And, of course, it’s government rules and regulations which create the problem in the first place.

Government and regulation is a problem on the supply side of the housing market. Homelessness is more a function that a reasonable proportion of people are too chaotic to function in any form of orderly fashion in regular society. Increasingly the homeless are people just down on their luck. You could give everybody a house and by the end of the week a proportion of them would be homeless.

Congolese Migrant Arrested for Serial R@pes of Hospitalized Pensioners and Schoolgirl

The attack on July 27 saw two pensioners, aged 68 and 77, r@ped just 30 minutes apart as they sat hospitalized in the Max-Fourestier hospital in Nanterre, Hauts-de-Seine. Both patients are understood to have been suffering from Alzheimer’s disease and were unable to put up significant resistance.

The suspect had been filmed on CCTV shortly before and after the attacks, and hospital staff confirmed he was neither an employee nor a patient at the hospital at the time.

A DNA sample taken by the accused upon his arrest has also linked him to the later r@pe of a schoolgirl.

Normally I would agree, but this time it is different. One of the ladies I work with (teacher, permanent, 100k pa, “normal”, ie no tattoos, piercings or outrageous haircuts or colours) has been evicted from where she had lived for 10 years as the owner has sold (gave her a glowing reference) and the new owner wanted to move in. In the last 3 months she has been knocked back at least 100 times. She is currently living in holiday accommodation.

Lifted from CL’s blog.

Mehreen Faruqi is an adherent of a religion that started as a minor group in the Arabian Peninsula.

Since then, its imperial/colonial obsession has seen it conquer countries and tribes west to the Atlantic, north into France (via the Iberian Peninsula) and to Vienna, south beyond Equatorial Africa, and east as far as Indonesia and the Philippines. This march of conquest started around 900 years before the British started their colonial expansion and continues to this day.

There has never been a peaceful Islamic withdrawal from any of the places it has colonised. Deaths caused buy Islamic conquest in the Indian sub-continent alone are believed to have been in the tens of millions.

On top of all that, Islam was early into the slave trade, and continues that trade today. The British (and their American offspring) fought wars to end that foul trade, and are currently still criticised for their part in it, but no such criticism is directed at Islamic nations that still trade in slaves.

Perhaps Faruqi should read, learn, reflect, and then consider whether it might have been better to keep her mouth voluntarily shut, rather than draw attention to the forest (not just a beam) in the eyes of her co-religionists, not the mote in the eyes of westerners?

Tom, I’m principally referring to employed people in QLD being unable to access housing.

The unemployable, for whatever reason that may be (not always profligacy), have been let down by a Labor government that has sold off public housing stock to balance their budget, only to later be rescued by unforeseen record commodities prices.

The upshot is that governments, at all levels, need to relax their regulatory grip on the land and housing markets.

When oxygen sat. is low I would imagine doctors may call for an oxygen mask or even ventilation.

There are people in ICU who are placed on vents even today, so what is the issue?

The issue as I remember was intubation not ventilation.
Some medical staff questioned using the method as the sedatives needed to intubate a patient suppresses breathing that was already compromised.
Ventilation with extra oxygen isn’t the same thing.

Patterns can also have numerical values attached.

It’s evening, Driller (like this evening being a good example) begins extreme trolling either by being an oppositional fuckwit, or initiates heavy duty blowharding. We’re seeing the former this evening so far.

Structural failure of the housing market is certainly driving people into homelessness who have never been at risk previously. The fact that a person’s primary residence is now effectively the only tax effective, inflation resistant store of wealth doesn’t help and only encourages the bidding up of house prices.

Where do you get this crap that leftists celebrate no-hopers? The Labor govt hasn’t softened the dole requirements, in fact it has supported the increased demands. The housing crisis has nothing to do with victimisation. You are either so politically driven in your thinking or ignorant about human behavior because no-one enjoys being homeless.

The raw hard data is there. The accommodation shortage is very real. But I get it, you’d rather turn everything into a political issue rather than for a fucking change try looking at some evidence.

The amount of infrastructure required to release land today doesn’t help. It took 24 months of solid work to prepare approximately 2ha of unused land opposite my place for sale.

The mid-terms are gone. Tucker lists the number of times demorats have questioned and attacked election results, often overthrowing GOP wins such as with Kennedy and Tricky Dicky. When Trump won in 2016 EVERY demorat leader called him illegitimate, including the sexual corpse biden, many threatened violence or encouraged it, and the rest spent the next 4 years impeaching him on the basis of the clinton dossier and other fraudulent information.

Now, after overwhelming concrete evidence of electoral fraud and media manipulation, anyone who questions the 2020 result are being arrested or harassed by the fbi/doj.

Dickless attempts an equivalence between Christianity and islam. This is the last refuge of the left and dickless cankers. Islam is the most disgusting ideology invented by humans, rivalled only by communism. Islam is eschatological, suppressive and destructive of everything good in human nature and invocative of everything which is bad. Before he succumbed to TDS Sam Harris wrote one of the best expositions of the dungheap which is islam called The End of Faith. For Harris islam is irredeemable and implacably hostile to everything worthwhile in humanity.

But really you only need turn to that great and brave lady Ayaan Hirsi Ali and her writings. Unlike Christianity which underwent a reformation islam today is as it was 14 centuries ago: a primitive, violent warring cult. Ali, as many women are in islam, was subject to vile GM. I guess that is what attracts dickless to it.

Amusing as it is to see the “renewables” spivs getting their snouts dragged partly out of the trough, as a general principle the imposition of price caps like this on an established enterprise is what used to be called “sovereign risk”. When people commit to an investment in a jurisdiction with a supposedly open market they trade off the prospects of downside risk versus prospects of upside reward.

Two points:

1) It’s political risk, not sovereign risk;

2) The EU electricity market is very far from ‘open’, stable and unregulated. It is awash with subsidies, rules, risk management strategies, and contingency powers granted to an alphabet of regulators and system managers – all of which change constantly. Ask investors in coal fired generation about market risk.

The marginal political risk of stripping the ability of rentiers to earn windfall returns of the current stupid levels – in an obviously failed regulated market – is dwarfed by the risk to the European social economy of laying back.

Almost 24 hrs since the procession from Buckingham Palace to Westminster Hall, carrying the mortal remains of the former Queen for the lying in state.

Quite a pageant to watch. Slow marched the whole way.
Lifeguards (afoot) in front, then the Royal Horse Artillery pulling the gun carriage (commanded by a female officer) flanked by Grenadier Guards.
Marching behind the gun carriage were here four children (Chilla Rex, Anne, Randy Andy & Eddie), abreast in order of birth. Behind them Prince Bill, the Ginger Californian, Mr. Peter Phillips (Anne’s oldest boy) & some other rooster I didn’t recognise.

ABCTV experts informed us viewers that King Chilla was dressed “as a Field Marshall” & carrying a Field Marshall’s baton.
Just as well the ABCTV were there to tell us that, otherwise we’d have thought the blue/grey uniform was that of the R.A.F. & the rank insignia on his sleeve was that of Marshall of the R.A.F.

In Tonga, the official mourning lasts for a year; the heir is crowned after this period has passed.

The first few minutes were interesting, when SkyTVUK spoke to a few queued up mourners, old blokes in Royal Marines beret, old dears who looked like they should be at afternoon tea, that sort of thing.

There are five grades of mourning obligations in the Confucian Code. A person is expected to honor most of those descended from their great-great-grandfather, and most of their wives.

The death of a person’s father and mother would merit 27 months of mourning; the death of a person’s grandfather on the male side, as well as their grandfather’s wife, would be grade two, or necessitate 12 months of mourning.

Greyhounds are good dogs. Smoochy, don’t need as much exercize as you’d reckon. 4 foot fences are fine, bcos of their long flexy backs.
To be mercenary, check their teeth and lumbar spine, or you’re in for a decade of visits to the vets.

Had a greyhound-borzoi cross for a week- he was a magnificent dog. But uncontrollable around sheep, no blood lust but run around them at, no kidding, i reckon 80km/h. The whippet-kelpie in my avatar could hold 50, 60 for a burst, current whippet-koolie gets up to 50 but very hard to excite him enough. He does run down foxes in the bush tho, so it’s not like i’m dissappointed.
A sight hound cross with a working dog is called a lurcher- join the club, they are tops for the fam on the land. All the brains of a shepherd, but with added speed and a more easygoing work ethic.
I reckon a greyhound with good choppers and a calm disposition ( try lobbing a saucepan lid on the floor when they’re not concentrating) would be a perfect pet too.

…and whatever you do, don’t let a Greyhound Rescue group get your details. I love animals and respect charity, but the sanctimoniousness of the crowd that says “i care most deeply about these benighted beasts, therefore i will be the arbiter of an entire species… and lord it over you lesser, less empathetic humans while i’m at it too” is a bit much.

Thanks Wally.

Finally got onto an old mate who has had a greyhound pet for a few years – mentioned about teeth/vet bills. Wonder if that’s a diet thing?

Reckons they’re the most placid and loyal pets. Walks his twice a day for about 20 minutes. Then it sleeps for about 18 hours a day.

Every now and then it goes zoom and gallops flat out around the back yard for 10-20 seconds. Had a labrador that used to go loony like that now and then.

There’s a few organisations that place greyhounds as pets where you can adopt one for a while until it’s placed. Might try that to see if I can overcome domestic opposition based on myths about size/vicious/muzzles/exercise etc. Only trouble with that is I wouldn’t want to give it back.

We’ll see. Thanks for your input.

My Darwin Special has a fair bit of greyhound in it. They are happy to get as much or as little exercise as the owner, and dependent on the day as well.

The world’s greatest bloke, and a loving father (the Hun):

A Shepparton dad has been committed to stand trial in the state’s highest court, accused of drunkenly throwing a sports drink at an elderly man’s head – ultimately leading to his death.

A committal hosted for Troy Maskell, 43, in the Shepparton Magistrates’ Court on Thursday heard evidence from seven different people, including a witness, doctors and friend of the accused.

He’d just been to a mate’s place where he worked his way through a carton of stubbies, shots of JD and several cones when he rocked up to a servo with his missus and daughter. In the servo was a 73 year old bloke, a regular there and well known in the town as its postmaster.

Mr North [the servo bloke] gave evidence that the woman “aggressively” said something to Mr Burke while she was at the counter paying for items, including a bottle of a red Maximus drink.

The court heard Mr Burke replied with “excuse me” or “pardon” before she allegedly continued her tirade of accusations. He said a man, since identified to be Maskell, then entered the store and she relayed her accusation that he had looked at the girl “inappropriately”.

The inevitable happens, given that this bloke’s a shitbag of the first order:

The court heard Maskell then walked past the counter, grabbed the one litre sports drink his partner had purchased and approached Mr Burke as he backed into the trucker’s lounge.

Court documents reveal Maskell then allegedly “aggressively approached” Mr Burke as he was hunched over and kicked him in his right hip. He then allegedly stomped on his spectacles and kicked the bottle towards Mr Burke as he lay on the ground.

Mr North said the woman then asked him something along the lines of, “am I in on this?” before he heard a thunk. He said another male then appeared and he was asked about the store’s security cameras.

“They said delete the footage or I’ll come back,” he [North] recalled.

The effects of the ‘thunk’:

Paramedic Alexander Nicholson gave evidence that he received a Code 2 dispatch call at 2am while he was in Shepparton, and he arrived at the service station at 2.45am. He said Mr Burke was conscious and speaking to a police officer upon his arrival but was bleeding from a laceration near his left ear.

But once in the ambulance he developed difficulties speaking — he confidently responded to questions with jumbled vocabulary that was “completely out of context” for about 15 minutes before his conversation returned to normal.

Mr Burke died in a Melbourne hospital on October 28, 2021.

And:

Mr Burke, who grew up in the Strathmerton area and provided a life of service, was known in the town as the “local historian” and was also the town’s Justice of the Peace for more than 30 years.

Waiting now for the ‘but addict’ and ‘mental health’ defences. This sort of thing is how lynch mobs get started.

King Charles’ alleged Australian love child drops DNA bombshell

Buckingham Palace has seen its fair share of scandals over the years, but in the wake of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II’s death, a potential hidden love child in the family could be the biggest yet.

Simon Charles Dorante-Day, 56, claims he was conceived in 1965 by a 17-year-old Charles and 18-year-old Camilla, long before they began their affair.

His unlikely claim has never been confirmed, but he’s determined to settle the matter once and for all.

Mr Dorante-Day told 7 News he planned to take fresh legal action to force the new King to undergo DNA testing.

Sharing his interview on Facebook, the Queensland man wrote: “Charles got what he wanted: he got the throne, he got his wife, he got it all. Now it’s time for me to get my happy ending.

“I had hoped something would happen, and I’m very disappointed that nothing did. Particularly given the effort and level I’ve gone to.”

Mr Dorante-Day believes that the DNA test will prove he is the rightful heir to the throne, as he was born before Prince William.

He said it was a “kick in the face” that William had been named the new Prince of Wales, a title given to male heirs to the throne.

Simon Charles Dorante-Day would do well to remember the traditional fate of pretenders to the Throne – they wake up one morning on Tower Hill, with their head singing “I Aint Got No Body..”

Sounds more closely related to AnAl.

Last night lots of critical comments on TEALS.

Not many critical comments on the voters…”

Lard arse the Fraud aka the member for Kooyong has been well and truly exposed for the hypocrite she is however the MSM, particularly their ABC, will deliberately run quiet on it because it doesn’t fit their narrative.

But you’re right, the real problem when discussing the Teals and the Greens isn’t them per se, it’s the well heeled scum of this country’s more salubrious suburbs who vote for them and the blame lies squarely with the scum of Kooyong, Goldstein, Wentworth, Warringah, Mackellar, Curtin and North Sydney. They are the ones who have vomited up this garbage and therefore gifted us Lard Arse, Zoo Daniel, Lidia Thorpe, Mehreen Faruqi, and creepy little fascist Adam Bandt.

Top 10 E bike explosions and fires. An appetiser of Elbows electric future:

Yep, lithium battery fires are closer to blow torches than slow smoke and flames. They will be banned from buildings (and lifts!) and carparks before long and should be – once the battery is damaged or develops a fault, it short circuits and burns – putting it out is useless as the damaged battery just heats up again and away we go. As the clip showed, CO2 and powder are particularly useless as they don’t reduce the heat.

In my days as a volunteer fireman, our SOP for Tesla fires was to order 10 tons of water and quarantine for 3 days! (no – never went to one).
