibit anti-proliferative activity in mammary adenocarcinoma (MCF-7) & mouse mammary tumor cell (4T1) breast cancer cells lines as well as induction of apoptosis, lower ADMA concentrations in cell cultures treated with cherry extract and antibacterial effects against certain multidrug-resistant bacteria in vitro. These findings may open new horizons for traditional anti-inflammatory product as prophylactic-therapeutic agent from cancer, cardiovascular diseases and multidrug-resistant infections.
Custard,
All the best to you and the family for the new year and hope you had a great Christmas, mate.
I also forgot the taxation burden on all folks, and its relation to the welfare state.
Now, far be it from me to suggest that a safety net is unnecessary (and having been a beneficiary for a time, I would not). But knowing that Grigs is being dishonest and stupid in favour of griefing people about a regressive tax (which a Death Duty is, thanks to the efforts the rich – Its natural and intended targets – will go to deny the State its desires), I won’t mention it.
Only that Grigs needs to fuck off back into his corner and read a few Federal and State Budgets, and the proportion of all input that is not personal income tax.
And to make sure he stays there and properly crunches his numbers, he does not get an abacus. Only 2 sheets of A4 paper and a blunt pencil…
No expropriation without representation, Grigory…
Many people from the middle class with humble beginnings are easily capable of this after a working life.
It is expropriation, this and an unrealised capital gain tax should be resisted at almost any cost, you ignorant, braindead commie twit.
The Angers certainly did.
White Cherries, even.
We certainly felt our Fibre Privilege the next day (Oy Vey!)
Mangoes next… 🙂
Yeah, for birds.
The human digestive system isn’t designed to extract Vitamin C and Polyphenols from fruits, so there’s not much point eating them, apart from feeding your Metabolic Syndrome.
And crystalline salt is toxic…
…Which is why you sprinkle it on your gypsum.
Kissed.
The movie about a lady necrophilliac that’s more romantic than either the Twilight series or Love Actually.
Thus spake The Duke of Dottyland?
2 separate issues, State Death Duties is a positive Tax, how often was the Court’s clogged up with mindles disputes over someone’s Will in the Death Duties days?
I’ll tell you:
Rare as Rocking Horse shit.
Unrealised Capital Gains Tax sounds like something Whitlam woulda done if he hadna been turfed out.
You’re sounding disturbingly like Winston Smith there.
What cost do you say would be unacceptable?
Thanks DOT. Having just returned from the gym and perhaps going overboard on the dead lifts some cherries might be in order to reduce delayed onset muscle soreness which according to a study I recently saw is associated with inflammation.
The anti-cancer stuff promoted so often is typically misleading because the dosages required are huge. Polyphenols though have a range of benefits.
The “Red Berets” Association, in Perth, issued a statement when that film was released – that the film was a very fine war drama, but was best seen as fiction.
What is a mindles dispute?
Is that when you dispute the formation of gypsumbergs during the pleistociene era?
https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/Mindel
Depends if you are registered with your local Navigator’s Guild, or are a Primarch I suspect…
Rex, we live in hope.
At least if it’s a sideways gotcha tax we can feel like we’ve bought our tickets to the greatest show on earth (pollie, Sneakers, court lynchings)…
Is it just me or does there seem to be a greater proportion of Sandgropers lurking on the Cat nowadays?
Death taxes are shit.
People who support death taxes are shit lovers.
Lots of German style depravity with stool shelf dunnies and glass topped coffee tables at Ed’s corprophilliac emporium.
Well said, Dot – death duties are nothing more then the politics of envy at their finest. How DARE you work, and mange your financial affairs, so as to pass on something to the next generation!
manage your financial affairs, FFS..
Yeah. I came for the Black Berets and armour (It made me very happy in my sponsons 🙂 ) and stayed for the Red Berets and small-unit tactics.
And Robert Redford. And Sean Connery.
This is a great little natter on the subject and its geography, from a former sailor:

93.5% of death tax lovers also think parents sending kids to private schools is “ unfair”.
They are just bugmen
Yeah.
Unfortunately, we are likely to see retribution exacted in a relatively silent and unquantifiable way- Reconsidered and redirected private investment, deferred or stillborn resources projects and startups m, and movement of existing businesses (where practical) into jurisdictions deemed less ‘risky.’ Or the withering of un-redirectable economic activity in WA.
No no no. Everyone still lives in a fibro and there has never been an opportunity to sell up and leave GWS, The Shire or Brookvale and move to the (regional) coast or rural inland. No one in the country has a job, there are no high productivity jobs out there and rent isn’t cheap west of the Great Dividing Range.
Ah yes. Bring back death duties and there is nothing left to fight over. You’re a genius, you idiot.
You sound disturbingly like a pathetic excuse for a human being who is incapable of work, saving or innovation and you desire to punish those who can.
Only because he needed a fresh source of untouched income to ravish to feed his profligacy and ideological incompetence.
Fuck off and fail at someone else, Grigory.
I do as well.
There should be no compulsion to send children to any school.
For example, literacy rate fell in Massachusetts in the 1800s when public schooling was introduced.
Once you are literate, you can educate yourself as much as you want to need to and you can make up your own mind.
The internet made schools, Post Offices and public broadcasters totally and utterly obsolete.
the literacy rate
Dot.
The 95.3% dislike it for a slightly different reason to you.
gawd you’re a sour bunch
Dont look up took the p155
nuance lost
This is cool.

The much maligned British Guards Amoured Division had to put up with an awful lot of shit, from the Americans, who had virtually ensured the failure of the operation, by failing to follow their orders, in the first place. After the slow start to the operation, the “turretheads” arrived in Nijmegen at just before midday, September 19th. The road to Arnhem was open, Frost’s battalion held the bridge at Arnhem, there was just one teensy wheeny little problem….
Internet don’t do parcels yet, Dot.
It can dispatch, but it cannot deliver…
Yep.
The 82nd’s bridge was not cleared.
The dicking about to secure the Grosbeeck Heights meant that a single SS Recce Battalion (a very lightly armed, though highly mobile formation) could take the bridge unmolested, and hang onto it while heavier infantry, armour and artillery reinforcements were sent up and dug in.
That whole folboat assault need not have happened…
That’s just silly as well as being rubbish.
Abolition of Death Duties in Qld was sold at the 1974 State Election because the Majority of people don’t understand the reasons for Taxation, don’t know that there’s No Free Lunch and live in a fantasy World where they’re gonna die rich at 99 from winning Lotto a coupla times.
The Majority of Queensland are Public Servants?
Figures…
Try Tiny Url
How could that be?
Did all the people who were literate previously suddenly become illiterate again?
Here’s a tip:
don’t believe everything you read on the Lew Rockwell site.
Yep. The other slur on the honour of the British tankies was all the malarkey about “stopping to drink tea” after said “folboat assault.” Five or six British Shermans, with no ammunition for their main gun, running low on fuel, and without infantry support, crossed the bridge and set off up the road to Arnhem.
They lost two tanks, before falling back on Nijmegen, and waiting for infantry support.
Did all the people who were literate previously suddenly become illiterate again?
Is it, perhaps, possible that the older among them died, and the younger ones who were subjected to state schooling had a lower literacy rate, so the literacy rate declined?
So far Grigory, you are the only human being* who repeatably demonstrates this trait. So we can freely dismiss this ambit.
* This hypothesis remains untested, however…
After the survivors of the British paratroopers, had been withdrawn across the Rhine, an irate paratrooper yelled at a group of Irish Guards tankies
“Did you have a nice drive up?”
“Glory be to God” was the reply “We’ve been here since D-Day, not just Sunday!”
A creditable effort by the Guards.
And ballsy, too.
2 separate issues, State Death Duties is a positive Tax, how often was the Court’s clogged up with mindles disputes over someone’s Will in the Death Duties days?
I’ll tell you:
Rare as Rocking Horse shit.
Got any stats for that?
As best I recall when I was studying Succession in law school in 1981 there was no shortage of Court judgements about estate disputes for us to learn from.
Unlikely.
No matter the literacy rate of the School goers, education in Massachusetts was compulsory.
Dot is saying that the Literacy rate was lower when Education became compulsory than it was beforehand.
Apart from being highly unlikely, that’s also a Nietschean point of view.
Yeah, from 600 years of English Law there probably woulda been no shortage of Cases.
Wherever you are, get a hold of a Yellow Pages from 1974 [when State Death Duties were still Law], compare the numbers under Solicitors from then and now, and you might get a clue what i’m saying.
You probably know this already, but the commander of those tanks was one Peter Carrington – he went on to become Minister of Defense , in the Thatcher Government, at the time of the Falklands war.

I didn’t, but I do now…

Wherever you are, get a hold of a Yellow Pages from 1974 [when State Death Duties were still Law], compare the numbers under Solicitors from then and now, and you might get a clue what i’m saying.
If we had been studying English cases you might have had a point.
And what makes you think that the numbers of solicitors doing estate work now is greater than in 1974? There have been other developments in the law since 1974. Take a look at the size of the statute books now compared with 1974. There was virtually no such thing as environmental law when I started my career. Nor was there anything resembling anti-discrimination law. The Trade Practices Act was only passed in 1975. The Administrative Appeals Tribunal was established in 1975 and the Federal Court was established in 1977.
As I asked before, have you got any actual stats to back up your assertion?
Grigs wanting to claim there are fewer lawyers now than before, when Death Taxes were about?
Grigory, fuck off back into your corner and eat your Tort[e] Law.
If you can read it, that is…
Same here Rex.
I never knew the English translation to La Marseillaise (French national anthem) until now. It’s awful.
Arise, children of the Fatherland
Our day of glory has arrived
Against us the bloody flag of tyranny
is raised; the bloody flag is raised.
Do you hear, in the countryside
The roar of those ferocious soldiers?
They’re coming right into your arms
To cut the throats of your sons, your comrades!
To arms, citizens!
Form your battalions
Let’s march, let’s march
That their impure blood
Should water our fields.
Grigory, if you were a smart troll, you would have argued that this was to be expected, since the pool of prospective students for edyewmayshin would have provided a much bigger denominator for the Massachusetts statisticians.
Unfortunately for you, you are a stupid one and chose to snark and flap your useless little T-rex hands instead.
Have you found us a WW2 General Officer (of any nation) who was promoted despite his demonstrated incompetence in WW1 yet?
Still waiting for that failure to properly complete itself…
Timothy, if possible, have a look at the volume of taxation law changes from 1980’s onward. Then Keating brought in taxation rulings which did not have force in law but were widely referenced. I think in the 70’s most accountants only needed a single CCH volume for most tax returns. Now what is required can probably fill a bookshelf. I’m relying on very distant and not employment related memories so others should have more information.
So it isn’t just the new laws, it is the expansion of existing laws.
Oy Vey.
Then again, the Sovs used to grovel and fellate ol’ Vlad and Joe in their national anthem for some 30 years. The just Vlad:
Unbreakable Union of freeborn Republics,
Great Russia has welded forever to stand.
Created in struggle by will of the people,
United and mighty, our Soviet land!
Sing to the Motherland, home of the free,
Bulwark of people in brotherhood strong.
O Party of Lenin, the strength of the people,
To Communism’s triumph lead us on!
Through tempests the sunrays of freedom have cheered us,
Along the new path where great Lenin did lead.
To a righteous cause he raised up the people,
Inspired them to labor and valorous deed.
[Or, the old way:
Be true to the people, thus Stalin has reared us,
Inspire us to labor and valorous deed!]
Sing to the Motherland, home of the free,
Bulwark of people in brotherhood strong.
O Party of Lenin, the strength of the people,
To Communism’s triumph lead us on!
In the vict’ry of Communism’s deathless ideal,
We see the future of our dear land.
And to her fluttering scarlet banner,
Selflessly true we always shall stand!
Sing to the Motherland, home of the free,
Bulwark of peoples in brotherhood strong.
O Party of Lenin, the strength of the people,
To Communism’s triumph lead us on!
