Julia Morris is the one person I didn’t want to win the Gold Logie and I needn’t have worried. She was the opening act and completely unfunny, I didn’t crack a smile during the entire routine. Made me nostalgic for the good old unfunny days of Wendy Harmer.
Claudia Carvan, a non-comedian or comedienne, was funnier than the opening Logies stand-up opening performer.
Costa the garden gnome did not win a Logie. I would have preferred that Graham Ross did for Better Homes and Gardens but some obscure travel program won instead.
It seems everybody at the Logies was funnier than the opening act but then that wasn’t such a feat seeing as Julia Morris w s nun as a toothache.
Now that I have seen the comedy shows nominations, comedy in Australia is mostly accidental.
I should check the spell checker next time, Julia Morris is as funny as a toothache.
Jimmy Rees should have been the opening act.
As someone has already said, Patty Newton was the class act of 2022 Logie awards.

How homosexual is this Longines ad at their website peddling a new watch line? Jeez.
Who is that ad aimed at?
Targeting one specific group is always tricky, see Gillette.

Presumably African homosexuals, or white homosexual men preferring black partners.
Especially if it targets the 2% of the market that’s homosexual.
BTW, Gillette’s latest Australian ads using Test cricket captain Pat Cummins (and some upstart latino kid who’s just discovered he has bum fluff) are so bad they’re embarrassing.

FINA just banned blokes pretending to be chicks from international swimming.
I’m going to say it. FINA has balls.

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=qYQl-zv4uO0
Amen. Well done to FINA. Let’s see how all round cheat and pervert, Lie Thomas, deals with this…….HE was thinking he’d get to the Olympics to swim against women.
“Transgender swimming participation vote: FINA’s historic decision with bombshell twist
Swimming’s world governing body FINA has made the historic decision to ban transgender athletes from competing in elite women’s races but with a bombshell twist that could change international sport forever.
As well as making a landmark ruling that only biological women can compete in female events – FINA has also proposed separate “open” races that will cater for transgender athletes who don’t fit into the traditional gender categories.
The watershed decision – passed by a vote of the FINA Congress in Budapest – will send shockwaves through the sports world, putting pressure on other sports in their slipstream while triggering an avalanche of support and condemnation right across the globe.
Sports group Athlete Ally quickly slammed the news, tweeting: “FINA’s new eligibility criteria for transgender athletes and athletes with intersex variations is discriminatory, harmful, unscientific and not in line with the 2021 IOC principles. If we truly want to protect women’s sports, we must include all women.”
But British swimmer Sharron Davies praised swimming’s leaders for having the cuts to make the tough call that other sports have been running from.
“I can’t tell you how proud I am of my sport @fina & @fina_president for doing the science, asking the athletes/coaches and standing up for fair sport for females. Swimming will always welcome everyone no matter how you identify but fairness is the cornerstone of sport.”
FINA members, representing over 150 countries including Australia, voted 71% in support of a policy that will ban transgender women from female events once they reach puberty or the age of 12 – unless they have already transitioned.
However, the rules will only apply at FINA sanctioned events, including the Olympics and world championships.
Individual countries will still be able to determine their own regulations for domestic competitions.
The momentous ruling will kick in as early as next week, meaning swimming’s highest-profile transgender athlete, American Lia Thomas, won’t be able compete in women’s races at the 2024 Paris Olympics and beyond.
“We have to protect the rights of our athletes to compete,” FINA President Husain Al-Musallam said. “But we also have to protect competitive fairness at our events, especially the women’s category at FINA competitions.”
Female athletes who transition to men (transgender men) will be allowed to compete in FINA competitions in the men’s category.
But transgender women – who transition from men – will be deemed ineligible after FINA heard evidence from scientists that it is unfair for biological men to race against women.
In one case study provided by the scientific group, it was shown that once boys reached the age of 14, they could outswim the fastest open age female swimmers in history.
Professor Sandra Hunter, who graduated from the University of Sydney and is an expert in human performance, told the Congress the scientific evidence was overwhelming:
“Let’s be clear, testosterone is anabolic steroid and energises athletic performance,” she said.
The Congress also heard from Australian swimming legend Cate Campbell, who made an impassioned speech calling for delegates to vote to protect female athletes but also to find a way to include transgender athletes.
American Summer Sanders also spoke, with both women saying they expected to be criticised for going public, but felt obliged to ‘do the right thing’.
FINA responded to the calls for some inclusion by announcing it would establish a working party to look at creating a separate category.- something no sport has ever done before.
“Athletes who do not meet the applicable criteria for the men’s category or the women’s category may compete in any open events that FINA may develop in the future,” the proposal stated.
“FINA will begin work following the final promulgation of this Policy to determine the feasibility of establishing an open category in Aquatics sport disciplines, in which an athlete who meets the eligibility criteria for that event would be able to compete without regard to their sex, their legal gender, or their gender identity.”
Husain said the open category meant there would be a race for everyone at elite level, declaring: “FINA will always welcome every athlete.
“This has not been done before, so FINA will need to lead the way. I want all athletes to feel included in being able to develop ideas during this process.”
It’s uncertain now whether open races will ever be included at the biggest events such as the Olympic Games.
The IOC President Thomas Bach flew to Hungary to address the Congress but did not talk about the transgender issues and left before the vote was taken.
The most divisive issue that world sport has faced since apartheid, FINA secretly set up a taskforce six months ago, in the hope of finding workable solution to a debate where there’s no simple win-win answer.
As exclusively revealed by News Corp, FINA sought expert opinions from distinguished international scientists, human rights and lawyers, and athletes, including trans competitors.
The details were kept secret but FINA broke with tradition by allowing the full membership to vote on the issue after the executive board recommended the policy be accepted.”
The fact that such a decision is even remotely “controversial” shows just how clownish our world has become.
Transwomen are NOT women.

UK to save world by burning 120 million trees a year and stuffing some under the North Sea
Ponder that the Greens say that Net Zero will prevent forest fires, and so we arrive at a point where The Science apparently says we have to incinerate 120 million trees a year to stop forests burning. Witches never had it this easy.
The UK Government says that 120 million trees is not a number they can use in a screenplay or something like that:
Speaking to The Telegraph, a spokesman for the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (Beis) said that the plans are not final, and that they ‘do not recognise this characterisation’ of the number of trees being burnt.
Presumably the trees would not identify as “burnt” either.
The “logic” defies belief.

A five year old can’t open a box? I call bullshit, have they ever tried an orderly Christmas morning?
Bloody hell kids will line up if they learn by doing normal everyday things with their parents (buying stuff at a shop) or they do as they are told by a scary authority figure because they are five.
Infuriating. Give them a “buddy” in two lines and they will stay there because they will start yapping.
Sweet jesus these people must have retarded kids if they can’t open a box.
We don’t need a money pit for this bullshit.
These weirdos want your kids from 3 to 22.
They can screw off.
Julian Dennison, a kiwi. He was Ricky Baker in Hunt for the Wilderpeople, which is a bit of a cult NZ movie.
Haven’t seen it, but the kids tell me it’s very good.

What a ridiculous sense of entitlement. Strong enough to bankrupt Victoria and NSW in aggregate.
Perrotett has been exposed as a left wing loonie. There’s the upside.
A five year old kid who wants something that’s inside a box – any box – will open it, and either eat, play with or destroy that thing.
The kid could have plaster casts on both arms, and mittens on. The box has no chance.
The FINA decision is a perfect example that timing is everything.
Katherine Deves was excoriated over her stand on transgenderism in sport. Now she is ahead of the curve.
Re the Gillette ads…
In the predecessor ad to this one, they had him replace the traditional chisel jaw model.
I wrote to Gillette asking why, as a 60 yo, I should take shaving advice from someone who looks like they have never shaved in their life?
Not just any box. A box that’s designed to be opened.
It’s just lying for effect. There’s a lot of it about.
But it’s still lying.
Spooner’s cartoon this morning is brilliant, if he had drawn Bowen as a turtle instead of a rabbit it would have been perfect.
Tom, the young fat bloke in the Gillette ad is Maori not Latino, that’s why he gets Pat Cummins to say “flixes” instead of “flexes”.
Oh and I’ll just remind readers that Katherine Deves, a founder of Save Women’s Sport Australasia, was recently picked to be the Liberal’s Warringah candidate. It was only weeks ago but the following has been more than likely memory holed, however I must remind people that Katherine was screamed at, she was shouted at, she was excoriated, she was crucified, she was smeared as a “bigot”, she was called a “transphobe”, there were calls for her to be disendorsed as the Warringah candidate…for her “bigotry”, and those calls for her to be disendorsed emanated not just from progressives, but also from so called Liberals. Why? For her views about transitioning minors and for her views about allowing biological men to compete against biological women, all of which have now been confirmed by FINA.
So I know wait for Matt Kean, Dave Sharma, Simon Birmingham, Zali Steggall, as well as the other scum in the MSM such as Samantha Maiden, to apologise to Katherine Deves. I’m very much looking forward to seeing them say…..”you were clearly right Katherine”.
Oh don’t worry, I won’t hold by breath.

They knew she was right. They were prepared to trample over a sensible, decent person who was swimming against the current zeitgeist. All for political purposes and nothing more. They wanted to silence her and pretend girls and women simply didn’t matter and the mentally ill cheats mattered more.

“I can’t comment, I assume these FINA members (heh) are all biologists?”
Some are ex-swimmers and ex-Olympians but they’re advised by a panel of biologists.
Anyway, as Bush wrote above, unlike scumbag Dr (laugh) Brendan Murphy who, when asked to define a woman, responded that it was “contested”, FINA knows what a woman is….an adult, human female.
As for Lie Thomas, HE will be very cross today. Good.
The IOC President Thomas Bach flew to Hungary to address the Congress but did not talk about the transgender issues and left before the vote was taken.
He won’t be bach. Our hero.
“They knew she was right. “
Correct, actually my real anger is directed at the various Liberal scum who sided with progressives and the transfreak militants against Deves, we know their names, Kean (he’ll be gonski next March…I can’t wait), Sharma (gonski), Bragg (sadly not gonski but sidelined by Dutton), Martin (gonski), Allen (gonski), Zimmerboy (gonski) and all the other so called Liberals who need to be cleansed from the Liberal Party once and for all.
One good thing though, this has made Deves stronger and tougher and as she has said, she ain’t going anywhere. You go girl.
“So I know wait”
I now wait.
Bown doesn’t have the reservations Spooner depicts, though.
He’s actually said he’s aiming for more than a 43% reduction by 2030.

““These are consistent references that have been made over a long period of time and recently,” the Treasurer said.
“We should have these debates and we should have them robustly but there is a line and I think hate speech and hurtful speech is inappropriate in our public discourse.
“I don’t think the way that individual carried out this debate was appropriate or helpful in the public discourse.””
Hmm, hey Matt Kean, I now await you using the above words to describe the FINA decision…you fucking verminous hypocrite.

In Closing
Such is the triple-barreled gun with which most African governments, intentionally or unintentionally, bombard African societies. It is unclear why African, not colonial, governments would deploy such a destructive economic gun against the very people they should serve and uplift. What is clear is that by maintaining an environment of high inflation, high debt, and high taxation, African governments ensure that African societies remain trapped in tyranny, dependency, and poverty.
Could well be describing Western governments.

As best I understand it, yes. Even yelling at the recruits on parade ground drill is intended to start them on the path to being able to carry out orders properly while flustered and under pressure – a skill which just possibly might come in useful at some point later in their military career.
It shouldn’t have taken the kid much basic research to discover that NCO’s give recruits a hard time.

How can they? Are they biologists?
One of the funnier aspects of these people who have flocked to a cause without bothering to understand it or even reflecting on its absurdities is to watch them try to trying to make morally authoritative pronouncements without really understanding the words – like giving someone a piece of paper with a transcription of something in Swahili and telling them to read it with feeling.
When these clowns say men can have babies what they are supposed to mean is that a biological woman who identifies as a man can have babies. But remember that XX chromosome bearing entity being questioned for a judicial appointment who was asked if she could define a woman? All she had to do was go to the identity politics answer that it is what a person identifies as. A feeble enough answer, and risky (“If it is not connected to biology then what is the idea of ‘woman’ that a male might say they are?”), but she stepped straight onto the ‘biology’ rake when biological female is well established and the fad about transgenders is precisely that their ‘gender’ is at odds with biology.
Silly trout forgot that the entire point of the cause is that a biologist cannot determine if a biological male is a ‘man’ or a ‘woman’.

Boys generally benefit from having a father around. Today it’s a radical notion.
Shouldn’t need saying, let alone be a subject of a study, but here it is.
There was a big explosion here in the Bay at around 8:30 last night. And by big, I mean my parents heard it a kilometre away. It shook the windows.
So far I have seen nothing in the news or the emergency services. Usually if the army is blowing up ordnance they do it in daytime. There is still a lot of stuff buried in the dunes on Stockton.
There have been some almighty seas in the last week or so. I wonder if they gouged out something nasty and it went pop?
This is the problem of trying to meet an error/ evil half way.
Also, FOB Anger is currently bouncing on its foundations. The Elder Amgers have had an outbreak of Disco Disease. Easily worse than the spontaneous outbreaks of revelry Europe suffered in the 1600s.
In the spirit of true Humanity (we don’t like sharing anything except misery and head colds), you all get to partake also.
It’s Raining Mong in this Boogie Wonderland.

In State of Denmark news:
Risk of graft increasing: Anti-corruption commissioner calls out pork barrelling
…and preferably before the Victorian November State Election.
Nothing to see here, says Jaclyn Symes on behalf of Maximum Leader.
Jaclyn Symes: a stellar legal career as industrial officer, ministerial advisor, and grace-and-favour politician.
On the plus side, she owns a dog.
And knowing the ironies of life, she later graduated as a Surface Warfare Officer and specialised in long-range gunnery and Naval Fire Support, right? 😉

I don’t often watch Russel Brand all the way through because his delivery is a annoying. On this occasion he has hit the nail on the head and exposed the Drug Industry’s corruption and links to the government quite starkly.
A must watch.
Sir, a neighbor has informed us you were listening to Tchaikovsky yesterday evening. Come with me.
Ralph Babet is Victoria’s newest senator.
Castaway was on the tv for the umpteenth time, so may have informed my thinking.
But it definitely wasn’t a coconut.
Yes; I didn’t want to be a killjoy earlier on by pointing it out.
It’s also my understanding that Katherine Deves does not object to this solution.
How can any prepubescent child know what it is to be a man or woman anyway.
All they know is “boy” or “girl”, and from my experience as a tomboy who loved stitching for Barbie as well as blowing up stuff on cracker night and billycarting – both roles are easily interchangeable.
So “transitioning” before any of the hormonal changes kick in is simply child abuse. The child can’t know, all they have is a preference. And that can change in an instant.
I read somewhere it was $250,000 to “sponsor” getting drug approved by TGA. Naturally there is no sponsor for ivermectin regarding Covid. Same in USA as need a sponsor. The Burnett Insititute was budgeted $6.8 billion Federal money over next 4 years for Covid related matters. Look at the Docherty Insititute web page and you will give up counting how many experts, from Unis and other organisations all over the country, are listed. What is their budget ? Then you have experts like Dr Paul Griffin who pushes Vax in literally hundreds, probably thousands, of interviews on TV and radio and in weekly Covid articles. He is lead investigator for the Nucleus Network that conducts trials for big pharma and work on the Novovax and UQ Vax trials.
We had never heard of them pre Covid but it seems apparent to me there is a financial benefit keeping the Covid scare going.
The problem is the countries media has clearly decided not to challenge any aspects of the Vax that might deter people from taking them :
No stories about how hard it is to get an exemption,
nothing about adverse effects or deaths from Vax,
no serious questioning of the fact the boosters predate Delta or that they so clearly wane,
the reference to total number of deaths without mentioning average age or comorbidities (whenever a newspaper opens up comments this point is raised by many but still they continue to not include the information).
the reliance on experts who only push the Vax narrative. You won’t see a Dr Robert Clancy, Thomas Borody or Phillip Altman in a MSM Oz news article (hats off to Quadrant). MSM Oz journalists would not even know who Dr ‘s Peter McCullough, Robert Malone or Tess Lawrie are.
No serious commentary about the facts tens of thousands have lost their jobs for not taking a Vax and the probable millions who took it just to remain employed. The only one I have heard having a good go on this subject was Ben Fordham on his show 3 weeks ago when he had multiple callers about the effect on their jobs.
Total failure of MSM to ask the obvious hard questions about deaths, waning, outdated Vax, changing narrative about what Vax do. Has any CHO been flat out asking if support people losing their jobs ? I know in NZ it turned out the Health side advised against work jab mandates for emergency workers as they would need them. It was the politicians who went against the advice.
Failure of press to highlight inconsistencies within state Govt Depts (Qld Transport suspended mandate) and from state to state in such organisations as Lifesaving, SES, Police etc.
Probably missed a few points but I think you get the idea.
I find it scary that the MSM has so easily gone along with the Governments Vax narrative. It will be easier for the Govts the next time. Just take away your freedom or jobs if don’t comply and the press will cheer them on without question.

Teen rescues New York woman who drove into Long Island bay (17 Jun)
Sounds like the USMC is getting a fine recruit.
Sydney Watson suggests that the transgender push is an effort to erase homosexuals from the [very] Far Left. And the more the movement and institutions progress and the activists froth and the information comes out, the more I am inclined to agree with her…

The Times of Israel reports that 7,313 Israelis have tested positive for SARS-CoV-2 by Friday according to a statement by the Health Ministry. With a reproduction number (R) of 1.31, this means COVID-19 is becoming more infectious in this heavily vaccinated state.

If I remember rightly Rex, she pulled the pin after being “counselled” and told she had to fire at the target.
That was 20 years ago though.
The MSM went along with it cause they were brought by not having to pay government communication fees. Money pure and simple.
This poor kid does now.
‘I literally lost organs:’ Why detransitioned teens regret changing genders (NY Post, 18 Jun)
Yep, it’s a religion which is destroying kids’ lives. Criticize any of it and you will be a heretic to be cancelled.
“It’s also my understanding that Katherine Deves does not object to this solution.”
Perhaps I’ve misunderstood you but I can assure you that Katherine Deves does object to minors being mutilated.
No doubt; what I meant was she doesn’t object to transgender “women” competing in dedicated or open competition.
Be that as it may, the devil is in the detail of FINA’s decision.
Yes, she was certainly failed by the ‘system’: and everyone who participated in this medical experiment should suffer all the consequences.
However, missing in this piece is how dreadfully badly she was failed by her parents. As her adults, they could have given her guidance and support; instead they gave her puberty blockers.

Ralph Babet is Victoria’s newest senator.
Good.
I’m far from a worshipper of the UAP, but no matter what happens from now the Photios Party must surely get the message that Textor was wrong and that conservative voters do matter.
I don’t know if this link will readily work, as I had repeated problems when I first tried it. It is a link, through the doctors4covidethics.org website to the most extensive and extraordinary report on the falsities and negligence involved in the production of the Covid vaccines. This is “The Covid Lies” compiled by retired Pfizer vice President and immunologist of over 30 years, Dr. Mike Yeadon. It is some 31 pages long and totally dissects, from a professional perspective, the terrible deception that has taken place.
I hope that this link will enable the document to be read:
https://doctors4covidethics.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/The-Covid-Lies-updated.pdf
Incidentally, I talked over the weekend to a retired immunologist who has taken an interest in the case of Brook Jackson, the employee of Ventavia (the company subcontracted by Pfizer to do the clinical trials for their vaccine) who was sacked when she reported breaches of safety procedures to the FDA. He is scandalised by the breaches of protocol (such as unblinding of the samples) that occurred.
ZK2A:
Yes it is.
The problem is evident with his mother. He was a Princess and she was the Queen.
A disaster waiting to happen and now she blames everyone else.
“No doubt; what I meant was she doesn’t object to transgender “women” competing in dedicated or open competition.
Be that as it may, the devil is in the detail of FINA’s decision.”
I don’t have a problem with an “open” or “dedicated” comp. The thing is though, almost all of them, including Lie Thomas, don’t want to compete against other trannies or in an open comp…..because they want to compete and win against biological women because this, in essence, encapsulates the whole sinister movement, which is to destroy/annihilate the female sex. It is the ultimate misogyny, being fanned by progressives and a disgraceful compliant MSM.

look up “Trusted News Iniative BBC”, even google will still give you the facts as the very first item. They’re proud of it. It explains everything you describe.
Cite you the young lady who joined the Army Reserve – she did not want to learn to use a rifle, she did not want to be an “infantry person”, she joined to learn to drive a truck…
The Left are hellbent on misrepresenting Katherine Deves’ ‘mutilation’ comments about transgender women in sport
SKY – May 12, 2022.
The activist-driven ‘law’ developed on these matters certainly does not help.
The railroading into chemical and surgical mutilation is all but totally legislated and enforced in most jurisdictions, and common law precendents favouring it now exist in most Anglophone legal systems.
The ultimate act of social rebellion now, it seems, is to let kids be kids.
Ironically, the ones you want to know their Infantry Minor skills the very best*- 20+ years of combat experience (plus current documented data from a place I won’t name, so as not to upset the Vatniks) shows that most OPFORs much prefer to shoot at the ‘softer’ logistical units than the Combat Corps who might be escorting them…
* Particulalry if they are in the supporting echelons of a unit expected to spend a lot of time forward of the line of battle. Recce units need to resupply, too.
Perhaps being young and naïve here, but I suspect Lia Thomas’ ultimate motivation is more about making a shitload of money and less about destroying the female sex.
Athlete Ally, on the other hand.
Get ready for gender-affirming lawfare…
Probably a win for all parties- She did not morally compromise herself, and the Navy did not suffer a personnel management problem that could have blown up at the worst possible time…

Jab jab booster……………One reason why I’m not vaxxed.
The article, which has been uploaded to the preprint server ResearchGate, relied on data from over 18,500 respondents across 175 countries. Analysis revealed that individuals unvaccinated against COVID-19 reported fewer instances of hospitalization in comparison to their vaccinated counterparts.

Destroy the female sex?
You might as well tell the sun to stop shining.
Mind you, feminists have done their best to emasculate males for decades.
I confess to listening to Rimsky-Korsakov last night – Scheherazade to be precise.
Where should I board the bus to be taken to the ed-education camp?
“re-education”!
Wagner (the composer) is essentially banned in Israel. If the Ukies want to ban Tchaikovsky that’s their loss. Most Ukrainians are probably more into Sepulchura than him though. I can’t think of a Ukrainian composer but if there is one he’s probably persona non grata in Russia by now. It’s the vibe.
I’m pretty sure it’s bullshit, but you can’t tell anymore.

Congresswoman Elect, Mayra Flores Discusses Main Issues Impacting South Texas Latino Voters That Led to Victory for Her Republican Seat
June 19, 2022 | Sundance
Congresswoman-elect Mayra Flores, R-Texas, appeared on ‘Sunday Morning Futures’ with Maria Bartiromo to discuss how she was able to flip a 100-year democrat seat to her republican side due to Biden’s economic policy in combination with the cultural craziness that has infected the democrat party.
They were literally paid to do it weren’t they?
Biden’s govt paid over a billion to the MSM in the US to promote the jabs, demonise any alternative treatments and vilify any person who criticised the jabs or the companies that sold them.
The entire US media took the money – including Fox and OAN.
All Australian media took the money too – including Sky.
Oops spelling: Sepultura. They and other metal guys do concerts in Ukraine from time to time.
An interesting development to say the least.
Starting a new group…

Should be able to get a Govmint grant and buy that luxury house I have my eye on.
They don’t.
The ban applies to music and some literature composed or authored by post-1991 Russian citizens.
If they oppose the Russian military action they can apply for an exemption.
Mother Lode:
There were lots of people here calling for this to happen, but when it did, there was weeping, wailing, and gnashing of dentures.
It had to happen – Labor has been pulling this stunt for decades and I’m *sorta* glad these chooks have finally come home to roost.
Where the Bumblebee flies too, and the Sabers Dance… 🙂
Also, wot Roger said at 12.22PM.

NSW Premier Dominic Perrottet says he will review the $25 million quote to add the Aboriginal flag to the Sydney Harbour Bridge, after he joked over the weekend that he didn’t know why it would cost so much.
Mr Perrottet, who said he’d go to Bunnings and do it himself if he could, told 2GB on Monday that the process had been “complex”, “incredibly frustrating” and that it seems to be “a pretty ridiculous and outrageous cost.”
While he noted that there were heritage concerns and that “it’s not a simple construction,” he admitted that the cost “doesn’t seem to pass the pub test.”
Reconfirming that he was also surprised by the cost, the Premier said he’d “be sitting down and going through line by line to make sure that taxpayers in New South Wales get value for money.”
“This is an important project,” he said.

St Jacinda gave nz tv broadcasters NZD$50m at the start of the nightmare. Granted it’s only kiwibucks, but it was a rotten bit of propaganda pump priming for a population which were getting locked in their homes indefinitely.
Interesting given the fight against Pushkin.
The Russian parliament has for weeks been discussing whether to revoke Lithuania’s independence, granted in 1991. The rationale being they [the Russians] are the successors to the Soviet Union and the granting of independence was not done in accordance with the Soviet constitution(!). Lithuania is simply complying with EU sanctions, but one can imagine they didn’t need much persuausion given the Russian provocation.
How about asking them how much they’re prepared to pay to put the flag up?
It’s advertising, they should pay into the state budget for it.
I’d be happy for indigenous peoples to start a GoFundMe to cover the cost.
Virtue signalling opportunities don’t grow on trees, after all.
