The political caste are our betters, they get up to no shenanigans, thus security cameras are not required for them.
Ministers know all about surveillance & its propensity to end careers.
Being surveilled is what happens to the little people.

China has stolen what it cannot buy, copied what it refused to licence and sabotaged competition whenever it got the opportunity.
It has done more damage to affect the trust, goodwill, and spirit of co operation in every area of trade and scientific endeavour than any other nation on the planet.
China NEVER negotiates honestly.
It’s incredible that it accuses others of doing what it does on a daily basis.

A 5Kt airburst at 3000 meters is quite survivable by troops in a dirt bunker with 12″ of overhead cover.
The same with armoured vehicles behind a berm or solid building, ditto.
An enhanced radiation 10kt airburst at 10 km will see even the cockroaches fry.

Interesting article.
Where would you place a 20 ton kinetic weapon delivered at mach 20 in this scenario?
Yeah did it with the big battery out and external power, with the big and little battery our and external power.
I noticed that with the big battery out when I plug the power in it flashes 2-3 times but not so with the big battery in
Anyway beyond me, off to the doctor tomorrow morn, be on their door step at nine when they open. Then wait forever til they get around to it.
I am going t o have to bite the bullet and get a new one, this is a HP probook 450 G 1, although upgraded ram and hard drive and chip a few years ago.
It is ancient, I reckon I have had it over ten years.
So it appears it will be Dell. Even though no vga plug! Thanks for all your comms.
A hard reset is battery out windows plus b plus on switch, never even beeped.
The other is on switch for 20 secs with battery out and power off then plug in and switch on.
Having surveillance cameras in the office of the Minister for Defence would probably not be so smart.
The reason I specified corridors is for exactly that reason. Security cameras in corridors would corroborate (or not) the stories of both in this case. He said he went one way and left her somewhere, she said differently. Security cameras do not need to be in a ministers office to see if that was factual no matter who you get to have a look at it.
I wish you could buy them wit( out all their preloaded bloatware and auto cloud connections and having to have a google account before you can start the damn thing. Spyware.
Anyway, “Sliante ” to all you mob.
Mme Zulu is making muttering noises about dinner down the street, sooner rather then later, and our local pub sells her favourite gin, so I think she’s on the mend…
Digger, the ministers office would be a suite of offices, with one for the minister and several others as well as a waiting room sort of area. Tea room and bathroom too. So corridor tv would only see them enter the suite and him leaving later.

‘Dr’ Chalmers has as much credibility as ‘Dr’ Jill. PhDs or Dphils or whatever are a dime a dozen.
A man joins an extremely exclusive nudist club.
The first day in the camp he undresses and starts walking around a bit uncomfortably. The first person he meets is an extremely beautiful busty blonde and the man gets an erection immediately. The woman notices his erection, comes up to him and says “Sir, you called me?”. The man replies “No, absolutely not; what do you mean?” She says “Oh, you must be new here. I’ll explain it to you. It’s one of the rules here that if you get an erection, it’s assumed you called me”. Smiling, she takes him to the side of the pool, lays down on her towel, pulls him over and lets him indulge his passions on her.
The man continues his exploration and arrives at a sauna. When he sits down, he suddenly has to pass gas and within a few minutes a huge, rather revolting, hairy man emerges. “You called me?” he asks. “No, what do you mean” says the newcomer. “Oh, you must be new here, the man says. “It’s one of the rules here that if you fart, it is assumed you called me”. He grabs the man, turns him around and begins to act out all his fantasies with the newcomer.
The newcomer eventually waddles back to the office of the nudist camp, where he is greeted by a smiling, naked receptionist.
“Can I help you, sir?” she asks politely. The man shouts “Here is my membership card, here is my key and keep my $1,500 membership fee. “I’m leaving immediately!”. “But sir” she replies “You’ve only been here for a few hours and you haven’t even looked at all our facilities”.
“Listen” the man says “I’m 65 years old, I only get an erection about once a month, but I have to fart at least 15 times a day!!”.
A failure is not always a mistake, it may simply be the best one can do under the circumstances. The real mistake is to stop trying.

The Alex Jones saga is absurd.
He admitted he fucked up. He is being/has been sued in three different states for the same tortious behaviour. He is being held responsible for the actions of others. If he incited people to violence, that is a criminal act of which he has not been accused.
I understand he may be accused of intentionally defaming someone for financial gain. The notion he caused a billion dollars of damages is just absurd. Interesting to see how the appeals will go if these tort cases violate his 1A and 8 A rights.
Really this is about shutting up independent media. His production values are excellent and he has a large loyal following.

Reuters Rushes in to Protect Government, Informing Us Nobody Promised Vaccines Would Prevent Spread of COVID
In an audacious change in the script, Reuters’ latest fact-check informs us rabble we were wrong to think the vaccine would stop the virus.
It is not necessary to rehash much of what we heard over the past few years regarding the efficacy of the COVID vaccines. We were lectured ad nauseam about not only the effectiveness of the shots to halt the spread, but how it was all but required of us to get the shot. Twice. Then the booster. Then the next boosters. All were assured these would stop the outbreak, and anyone daring to question things was considered heretical–and in need of retribution.
Well, now comes some rather shocking news from Reuters: It was all a load of crap. The news outlet performs a staggering. revisionist history fact-check to tell us that it was all our own fault for believing the vaccines would save us from infection. We somehow came up with this conclusion on our own because, according to the news syndicate, nobody promised us the vaccines would work. Imagine everyone’s surprise.
This all stems from a European Parliament committee that called Pfizer executives to testify, and the drug company experts actually came out to declare they had no idea if their vaccine would, in fact, halt the spread of COVID. Testifying was Janine Small, appearing in place of the company’s CEO, Albert Bourla. Unknown was whether Bourla’s absence was a result of his contracting COVID himself–for the second time, it needs to be pointed out.
As a result of this testimony, Reuters has chosen to not explore the history of authorities, medical experts, and the media telling us that we needed to get vaccinated to halt the spread. Instead, they take the easy route of declaring no one made such a promise, and it is our own fault for believing this possibility.
To get emergency approval, companies needed to show that the vaccines were safe and prevented vaccinated people from getting ill. They did not have to show that the vaccine would also prevent people from spreading the virus to others. The misleading posts imply that national restrictions such as vaccine passports were based on a promise of vaccines blocking virus spread that neither the companies nor EU regulators made before the vaccines were marketed.
This is quite the revisionist history. I recall Dr. Anthony Fauci touting the need to vaccinate to create people becoming “dead ends” for the spread. Joe Biden repeatedly made the claim the vaccine halted the spread. As for the press itself, there are countless submissions to note, of non-medically-trained journalists lecturing the public in condescending fashion over the effectiveness and need of the Pfizer injections.

‘COMPLETE NONSENSE’
Social media users are circulating video clips of testimony by a Pfizer executive, who is said to “admit” that the company and its partner BioNTech did not test whether their mRNA-based COVID-19 vaccine reduced virus transmission prior to rolling it out – which is something the companies were not required to do for initial regulatory approval, nor did they claim to have done.
To get emergency approval, companies needed to show that the vaccines were safe and prevented vaccinated people from getting ill. They did not have to show that the vaccine would also prevent people from spreading the virus to others. Once the vaccines were on the market, independent researchers in multiple countries studied people who received the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine and did show that vaccination reduced transmission of variants circulating at the time.
As these results on transmission were emerging in early 2021, national health authorities in many countries implemented or proposed vaccine-passport-style regulations that prompted ongoing debate (here) over the ethical and legal basis of the rules.
The misleading posts imply that national restrictions such as vaccine passports were based on a promise of vaccines blocking virus spread that neither the companies nor EU regulators made before the vaccines were marketed.

A Look Back at the Demonization of the Unvaccinated
Michael P Senger
Oct 14
Social media has been in an uproar since a member of European Parliament posted a video of a hearing in which a Pfizer director admitted the company never tested whether its Covid mRNA vaccine prevents transmission prior to its approval for emergency use.
Though the fact that Covid mRNA vaccines do not prevent transmission was, of course, abundantly clear from the data soon after their implementation, this myth was a primary justification for vaccine passes and a primary cause of the unprecedented venom launched at those who refused Covid vaccines throughout 2021 and continuing through today.
Not only did governments exert this pressure through policy, but in many cases politicians and officials used their office to deliberately stoke the social stigmatization of the unvaccinated. Here’s a look back at some of the unprecedented vitriol that was launched at those who refused Covid vaccines from 2021 and beyond.
Officials in many jurisdictions proposed making the unvaccinated pay more for healthcare.
In Victoria, Australia—where lockdowns were longer than in perhaps any other city in the world—one politician proposed cutting the unvaccinated out of the national health system entirely.
A particularly disturbing idea that began to gain serious traction among the elite commentariat was to have hospitals triage emergency care to serve the unvaccinated last, or even deny healthcare to the unvaccinated entirely—a fairly clear-cut crime against humanity.
One vocal proponent of the idea of triaging emergency care to disfavor the unvaccinated was David Frum, Senior Editor of the Atlantic, most famous for his outspoken support for the invasion of Iraq. When his infamous tweet on the subject sparked an uproar, Frum doubled down.
bioethics
The demonization of the unvaccinated was, of course, far from limited to healthcare. Vilifying the unvaccinated became a kind of illiberal fad among the elite commentariat. The US CDC even paid screenwriters and comedians to promote Covid vaccines, which in some cases involved paying them to mock the unvaccinated.
In a bout of recidivism to the early 20th century, Austria and Germany introduced the chilling concept of “lockdown for the unvaccinated.”
Most countries, cities, and states across the Western world introduced vaccine passes that their own citizens had to show in order to partake in daily life. The World Health Organization published an extensive document on implementing a digital vaccine-pass system, including an international vaccine status registry and instructions on how to later revoke someone’s vaccine pass.
And of course, who could forget Justin Trudeau’s classic fuhrer-style rant about having to share public transportation with the unvaccinated, despite government documents later revealing that he had no science to back any of these claims.
Like so much of the response to Covid, these vaccine passes and the illiberal fad of stigmatizing the unvaccinated were unscientific, unprecedented, ineffective, totalitarian, brutal, and dumb.
It was never remotely realistic for any government to expect every single person to get vaccinated, especially when the vaccine in question involved a novel genetic-based therapy. Thus, these proposals to impose draconian hardships on those who refused Covid vaccines would inevitably involve the state imposing draconian hardships on a sizable portion of the population.
According to Harvard epidemiologist Martin Kulldorff, one of the most credible voices on the subject, Covid vaccines likely yielded benefits for the elderly and vulnerable, but it remains entirely unclear whether Covid vaccines have yielded any benefit at all for healthy adults and especially for children. Coupled with the still-unknown risks associated with mRNA technology and the now well-documented cases of death and serious injury from these vaccines, for governments across the world to have exerted extreme pressure on children and healthy adults to get these vaccines is absolutely sickening.
That some healthy young people were surely coerced into receiving an injection that led to their death or serious injury, when the data showed that the benefits did not outweigh the risks, is an unconscionable tragedy.
Well, what did you expect from leftists?
Zelensky Still Pushing to Start World War III

“Ukraine is doomed unless it removes Zelensky from power. I have warned that this guy whose only qualification is to dance in high heels, is a threat to the entire world.

His latest plea is for the West to send troops to guard the border with Belarus. Vladimir Makei, Belarusian Minister of Foreign Affairs, has responded that deploying a mission of representatives of Western countries on the Ukrainian-Belarusian border would be equivalent to “these third countries directly engaging in the Ukrainian conflict.” Indeed, Zelensky knows what he is asking for and has already said many times that World War III has already begun.
Zelensky has his hundred of millions stashed offshore. The Ukrainian people better wake up. Their country will be left in total ruin and the flow of billions will come to an end. War ALWAYS costs more lives of civilians than soldiers. That is true of every war from World War I to Vietnam. This is a proxy war by Neocons who just hate Russia and push for its extinction. I have been warned that their designs will fail. They think they can conquer the world like Napoleon waging war neatly one at a time. That will fail. China will NOT stand by and allow Russia to be defeated for they know they will be next. This is total insanity, and there seems to be no leader anywhere who dares to even suggest peace. China has also told its citizen to leave Ukraine now. The window is closing and if the Ukrainian people think this high-heel dancing head of state will stand there with the last man, they are dreaming. He will have his private jet waiting to take him to his blood money.
To those Ukrainians living in Germany and thinking there will be something to return to, you better think again. Beware of November.”

Xi Appointed for Life Thanks to Biden
From Armstrong Economics –
“The United States under the Biden Administration appears to have done ABSOLUTELY everything they could to ensure that President Xi Jinping would be delivered a mandate to potentially rule for life as a major meeting wraps up in Beijing. With Biden claiming the US will defend Taiwan and Pelosi hopping on flights to Taiwan to assure the US will defend them, from a geopolitical analysis perspective, they were absolutely brain dead UNLESS they were deliberately telling China the USA wants war. The approval of this landmark announcement in a communique was established not since Mao Zedong and Deng Xiaoping had China authored a so-called historical resolution.
What the Biden administration has been doing is deliberately showing no respect for the dignity of China or Russia. But insulting both nations, their culture, and their people is only an invitation to war. China directly addressed that calling this “the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.” That was a direct response to the way they view the Biden administration which seems to be on a mission to screw the entire world. Never in international relations do you EVER insult the opposition, or call people like Putin a war criminal when a war criminal can never be applied to a leader based upon actions of those in battle.
Looking at this objectively, China was pushed into a corner by the constant rhetoric from the Biden Administration that China is an enemy – not a friendly nation. This not only imposes serious risks to Taiwan in the months ahead but also to Hong Kong. A closing in the Hong Kong share index below 13319 for 2022, will war of a major further crash probably into the 3rd quarter of 2023 if not into 2024.”

Possible explanations include
1) Locking down/school from home/masking students to protect them from an illness that is no significant threat to them DID have other consequences
2) Injecting students with an experimental ‘vaxxine’ which spread widely in their bodies, including into the brain (to protect them from an illness that is no significant threat to them) DID have other consequences.

Uni entry test scores worst in 30 years
Officials blamed disruption to learning
Any society which uses the v.i. “learning” in place of the n. “education” deserves to be overrun by disciplined celestials.
The use of v.i. “learning” entrenches the movement called student centred learning, in which the kid is empowered to direct the content, pace, and direction of information that comes their way.
“Education” presupposes valuable knowledge curated by responsible adults and delivered by a content-rich teacher.
Of course the latter will not suit the deliberate dumbing down of Australian children.
2) Injecting students with an experimental ‘vaxxine’ which spread widely in their bodies, including into the brain (to protect them from an illness that is no significant threat to them) DID have other consequences.
I’m sure the powers that be are very happy to have a dumbed down, more docile and credulous population. Seems Idiocracy got everything right except for mechanism. Malevolent action instead of simply the stupid trash outbreeding anyone with a brain.

Daily Mail, Bruce Pascoe was unavailable for comment.
Indeed. He supposedly attempted to monetise the Sandy Hook incident but, according to Barnes, spent only 7 minutes over 6 or 7 years actually talking about it.
Again, I reiterate, listen to the interview between Barnes and Wood I linked to yesterday evening. The entire process was heavily biased, procedural safeguards removed, and the like. Apparently, even an FBI agent/ lawyer was awarded 90M even though he wasn’t named nor heard Jones talk about him, was neither a parent of a slain child or knew any of the parents.
Not just absurd, also a shit show and travesty.
Add the substitution of “learnings” for “lessons”.
And please…if someone substitutes “reached out to” for “contacted” again, I swear I’ll commit a crime.
Of course – they WANT the ‘human herd’ to be docile and stay in their paddocks, ready for metaphorical or actual slaughter. Thats why cantankerous old ‘scrub bulls’ like myself, which keep pushing on fences and jumping out, are targetted.

Further to my earlier post the report states that the container of discarded lithium batteries was consigned originally from Nth Carolina to the port to be loaded onto a foreign flagged ship destined for China.
Questions that it raises for me:
Do all lithium batteries have to be sent to China for refurbishing?
recycling?
Has the recycling process been factored into the Australian Government’s estimate of the Carbon footprint for an EV?
What is the process for certifying that a lithium battery is fully discharged and safe to transport?
The last time I went to a battery place in Toowoomba to turn in some expired batteries, they were in the premises next door while theirs was being repaired after a lithium battery fire in their expired battery bin.
Batteries are shit. Unfortunately necessary.

Time to blow the dykes (no Im not referring to transexual lesbians) and get serious about rewilding Cloghoppers!
Remkes, who has been serving as the chief mediator between farmers’ organisations and the government in the ongoing dispute over nitrogen emissions, laid out a plan last week that would see farms located close to protected environments forcibly relocated and a scheme for the government to seize up to 600 farms that emit the most nitrogen.
And this might be the first mention on their ABCcess about the issue.
Note the missing details from the weasel word report.
https://www.abc.net.au/news/rural/2022-10-17/dutch-farmer-protests-lessons-for-australian-farmers-methane/101539580
In the Netherlands, the government is already buying back farms and wants to cut the size of the herd by 30 per cent to meet commitments made in the 1980s. So, are there lessons for Australia?
The Netherlands is a small country with a big population of people and livestock.
There are 35,000 farmers and a cattle herd of more than 1.5 million.
Emissions of ammonia and nitrogen from cows, pigs and chickens have been polluting the environment for decades. In 2019, the Dutch High Court ruled the country was in breach of commitments made to the European Union in the 1980s.
The government announced it would address that ruling by cutting emissions of nitrogen and ammonia from farms by 50 per cent in just eight years.
….
In response, farmers took to the streets to block roads and food distribution centres with their tractors, dumped garbage – including asbestos – on highways, and torched bales of hay.
….
Luckily the ABCcess finds an impartial person for some commentary on the issue.
Journalist Marc van der Sterren,(who has arms like matchsticks and is a fine specimen of urbanus bugmanus) who is the son of a Dutch farmer, said the protesters went too far.
“I was a bit ashamed of those protests … they burned things on the street, they threatened a minister,” he said.
“If you go to a private house of a minister to threaten her and her family, I think you go too far.”
Yessss, because threatening the family home and income producing ability of pleb farmers using the otgans of the state is different because…???
…
But dont worry Aussie farmers…
A warning for Australian farmers
While farming systems and the debate over sustainability is very different in Australia, Andrew McKillop has this warning for farmers about what could be coming down the policy pipeline.
“It’s a never-ending minefield,” he said.
“Any farmer not reducing their fungicide, pesticide, chemical or fertiliser use is probably not keeping an eye on their bottom line.”
Because everyone knows farmers love spending more than they need to on inputs.
RABZ them, RABZ them all.

Labor’s Driving the Nation policy was apparently written by an intern. It provides:

• ‘$39.3 million (matched by the NRMA) to deliver 117 fast charging stations on highways across Australia’; and
• ‘Hydrogen highways’
Apparently Hydrogen Highways are the Big Thing:

Good news.
Flood waters falling in Charlton on the Avoca.
Men worked all night on earth moving equipment to keep the water away from the town.
Reports of shallow water in parts of town but only very flood prone houses on the river were in trouble.
That was implied.
It’s automatically added to some credit card bills or there can also be an optional place to add a tip.
For small-scale services it is still wise to keep some low-denomination dollars in cash for tipping in hotels and on tours. People do expect tips, especially in the poorer areas and countries, as they form part of the wage structure. Keep tipping, it’s only fair.
We took a tour today into the mountains that surround Puerto Vallarta, our first port of call in Mexico. The visit was along a very rough and precipitous dirt mountain road, ending in a rather lovely deep forested gully beside a white-water river where an old ranch had been turned into a luxury resort. We were a small group of eight.
The pool in the heat was to die for; very blue in an elegant Roman-style, with water spouts all along it, which we swam in after lounging in swampy thermal waters under a jungle canopy further in the hills. The area is a wilderness, containing lynx, bobcats, puma, armadillo and many other animals and birds. In the village before the climb up we’d picked up a man who was walking the track up to serve as a waiter. It was stinking hot and humid. Regarding tips, we left $20 tips there because we felt these people deserved a bit of largesse once we’d seen their journey to work. We gave it in US cash dollars, and to the driver too who kept us from going over the edge. Hairy had seen me clutching the seat in terror as I was on the drop side and he felt the driver did well to ignore my not-quite silent wails, for my seat was at the front and my faint gasps of horror were obviously heard.
We’d already seen the old town on our visit in 2020. At that time we’d taken the Elizabeth Taylor/Richard Burton walking tour, visiting the homes where these two first started their romance, while further up the street Richard Burton’s first wife was left to foment in misery alone.
One interesting thing the tour guide told us (he also earned his tip) as we drove through some very poor villages where there was rubbish and a general air of dereliction and decay, was that in earlier times the villages all had bandstands and a central square (we passed by one like that) always opposite the church. Young men from distant but known villages at a certain time of year would visit to walk clockwise around the bandstand while an inner circle of young women walked anti-clockwise, as the young aspirants inspected each other as possible marital partners. A girl had to drop her handkerchief beside a young man she would like to speak with later. (I gathered that some young girls took several handkerchiefs!). These customs have now all died out as village life has disintegrated under modernity. A lot has been lost.
Ooh, look, free copper scrap! Where’re my wire cutters?

I need these things spelt out.
We’ve just had another sunset sail-out and glad to see it happen too, for in March 2020 it was at Puerto Vallarta that we were dumped without warning from this same cruise to fend for ourselves in Mexico as the whole world closed down for Covid.
Will now read back-thread to see what’s been happening in Oz and on the Cat. Internet is flakey here.
And Vic MSM is wall to wall flood porn …. people being rescued from knee deep water by SES inflatables and ‘worst floods in 70 years …. more proof of klimate change’

1) If there were worse floods 70 years ago, what caused them?
2) Didn’t Flanners say there would never be enough rain to fill a dam again?
I’ve seen very little of the previous enthusiasm for Dan in recent weeks. Maybe the Labor Party realises he is so on the nose that they will campaign the election without him, as much as is possible.

This won’t change until Conservatives in the Anglosphere actually understand where their constituency largely sits on the political compass and eschews the siren song of the elite to perform the task of preventing any reversal of liberal gains.

There are a lot of Republicans on this cruise, not surprising due to the demographic of older and spending it, and when we start talking to people the anger at what is happening in the US is palpable.
One woman today said to me she didn’t like Donald Trump ‘as a person’ but she sure as hell developed a liking now for ‘his polices and the way he got things done’. She and her husband both thought the 2020 election was rigged. However that’s just one demographic, and people express plenty of concern for the hand-out mentality of many younger Americans now. There’s a terrible sadness in these older generations about it and the decline of their country.
Rather as many of us in Australia also feel, we told them.
Discussion started with this woman and her husband when Hairy mentioned we’d had two years in Australia with no immigrants. We can give you a few, the woman dourly commented.
Sorry.
Just looked up Martin Armstrong.
Yep.
Ponzi.
Not a Madoff level scheme but pretty big.
Nothing surer. Albo’s in trouble. Mind you, most of the hive are still hair shirt, deep Green, inner suburban hypocrites – like their audience.
No food is wasted here, regardless of circumstances. Like others up thread, I was brought up on stories of war time privation and warned that it could happen again.
Saving up the house deposit and subsequently paying the mortgage off in record time was good training. I have a vast range of delicious recipes that make a little go a long, long way. I can still remember my mother making up the shopping list and crossing items off to get the thing to match the money in her purse, and I have done the same. Unfortunately the younger generations will have to learn the hard way.
Oh, and I haven’t been looking at canines hungrily. Not even the sausage dergs. I draw the line.
Children are indelibly imprinted by their environment, the recently departed QE2 for example spent her life turning lights off (she was a teenager in London during the blitz).
And what are our children being imprinted with?
-Fear of disease- anyone you pass could kill you
– Suspicion of those who wont ‘do the right thing’ (wear masks etc)
– Fear the world is going to end/fry/flood
etc etc etc
One thing that is very obvious indeed is the delight that the cruise stateroom attendants and waiters at table have in being back literally on deck. The years of Covid No-Cruise have been very hard on them and their often dependent families. They are all smiles and genuine happiness at being ‘in service’ once more. Hairy notes, and I concur, that cruising gets a few brickbats, especially from those going on about cheaper third world labour that makes the industry competitive, but cruising is nevertheless a major industry providing a reasonable standard of employment that all up produces a genuine and well-earned wealth transfer from richer nations to poorer ones. It also has spinoffs that are cultural, increasing understandings between different peoples.
The father of one of our waiters died when the ship was docked in San Diego. As a long-term employee, Holland America line sent him back home with his fare immediately paid.
Holland America ships, by the way, have a lot of Dutch decorative arts around the various decks. Some are very old and valuable antiques; others more modern take offs, and some of it is newly commissioned art. This makes the cruise experience more interesting and less flashy, imho anyway.
western de-industrialisation, cui bono?
Grandma would tell us about her uncles (who both served in France in WWI, were gassed and never regained their health; I suppose they were on pensions) shooting rabbits in the Great Depression. Made me think twice before complaining about my mum’s tuna bake!

Levin on Fox has Bibi Netanyahu today. Very interesting – I’ve read the book about his brother –Yoni, Hero of Entebbe. But if I knew I’d forgotten that Bibi was in the squad that re-took the hijacked Sabena Airlines plane at Tel Aviv. Yoni was ordered by Barak to stand back that time.
Excellent.
