The Queen’s funeral is driving the Australian republicans insane.
In spite of the incessant republican propaganda directed at them by the news media — which is actually a radical political party campaigning for radical political change that has no interest in informing the public about anything — 90% of the Australian public love the British monarchy ruling over them precisely because the royal family aren’t radical political lunatics trying to tear down our civilisation.

It’s how long IR’s stay elevated that matters most. If Govt’s continue to hold on to restrictive green idiocy supply policies while the general loathing towards China/Russia continues, inflationary conditions will persist and likely grow.

I think you can divide people into three broad groups.
.1 Those who ‘want’ a republic but, for most of them, it is simply ditching the Monarchy with no real idea of what the replacement structure might look like;
.2 Rusted on Monarchists.
.3 Those who wouldn’t vote for a Monarchy if we were starting with a clean sheet, but will stick with it because it is considerably better than what might follow.

OK, but we’re really now debating how long is appropriate to establish a trend. Too short and it’s statistically unreliable. Too long and the trend could be missed in the ups and downs of differing trends succeeding one another.
That is, the danger of using too long a period is that it might mask, rather than reveal, what trend is currently operating. It’s just as unscientific to insist on too long a period as to use too short a period – otherwise we would trace back to the Holocene climate optimum and conclude that we’re in a cooling trend. And as you noted that would be silly.
As I said, revisionist history among alarmists resulted in suggestions that 30 years was appropriate (see link below to the IPCC’s assertion – searching “hiatus” leads to the right place), and no-one has ever (as best as I can tell) suggested anything longer, and before “the pause” reached 15 years periods shorter than 30 years were routinely suggested.
Thus, even if 30 years isn’t being unscientifically promoted in preference to a genuine shorter proper period, BoN’s 25 years is closer to the mark than 50 years would be.

Yes Tom, I note that one cane toad, aka the same cane toad who prejudices rape trials, a cane toad who’s married to another cane toad who happens to be the head of the Australian Republican Movement, has jetted off to London to cover the funeral for that joke of a television broadcaster, Channel Ten.
Oh and I’m still waiting for charges to be laid against her for her remarks two months ago when she willfully prejudiced a trial. Perhaps the police could charge her on her return?

While passenger car manufacturers are rapidly moving to electric power to meet emissions regulations and market demand* for cleaner urban transport, machinery dealers in Western Australia are raising concerns that similar pressure to switch their equipment to electric will prove unworkable in remote and regional areas.

Nuts. I caught a glimpse of The Project. They sent Lisa Wilkinson to cover the funeral. Her bat brained husband is a leading promoter of the Republic movement. I wonder how many Aussies picked up on that ridiculous contradiction.

What period represents climate significance as opposed to shorter weather periods does vary a bit. Santer wrote a paper saying 17 years. NOAA says 15 years. Hans von Storch 20 years. IPCC 30 years. The British Climate Committee 50 years. Like every other aspect of alarmism the period of climate significance is bullshit.

Stevie Wonder and Tiger Woods are in a bar.
Woods turns to Wonder and says “How’s the singing career going?” Stevie Wonder says “Not too bad, although I don’t perform as much anymore, but, all in all I think it’s pretty good still”.
“By the way, how’s the golf?” Woods replies “Not too bad. I’m not winning as much as I used to but I’m still making a bit of money. I had some problems with my swing, but I think I’ve got that worked out now”. “I always find that when my swing goes wrong, I need to stop playing for a while and think about it, then the next time I play it seems to be all right” says Stevie.
“You play golf!?” asks Tiger. Stevie says “Yes, I’ve been playing for years”.
“But I thought you’re blind! How can you play golf if you are blind?” Tiger asks. “I get my caddie to stand in the middle of the fairway and call to me. I listen for the sound of his voice and play the ball towards him, then when I get to where the ball lands the caddie moves to the green or further down the fairway and again, I play the ball towards his voice” explains Stevie.
“But how do you putt?” Tiger wondered. “Well” says Stevie “I get my caddie to lean down in front of the hole and call to me with his head on the ground and I just play the ball to the sound of his voice”.
Tiger says “What is your handicap?” “I play off scratch” Stevie assures Tiger.
Tiger is incredulous and says to Stevie “We must play a game sometime”. Wonder replies “Well, people don’t take me seriously, so I only play for money, and I never play for less than $100,000 a hole”.
Tiger thinks it over and says “Okay, I’m up for that. When would you like to play?” “I don’t care. Any night next week is fine with me”.
I had one foray into it this morning after there was an offline discussion last night about the four possible ways of doing it.
Posted a banal “Woof!” comment at 11:09 and upticked it 15 times using various methods.
Obviously Dover changed the settings about that time because none of the methods worked after that.
Are you suggesting I had been doing it prior?
If so, you need to get your story straight, champ.
Am I the dastardly secret upticker, giving big ticks to St Ruth, CMD Lurker and others who bag me on a daily basis?
Or am I the one trying to shut down the upticks?
Or just someone hanging out someone else’s dirty laundry?
As for who was abusing upticks prior to today, who knows?
However, it would be reasonable to draw a list of suspects from those who screamed the loudest about it over the last day or so.
For obvious reasons.
But not just the obvious.
He’s a traditionalist by both upbringing and conviction.
When in America he won’t attend an Episcopal church, for example. While they’re part of the Anglican communion, they’re the most radical and anti-traditional national church in the communion. So he finds an acceptable, more conservative alternative.
sounds like you reckon that the only way you could be THAT unpopular could be manipulative and weaponised up-ticking?
we know rosie feels the same, she said so the other day
and Lizzie can’t comprehend why it is that she isn’t wildy celebrated every time she appears
has it occurred to you that despite your never ending steam of sorry bon mots and other churlish idiocy that actually you’re not very well liked ?
I’m putting to you right now that all the negs you get are organic.
and it is because your presence has become toxic
and up-ticks are a way of putting that all on display.
can’t have anybody seeing behind your mask eh?
normally I’d just short-hand with a click and spare you the disgrace, but since I cannot do that, I thought it’d best to say it to your lying face.
don’t piss on the carpet you mong
That’s good to hear Roger. I am now more optimistic about the reign of King Charles III.
We have the benefit of hindsight.
1. Griffith, Deakin etc put too much faith in Parliament to protect rights in Dicey’s framework. It makes sense, but it is fragile.
2. I strongly believe we should have confederated and not federated. Like in the US, the Federal government has morphed into a national government.
3. I also strongly believe a nationalist, isolationist republic at the outset would have protected us from most of the horrors of the world wars and prevented the living dead that is large swathes of rural Australia. We would have been many times wealthier too.
no, that isn’t going to work.
we aren’t all as stupid as you are
“Because there are guns within the Yuendumu community. I know community members (who) lawfully own guns,” he said.
“So if a community member has a gun, we need to have guns as well.”
For the longest time in Britain the people had guns, and the police didn’t.
Real policing by consent when you need to borrow the communities guns to deal with the heavy stuff.
Do the right thing. It will gratify some people and astonish the rest.

You seem upset Matrix.
Anything we can help with?
I said what?
I don’t give a fig for upticks, never have.
You sound exactly like the #istandwithdan morons on twitter constantly berating Rachel Baxendale and Sophie Elsworth with their ‘read the room’ nonsense.
Twitter is not ‘the room’ of public opinion and neither is Catallaxy.
Plus I suspect there is an ongoing mismatch between ‘up votes’ and numbers of people with commenting privileges on line. There is no way there were 50 people with commenting privileges online between 4 and 6 am when CMD trashed JC and got 50 up votes.
BoN said months ago he knew how to do it but quite rightly refused to publicise.
I said to Lizzie it was someone who had a personal animosity towards her playing games, most likely someone who was a self proclaimed ‘computer natural’ (or words to that effect).
That presupposes the world wars would still have been won without Australian men, battlefield leadership, and resources.
Debatable.
Boris can’t even comb his hair for a funeral.
The Queen’s funeral no less.

LOl , I recall that, and I suspect it was done by two friends of mine. I have a feeling it was Turtlehead and another individual. They’re both sneaky and untrustworthy. Also, they’re very stupid because 50 ticks at 4 am is a dead giveaway it was a very low IQ hitjob. Seriously, how freaking dumb do you have to be to post 50 ticks at 4 am?

King Charles seems to behaving very rationally, wants to only have working royals as ‘counsellors’.
With the ascension of King Charles III, Princess Beatrice has automatically taken on this key role, meaning three of the five current counsellors – Beatrice, Harry and Andrew – are non-working royals.
Yes.
I think there were at least two distinct “dickless uptick” factions (for the want of a better word).
I think the Lizzie one was an individual just making mischief and egged on by her obvious angst about it. No doubt she now knows that it was all bullshit.
The other “white knights for the cause” were simply trying to gaslight a few people off here to create a safe space for Truthers and Preppers.
Using the same modus operandi as Sleeping Giants on Twitter.
Coz 50 ticks against Head Prefect is just plain unthinkable. 🙂
On climate change he’s wrong.
On other matters he’s instincts are sound.
And he may be inclined to be more politically assertive than Elizabeth in private, as his letters to Blair attest.
For now, I’m modestly optimistic.
In any case, better Charles than FitzSimons and his ilk grasping control of the bully pulpit of a republican presidency in our face day after day.

the up-ticks are organic you simpletons.
truth is that many people think your horrible personalities are fair game
and they’re sick of listening to your gibber
Not a single coloured carrying the coffin? OMG
Charles seems to take advice better than Andrew. He has still made a few slip-ups along the way. Early days yet but so far so good it would seem. Booting non working Royals would seem to be a no brainer.
so sancho … give yourself an up-tick
Riiight.
So how did my “Woof!” comment draw 15 ticks?
Assuming the system is as inviolable as you say?
Quoting yourself now MT?
Argument by assertion.
And after all this time, it should be obvious that I don’t care what you think, or what the daily jeremiader thinks, or what any of the other bully boys think or about your inorganic up tickers, or I’d have left, long ago.
You’re just another one who wants to bully people you don’t like into shutting up.
Gentle mocking on the other hand, how horrid.

rosie: The big uptick for trashing JC this morning between 4 & 6. Do you mean Struth’s post?
He got 25 or so ticks, for a post that included a less-than-complimentary reference to JC.

WEF Encourages Eating Expired Food
From Martin Armstrong –
“Schwab is a rotten man. The World Economic Forum has convinced the UK to remove “best before” dates from food products in an effort to “conserve food waste.” In reality, these sick individuals do not care about human health and need a way to avert attention away from the coming food shortages brought on by their zero-emissions pipe dream.
The UK is set to remove “best before” and labels from around 500 products. When was the food shipped or packaged? It will be up to the consumer to use their best judgment. There are also plans to remove hundreds of “use by” dates on products. “Best buy” indicates the quality of the food, while “use by” indicates whether it is safe for consumption. The WEF insists that these dates are meaningless as it still may be safe to eat expired food. They even claim milk is the third most-wasted product in the UK, which is extremely dangerous to drink if expired.
Expiration dates first appeared in stores post-World War II as large consumer chain markets rose in popularity. Before then, you could talk to the sellers at mom-and-pop shops, and they tended to their products and clients. Perhaps you’d buy directly from the grower, depending on where you lived. You cannot ask an associate at Publix where, say, an apple came from and expect an accurate answer. Food arrives by truckloads now and often is imported from overseas.
So, the WEF would like us to eat bugs and expired foods. Rest assured that the elite will be eating the best, riding in their fossil-fueled powered and heated jets and yachts, and laughing as the rest of us suffer. Governments seem to be on board as they also do not want to admit failure via food shortages.”

Lucky there’s nothing on TV.
That’s the sound of you diving for cover.
Confirmed: You’re comfortable with vile abuse – unless it is coming from Struth.
We’ve all got the message now.
Drinking milk past the date won’t hurt you, simple stuff, does it smell?
As for fruit, if it’s sweet, it’s good to eat. If it’s a sour apple, throw it in the cider barrel.
Quite frankly cherries are best when slightly over ripe.
I knew this as a bona fide roadside cherry selling redneck.
Don’t eat off meat. Don’t eat raw pork or chook. Don’t be stupid.

You owe St Ruth a boat.
It’s all your fault.
But seriously, the only people who matter in your decision are you, your family, your friends … that’s it.

Or perhaps whiniest Karen.
I’m not sure, because we order from the drinks menu and I really have no idea. Because , we order by the class, we order at the top of the price range, but it’s not a huge amount of drinking. We both drink to accompany the meal and not for anything else. I don’t think we’ve ever purchased a single bottle of wine. I actually don’t like drinking much.

Back in those days though, we all stood at all theatres as God Save the Queen was played. I can never remember anyone not standing in any theatre or picture theatre when God Save the Queen was played.
JC you let the Rooster of the leish so to speak but remember Rooster is a name and deserves a capital R. None of this rooster shit, it lacks gravitas. I don’t expect to have the conversation again. We have standards.
No one does ceremony like the British. The art of it is exemplary. As is the history.
JR
In Ten years you’ve always opted for the opposite.
What am I “going through” ?
I work with dozens of hot girls – WTF makes you think I’d ever be short of a welcoming shoulder? Or that a dingo like you would be even in the selection paddock?
Yet another sign something is NQR with you.
Stick to whingeing that someone upticked against you, you supreme Karen.
So sad to see the world’s granny go.
Indeed.
Walking behind the horses has it’s hazards I see.
In the early 1970’s – anyone not standing for “God Save the Queen” was thrown out, and there was one monumental punch up between a group of soldiers on leave, and a group of long-haired “protestors” who had refused to stand…
If anyone states that I have abused a particular person, before posting that they should read what I posted.
JC,
You have only been posting since just after 7am.
Sancho your loyal sidekick has been by your side backing you up like the faithful lap dog he is.
I think this blog is just about done as it has become the JC and Sancho show.
JC, You have done a fine job sucking the fun out of the blog. It is now just one long bitchfrst with you having a go at Sal non stop. Has been going on for years but hey I guess you need a hobby.
Lots of other blogs to frequent but I congratulate you on making this one less attractive to visit.
Yes, you’re very difficult to get along with.
I dunno, which is why I asked.
Drills, get back to earth. You don’t work with dozens of hot gals as you’re not eggasctly running a Hollywood talent agency in the jungle. As for helping you out, I said wasn’t there for you.
Just be nice at least until Friday. It shouldn’t be hard.
Yep, no one does tradition better than the Brits. And to think that there are those who think it’s possible to do away with the monarchy- in yer dreams.
This is a magnificent spectacle. Charles will take note, if he wishes to be so loved.
Bourne.
You’ve had more sad farewells here today than Nellie Melba and John Farnham combined.
You are free to go.
Don’t let the door … etcetera … etcetera.
Our national psyche has never been capable of forging an independent path. We’ve always needed big brother. I don’t see this changing any time soon – certainly, no one is making the case for charting an independent course and getting any popular traction. Even if there was such a person, the CIA would probably discredit them or take them out if necessary.
It’s a good thing we so want to be in the club, as it allows us to believe membership is voluntary.
A man advertises for help wanted.
‘Need Someone With A Keen Eye For Detail For Touch Up Of Property’
The next day, he gets a call from a lady enquiring about the position. She arrives later that day and he’s floored by her beauty: blonde, leggy, bodacious.
She asks him “What’s needing done, sugar?” He replies “My porch is requiring a new paint job. Are you sure you’re up for it? It is rather demanding work”. She responds “Oh no worries, sugar. I saw it on my way in and I think I can get it done in a day”.
Impressed with her gumption, he hires her and tells her “You’ll find the white paint by the door. If you need any help or anything, just call”.
And off he goes, leaving her to get to work.
Not two hours later, there’s a knock on the door. The maid lets the bodacious blonde in and she tells him she’s done. He can’t believe how fast she’s worked so pays a bonus.
As she’s walking out the door, she turns, looks at him and wonders if she should embarrass him or not. Deciding it’s for the best, she says “Oh, and sugar, it’s not pronounced ‘porch,’ the car’s name is pronounced ‘por-sha!’”
Translation: You’ve hit someone who cares not a whit for your “Don’t you know who I am?” bluster.
Something you’ll just have to get used to.
Explain, using as many words as you need to, why you know this to be not true…………GO!
Nobody will believe this unless you;
1/. Address me by my name.
2/. Cease snide remarks at me.
It’s up to you to demonstrate good faith – as you are the party who has behaved abominably.
You’ll also be required to walk back your claims upthread that I posted a lie about you & that I have withdrawn lies within fifteen minutes of posting them.
If you don’t, we know you’re the same asshole you’ve always been.
Rooster
Cut it out. I’ve been intense on the blog since last week because I had surgery and I’m not hugely mobile. Like before, I won’t be here as long.
You’re just drama queening as usual and frankly posters here aren’t your fucking entertainment directors, you nincompoop. There’s not a huge amount of new news going on at the moment. How about you introduce topics of interest you boring prick. Don’t expect others to entertain you.
Oh, my wordy lordy goodness gracious me, cheese and biscuits.
Whatever is going on?
You turn your back for 14 hours and the joint’s turned to shit. However, the day was entirely saved by one word – and that word is:
Haha.
This “be nice for a week” is off to a challenging start.
I can’t do 1/. That’s non-neg. We can work on 2/.
That’s meeting halfway.
Six months ago I stated Catallaxy would turn upon itself & die – unless JC was banned, and also a stop was put to childish sneering.
There is no pleasure in events proving me right.
The horses seem troubled. Queen funeral.
Every Monday at primary school has to sing the anthem, god save the queen and pledge allegiance to the flag. Ahh the good old days.
I didn’t stand for God save the Queen once I turned 13. I recall getting nudged to stand and people whispering, as long as I remember I could not understand the hereditary nature of royalty. QEII did a great job if you’re into that stuff but not for me. On the other hand pirate and malturd are even worse.
There is no meeting halfway.
Either you are polite or you are not. There is no ‘half’-polite.
You have always had the option to act like an adult – yet rarely take that option.
Then you actually wonder why there’s a mega-tonne of upticks against you?
That was my favourite part of the procession a few days ago, the horses nipping each other & tossing their heads like blazes.
If I had to swear in a pathetic lightweight like Liz Truss as my country’s PM, I reckon I’d die of shame almost immediately. QEII made it 48 hours, she had grit.
Seriously, though – that last photograph of her smiling sweetly – she was all skin and bones and hunched over. She aged incredibly quickly following her husband’s death. It’s not uncommon, I know, but still a shock when it’s so evident.
Ah. The 0400 specialist moaner.
Nobody should be banned. Nobody, except Bird who is the exception that proves the rule.
That’s my view, but it’s not my blog. Complain to management, because trust me – nobody else cares. Please bring a topic of value to the discussion, because you can’t complain about the dancing bears when you get them for free.
CMD you’re going to be dead in eight months so don’t worry about it, we’ll carry on regardless.
Wait until the Hunchback is installed officially as dictator.
FMD get a gander at this bruiser:
Dani Laidley has made her red carpet debut at the Brownlow Medal 2022 on Sunday evening with partner Donna Leckie by her side.
The AFL legend, 55, brought a touch of old Hollywood glamour to the carpet in a stunning off-the-shoulder white gown.
Dani was all glammed up for the outing and her makeup palette consisted of dewy foundation and a smoky eye.
Fact check status: True.
Don’t go around saying the world owes you a living. The world owes you nothing. It was here first.
– Mark Twain
Everyone should listen to you more and more Turtlehead because you’re such a smart person. One more thing. In 12 months you’re entrie contribution under this name of yours has been to complain about me and nothing else. In other words your contribution has been a total zero and you’re a waste of space. Now go figure if Sydney Airport is going to be inundated with PRC troops in the next few hours you embarrassing cretin. As I keep telling you, just fuck off.
Oh, do shut up.
KD outs himself as a non-contributor to the blog’s finances.
The European Crikkit League is on the teev. It’s played on astroturf, with a commensurate standard.
Finland vs Hungary, but looks an awful lot like Sri Lanka vs Pakistan.
OCO how much are you putting on the bar? The Albanian is not a lightweight? Can’t remember which State you’re in but I’ll get there if I can.
Typo. It’s HIS red carpet debut.
No, I’m a contributor. I also don’t complain about the dancing bears.
Fair call. 🙂
I dunno, I think she’s cute. She’s obviously transitioned to a lezzo now, right?
Where was the black dude who preached at Harry’s wedding ?
He would have livened it up.
KD knows CMD is not a contributor to the blog’s finances.
A lot of hot dogs had to be traded to gather that piece of valuable intel.
Seriously though, that was a great story. Dim sims for everyone.
Like this. Magnificent.

Liz Truss is Albanian? Huh? Related to Plibbers?
There is a handful of contributors to this blog that have recently taken it over either to deliberately destroy it for political reasons or because they are wantonly destructive. If this crap continues there will be no one left. Clean up your act guys or Dover expel them before they take you down. I would so hate to see this site destroyed.
‘Dani’ Laidley agrees.
KD, one the advantages of living in the decent sized city is the choice of steamed pork and steamed prawn dumplings and choosing the best place. There’s a joint called Dumpling House. Oh man they’re good.
I knew what I was going to see cohenite but still not prepared for mental illness on display. How people could sit there with that explains dan of the dead. Victoria truly is Sicktoria.
Or are you spruiking a battle of the Karens between Truss and Plibbers, Ranga? Shit, my money’s on Plibbers for a KO in the first round.
Albanese the Albanian.
I dont follow Ranga……
Oh right. Isn’t Plibbers from Albania? Or one of those shithole countries.
Actually, I think Albo is less of a lightweight than Truss.
The concern trolling this evening is hilarious. Earlier Tick Trolling then combined with an evening of Concern Trolling is really great comedy.
I hadn’t read your comment properly. You were talking about Madge. True, it probably killed her. Mind you that POS harold wilson should have been enough.
Razey if people put up with a cock in a frock they’ll obviously put up with dan. I couldn’t. Either of them.
Dictator Dan reckons he deserve at least the accolades the Queen is getting.
This kind of passive-aggressive threat is pathetic. Did the RSPCA confiscate your therapy dog? You shouldn’t demand so much from it – it’s cruel.
Toughen up or take a breather. This is hardly blood sport. Sheesh.
Hehe, here I was, thinking it had sliced its junk off. Silly me.
Yeah I reckon dan deserves a funeral too.
Slovenia IIRC.
Possibly the least sheetholey of the former commo countries.
She was somewhat muted during the loud denunciations of dual-citizen LNP politicians.
That’s the first I knew that Albo had grown up in public housing.
Albanian hag, Slovenian hag – same same. Well, the former is more likely to be an arms dealer, but apart from that…
I’m not trolling JC, my concern over the emphasis of a capital R in Rooster is real. We have standards. Don’t let me down.
