Brough is superior.
Just trying to imagine what I’d do if I caught a vandal in the middle of vandalising. Too short to crash tackle them, too wary of litigation to ferrule them with the brolly. And mean words wouldn’t stop them.
Probably best to alert security with a shout of “Fire!”.
Coming to a State/City near you…
Portland’s new charter could declare it sits on stolen land
It reads, in part, “Portland is located in the unceded territory of the Aucocisco Band of the Wabanaki … European colonizers displaced Wabanaki people by force and went on to displace and harm indigenous peoples throughout what is now Maine and the United States.”
It goes on to say, “We acknowledge that displacement and that harm with sorrow, even as we celebrate and honor the Wabanaki knowledge and culture that continue to thrive in the Tribal Nations that have and always will call this place, the Dawnland, their home.”
Jolly good, but it makes you wonder how we ever managed with just a map and a compass.
Fits. Face masks are unhelpful for facial recognition software.
Exactly Calli, I’d call security but would be very reluctant to tackle vandals.
Burquas and niqabs okay.
The only people I saw wearing face nappies over two months ago were foreigners, and definitely not all of them. The locals…meh.
““Yes it is a danger because I think he is toxic and obnoxious, they’re all about saying and celebrating everything that’s wrong in the world, and they’re trying to make it worse.” (Community Action of Rainbow Rights member) Mr Readford said.”
When you do a google search of “Owen Marsden-Readford” (the double barrelled surname is a clue), it has him attending Arden Anglican School, located on Sydney’s leafy North Shore. So clearly Marsden-Readford didn’t grow up in suburbs like Macquarie Fields, or Bankstown, or Mt Druitt or even Parramatta.
Marsden-Readford was also behind the CPAC protest, I recall him on the Sunday morning being talked to by the police. Given Marsden-Readford’s privileged background, it confirms what I said when I confronted the two young zombies putting up posters five days before the CPAC event here on Oxford Street, I confronted them, tore down the posters and I pointed at them and said that “come the revolution, middle class scum like you will be dealt with”. Their reaction? They run a mile because they’re cowards, and Marsden-Readford is no different.
You see, that’s how you deal with the likes of scum like Marsden-Readford.

Full face coverings were de rigueur there long before covid.
Netball boss takes a brutal swipe at players after Gina Rinehart terminated $15MILLION sponsorship deal with over racism scandal: ‘Money does not grow on trees’

. Concern over Hancock Prospecting logo raised in support of Aboriginal player
. Donnell Wallam objected to logo due to racist comments made by Lang Hancock
. Mining company announced on Saturday they would be terminating the deal

Imagine, if you would, that formidable mob of old bulls and heifers just saying “Fuck this for a lark”, and just pushing through the barriers.
What would happen?
Beecroft and Epping. Definitely didn’t take the school motto to heart – “In God My Joy”.
I know the primary school…well. 🙂
The heavily armed Dutch version of the AFP would shoot them.
Immigration is a b*tch, but lead poisoning is worse.
Dubai was always a nightmare pre covid.
Never enough lanes open, no orderly queues, still no-one ever took on security.
The dangerous ones aren’t women. As I said I think the Gulf States security services will be on edge for the next few months. Covid stuff is a convenient excuse for a lot of stuff they’d want to do, without generating as much pushback as might otherwise happen.

Joe Biden gets lost in his own garden: More worrying footage shows president ask ‘where do we go?’ and look confused after tree planting event for White House groundskeeper

. Biden and First Lady Jill Biden planted an elm tree in honor of Dale Haney, the chief White House groundskeeper who marked 50 years on the job
. Footage posted on Twitter showed the president being turned around after he was going the wrong way on the White House grounds
. It’s just one of several awkward moments Biden has had in the past few months, some of which have called his declining health into question
. Last week, the president struggled to get off stage after his speech in Pittsburgh
. In September, Biden was seen wandering about the UN stage after a speech and in August, he struggled to put on his coat and his wife had to help him
Comments not Kind
– I can’t believe the entire country watches the Demonrat Party commit elder abuse on a daily basis and we don’t do anything about it. We need our vibrant healthy President Trump back in office.
– He must be removed from office. This is outrageous

Mundine, was is and always will be! A fuckwit.
I used to hate Singapore too, far more orderly than Dubai but the gun toting military were intimidating.
Have to laugh!
Optus stadium will only be half full (or is that half empty) for Australia’s cricket clash against Sri Lanka tonight.
Most people ringing into talkback cited: Langer sacking, Cummins wokeness and several (including myself) said they now go for anyone but Australia!!! 😛
I went through Dubai airport in the early 90s before much of the development really took off. No lanes through passport clearance you just crowded around the desk and waved your passport in the air. Fortunately the Arabs are pretty racist so a whitey got ahead of the Africans and Asians. No complaints from me.

Rosie,
you know, I never noticed them in Singapore or Dubai
In Dubai, have only ever been transit and do priority security then up to Emirates 1st Class Lounge which is really peaceful, only problem is as travelling – Economy, lift down to flight stops at A380 upper level 1st & Business, and have to go down stairs to Economy Loading
Coming back through Dubai usually arriving from Europe around 1100, have taken to taking Airport Hotel for a great sleep – most comfortable beds, then up 1 floor to 1st Class Lounge for Breakfast and 1030 Flight Y to OZ
I didn’t mind Singapore. Gun toting security aren’t really an issue unless there is a real probability they will actually shoot you. Likewise 50 machine gun toting gendarmes when you are enjoying your morning croissant.

I think I was thinking of that Australian Vietnamese man who got caught with drugs transiting Singapore and was executed around the time we were passing through one year. Drugs were intended for Australia and here he would have spent a few years in prison.
Gun toting military everywhere in France were actually a welcome sight, much better than a furious muslim v Frenchman confrontation a few inches from you cafe au lait.

You know what, I reckon it’s going to be about how they’re going to take “special care” of ballot boxes.

The DoJ/Biden Crime Syndicate are going to blame the Kleptocrapts biggest loss in US electoral history on election hackings… And they’ll throw Trump in there somehow too (perhaps by paying another person a million bucks to Make Shit Up Again.

Worst I have seen is Heathrow. Policewoman flicking the safety on and off on her MP5 while chatting with fellow officers.
Kinshasa is also not great, visa on arrival they make a point of giving you a look up the wrong end of an AK-47 before taking you off to a side room.

Nice hotel, sleeping in and having a swim?

And another reason why I like to arrive in Rome, after the long leg to Dubai the approximately six hours to Rome is a piece of cake.

Tonight I attended a wonderful talk at the Centre of Independent Studies. I will write a post on that later. Nick Cater was there and I decided to have a chat with him about the state of the Liberal Party. I asked Nick about the SMH piece by Brandis the Bigot. He said he hadn’t read the piece. We continued to talk and he started saying that “we need to look forward”. I responded, “that’s all very well Nick but first the Liberal Party needs to learn the lessons of the past nine years”. He then said “Morrison is no longer PM, it’s all in the past”. I was left flummoxed and I said “I know Nick but if we don’t learn from the past then the party is bound to make the same mistakes”. I asked him “where are the conservatives in the party?” He said that the Party is a broad church. I said “yes, but to be a broad church it needs to have some moderates and conservatives and yet Turnbull and Morrison purged the conservatives. He then asked me if I liked Dutton and I said I did like him but he referred to CPAC attendees such as myself as “extreme right”. Nick said that wasn’t true and I said YES IT WAS. I then said “Dutton better say no to the Voice”. Cater didn’t answer.
They haven’t got a clue. They still huddle around little johnnie’s broad fucking church, manners and a pip, pip approach to dealing with the left as the left wheels out the machine guns. As has been noted there are very few left in the lnp who can be relied upon: Antic, Rennick, Canavan, Chandler; there are none in the liars/filth. Then there is PHON and a few independents. Politically Australia is stuffed.
Expert speaking about Xi and his congress from a few days ago is actually talking about Biden???
The other thing I didn’t understand from the CCP congress was why everyone had masks on, except all of those in the front row. Why’s that? Cos, science?

Another example of why I have been warning people about the potential dangers of anticholinergic drugs. Tricyclic antidepressants can have an anticholinergic effect. Mirtazapine is one such drug and is a potent anticholinergic. It is also prescribed for older people as a sleep aid. The general advice these days, in the literature at least though probably not yet in the clinic, is that older people (>55 years), should if possible avoid anticholinergics.

Yeah, I’ve heard that; but if push comes to shove is he going to be like Antic or Rennick and do it publicly and aggressively. Even Canavan isn’t mincing words anymore and he used to be circumspect. And what has happened to big Pete; little simon in his ear?

Be very careful of McGrath. He was the Turd’s hit man in QLD and is a power broker (UK trained). His protestations regarding the Moderates do not ring true.
It was McGrath who lowered the boom on my branch after the coup.
