https://www.theguardian.com/books/2023/mar/26/agatha-christie-novels-reworked-to-remove-potentially-offensive-language
Several Agatha Christie novels have been edited to remove potentially offensive language, including insults and references to ethnicity.
Poirot and Miss Marple mysteries written between 1920 and 1976 have had passages reworked or removed in new editions published by HarperCollins to strip them of language and descriptions that modern audiences find offensive, especially those involving the characters Christie’s protagonists encounter outside the UK.
Sensitivity readers had made the edits, which were evident in digital versions of the new editions, including the entire Miss Marple run and selected Poirot novels set to be released or that have been released since 2020, the Telegraph reported.

Anthony Albanese welcomes former US president Barack Obama to Sydney
Anthony Albanese has welcomed Barack Obama to Sydney as the former US president kicks off his Australian speaking tour.
Anthony Albanese has welcomed Barack Obama to Sydney after the former US president touched down to begin his Australian speaking tour.
The Prime Minister hosted Mr Obama at Kirribilli House on Monday morning, where the two leaders posed for photographs grinning and holding black umbrellas against a backdrop of a rainy Sydney Harbour.
“Honoured to welcome President Barack Obama to Sydney,” Mr Albanese said on Twitter.
The 44th president of the United States and his wife Michelle landed in Sydney overnight after travelling via private jet.
Mr Obama has speaking events in Sydney and Melbourne on Tuesday and Wednesday evening respectively.
He will discuss global challenges with moderator and former Australian foreign minister Julie Bishop.
The Growth Faculty, which organised the tour, has said on its website Mr Obama and Ms Bishop will discuss “strength in leadership” and “explore techniques for navigating an unpredictable future”.
“In times of great challenge and change, President Obama’s leadership ushered in a stronger economy, a more equal society, a nation more secure at home and more respected around the world,” the event description reads.
The price of the tickets ranged from $195 for a standard seat to nearly $900 for a “platinum” booking.

Staggering archaeological find in Egypt exposes cult
Researchers have uncovered thousands of ancient mummified sheep heads in a part of southern Egypt, indicating the presence of a cult.
Archaeologists in Egypt have discovered more than 2000 ancient mummified sheep heads left as offerings in a temple to the pharaoh Ramses II, the tourism and antiquities ministry said Sunday.
Mummies of dogs, goats, cows, gazelles and mongooses were also exhumed by a team of US archaeologists from New York University at Abydos, a site in southern Egypt famous for its temples and tombs.
Sameh Iskandar, head of the American mission, said the ram heads were “offerings” indicating “a cult to Ramses II celebrated 1000 years after his death”.

CL – the LDP et al, are derivates of The Sydney Push in the 50’s/60’s where you can do whomever or whatever you like whenever you like (and I believe that would include a beagle cos “freedom”).
Without specifically making a DOMA like amendment that specious argument can always be made but I doubt mere legislation would pass muster with the absurd examples you can think of. You’re also appealing to elite progressive judges with a veneer of respectability.
Please stop fantasising about other people’s non existent deviancies.

For the third day in a row, this thing is desperately trying to draw me into one of its retarded and nasty little stoushes. It will fail because I live, rent-free in its diseased head. It’s a gormles twat in need of medical intervention.
On Saturday night some Lib female claiming a win in her North electorate was crowing how she worked hard and therefore won, on top of being a mother of small children. She preened how women can do everything. It made me wonder whether she paid the nanny out of her salary or were we paying for it.
It also made me think that if she really loved her children and didn’t need to work to put food on the table and a roof over their heads she would have spent the early, formative years with them. Once they were older she could have indulged her ambitions. I never regretted being at home with my kids when they were little but the trade off was that we only had one smallish car and took modest holidays.

Tom,
it’s happening in WA too. The SFLs 2021 election campaign was way left of the Greens. More recently, they’ve “defrocked” Nick Goiran of his shadow portfolio because of his conservatism. His nemesis, Peter Collier (of the “progressive” SFL bent) has had no such humiliation.
For Eastern Cats that don’t know, Goiran is an absolute stellar MP for conservatism. In 2019, in order to try and stop a surrogacy bill, he spoke for 12 hours straight… (theirABC and The Worst Australian hate him of course)….
Not a rebuttal. If you appeal to humanity, absense of consent, or the like you are appealing to aspects of marriage as it has been understood. The problem is why is the union of the sexes aspect able to be denied by legislation but the other aspects not? You nor anyone else have explained that apart from pleading that this or that objection is specious or absurd.

Secondly, international trade doesn’t work the way you think it does, you ignorant buffoon.
If there’s a letter of credit backing the shipment of a decent quantity of goods or raw materials a third party will always authenticate what has been purchased at the last port. No half decent importer would allow goods to go through without evidence what they are buying is what they paid for.
I’d bet those people raising issues were domestic producers without an ounce of evidence backing them up.
If you have no counter, then just stfu, you angry clown.
Which Countries Hold the Most U.S. Debt?
Today, America owes foreign investors of its national debt $7.3 trillion.
These are in the form of Treasury securities, some of the most liquid assets worldwide. Central banks use them for foreign exchange reserves and private investors flock to them during flights to safety thanks to their perceived low default risk.
Beyond these reasons, foreign investors may buy Treasuries as a store of value. They are often used as collateral during certain international trade transactions, or countries can use them to help manage exchange rate policy. For example, countries may buy Treasuries to protect their currency’s exchange rate from speculation.
In the above graphic, we show the foreign holders of the U.S. national debt using data from the U.S. Department of the Treasury.
Top Foreign Holders of U.S. Debt
With $1.1 trillion in Treasury holdings, Japan is the largest foreign holder of U.S. debt.
Japan surpassed China as the top holder in 2019 as China shed over $250 billion, or 30% of its holdings in four years.
This bond offloading by China is the one way the country can manage the yuan’s exchange rate. This is because if it sells dollars, it can buy the yuan when the currency falls. At the same time, China doesn’t solely use the dollar to manage its currency—it now uses a basket of currencies.
Here are the countries that hold the most U.S. debt:
I never said it was. I prefer a discussion, not a school debate.
In Australia explicitly and specifically because John Howard changed the law.
I have changed my mind on this. I think Taiwan got it right with civil unions, at least as a compromise.
I still think more religious people (but effectively anyone) should be able to specify that they want a fault based divorce and pre nuptial agreements.
I still think marriage shouldn’t be public law.
The criticism of that is that children are involved so it is existential and involves externalities. How well has Family Law actually worked? Has any conservative body like the ACL or even the Australian Catholic Church ever made a statement on what Family Law ought to entail? It is more than the Marriage Act. State law has detailed rules on property, succession and equity in general anyway.
Crossie:
I have several Frangipanis and one in particular is a pure white, tightly curled flower. Every six months or so, a mob of white cockatoos fly in and strip every flower and leaf off it.

Teresa Pirola, delivering the Catholic response, also gave the document her overall approval but stressed, “the absence of any mention of Jewish links to the land of their ancestors, a theological factor that is intrinsic to Jewish identity and covenant, is a concern. How is it that, in 2023, we Catholics can readily affirm the belonging that First Nations Australians experience for Land, yet ignore the Jewish sense of belonging to Land which is every bit as spiritual and historical, and millennia-long?”

Someone (calli?) said it happens when you “uptick your own posts” but it looks very random to me.
I’ve been considering m0nty’s accusation that the trans thing is the latest moral panic created by conservatives in a long stream of such issues. The assumption is that we need something to focus our innate bigotry on from time to time to give our lives meaning.
This can’t be further from the truth. Most of us mooch around our lives, earning an income to support our families and to pay our bills. We don’t have the leisure time to think up weird and wonderful diversions, and at the end of the day we tumble into bed exhausted. The trans issue has been foisted upon us, with outrageous demands not only of acceptance but outright promotion. This isn’t something that has been simmering under the surface for years. It’s a confected “crisis” designed to punish and wedge conservatives. Another divisive brickbat to hurl at people who want none of it.
The ones promoting child grooming and mutilation seem to think it’s a game, another sector on the progressive chocolate wheel. What will the next spin be? What new abomination will be vociferously promoted and eagerly forced upon an unwilling populace?
Pussotto is a dead man walking.
Not necessarily.
Moira Deeming has forced Liberal MPs to take sides on an issue so far to the margins it’s invisible.
She’ll pull another stunt within the 9 months and then Pesutto can sack her unopposed.
Agree with Real Deal above.
Lizzie is on fire today. Need a new version of the Me Too movement for pro women supporters (not anti trans) like Moira Deeming, Parker Posie and JK Rowling.
I couldn’t care less if the occasional fruitcake marries a beagle. Unless the beagle is traumatized by the event! Using such rare examples is fraught with peril. We may as well argue children should never be left alone with adults, especially adults held in high esteem because they are among the most frequent perpetrators of pedophilia. Weird behaviors are inevitable and are at the margins. It is not as if the occasional account of marrying a beagle will lead to a wave of bestiality. We can’t promote freedom and then demand that freedom be constrained by our moral imperatives. If no harm done let it be.
That was Winston, Dot. If you double click a post, it comes up zero. I had a bit of fun with Ed on Saturday night over it. I may be being unfair, but he (or someone else) was double clicking my posts so they came up “zero”.
A great diversion for me as it had been a horrible couple of days for reasons I won’t disclose here.
It only works on “virgin” comments. Once the approval meter starts, zero is a thing of the past.
Every day Ed gives us classics like this
“an issue so far to the margins it’s invisible”.
The story has gone international in a big way and Twitter exploded on this invisible issue.
And again, upping the level of abuse:-
There’ll be a fourth and a sixth day too every time you post nonsense here, you colossal dickhead, Let’s leave that to Dover to decide, you arrogant ‘tard. Unless, of course, he supports your abuse of contributors here.
When was the last time, I mentioned Lizzie? Go on. When was it? I recall people you regularly abused over the years and still do. It’s a long list.
Re. my comment re. Capilano. Do some basic research instead of going off half-cocked.

Hungary Not Sure if it Wants to Support Finland and Sweden Joining NATO While U.S. State Dept Tries to Overthrow Hungarian Government
March 26, 2023 – Sundance
One of many things to like about Hungary is their brutal honesty when it comes to the United States meddling in their domestic affairs. {Background}
Hungarian Foreign Minister Péter Szijjártó gave an interview recently where he said it is more challenging to support the NATO objective, when the United States is so committed to overthrowing the Hungarian government. He has a good point.
Hungary has been in the crosshairs of the Biden/Obama administration ever since Prime Minister Viktor Orban refused to align with the WEF Western Democracies in their quest for regime change in Russia. As the NATO led western alliance assembled to use Ukraine as a proxy war against Russia, Hungarian Prime Minister Orban would not join.
In early April 2022, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban was overwhelmingly reelected {LINK}, despite the massive efforts against him by the European Union, western and euro-centric multinational globalists.
As a result of the victory, Brussels was furious at the Hungarian people. Associated Press – […] “Orban — a fierce critic of immigration, LGBTQ rights and “EU bureaucrats” — has garnered the admiration of right-wing nationalists across Europe and North America.” (link)
Within the statements reported from his 2022 victory speech, Prime Minister Orban warned citizens of the NATO and western allied countries about the manipulation of Ukraine and how he views the Zelenskyy regime: […] “while speaking to supporters on Sunday, Orban singled out Zelenskyy as part of the “overwhelming force” that he said his party had struggled against in the election — “the left at home, the international left, the Brussels bureaucrats, the Soros empire with all its money, the international mainstream media, and in the end, even the Ukrainian president.” (link)
This put Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban in the crosshairs of the western alliance, specifically the EU and U.S. bureaucrats who use their power, position and intelligence apparatus to manipulate foreign nations.
A year later and now we see USAID Administrator Samantha Power in Hungary openly discussing her seeding of the NGO’s and political activist systems in order to generate yet another color revolution. {Direct Rumble Link} – WATCH:
Samantha Power, the wife of Cass Sunstein, is well known as the Obama/Biden administration’s advance operative who uses her position in U.S. government to influence activism in targeted nations. Hungary is now a target.
Of course.
Libertarians can have no logical objection to this.
It looks like John Ruddick LDP is listed at the moment as “likely elected”, so that is something.
The above women are not anti trans, they are protesting men in women’s and girls’ spaces. They are fiercely pro women supporters. They state the obvious fact that men in dresses are not women; it’s absurd that this actually needs to be said.
MEN IN MAKEUP AND DRESSES ARE NOT WOMEN! They have no right to access female toilets, change rooms, bathrooms and prisons.
Not that I’ve asked, but Dover appears to be a fair person, and he witnessed years and years of you jumping onto Liz pile-ons, so I guess he’d think it’s horses for courses or you should be the last one to bawl, you bitter and twisted intellectual runt.
I don’t recall the exact date you stopped joining pile-ons, but what I do recall is that I embarrassed the shit out of you for doing it and like an obedient, little gutless little twerp you stopped.
I don’t join pile-ons like a weak kneed piss-ant like you, dickhead. Also, I don’t appeal to the blog owner.
No, dickhead, you made the assertion so back it up that their imported raw material was tainted. If you can’t then remain silent (like you should everyday).
Lol, Angry Karen doesn’t appear to like it when the shoe is on the other foot. Now go publicly cry to Dover that I’ve been a meanie to you.
It cannot consent so how would you know?

I’m still waiting.

POSTED ON MARCH 26, 2023 BY JOHN HINDERAKER IN FBI, JANUARY 6
THE FBI AND THE PROUD BOYS
I haven’t followed the January 6 prosecutions as closely as I probably should have.
I thought it was obvious that the Capitol riot was the most overblown story of modern times. The idea that the protesters who entered the Capitol (mostly peacefully, as far as I could see, more or less invited in by Capitol guards) were mounting an “insurrection” was and is absurd, given that not a single one of them brought a firearm, and they made no attempt to harm anyone inside the Capitol. Some insurrection!
A big trial is now going on in Washington–the biggest, as I understand it, of the post-January 6 trials. Five Proud Boys are the defendants. Like Donald Trump, when asked about this group in a presidential debate, I don’t know a damn thing about the Proud Boys, except that, unlike Black Lives Matter and Antifa rioters, they have never burned down a big chunk of a city.
Julie Kelly has been following the trial, and you should read her report at American Greatness.
It turns out that there may have been more FBI agents than Proud Boys involved in the “plot” that has these defendants facing long prison terms:
Most of the evidence is nothing more than inflammatory, braggadocious chatter in group texts; [Proud Boy leader Enrique] Tarrio wasn’t even present at the Capitol on January 6. Another defendant, Ethan Nordean, can be seen on surveillance video walking through an open door as Capitol police stood nearby.
Similar to other so-called “militia” groups tied to January 6, no one brought weapons to the Capitol that day; no one was charged with assaulting police officers or lawmakers. A key piece of evidence that prosecutors claimed was a road map for the “attack” on the Capitol wasn’t produced by any Proud Boy but by a former intelligence asset who himself sent the plan to Tarrio through a third party.
The document represented just one more instance of how a government agent helped shape the government’s narrative that the Proud Boys plotted in advance to carry out an “insurrection” on January 6. In fact, much like the FBI-engineered plan to “kidnap” Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer in 2020, court proceedings confirm that FBI assets might outnumber criminal defendants.
It also turns out that one FBI informant stayed in touch with the Boys after the demonstration and even talked to their defense counsel while trial strategy was being planned. Only within the last few days have defendants and their lawyers been told that a woman whom they considered a friend and who participated, to some degree, in discussions of how the case should be defended, was in fact an FBI informer.
The government and the trial judge are maneuvering furiously to prevent the public from learning how deeply the FBI had penetrated the Proud Boys, and from learning what role FBI agents and informers played in the demonstration:
There is much more at the link. I won’t try to summarize it all here. Suffice it to say that the real scandal arising from the January 6 protest was not the fact that a handful of demonstrators broke into the Capitol, while many more were freely admitted by guards.
Rather, the principal scandal is the manner in which pro-Donald Trump demonstrators have been treated by law enforcement: held without trial in solitary confinement, ridiculously over-charged (e.g., insurrection vs. trespassing), forced to plead guilty to imaginary or over-hyped offenses by the prospect of long jail terms for offenses they never committed, and set up by FBI agents and informants loyal to the Democratic Party who, it seems, may have played key roles in encouraging the demonstration to get out of hand.
If the January 6 protesters had been treated the same as the BLM/Antifa rioters who did more than 100,000 times as much damage, and killed somewhere between 30 and 50 people, they would have been showered with tens of billions of dollars by corporate America as encouragement to keep it up. Instead, they were condemned to solitary confinement.
We may never know what really happened on January 6, 2021, particularly with regard to the involvement of federal agents and informers.
But one thing we can say for sure is that the FBI, in anything like its present form, has to go.

So C.L. remains correct. The challenge still remains unanswered.
No, he didn’t. All that amendment did was stop leftist and liberals pretending that the Marriage Act 1961 etc. was open to marriage as a union of the same sex when it had never been interpreted in such a manner, nor was their any inclination to do so, in the 20th Century.

Black Lives Matter Activists Executed A Shocking $83 Billion Shakedown Of American Corporations
The Black Lives Matter (BLM) riots of 2020 were the largest and most successful shakedown in American history. These “mostly peaceful protests” — which burned more than 200 American cities and wreaked more than $2 billion in damages — achieved more than anyone could have predicted: changes in laws, private sector policies, and perhaps most importantly, a historic transfer of wealth to racial and leftwing causes.
As a result, American corporations gave or pledged more than $83 billion to either BLM or BLM-related causes.
We created a database tracking contributions and pledges made to the BLM movement and related causes, which we define as organizations and initiatives that advance one or more aspects of BLM’s agenda, and which were made in the wake of the BLM riots of 2020. To date, our data spans more than 400 companies and $83 billion in pledges and contributions.
The famed consulting firm McKinsey and Company thinks the number is far larger. They calculated that from May 2020 to October 2022 companies pledged about $340 billion “to racial equity, specifically for Black Americans after the murder of George Floyd in May 2020.” Our number is conservative by comparison. But unlike McKinsey, we provide details about the pledges and contributions of specific companies.
We are surprised at some of the incredulity in our calculations. So too is BLM, which suggests that objections to wealth transfers of this scale are rooted in “white supremacy,” and “a pathology that Black organizations don’t deserve to be funded.”
BLM called for reparations. In a sense, they succeeded, as these reparations were paid out to BLM itself (approximately $122 million) and to its vast NGO archipelago and other racialized causes and schemes under various names.
While the money was given or pledged in different ways, it was unmistakable for so-called “racial justice.” Sometimes this meant cash transfers to partners of BLM, like the Color of Change, the NAACP, the Equal Justice Initiative, and the ACLU.
Sometimes it meant cash or pledges to other “reparative” initiatives including race-based, discriminatory hiring programs; race-based, sub-prime lending; race-based scholarships; and partisan voter initiatives. Sometimes it meant Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) initiatives, which are the polite versions of BLM calibrated to middle-class, middle-management tastes. The DEI ideology disagrees with BLM in few ways, if any.
DEI and BLM share one mission: to punish white America, through different means. The latter through riots and pressure campaigns, the former through preferential hiring and promotion of members of protected groups. Both aim to redistribute honor, privileges, and money to black Americans. Both are extorting special privileges and money by using white guilt.
Moreover, both are attempting to do so by cultural revolution, and both stand openly against meritocracy, the rule of law, freedom of speech, and individual rights. Correctly understood, DEI is an expression of BLM’s broader agenda.
We already know the exorbitant amount of money given or pledged by large banks like JPMorgan ($30 billion), Bank of America ($18 billion), and Silicon Valley Bank ($70 million) in the wake of the 2020 BLM riots to subsidized and sub-prime race-based lending, race-based investment targeting, supply chain diversity initiatives, and nonprofits advancing racial justice.
But BLM was so effective that even seemingly middle-America companies shelled out big.
For example, Cargill, the Minnesota-based food producer, launched its “Black Farmer Equity Initiative,” a redistributive program that attributes declining numbers of black farmers to “the legacy of systemic racism” and seeks to “dismantle Anti-Black racism” and “operationalize equity across the food and agriculture system.” Cargill pledged $11 billion to the initiative through 2030.
This is the dog challenge right?

Let’s leave that to Dover to decide, you arrogant ‘tard. Unless, of course, he supports your abuse of contributors here.
Oh, so you’d like to assert that Dover hadn’t and hasn’t noticed your barrage of abuse, insults etc. over the many years? I’m certain I remember him being on Sinc’s Cat. We can read and remember every occasion you have screamed to Dover you hypocritical twerp.
When was the last time, I mentioned Lizzie? Go on. When was it?
Oh – so you don’t recall. How very convenient – yet you raise it at every opportunity. No. You embarrass nobody but yourself and you certainly don’t embarrass me. As I stated some time ago, I own you, lock, stock and barrel and still do, Jerk.
I recall people you regularly abused over the years and still do. It’s a long list.
Ha, ha – that’s a bloody hilarious comment. You have appealed to the blog owner. Numerous times. You suffer from short memory syndrome, don’t you.
Re. my comment re. Capilano. Do some basic research instead of going off half-cocked.
Go googling, you lazy, ill-informed jerk-off. Try and prepare yourself properly before you contemplate taking me on.
You are one demented individual. Seek help before you explode, a/wipe.
Lol, Angry Karen doesn’t appear to like it when the shoe is on the other foot. Now go publicly cry to Dover that I’ve been a meanie to you.
“MEN IN MAKEUP AND DRESSES ARE NOT WOMEN!
They have no right to access female … prisons.”
… accessing female prisons.
LOL
Have there been any complaints from female murderers?
I doubt it.
Fentanyl!
I bet more kids sniff petrol than use Fentanyl (they’d OD almost certainly as it is slow release for heavy set adults). It’s just tiresome emotional crap.
We all know the war on drugs is counterproductive, it isn’t about being permissive. Society is safer without a hare brained moral crusade.
I recall Peter Hitchens talking about the Left’s (LDP) desire to decriminalise drugs because “the war on drugs” fails every time.
He quite aptly said he doesn’t personally have a problem with it because he lives in a castle with a great deal of security. But he felt bad for the most who would still have to live in the burbs with drug addled, violent zombies roaming the streets. And there’s enough of that already.
The one gold star I give to Marky McClown is he’s said categorically he wont legalise marijuana.
Dover, if you’re using the story that CL posted from the Daily Mail, then anyone can “marry” anything at any time. But that’s simply not true. You could have someone officiate the marriage with a litre of water, and it would have the same standing as the idiot marrying their dog. It’s not a legally recognized marriage, and others would take it seriously.
If someone wants to make a demented fool of themselves by pretending to marry their mutt or their pet rabbit, then why really care as you can’t stop such moronic behavior?
Do you Mrs. Beagle consent to marry Mr. Fruitcake?
Wags tail.
I now declare … .
The issue is difficult and often emotionally driven. For example, I find the idea of homosexual sex repulsive. Last night I was channel surfing and came across two transvestites on SBS. I decided on a little ad hoc observation. How often are they making sexual references? Happened all the time, nearly every discussion. I lasted less than 5 minutes. Bailed out when they mentioned anal bleaching.
BINGO: “The war on drugs” LPD zombie line gets trotted out!
Quelle surprise. **rolls eyes**
But that isn’t really the point. Set aside the fact that the linked story is a farce, there are at least two reasons to be opposed to beagle ‘marriage’, the bestial element, and the element that it degrades the idea of marriage by redefining it as a union between human beings and non-human animals. Claiming that so-and-so is ‘free to be a pillock’ is just avoiding the substance of the problem.
As the Chinese would say on dog marriage:
Ruff is Ruff. 😛
I’m bored with the rapid little puppy now.
No, still unanswered.
That is just not true, calli. Trans people have not forced you to do anything. They were struggling to live their lives as quietly as they could for decades before this current moral panic. Castor Semenya first appeared in 2009, this thing has been going on for a long time at a relatively low level before it became a big front in your culture wars.
The issue has been cynically whipped up in the short term by grifters like Posie Parker looking to make a quick buck before the wingnut wurlitzer moves on to the next tune. They sell you the brickbat and tell you to where to throw. Don’t buy it.
There is less street crime etc without the war on drugs. So ironically he does feel safer than the little people because of the dumb policies he supports.
The empirical data from Portugal and prohibition era America are very strongly against prohibition.
The war on drugs in America has gone for fifty years. It has gotten nowhere. It just punishes people who’d (perhaps wisely) rather not drink alcohol.
You cannot logically oppose vaccine mandates and marijuana prohibition.
You can make exceptions and caveats but you really can’t hold both positions.
I never tried to nudge anyone here to get vaccinated.
I could not care less whether anyone here did or didn’t. It’s, as I said repeatedly, a personal medical decision, that should not be influenced by the yayers or the nature.
And laughable to think that it would be worth anyone’s while seeking to nudge the tiny readership here to get vaccinated in order to meet government mandates numbers.
Yes sorry I said 2020 when I meant 2021.
I’m also sorry your memory of my opinions is so selective and biased.
These few tragic pfizer deaths of course are strongly suggestive that adverse reactions occur immediately after vaccination, not some sinister lurking monster pouncing many months or years after vaccination.
How about those young Canadian doctors?
Women are not losing their rights. I happen to agree with swimming and athletics when they banned trans people who went through male puberty from competing in women’s competition, and that means no women’s rights are being trampled there.
If you start faffing on about toilets, that’s just stupid. There’s nothing to stop cis men or anyone else with a penis from entering women’s toilets to assault women. Cis men do this regularly as it is. This is really a non-issue with no application to real world situations except to make trans people feel bad. Which is what you’re really on about, isn’t it? You want trans people to feel ostracised and unwanted.
I treat that bigoted attitude with the contempt it deserves.
Dot, we’re never going to agree, period (and we’ve been over this before).

On my morning walk today I passed a poster, half hidden by a bush. Out of curiosity, I moved the bush so I could see it.
There was some epicene character of indeterminate sex, looking gormless. It was inviting you to join the navy.
I let the bush go to cover it up.
I’m damned if I’d go down in a submarine with that thing.
Okay. If they have undergone sex reassignment surgery I will respect a transgendered pronoun.
I don’t have to entertain them at all, let alone a gender neutral asexual silver grey foxkin with the pronoun “Kitsune” who I will simply ignore.
The war on drugs in the US seems to pause every time a Democrat isn’t facing an election.
Robert Sewell, I noticed the same thing with The Outsiders on Sky. Every Sunday morning there would be a technical problem of some sort. I wondered whether it was a hungover technician or whether it was deliberate. I must admit so far this season they have been problem free.
Castor is not trans.
She and a couple of other intersex athletes had an advantage over female athletes because of the presence of male characteristics.
Which was obvious to the casual observer.
You want women to give up being the best in their sports so intersex and trans can take all the prizes.

Sure, sure, opportunity counts for nothing in these situations. Nevertheless, the problem isn’t even limited to toilets, but includes women’s prison, women’s crisis centres, group counselling sessions, changerooms, and the like. If you’re going to pretend that there’s nothing stopping men from currently forcing their way into these spaces now, you’re just not being the least serious, only desperate for an hand-waving retort.

Pussotto is a dead man walking.

Moira Deeming has forced Liberal MPs to take sides on an issue so far to the margins it’s invisible.
Hmmmm. The right of women to have private spaces, away from exposed penises is “an issue so far to the margins it’s invisible”? Does this mean that you do not have (depending on your age) grandmothers, mother, wife, sisters, daughters, nieces, grand daughters or female friends? Or should we assume that you are just a moron?
People marry themselves, inanimate objects, virtual girls, pets, friends, trees, “nature” etc. There was a woman who married herself and divorced herself. Like I said, she’s free to be a foppish idiot.

So why for many may years was the rule of ‘no men in womens spaces’ in place Monty?
Without defining why something was in place how can you ejaculate that its removal is a good thing for ladies?
If you cant think of why the previous convention was in place then you are engaged in faith morality – unmoored by reality.
Munt gets nailed (and not in a good way). +1 Cassie! 🙂
Anyone noticed how lots of restaurants have uni-sex toilets now? I don’t know how sheilas don’t protest and personally I don’t blame trannies for wanting to use the ladies loos. That’s because male toilets are f..king disgusting. Urinals or regular bowl there’s freaking urine dribble all around and you can’t take a proper slash most times without getting your shoes wet with filthy urine from others.
“Castor Semenya first appeared in 2009, this thing has been going on for a long time at a relatively low level before it became a big front in your culture wars.”
No pervert apologist. Castor Semenya is not “trans”.
Castor is intersex, a condition that bears no relationship whatsoever to trannies, perverts and men who simply “identify” as women.
You really are a moron.
Normal people: “we want to hear solutions and policies to address our cost of living pressures”

“we don’t deny children access to medical interventions like chemotherapy or amputation in cases of gangrene or the like simply because they are children. “
Show me the child who is “confirmed” in:
* their desire to be thinner, even when grossly underweight (anorexic)
* their desire to have a perfectly healthy arm/hand/leg/foot removed because it doesn’t “feel right” (“body disphoria”)
You can’t because we DON’T DO THIS! We provide psychological counseling because such actions as above would dangerous to the individual and/or are permanent and life altering. A minor does not have a sufficiently mature brain to make such choices, and they will most likely “grow out of it”.
I know plenty of women who are happily married and have children, yet were certainly “tom-boys” when younger. There is nothing wrong with this – it is a normal part of the “spectrum” for a woman to experience, some to a greater degree, some to a lesser. Without exception, those I know like this have ended up very happy with their life, despite not expecting to have what they got, and despite not fitting the preferred “mold” of being a (young) woman. They accepted their lot and got on with life – and are without exception very glad they did.
If those who have reached their majority wish to have plastic surgery, and are prepared to pay for it, they can have it – face lift or sex change makes no difference to me; they pay for it, they can have it and they can pay for the consequences of it too.
However, to give irreversible surgery or body altering drugs to a minor because they “feel like” it is very wrong – most especially when it usually results in lifelong sterility or other issues! Frankly, even adults who want such surgery should be OBLIGED to go through a long and arduous process in order to get it if you ask me.

Sydney Morning Herald.
I think the prime minister should call a spade a spade over Dutton’s politicking on the Voice. The PM should say the leader of the opposition is becoming increasingly irrelevant and the Australian people will make their own decision on the referendum and the LNP in this matter.
By constantly commenting on Dutton’s requests for more information the PM is just giving him airtime. Time to call this out: Dutton’s position is irrelevant to the will of the Australian people. This is not the ALP’s referendum or even the government’s referendum, it is a referendum sponsored by the people.

Biological women prisoners have been raped and impregnated by male criminals who, on being convicted, claimed that they’re suddenly female. How’s that for an ‘LOL’.
In years to come, historians will be astonished to find that, in the early decades of the third millennium, legislators, teachers, doctors – in fact, a significant percentage of the population – suffered a mass psychogenic illness event which saw science, evidence and truth over-ruled by feelings. They will marvel at the stupidity and the depth of depravity condoned and encouraged by politicians and the judiciary of the times. They will wonder how a mighty civilisation could have become so morally corrupt.
Just as I used to wonder how Sodom and Gomorrah could have become so evil that God wiped them from the face of the Earth.

Stupid comment.
They are attempting to force Calli (and others) to accept the principle that men who claim to identify as women must be permitted to use what used to be exclusively women’s facilities – toilets, change rooms. They are trying to enforce the principle that such people can display their genitals and parade around naked in front of not just them, but their young daughters or granddaughters.
Try to think before typing. Or even at all.
No for John. It is clear the dog cannot consent.
That is just not true, calli. Trans people have not forced you to do anything.
You’re a dickless liar dickless. Examples of trannies gyrating in front of kids, bashing the crap out of female sports competitors, loitering in change rooms and raping female prisoners after they get transferred to female prisons are rife. Then there is the attack on fundamental values like the meaning of woman, man and the assault on the family unit.

Cassie of Sydney:
Cassie, I do – especially when it’s the person who would ban my free speech. If you have a policy of banning peoples speech because you don’t like it, then realistically you cannot complain when they enact the very same policy against you.
To do otherwise is to allow them free kicks and that’s exactly what Monty does repeatedly to this blog.
He demands we tolerate that which he finds intolerable.
I don’t know anyone who hates trannies. We feel sad for their mental illness, and we put up with their weird behaviour. Where we draw the line is any attempt to coopt children.
The Romans put up with the worship of Cybele, basically the same mental illness in a different social environment. Again, they weren’t permitted to coopt children.
The claim that recognising that these ppl are deranged and saying so is hate speech is simply wrong. Quite the contrary. It’s far kinder than supporting their delusion.
“Trans people have not forced you to do anything. “
How long do you think before we are like Canada – where “dead naming” or refusing to use a “preferred pronoun” is a criminal offense?
They can REQUEST me to use their new name/pronoun, and frankly if they ask, it makes no odds to me, so why not?
But if they tell me I MUST, that is compelled speech – and that I will not tolerate.
Not because of this specific circumstance – although any circumstance is bad enough – but because once we start down that path, we are agreeing that the government can control what I say and punish me for saying the “wrong” thing.
Not talking about lying to create a bank run or a stampede, or destroying someones good name, but what I can call you? Go to hell – if I want to call you a cross-dressing moron, I will. Justified in your eyes or not, I don’t care. If I have slandered you, then by all means take me to court for a civil tort. But as a criminal offense? No effing way!
My preferred pronoun is “Your Highness”, but that doesn’t mean I can force you to use it, does it? And yes, I do have links to the British monarchy, like no doubt many millions of others do too. Hardly close, but so what – I am related, it’s real, use my preferred pronoun or you’re a BIGOT and you might cause me to commit suicide if you won’t call me it! This is the sort of garbage they are pushing. “He called me a nasty name! Boo hoo! I’ll hold my breath until my face turns blue.” Good – do it!

It took less than a month for Sharri Markson’s new 5pm hour on Sky News to draw level in the ratings with the host she replaced, Chris Kenny, who has moved to the 8pm hour, and Paul Murray, who follows Kenny at 9pm.
So Markson’s show – the only hour at Sky News devoted to breaking news stories – is becoming Sky’s No.3 show in the ratings behind Blot and Credlin.
This is an interesting test for the idea of breaking news on a show that, until now under Kenny, was simply an opinion show rehashing the news of the day.
I predict that, within a year, Markson’s show will be breaking new ground and challenging Blot and Credin’s dominance of Sky’s evening ratings.

As for the ‘victim’ Aboriginal woman in Darwin who was not only evicted but barred from re-applying for public housing for a few years, we are not talking about failure to pay rent, or letting the grass grow too long. We are talking about trashing the property, neighbours being threatened and harassed, loud and frequent fights, all night parties on a regular basis – to name a few of the likely causes. A family member lived next to a crowd who did all of this and didn’t get evicted (in NSW). Hand-patters turned up in droves, while my family member let the frightened and tired children sleep on her couch and gave them breakfast.
WRT the ‘father’ of the guy who murdered the bottle shop attendant, he said that the kid was hungry and deprived throughout his childhood. So, where were you, champ? His mother was allegedly a hopeless pisswreck, and you did … what?
Why, you came out of the woodwork when it was too late and blamed ‘racism’ – and that you left a knife lying around.
Easy to see why this kid was another example of a ‘culture’ that takes no responsibility for its children.
None of them actually married, dot. You’re own attempt to call them ‘sad buggers’ relies on the fact that they could never actually be married to “themselves, inanimate objects, virtual girls, pets, friends, trees, “nature” etc.’ because it would be ridiculous.

cock-frockers and their deluded supporters want their confected ‘safety’ to come at the expense of everybody else’s safety
it’s pretty f’kn sinister
… and anything except ‘positive’
If you work in the corporate sector and ‘misgender’ someone cosplaying a fe/male you will be disciplined or lose your job.
That’s not my conundrum. I’m not sure if you needed to restate what I said in more words, either.
The invisible hand of the market!
Ah, I remember when the Cat used to care about that.
According to Monty you can’t hate anybody.
Well, except for Christians, the unvaccinated, people who work hard, people with families, people who think for themselves, white people and any person of colour that isn’t a communist.
But rapists (as long as they’re commies), pedophiles (as long as they’re commies), serial killers (commies), are all wonderful and heaven forfend we say anything mean to them.
No. It is bullying from WGEA, the ADC, subsidies and contracts linked to departmental policy made below cabinet level.
It is also a pejorative, the boring old plain vanilla men.

Manners in the presence of females is the province of the civilized.
With that we’ll leave you to reflect upon why you advocate those who may engage with her to conduct themselves as trash.
Ponytail directives are “the invisible hand of the market” in the same fashion that avoiding making purchases at Jewish operated businesses was “the invisible hand of the market”.
…. and both are advocated by exactly the same type of people.

These are women balls. SFW but disturbing.

Tranny, black, muslim. Millennial rock paper scissors.
If it wasn’t, the ‘sad buggers’ wouldn’t make sense.
If a bloke wants to “marry” his beagle, I’m ok with that. Same as free speech for antisemites. I don’t buy into the belief systems of either, but it tells us who the loonies are.
Why is it hateful or bigoted to want women’s spaces (loos, change rooms) reserved for women? And women only? This was once such a reasonable “given” that no one thought about it much at all. It is now some sort of pathetic progressive battleground.
Bizarre doesn’t begin to describe it.
First it was ‘trans people haven’t forced anything on you’, now its ‘you’re just being forced by the ‘invisible hand of the market! Sorry not sorry’.
Bold of you to assume I can support civil unions for gays but can’t think “marrying yourself” is dumb, and I have some moral obligation to stop people from doing something dumb.
You betcha!
When I turn up for work in the corporate sector appearing in my new ID, having ‘transitioned’ during the night, & appear in my new identity, expressed via boot-polished blackface, striped trousers, red waistcoat, & frizzy afro hair, I expect not one word to be said.
…. except to discipline or fire anyone who doesn’t act like I’m the normal & well adjusted one.
Say “Transwomen are Women” to yourself. Say it six times and it becomes true. Well known fact.
1. Disabled, indigenous, MtF trans, muslim
2. Disabled, indigenous, FtM trans, muslim
3 etc.
Biological women prisoners have been raped and impregnated by male criminals …
Sources required for that claim.
Otherwise, you’re lying …
Make it interesting crotchless: place a bet: say 2 pair of your ermine, jewel encrusted crotchless, non-chafe panties.
“You didn’t give a crap about women’s spaces back then and you don’t give a crap about it now. You just want to spread hatred for trans people. You’re not even being subtle about it. You don’t deserve to be argued with in good faith.”
The issue is SUPPOSED to be about EQUALITY.
But it has always and ever been about getting the “weaker” ones to have their own way, while denying the same to the “stronger” ones – whether that be race, sex or sexuality.
To whit:
* we must all celebrate “International Womens Day”, but there is hardly anyone who even notices “International Mens Day” (Nov 17 this year, in case you didn’t know);
* we must have “pride month” for LGBQWERTY people, but no mention of “Straight Pride Marches” for even a single day, let alone a month of celebrating the 90+%;
* you can, apparently, discriminate against a person for their race, but ONLY if that person is part of the majority;
* you can’t disparage or denigrate a minority, even where they have done it to you, and even where they clearly deserve it, but there is no excuse required to denigrate the majority.
This is total crap – I thought we were supposed to all be equal before the law? That is all I ask, and I am happy to give it as well. But the perverts, weirdos and racist “victims” are not prepared to give it to me. So screw them.
You know how hard it is to watch what is clearly a man walk into a women’s change room and NOT drag them out? You know how depressing it is to know that despite most likely being cheered by the legitimate patrons of that space, I am likely to be arrested and fined or even gaoled for doing it? I can recall the time where not only would I be cheered for doing this, I would have been able to snot the offender and not face any charges for it – more like others would have joined in, including the police!
So no, M0nty, they don’t get an exception in my book. If they have the cut and get turned from an “outie” to an “innie”, then they can go in there, but not before. And regardless of said “cut”, you don’t get to compete against real women in sport – as a male, you have a higher centre of gravity, more muscle mass, higher bone density and more fast-twitch muscle fibre, as well as being statistically taller and heavier. You think this isn’t a real thing? Try this: stand up straight with your back against the wall, then touch your toes. A man cannot do this without falling over, a woman has no problem doing it and won’t fall over. We are different, and no amount of hormones after puberty changes that.
You can have all the plastic surgery you want and can afford to pay for, as well as take all the drugs you want, some things are set at a certain point in development and cannot be changed. We created womens sports in recognition that men are generally taller, faster and stronger as a part of their physiology, this putting women on an unequal footing against them. I have no issue with that. I have the issue where a person who has the advantages of being male gets to compete against those who do not – that’s called “cheating” if you ask me.
“Bizarre doesn’t begin to describe it.”
It’s worse than sinister, it’s creepy. Almost all of these males are fetishists, perverts and autogynephiles, males who get sexually aroused imagining themselves as women, who get sexually aroused putting on women’s clothes, particularly underwear, and who get sexually aroused in women’s private spaces where there are women and children about.
Such men are very dangerous.
Had a gander over at the Discord Cat Collectives..
The Nilk and Zippster-initiated channels are basically defunct, unused, bereft of sentient life.
Dover’s channel still stands, but with low traffic, when compared to this.
The Circle of Life.
In Kiwi Land for a few weeks…so which country is the most woke?
I would think NZ, but on flying down to Melbourne via Virgin of course we got the acknowledgement or whatever it’s called of being on aboriginal land.
But then again, nothing at all at landing in Queenstown, where they were giving away free date-expired RATs tests in a box on the way out of the airport.
I shall keep score.
I beg to differ. I cared so much about “women’s spaces” that I shelled out a shed load to have my daughters educated in a girls’ school. I had no intention of having them used to “socialise” unruly boys.
And now I have two grand daughters. I do not want them worrying about some random pervert invading a loo or change room. They can do that right now, of course, but then right now they would be regarded as a pervert and suffer the righteous consequences. You want me to think of them as something else because they decided to be a “woman” today. No dice.
“Dover’s channel still stands, but with low traffic, when compared to this.”
I think you mean “Adam’s channel”!
