Our trends are definitely ‘behind’ the UK.
You cannot think the situation in Australia is analogous to the UK; in 2020 and 2021 we closed our borders (mostly) instituted a harsh lockdown regime and very little covid of the far more virulent varieties circulated in Australia throughout the entire period*
*Except in select aged care facilities in Melbourne eg St Basil’s and to lesser extent Sydney.
Excess deaths across the board, Rosie. I’m sure the experimental therapeutic treatment recently forced upon most of the population had nothing to do with this. Safe and effective!
Y’know, prior to Covid, I wasn’t an anti-vaxxer. Quite the opposite. I am an anti-vaxxer now. I’ll never get a flu shot or any inoculation that doesn’t have a very, very long history of use. And even then I don’t trust the fuckers not to give me something else. Think I’ll go visit Beth* for the ochre treatment instead.
*name changed for cultural reasons (wtf?)
exactly.
I need to clarify my comment, too.
Its clear that there is no significant excess deaths below ~ 50-60yo’s.
There are 10-20% excess deaths above that age
I agree with Coatsworth — and include in that any problems with the vaxx as a possibility, not just covid itself.

From the ABS, deaths by age Jan to May 2022 compared to baseline
0-44 – 98%
45-64 – 105%
65 – 54 – 111%
55 – 74 – 123%
75 – 84 – 121%
85+ – 117%
The real problem with the ABS stats is they don’t give a breakdown in the 0-44 age bracket. So no real guesses can be posited.
Oco
Have you considered the possibility excess deaths are caused by something else?
Example
I waited three days in hospital for surgery because hospitals are so banked up and short of staff. This is now when restrictions have eased. Imagine what’s it’s been like over the past 2 1/2 years.
I’m not ruling it out OCO but I’m also not ruling out the effects of prolonged lockdowns.

So they actually have to scheme and plot and hint at dark secrets of those they are competing against.

Lemon squeezed! CNN host is stunned into silence when royal commentator says African kings – not British royals – should pay reparations for slavery because ‘THEY rounded up their own people and had them waiting in cages on the beaches’
. CNN host Don Lemon was stunned into silence by royal commentator’s remarks
. Lemon interviewed Hilary Fordwich last week, in a clip that went viral on Tuesday
. CNN host asked whether the British royal family should pay slavery reparations
. But Fordwich questioned his reasoning and placed the blame on African leaders
. She argued that any reparations should be paid by descendants of ‘African kings’
She also said the descendants of 2000 RN sailors who died trying to stop the slave trade should receive reparations from Africa. Well played, that lady.
New Orleans had the highest homicide rate of any major city so far this year, with about 41 homicides per 100,000 residents, according to a Wall Street Journal analysis of the organization’s data, collected from most of the nation’s largest law-enforcement departments. The homicide rate was 11.5 in Chicago, 4.8 in Los Angeles and 2.4 per 100,000 in New York City for the same period.
This year to date, the New Orleans homicide rate is up 141% compared with the same period in 2019, according to the Metropolitan Crime Commission Inc., a nonprofit that works to reduce crime in the city. Shootings are up 100%, carjackings 210% and armed robberies up 25%. The homicide rate is on pace to surpass last year’s rate, which was the worst since Hurricane Katrina in 2005.

The world isn’t ready to go fully electric, BMW and Bosch CEOs warn – report
The CEO of BMW, Oliver Zipse, says Europe isn’t ready for a hard cut-off of petrol and diesel engines, telling attendees at the carmaker’s Innovation Day event last week his company thinks “it’s wrong to switch off the combustion engine in Europe”.
The comments echo those by Japanese car giant Toyota and US automaker Ford who say motorists will still need a choice of what powers vehicles of the future, because not every country is rolling out electric tech at the same speed – and the world’s energy mining resources would be overwhelmed if every vehicle on the planet switched to electric power tomorrow.
With the European Union recently agreeing to a ban of new petrol and diesel cars from 2035, the BMW boss warned a deadline for banning internal-combustion engines “would lead to distortions that nobody here can control anymore”.
Markus Heyn, CEO of Bosch – one of the world’s biggest parts and technology suppliers to car manufacturers – this week warned a switch to a pure-electric world would result in a shortage of batteries.

You haven’t answered a single question honestly.
Care to give an example? I’m happy to repeat the three questions which stump you totally. See below. (BTW you also never got around to justifying your assertion that the decline in the first 25 years of the chart is “steep”. I think we all know what self-beclownment that omission proves.)
Fester left out the rest of the chart which was that snowfall levels have fallen and hasn’t recovered, which something you’re unable to deal with
That makes his point cherry picking.
It’s been dealt with repeatedly. Before you can complain legitimately about B0N referring to the last 25 years, you have to explain why 25 years is inadequate to establish a trend, which you’ve totally failed to do no matter how often you’re asked. Your whole schtick on this issue is circular reasoning, based on your climate alarmists’ assumption that there can’t be a change in trend at the 25 year mark of the chart, which you then use as a self-justification for insisting that it’s impermissible to assert a change in trend at the 25 year mark.
Funny that you have engagements today when you have produced literally weeks and weeks of missives against Fatboy and Liz. Today though, you’re too busy. The only thing you ought to be busy about is finding a decent doc and joining a group therapy session with a few others here.
I said there’d be a delay in responding, I never said I wouldn’t. A bit of a premature ejaculation from you on that point.
Let’s take this very slowly.
Question 1 – do you believe that a climate trend can come to an end and be superseded by a different climate trend?
Question 2
If your answer to question 1 was “no”, please report tomorrow morning to the Sheltered Workshop for Mental Defectives.
If your answer was “yes”, please consider the following scenario:
A climate trend has lasted 100 years and is superseded by another trend which may well last another 100 years. How long into the second 100 years do we have to wait before we’re allowed to ask serious questions (like BoN did) of those who insist that the first trend is continuing?
Question 3
If your answer to question 2 was “more than 25 years”, what are your scientific or statistical grounds for that answer?

JC and Rosie, nowhere did I state the dodgy vaxxes are the *only* cause of the increased mortality rates. I’m saying I reckon they are one of causes. Not that we’re likely to know, given the furious institutional agreement not to look into this.
Head prefect I’ve been following your exchange with Timmy about snow. I’m afraid to say he’s right. Climate trends, as I’ve explained, can be as short as 15 years. Just because something fell for a while then rose doesn’t mean the initial fall should be the overall conclusion. Let me show you a graph about diurnal temperature range, DTR. DTR is the difference between the lowest and highest temperature over a 24 hour period. Now alarmists say DTR should be decreasing because the lowest temp usually falls at night and for various bullshit reasons they say night-time temps should be increasing quicker than daytime due to AGW; here’s the graph:
Is DTR decreasing or does the last 40 years of increasing DTR establish a climate trend which contradicts one of the main tenets of AGW?

To be fair, my recollection is that the petrol price at the pump fell significantly on the day the excise was halved. I remember because I was surprised at the speed the saving was passed on to consumers, being used to servos being extremely slow to drop their prices when the value of crude falls, yet are extremely quick to raise their prices when crude rises.
Colliding, I’d say.

This guy probably overeggs the reality a bit but even so, the lithium supply, and other raw materials, is woefully short at present for a full EV future.
Meanwhile, Benchmark Boss Simon Moores loves to tweet some lithium deets, last week flagging that we need close to 400 new lithium, cobalt, nickel and graphite mines to feed a 500% increase in battery demand by 2035.
In the lead up to the Energy Disruptors conference in Calgary, Canada, Moores said today that it will cost $US1-$US3 trillion and take a generation to build a lithium-ion battery supply chain capable of supporting mass market EVs industry and energy storage systems.
This includes building critical minerals supply, cathodes and anodes as well as battery cells. “Our estimates vary from $1Tr to $3Tr depending on scenarios,” Moores said. “At the top end – $3Tr – is for a fully sustainable world beyond 2050. We are on a demand path to needing spending $1Tr by 2040.”
I was wondering when the next A1 Dispatch was going to come in. Here are the highlights:
St. Ruth, take note.
Refreshingly, gas pipes to DeaTh CamPs are not mentioned this time – directly, at least.
Sure, delays in diagnosis and surgery could play a role in excess death, lockdowns too, and the like, but OCO and others aren’t engaging in an academic pursuit of the truth here. The point of emphasising the potential role of the vax (and lockdowns) is political; it’s about creating pressure such that the role of the vax (and lockdowns) is investigated and not ignored. We ought to be more critical and less charitable of both the vax (and lockdowns) because they were mandatory and qualified our participation in social life.
The Daily Mail article makes the claim that Haiti ended slavery before Britain.
My understanding is that it was a rebellion in Haiti where the slaves overthrew – then slaughtered – the French on the island. The French realised the only way they would keep Haiti was to allow the ex-slaves to remain free, and intended later to reinstitute it.
Whether or not you would call a successful uprising by slaves the abolition of slavery depends on definition. The French freed (in law) the ex-slaves on Haiti, but kept it elsewhere. They were driven to this by their colonial and imperial ambitions and in order not to lose a territory to their competitors.
To me it reads more as a rebellion and a deal with France to hold onto that real estate without the issue ever really being about slavery itself. Of course it would be a welcome change for the ex-slaves, but it was about empire, not the rights of men.
Don Lemon is just a race hustler with a contract at CNN.

That makes his point cherry picking.
The graph shows one trend for the first 25 years and another trend for the second 25 years. There’s nothing remotely resembling “cherry picking” in pointing out the existence of the second trend. This has been explained to you several times. Unless you’ve got scientific or statistical reasons for denying that 25 years is long enough from which to postulate a trend, which clearly you haven’t, you’ve got no basis whatsoever for demanding that the two evident trends be combined into one. The evidence that 25 years is long enough has, again, been explained several times and you’ve never got near to engaging with it.
Funny that you have engagements today when you have produced literally weeks and weeks of missives against Fatboy and Liz. Today though, you’re too busy. The only thing you ought to be busy about is finding a decent doc and joining a group therapy session with a few others here.

OCO already said that he doesn’t think that excess deaths has a single cause. It’s clear that what he and others are doing is pointing at the vax because there is considerable institutional inertia against considering the role of the vax 9 (or lockdowns). This is a counter to the ‘move along nothing to see here’ strategy of the institutions. Let the institutions engage in fire control and just enjoy the show from the sidelines.

A new “get Trump” law, whats the bet this will be the only case under this law for a decade…
E Jean Carroll, the writer who accused Donald Trump of raping her more than two decades ago, plans to file a new lawsuit against the former US president.
In a letter made public on Tuesday, a lawyer for former Elle magazine columnist said she planned to sue Trump for battery and intentional infliction of emotional distress under New York state’s Adult Survivors Act.
That law, recently signed by the governor, Kathy Hochul, gives adult accusers a one-year window to bring civil claims over alleged sexual misconduct regardless of how long ago it occurred.
Denying you committed a rape is “slander”?
https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2022/sep/20/e-jean-carroll-trump-lawsuit
Carroll has accused Trump of raping her in the dressing room of the upscale Manhattan department store Bergdorf Goodman. She sued him in 2019 while he was serving his presidency, saying he slandered her by denying her allegation that he raped her in a New York department store in the 1990s. Trump said she was “totally lying” and was “not my type”, among other remarks.

Let’s consider my former workplace as a reasonable control group. (60 persons). They all continued to work, albeit at reduced levels, most live in semi rural areas so had lots of their own stuff to do. They also theoretically had quite a bit of freedom because they had their essential worker letters.
The majority of them got vaxxed post mandate because they were sceptical of efficacy.
Pre-mandate one got vaxxed and for his trouble spent days in hospital with blood related issues. Another who started work at site in the period had a similar experience.
Post vax mandate there have been three heart attacks, and stroke that hit both sides of the brain within minutes. The heart attack / heart problem count continues to climb.

Now, seemingly out of nowhere, my libido and interest in sex have almost disappeared, which has devastated me. I strongly suspect it’s due to a drop in hormone** levels.
I am very healthy, not stressed, don’t drink or smoke and have a good relationship with a communicative and supportive man***. But sex is now often painful, as I struggle with a loss of natural lubrication and I feel “closed up” and unaroused****. I now feel I have to have sex when I simply don’t want it and my partner feels discouraged that I never initiate. Even in the event that I feel aroused psychologically by an idea or fantasy, my body won’t respond.

To summarise, there was a decline in snow fall over the first 25 years of the 50, and the next 25 years are flat, indicating that the earlier decline has (for at least 25 years and counting) ended. Where it goes from here, we will have to wait and see.

Leicester violence could spread beyond city, warns local MP Claudia Webbe
Leicester East MP says ministers must clamp down on ‘extremist rightwing ideology’
Violent clashes between groups of mainly * and ** young men will spread beyond Leicester to other towns and cities without central government and police intervention, a local MP has warned.
Claudia Webbe, whose Leicester East constituency has been at the centre of several incidents over the past month, said ministers needed to clamp down on “extremist rightwing ideology” and misinformation being spread through social media.
There was a tense standoff between groups of * and ** men, and the police, on Saturday evening alongside outbreaks of sporadic violence.
Must be the proud boys/national front vs antifa or the godless commies right?
Webbe said: “The reality is that we have fringe elements led and inspired by extremism and rightwing ideology rearing its head in the UK and in the peaceful city of Leicester.
“If we do not understand the root cause this will spread beyond Leicester to other areas. The government needs to intervene and ensure that social media platforms stop this from getting much, much worse.”
…
In one letter, Webbe said some constituents had voiced fears to her that violence was driven in part by “underlying Islamophobia in parts of Leicester’s communities, rather than an isolated incident”.

Sharmen Rahman, a Labour councillor in Leicester, also said she had a “genuine fear” the issue could spread nationwide.
“I feel like it could lead to a more nationwide issue, where other communities in other cities start reacting to this,” Rahman said. “There is a sense of calm at the moment, but we had a sense of calm before things flared up again. I’m not sure it’s gone away and I think there are matters that need to be dealt with, quite urgently.”

Im unsure which one is the neo-nazi far righters though.
Reminds me of a joke.
After having many children Doris was wanting to get the downstairs area cleaned up it was looking a little tired.
She went to a plastic surgeon who said that he could make that downstairs area like new.
Doris was more than happy to hear that it could be done but was adamant that no one was to know of her operation.
The plastic surgeon agreed no one was to know.
The operation was done and the plastic surgeon came to see Doris in hospital to let her know the operation was successful.
Whilst there Doris noticed there were three bunches of flowers on the table near her bed.
Doris asked what were the flowers doing here , no one was supposed to know.
The plastic surgeon said the first bunch was from me, to congratulate you on a successful operation.
Doris, thought ok that’s fair.
But who is the second bunch from, that’s from Jen the nurse in the other ward, she also had the same operation and the flowers were her way of letting you know everything will be ok.
Doris thought ok that sounds more than thoughtful.
But what about the third bunch, who else knows.
Ah, said the plastic surgeon the third bunch is from Phil in the burns unit, he just wants to thank you for his new ears.
rickw I’m of the opinion that the so called vax had differing strengths highlighted by someone here recently. In Canberra I know people who got vaxxed early in the piece and others later like my wife. The ones who got vaxxed early most got the coof for a few days, only one lasted a bit longer. The older people have not had the coof at all. Wife got a head cold recently with me a week later. Thats it. I still wonder if the vax strength here was light on as the government can’t afford the PSA to fall over. Conspiracy stuff, maybe, but looking at numbers very few died or had complications in the ACT. What to believe, certainly not the government with their trained monkeys hyping everything. I wouldn’t be surprised in Victoria if a different vax was used as dan of the dead covers up anything adverse anyway.

I just got back from another funeral this morning.
Until recently, the last funeral I went to was my dad’s in August 2019 before all the Covid crap started.
I have been to three funerals this year. My wife has been to two others. Expecting to go to another as a cousin has recently had a terminal diagnosis.
I know it’s anecdotal but I’m getting tired of going to funerals.
Mucking about in boats is about as good as it gets. Doesn’t matter whether a dingy or ship, they are the most enjoyable on the scale of fun, sex with Sarah Sea Patrol being 1 and mucking about in boats 50,000,000.

The missivist.
You clown, it’s a 50 year chart clearly displaying a drop to the lower levels after the first 25 years and it’s flatlined at the lower levels since.
Yes, exactly Gutless Boy. Two trends. Just as I’ve been saying all along and you’ve been flip flopping over.
You can’t drivel your way out of a clear observable fact that it contradicts Uncle Fester’s point. It was his chart!
It doesn’t contradict BoN’s point at all, GB. B0N was referring to the second trend. Once again you’re reasoning in a circle and relying on your own misconceptions to justify themselves.
Forgive me, I am gutless for not at least intervening to shut your disgraceful trap about Liz in the 1000’s of turgid words yiu used against her. It reached the point where the blog owner had to intervene to stop the onslaught.

THE STOCK MARKET EXPLAINED WITH MONKEYS
Once upon a time in a village, a man announced to the villagers that he would buy monkeys for $10.
The villagers, seeing that there were many monkeys around, went out to the forest and started catching them.
The man bought thousands at $10 and as supply started to diminish, the villagers stopped their effort.
He further announced that he would now buy at $20. This renewed the efforts of the villagers and they started catching monkeys again.
Soon the supply diminished even further and people started going back to their farms. The offer rate increased to $25 and the supply of monkeys became so little that it was an effort to even see a monkey, let alone catch it!
The man now announced that he would buy monkeys at $50! However, since he had to go to the city on some business, his assistant would now buy on behalf of him.
In the absence of the man, the assistant told the villagers. Look at all these monkeys in the big cage that the man has collected. I will sell them to you at $35 and when the man returns from the city, you can sell it to him for $50″.
The villagers squeezed up with all their savings and bought all the monkeys.
Then they never saw the man nor his assistant, only monkeys everywhere!

No shit, B John. It declined and remained at the lower levels. However, the missivist has a time machine and is able to inform we just need to wait for the next 25 years and the continuation of Uncle Fester’s chart will display a healthy recovery. This will happen after he gets through his busy diary of “engagements” likely at a couple of other blogs where he gets paid an hourly rate of 1000 bucks.
This story about the treatment of Aboriginal players at Hawthorn is yuuuge.
Put it together with the one about Collingwood racists.
The whole rodeo is just starting. Victim groups everywhere and because we’ve all learnt that white men are unreformable racists there will be no way to satisfy the grievances. The result will be ongoing smouldering discontent.
The lesson might be to just steer clear of indigenous players no matter how brilliant they are.
I must admit to not knowing this little detail about the end of the slave trade…
https://thecritic.co.uk/the-royal-navy-in-the-front-line-against-slavery/
The most important active British anti-slavery naval force, however, in the first half of the nineteenth century was that based in West Africa which freed slaves and took them to Freetown in Sierra Leone, a British colony founded for free black people. They could not be returned to their homes, as they would only be captured anew by fellow Africans and sold as slaves. Indeed, in 1862, Viscount Palmerston, the Prime Minister, observed:
Half the evil has been done by the time the slaves are captured in the American waters. The razzia [devastating raid] has been made in Africa, the village has been burnt, the old people and infants have been murdered, the young and the middle aged have been torn from their homes and sent to sea.

Jesus and Moses walk up to the tee of a long par 3 over water. Golf.
Jesus tees up his ball and is aiming for the green. Moses turns to Jesus and says “What are you doing? You’re not that big of a hitter; you can’t drive this green”. Jesus replied “If Tiger Woods can drive this green then so can I!”
He then pulled back his driver and let it rip. The ball went about 2/3 of the way and splashed into the water hazard. Jesus then turned to Moses and said “Would you mind going and getting that for me?”
So Moses walks down to the edge of the pond, raises his putter and parts the water.
After handing Jesus his ball back Jesus tees it up and is aiming at the green again. Moses shaking his head asks Jesus “What are you doing? You just missed this shot; you’re not a big enough hitter to drive this green”.
Jesus replied “If Tiger Woods can drive this green than so can I” He then pulled back his driver and let it rip. The ball went about 2/3 of the way and splashed into the water hazard again. Jesus then turned to Moses and said “Would you mind going and getting that for me again?”
So Moses walks down to the edge of the pond for a second time, raises his putter and parts the water.
After having his ball retrieved for the second time Jesus tees up the ball, aiming again for the green. Moses is just beside himself saying “What are you doing? You’ve missed this shot twice! Just take a drop and you can salvage a double bogey”.
For a third time Jesus replied “If Tiger Woods can drive this green then so can I!” He then pulled back his driver and let it rip. The ball went about 2/3 of the way and splashed into the water hazard again.
This time when he turned to Moses, Moses said “No, go get it yourself” So Jesus walks down to the water hazard and walks out across the water peering down looking for his ball.
By this time the next foursome has reached the tees and one of the guys sees Jesus walking on the water hazard.
He says “Look at that guy! Who does he think he is – Jesus Christ? To which Moses replies “He is Jesus Christ but he thinks he’s Tiger Woods”.

Can confirm.
Have seen it at least twice.
1/. A threat by cops to solve a series of serious thefts by framing an itinerant station caretaker. (The outcome is another story)
2/. Police creating a “crime scene”, photographing & processing this “crime scene”, tendering these in court – all totally faked, as there had been no crime, the police were totally framing an innocent man.
At least half-a-dozen police officers gave evidence under oath, all of it fiction, as there had been no crime.
Those are the worst two instances that come to mind.
They’ll do anything.

The Need for a Place to Stand
From the Quadrant Online –
“There are few events in life that shake us to the metaphysical core, even fewer that we share with millions of others, but the death of Queen Elizabeth may well be such a moment. Her Majesty’s death prompts me to ask who are we and, indeed, who am I?
Australian sociologist John Carroll has long maintained that our deepest human search is for a ‘place to stand’ from which we can act in the world collectively and individually. This place to stand can’t be unstable or easily eroded lest we become disoriented and seek comfort and/or meaning in the trivial or, most dangerous of all, the revolutionary act of destruction. Canadian philosopher Charles Taylor argues that we must orient ourselves in a moral space, otherwise we are forced into a literal identity crisis. As Jesus put it, one needs to build on a rock, not on sand, so that, spiritually speaking, we can withstand the flood.
For any fair-minded person, it would be difficult to think of anyone more admirable than Elizabeth Alexandra Mary Windsor, who knew most definitely where she stood. At age 21 she committed her life to her country and what was then the Empire, never wavering through 70 years on the throne. She was clearly a person profoundly interested in people, in nations and the world, making a deliberate effort to find the human amidst the show of ancient ceremony. As Boris Johnson noted in his brilliant speech to the House of Commons (below), she fulfilled her duty unfailingly. Her devotion to the ideal of service was so thoroughly counter the spirit of our age that it stands almost as a rebuke. It certainly sets a standard by which we can measure our own moral locations and those our leaders. In terms of duty, honour and consistency, by varying degrees virtually all of us come up short.
In the great conservative tradition, the Queen cultivated and adjusted (in a Burkean sense) the role she inherited. She acted with full awareness that she was a legatee responsible for maintaining and transmitting that inheritance in her turn. Crucially, she did it by adhering to, and genuinely nurtured by, the faith she was charged to defend. All this gave her that place to stand.
Now Elizabeth’s death forces us to wonder what comes next. Is the monarchy the ‘centre’, as W.B. Yeats put it, that ‘cannot hold’ now that she is gone? Jordan Peterson is not alone in predicting her passing will mark the start of the monarchy’s dissolution. Mourning the Queen is in some senses a dual mourning: we mourn the person, and we also mourn the passing of an era while contemplating what will follow.
This brings me to a possible Australian republic. I was a voter for the republic in 1999, mainly as a youthful act of patriotism and because I wanted us to be Australian all the way up and down. A part of me still thinks so. But I see that, at its best, the monarchy incorporates a profound solidity — again, that ‘place to stand’ — to be passed from generation to generation. To declare a republic and give the nation a new charter requires something metaphysically deep, a foundation of rock not sand. I confess to a diminishing level of trust that our elites will not seek to use a republic to trivialise, weaken and divide us with worm-ridden wokeness, rather than to reform us into something worthy of an enduring inheritance.
Unless and until that is the case, I will not be marching off to the polls, as in my youth, to vote for severing us from the monarch.

Stock Market explained.
Yeah, but its always nice when the dividends start rolling in. This year has been brutal in share price growth but on the other hand, what a time to buy particularly for those of us who take a long term outlook. Bargains galore – well under any reasonable valuation – and every time that idiot Biden opens his mouth, an opportunity presents to gather up some more at a low price.
One day, Biden will be gone and the good times will return.
Today’s Hawthorn story is a real stinker for us fans, it’s true.
It doesn’t matter than other clubs might have done the same thing. The people involved should have known better. Very disappointing.

Your snipe about Clarkson not going to Essendon “because high standards” hasn’t aged well.
The truth is, Clarkson wanted total control of the whole club as coach, which North acceded to and Esserdon didn’t. This trait is what led Kennett to push him out at Hawthorn. It was interesting that the initial push on this story was an attempt to smear Kennett with an accusation of racism over some trivial comment to a WAG about her designer torn jeans.
BTW, nice evidence free deflection “that other clubs might have done the same thing”.
Again, monty, you display your lack of understanding of a foundational principle of our society – the presumption of innocence. Granted, these may not be criminal charges, but they are serious allegations that could see people lose their jobs and suffer other financial and social penalties. As such, the accused are entitled to reply to the allegations and not be assumed guilty before a competent authority has investigated the allegations, applied natural justice and made a determination of guilt.

[To summarise, there was a decline in snow fall over the first 25 years of the 50, and the next 25 years are flat, indicating that the earlier decline has (for at least 25 years and counting) ended. Where it goes from here, we will have to wait and see.]
No shit, B John. It declined and remained at the lower levels. However, the missivist has a time machine and is able to inform we just need to wait for the next 25 years and the continuation of Uncle Fester’s chart will display a healthy recovery. …
Poor old Gutless Boy beclowns himself yet again.
No-one has predicted an upturn. No-one has mentioned anything about an upturn except Gutless Boy himself. BoN referred to a flatlining trend. The existence of a flatlining trend doesn’t depend on whether or not there’s a prospect of a recovery. If the flatlining continued for a thousand years would that disprove BoN’s point? Obviously not. Obviously to anyone except Gutless Boy that is.
Note that poor old Gutless Boy quotes “Where it goes from here, we will have to wait and see”, and then starts crowing about an alleged prediction of an upturn. Zero comprehension skills. Desperately sad.

I went to one a couple of weeks ago for a mid 30’s lady friend, killed in a motor vehicle accident.
Sad occasion for a life cut short, but I couldn’t help but notice the number of people who turned up dressed as if they were off to K Mart for some shopping, and not all young people either. The big majority of men were wearing the traditional suit and black tie, ladies in black or subdued colours.
When did it become acceptable to dress casually for funerals?
Hawthorn has always lagged behind the AFL average on race, Sancho. We only had two indigenous players get to the seniors before the year 2000. We’re better than we were, as are all other clubs, but there’s still a ways to go. Stuff like this will help drag the old bastards into the light, which is a good thing that fans who aren’t racist will support.

Gutless Boy, rather than throwing a ludicrous and self-demeaning toddler tantrum, you could actually answer the questions I asked.
One was on what grounds you described the decline shown in the first half of BoN’s chart as “steep”.
Then there are the following.
Let’s take this very slowly.
Question 1 – do you believe that a climate trend can come to an end and be superseded by a different climate trend?
Question 2
If your answer to question 1 was “no”, please report tomorrow morning to the Sheltered Workshop for Mental Defectives.
If your answer was “yes”, please consider the following scenario:
A climate trend has lasted 100 years and is superseded by another trend which may well last another 100 years. How long into the second 100 years do we have to wait before we’re allowed to ask serious questions (like BoN did) of those who insist that the first trend is continuing?
Question 3
If your answer to question 2 was “more than 25 years”, what are your scientific or statistical grounds for that answer?
I have a somewhat more optimistic view than yourself JC, but time will tell. I do think that growth/recovery will be patchy across the broad market but the headlong rush into industries allied to ‘net zero’ projects presents big opportunities for profit.
The fact remains that government, all of them, are legislating and spending vast amounts of taxpayer funds on certain industries but this is not a debate on whether they should be doing so. I have posted many times about the ‘inevitability’ of specific aspects related to net zero and my view is that if I can profit from what I see as an inevitable change, I will do so. I know that (mercenary) philosophical approach is different to some Cats but, c’est la vie.
(Allied to that are geopolitical considerations. Rare earth mining and processing are a classic example where western govts are scared witless that China controls 85-90 % of the market.)
No media wants to touch what this tells us about abortion. It makes the blood run cold to see how dispensable was the life of a child in the quest for an AFL premiership.

Biden’s ‘60 Minutes’ Interview Proved Once Again He Isn’t Running The Country, So Who Is?
Biden’s Taiwan blunders and the White House’s repeated walk backs reveal what many Americans have long suspected: Biden is not running the U.S. government.
President Joe Biden sat down for a rare, one-on-one interview on CBS’s “60 Minutes” this past weekend, and it went about as well as you’d expect.
In addition to dismissing public concerns about skyrocketing inflation and his family’s foreign business dealings, America’s commander in chief decided to lay out his administration’s supposed policy with respect to the ongoing China-Taiwan issue.
“We agree with what we signed onto a long time ago,” Biden said in an apparent reference to the 1979 Taiwan Relations Act. “There’s a ‘One China Policy,’ and Taiwan makes their own judgments about their independence. We are … not encouraging [them to be] independent. … That’s their decision.”
Under the “One China Policy,” the United States acknowledges that the People’s Republic of China (PRC) is the sole government of China and that Taiwan belongs to China. The U.S. does not, however, recognize the PRC’s claims to territorial sovereignty over Taiwan.
While Biden’s remarks about Taiwanese independence fall in line with the United States’ long-standing policy toward the island nation, his next comments almost assuredly left White House staff hopping mad. When asked by CBS News’s Scott Pelley if the United States would come to Taiwan’s defense in the event of a Chinese invasion, Biden answered with an unequivocal “yes.”
“So, unlike Ukraine, to be clear, sir, U.S. forces, U.S. men and women would defend Taiwan in the event of a Chinese invasion?” Pelley asked in a follow-up, to which Biden replied, “yes.”
Biden’s Taiwan blunders and the White House’s repeated walk backs reveal what many Americans have suspected for the past year and a half, which is that Biden is not running the U.S. government.
As has long been held throughout American history, it is the president that heads up and steers U.S. foreign policy, not unelected bureaucrats. Yet that is exactly the situation the country finds itself in today.
At every turn of his presidency, Biden has abdicated his responsibilities to unknown White House staffers, who direct and carry out the government’s major policy initiatives while America’s commander in chief slinks away to his Delaware beach house at every available opportunity. In essence, Biden has become nothing more than a puppet, whose strings are being controlled by unnamed, high-level White House officials to shape America and her foreign policy through whatever means necessary.

When an old person dies, turning up in board shorts and a Hawaiian shirt or the female equivalent, is disrespectful and ignorant. At a minimum, attendees should have 80% of their body covered, preferably in dark or neutral colours. No thongs, unless it is culturally appropriate.
OTOH, when a party animal of lesser vintage dies, usually as a result of his/her life choices, anything goes.

Poor old Gutless Boy, still trying to hide behind a human shield. Pathetic.
As for my “engagements”, the deadline I referred to turned out to be easier to meet than I’d feared. I will, though, still be out for a long time later today. But never fear, if Gutless Boy comes up with some new credibility self-implosions I’ll try to catch up when I return.
In any case, everyone takes a short break every now and then. Some people go for a cigarette, some people go for a coffee, I switch to this site and marvel at Gutless Boy’s self-beclownment.
BTW I work three days a week and have flexibility as to when that is, which enables me to come on here far more than I would if I were working full time. So Gutless Boy’s jibes about my work come from a position of ignorance.
That values the sites at less than $500,000 each, which sounds really cheap… until you remember the cost of environmental cleanup. So many servos knocked down and left vacant for years due to soil contamination.

Never settle for being a silver medal.
You don’t need me telling you this. There is nothing new under the sun.
You are better off sleeping in an attic or a bed sit than being treated like an unloved, laborious chore.
You got a link for that?
Never acceptable. See also: Deus Ex Machina.

You mean this POS is free to light more fires? Now we now why there are so many Bush Fires and it has SFA to do with Climate Change.
mUnty – soil contamination isn’t an issue unless there is a change of use. You need to get out of your inner city upper middle class ghetto a bit.
