I saw this interesting and relevant article today:
China and Russia’s Air Forces Exposed in Actual Combat (27 Oct, via Instapundit)
It makes sense, since the Chinese only very recently commenced building fighter jet engines. Prior to that they were buying them from Russia. There’s only so much you can do as a fast follower, some techniques you have to build the right culture to do.

The ACT is set to introduce the most liberal euthanasia laws in Australia, with no need for a predicted time of death for terminally ill patients to access the scheme, which will also be available to residents in nearby towns in NSW with “links” to the nation’s capital.
Former ALP candidate and anti-euthanasia advocate Brendan Long told The Australian he understands the Labor-Greens cabinet had endorsed what will be the Territory’s first assisted suicide legislation, due to be introduced in the ACT parliament on Tuesday.
Dr Long said the laws would buck the trend of other Australian jurisdictions by not requiring doctors to give patients a life expectancy timeline of six to 12 months to be eligible for an assisted death.
He said the Barr government’s assisted suicide program will also be accessible to people with a link to the ACT, including residents of nearby NSW towns such as Queanbeyan.

I suppose it’s possible the car was trying to lure the tank out from cover, whereupon an A/T team positioned around a corner may have lit the tank up. Had that been the plan though, I’d have wanted the camera car to be closer for better footage.

In March 2010 the first F/A-18F Super Hornets arrived in Amberley, then in 2017 the Royal Australian Air Force introduced the F/A-18G Growler electronic warfare aircraft into service also at RAAF Base Amberley so seeing them around Brisbane should be a fairly regular event.

Russia was recently boasting about a nuclear powered cruise missile they had developed. No doubt many were impressed. In the 1960’s the USA has tested the engine for such a weapon but decided not to build it because it would constitute a nuclear escalation to levels that even in the Cold War they considered ridiculous. The USA weapon literally had a radioactive exhaust plume that would contaminate wherever it travelled. Insane stuff but not insane enough for Putin and Co.
Oops, that should be MB, but you knew it.
Alan Howe in today’s Oz
NO ONE CAN EVER FEEL SAFE WHILE HOSTILE FORCES CONTINUE TO HATE
A week after Hamas entered Israel and slaughtered 1400 innocents – children were killed in front of their parents, babies beheaded, barely ambulatory victims burned alive on their settees – a dozen young men dressed in black, their identities hidden behind balaclavas hopped on a Melbourne tram.
A young woman I know was aboard and was frightened of the neo-Nazis. The noisy gang had already attracted the attention of police, who boarded at the next stop. An officer told other fearful passengers not to be afraid. “They’re just protesters,” he said.
They were a bit more than that. Growing in number to about 25, they later boarded a city train, gave Nazi salutes, and menaced passengers, reportedly asking if some were Jewish. A week later, the Victorian parliament passed the Summary Offences (Nazi Salute Prohibition) Bill – its sets penalties including $23,000 fines and jail for offenders – outlawing the gesture that was mandatory for Germans in the lead-up to World War II.
It is doubtful Melbourne’s mindless neo-Nazis know anything of the roots of the salute, although they understand Hitler rose to power with a vision for a new racial order in Europe, part of which became the so-called “final solution to the Jewish question”.
The Holocaust that followed is the reason there is an Israel. But it seems that Jews are never safe. Obviously not in their UN-created homeland, nor across Europe, not in the US or Britain and, shamefully, not even in Australia.
After the October 7 attacks, some of the world’s most famous buildings were bathed in the colours of Israel’s flag that was adopted 75 years ago last weekend. Strikingly illuminated were the Eiffel Tower, the Brandenburg Gates, the Empire State Building, the White House, London’s Guildhall and our Opera House. At only one was there a riot: the Opera House.
Clearly not everyone was surprised by this. Once it was known that pro-Palestinian groups would attend the Opera House to protest against its symbolic illumination, NSW Police warned Sydney’s Jews to stay away. But one turned up with an Israeli flag and he was the only person arrested that night. Ironically, pro-Palestinian protesters with Israeli flags were left alone. Of course, they set fire to these while chanting “f..k Israel” and “f..k the Jews”.
It is one thing to assume that witless students from Melbourne University chanting the Palestinian staple “from the river to the sea, Palestine will be free” might not be aware those words reflect a modern Middle-Eastern Final Solution: the genocide of the Jews who live west of the Jordan and east of the Mediterranean.
And protests on Monday at Melbourne’s Sofitel Hotel against the Australian subsidiary of Elbit, the cutting edge Israeli company that works on digital battlefield technologies, reaffirm the assumptions many young Australians make about Israel: that it is militaristic, hostile to its neighbours and indifferent to civilian deaths in Gaza.
No doubt many Australians are wondering why those with no ethnic connection to anyone in the Middle East would express sympathy for Hamas and those who support it?
Alex Ryvchin, co-CEO of the Executive Council of Australian Jewry, believes that the relentless teaching in Australia that Israel is an apartheid state, founded on colonialism, and a tool of Western imperialism, has won over the students who in earlier decades opposed the Vietnam War and, indeed, apartheid.
As a result, many of them have interpreted Hamas’s mass slaughter “as some sort of act of resistance and a noble act”.
It might look like it’s a long way from supporting the Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions movement, but in its own way, is an extension of that activism.
Ryvchin believes that parts of the Australian community has accepted the regularly peddled fictions about the Israelis for so long they can’t view Jews as ever being victims: “Look at what’s happening on the campuses … it’s no longer a bunch of far-left students incited by a few lefty academics. It’s become so well organised, so widespread, and so bloodthirsty in its nature.”
It seems that even though Hamas fully revealed itself on October 7, substantial numbers of Australians believe Israel had it coming.
As a democracy, Israeli Prime Minister has not only to defend his nation but also respond to the constituency’s fears and anger.
Many in the West, and even in Israel, have long thought that Article 7 of the Hamas charter was just an easily dismissed, florid outburst of hostility toward Israel: “The Day of Judgement will not come about until Muslims fight the Jews, when the Jew will hide behind stones and trees. The stones and trees will say O Muslims … there is a Jew behind me, come and kill him.”
When ISIS was evicted from Mosul from 2016, the forces against them included the US, Australia, Britain, France, Canada, Germany and even Turkey. ISIS was defeated, but about 8000 civilians were also killed along with 50 journalists. It was hailed internationally as a victory for justice.
It would appear that despite the savagery of Hamas, many Australians are taking a different view of today’s events in Israel and Gaza.

Palestine activist Nasser Mashni accused of ‘inciting hatred’
Jewish human rights campaigner Menachem Vorchheimer is threatening to sue Australia Palestine Advocacy Network president Nasser Mashni, accusing the organiser of recent pro-Palestinian rallies in Melbourne of breaching Victoria’s Racial and Religious Tolerance Act.
The action has prompted leading barrister Robert Richter KC, who once defended Mr Vorchheimer after he was the victim of a violent anti-Semitic attack, to state that while he supports the right of Palestinian supporters to demonstrate, those who conflate “all Jews” with Israel “may well be guilty” of the criminal offence of incitement to hatred.
In letters to Mr Mashni this week, Mr Vorchheimer accuses the property developer and Greens donor of a “serious act of incitement” in leading protesters at a Melbourne rally to join him in chanting “From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free”. Mr Vorchheimer says the chant, which refers to the Jordan River and Mediterranean Sea on Israel’s eastern and western borders, is “a call used by Hamas terrorists for the annihilation of Israel and Jews”.
“You will appreciate that this is a serious act of incitement and a breach of the Racial and Religious Tolerance Act 2001,” he writes in a letter to Mr Mashni.
The accountant, who is completing a Juris Doctor of Law, also argues that Mr Mashni is responsible for breaching the Racial and Religious Tolerance Act as one of the organisers of pro-Palestine protests at which the crowd has called for an “intifada” against Jews, and chanted “Khaybar Khaybar ya yahud, jaish Muhammad soufa ya’oud” outside state parliament.
The Arabic phrase, which is often used by extremist groups such as Islamic State, al-Qa’ida and the Muslim Brotherhood, translates as: “Remember Khaybar, oh Jews. The army of Muhammad will return.”
It refers to the massacre of Jews at Khaybar, in present-day Saudi Arabia, in 628 CE.
The Australian is not suggesting Mr Mashni chanted the phrase, only that he was one of the organisers of a rally at which Mr Vorchheimer alleges the phrase was prominently chanted.
“This conduct caused significant harm to both myself and members of the Jewish community,” Mr Vorchheimer writes of the chanting of all three phrases in his letter to Mr Mashni.
“Before commencing proceedings, I invite you to engage and advise what steps you propose taking to remedy these breaches and undertakings not to engage in such activity in the future.”
Mr Vorchheimer reached a settlement with Victoria Police after using the Racial and Religious Tolerance Act to take legal action over a notorious 2006 incident in which he was racially abused, punched in the face and had his kippah (religious skullcap) taken.
The three men who attacked him as he walked to a synagogue with his children were members of the Ocean Grove Football Club, who had been in a bus driven by an off-duty police officer.
Mr Richter, who represented Mr Vorchheimer over the 2006 incident, said: “As a critic of the actions of (Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin) Netanyahu and the Israeli government, I support the right of Palestinian supporters to demonstrate. People are entitled to demonstrate and express their political views.
“However, anyone demonstrating against ‘all Jews’, including Israelis who protest the actions of the Israeli government, and anyone who conflates all diaspora Jews as a whole with ‘Israel’ may well be guilty of incitement to hatred, which is criminalised by the Racial and Religious Tolerance Act of 2001.”
Mr Richter is a Jewish atheist whose Polish and Ukrainian parents survived the Holocaust.
Mr Mashni did not respond to multiple requests for comment.”

They simply doubled down on everything and escalated until people got sick of it and Ukraine was the current thing.
We weren’t allowed to attend mass for months, let alone sing.
Never again.
There will be “friendlies” in there. Very brave ones.
As for forgiveness, it has to be sought before its given. Up until then you put it all to back of mind, otherwise it eats you away. We see how obsessive hatred works.
By the way I don’t know that Israel intends to push that much further south, I think they have clearly demarcated their ground war zone.
Hamas will find themselves spread thinner and thinner.
In so many ways.
Starmer must confront Labour’s Islamist problem- Paywalled
Those making common cause with Hamas are the terrorists’ useful idiots – or worse
CHARLES MOORE
Much talk about Sir Keir Starmer’s risk of a Labour split over Israel and Gaza; less thought, so far, about what it might mean for this country if he were to back away from his initial support for Israel and his unqualified condemnation of Hamas.
After winning his party’s leadership, Sir Keir addressed Labour’s “Jewish problem”, facing down the Corbynite hard Left. He did it well. But Labour, like many British institutions, also has a Muslim problem. This he has not yet faced.
The problem is a remarkable inability to distinguish between Muslims who are in politics because they wish to be good, active citizens of this country and those who follow a sectarian and sometimes extreme approach. Both types are active in the Labour Party.
Not only Labour is at fault here.
You can see it in the way bodies like the police or the Crown Prosecution Service have naively engaged with supporters of Hamas, such as Muhammad Sawalha or Mohammed Kozbar (deputy secretary of the Muslim Council of Britain), regarding them, incredibly, as agents of moderation.
The pogroms of October 7 were the greatest atrocities committed in the entire 75-year-story of the state of Israel.
They were committed by Hamas (and smaller associates). In its founding Covenant, Hamas denounces the Jews as Nazis, calls for their elimination from the Holy Land and uses the word “jihad” in a context which (whatever Metropolitan Police “experts” might think) unquestionably means violence.
It also lauds terrorism in the name of Islam, invoking Muslim scripture: “Verily ye are stronger than they, by reason of the terror cast into their breasts from Allah.” The Covenant is a virulently racist document.
Those who marched in London and other British cities in the wake of the massacres knew this, or were in position to know this, yet the whole of their anger was directed against those attempting to fight back against the mass murderers.
Therefore, those marching were either Hamas supporters or Hamas tolerators (or utter ignoramuses). They had nothing to say about the monstrous crimes just inflicted, except, in some cases, to support them.
Current calls for a ceasefire should be seen in this light.
Although many will feel genuine compassion for the people of Gaza, they must surely know that a ceasefire at this point would give massive advantage to Hamas and, in effect, remove from Israel its right of self-defence.
This means that if Sir Keir now backs down, he will have shown that his leadership dare not confront the faction in his party which, at best, excuses Hamas and, at worst, supports it.
That would be terrible for a party which expects to govern after the next election. It would be seen to be appeasing, for electoral advantage or because of weak leadership, the deadliest terror group currently operating in the world.
Such a party could not unite the nation, nor uphold the rule of law.
Probably most Muslims in this country are more pro-Palestinian than the rest of the population.
That opinion is legitimate.
But Muslim anti-Semitism is also a serious problem.
If Labour thinks that the price of corralling “the Muslim vote” is to equivocate over atrocities and present Israel as the aggressor, not the victim, its claim to have banished anti-Semitism will be laughable.
Its aim of community cohesion will founder.
It is dismaying that the main Labour politicians challenging Sir Keir on this point are both mayors, Sadiq Khan for London and Andy Burnham for Greater Manchester.
They appear to believe electoral success in their cities depends on appeasing Islamist rage.
If they are right, the outlook for future civil peace is grim.
If Sir Keir shows enough courage, he will probably prove them wrong.
Needs to be repeated.
Already lost in a world of politicians squishing the situation or bravely declaring red lines, Hamas actually crossed firmly, unequivocally, and irreversibly into ISIS nightmare monster territory.
Everyone calling for ceasefire now so that a Two State Solution (or whatever) may prevail is either, somehow, incredibly, suspending disbelief in the ‘partner for peace’ lurking in Gaza – or wilfully and slyly arguing for more horror in the destruction of Israel.
Perhaps because they hate Israel, perhaps because Israel is a proxy for their hatred of the US. Perhaps, at best, because it’s easier and less offensive to their real interests to kick someone else’s can down the road and hope something turns up.

By the way I don’t know that Israel intends to push that much further south, I think they have clearly demarcated their ground war zone.
Hamas will find themselves spread thinner and thinner.
In so many ways.
Arab news reports claim: Israel’s ground op could cut Hamas control of key road
The success of the IDF ground troops comes amid continued calls abroad for a pause in operations for humanitarian aid, a ceasefire, and the opening of the border with Egypt as an exit.
Israel’s expanding ground operation is being watched closely by regional media. On Monday, Arab news reports claimed that Israeli tanks were seen on a major road that connects the south of the Gaza Strip, to the north.
The reports prompted speculation in foreign media about the progress of the ground campaign: If Salah a-Din Road is under Israeli control (along with another major road along the coast), transit across the Strip will be cut for Hamas, essentially splitting the enclave into two.
These reports have appeared only in Arab media.
Al-Ain media postulated that Israel reached into central Gaza at its narrowest point, an area of fields between Gaza City and Al-Bureij camp.
This area includes the village of Juhr al-Dik and its surrounding fields. The report calls this the “soft flank” of Gaza, because there is no built-up area, and it can be easily traversed to the sea.
The Al-Ain report reads: “From the Zaytoun neighborhood, through the Netzarim Junction, to the Juhr al-Dik area, Israel seemed to be sensing a new phase in its ground operation in the Gaza Strip, on the 24th day of the war.”
Cutting the strip in two
The report goes on to note that moving through this area, near Wadi Gaza and also the Salah al-Din Road, presents a stratagem that cuts the strip in two. “The distance between the border separating Israel and the outskirts of the Zaytoun neighborhood up to Salah al-Din Street is about three kilometers, and they are uninhabited agricultural areas, and therefore Israeli movement in that area is easy,” the report reads.
The report adds that Israel has operated in this area in the past – one of the raids last week when Israel entered and retreated from the Gaza Strip.
The report says that the area was “subjected to artillery shelling from Israeli vehicles and armored vehicles stationed there.” It also says that “eyewitnesses spoke of the arrival of Israeli tanks to an area just a kilometer away from the Netzarim Junction, located along the eastern outskirts of the Zaytoun neighborhood, also located on Salah al-Din;” Palestinians in Gaza posted a video of a tank firing on a car.
The Al-Ain further report notes that the Netzerim junction is named for the former Israeli community that was evacuated in 2005 under the Disengagement from the Gaza Strip. As such, Israel is familiar with this area that “extends to Al-Bahr Street to the west,” according to the report.
It also notes that Israel would have to cut the Rashid coastal road as well. It explains that prior to 2005, Israel used to have the ability to cut these two roads in order to isolate the area of Gaza and prevent terrorism.
Pro-Iran media expressed worry about Israel cutting this key road. Al-Mayadeen ran a report claiming that Israel had not been able to cut the road, based on Palestinian claims of “resistance” in this area.
Clearly, all eyes are not on central Gaza, and the key roads between the north and south. This is as Israel also presses in from the north, along the beach from Zikim, and also toward Gaza City near Beit Hanun and other areas.

a dozen young men dressed in black, their identities hidden behind balaclavas hopped on a Melbourne tram.
A young woman I know was aboard and was frightened of the neo-Nazis. The noisy gang had already attracted the attention of police, who boarded at the next stop. An officer told other fearful passengers not to be afraid. “They’re just protesters,” he said.
They were a bit more than that. Growing in number to about 25, they later boarded a city train, gave Nazi salutes, and menaced passengers, reportedly asking if some were Jewish.
This seems to be straight out journo fear-mongering. Why the assumption they were “neo-nazis”?
The first “dozen young men dressed in black”, could easily have been left wing protestors, as I have seen facing off to police when the “far right” were having a BBQ in the city some time ago. None of the far-right were in black balaclavas, but all the left wing anti-protestors certainly were. There were pics of them in the media causually trying to start angst. They could have been BLM or antifa as well.
Then “they later boarded a city train” .. what, from a tram to a train? Where?
Sounds like tiny bits of stories stitched together in the journalistic filth manner to create something out of nothing. To try to label groups with bugger all evidence.
I am against rampantf fear mongery and this kind of journalism is creating unwelcome fear and discontent in the community
Nothing to see here. Just reasonable steps.
What next MetPlod?
Demolish a couple of Synagogues so they don’t get firebombed?
Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu rules out ceasefire as he likens conflict to bombing of Pearl Harbour and September 11 attacks
Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has delivered a televised address, sending a message to terror group Hamas and declaring “this is a time for war” as soldiers reportedly advance on a Gaza city.
Terror group Hamas on Monday night released a video on social media showing three females hostages in an attempt to pile more pressure on Israel to call a ceasefire.
The clip showed three Israeli women sitting on a chair unbounded, with one slamming the government for being focused on “driving your political, security, military and political chaos” instead of helping to free some 230 captives.
It is likely the trio were under duress when they filmed the video. (No Shit Sherlock!)
In a televised address hours following the release of the hostage video, Mr Netanyahu clarified Israel’s position amid repeated global calls for a ceasefire.
“Just as the United States would not agree to a ceasefire after the bombing of Pearl Harbour or after the terrorist attack of 9/11, Israel will not agree to a cessation of hostilities with Hamas after the horrific attacks of October 7,” he said.
“Calls for a ceasefire are a call for Israel to surrender to Hamas, to surrender to terrorism, to surrender to barbarism. That will not happen.
“The Bible says that there is a time for peace and a time for war. This is a time for war.”
Mr Netanyahu stressed Israel’s Defence Forces were not only focused on frontline efforts to eliminate Hamas, but also to free the remaining captives.
“We’re committed to getting all the hostages back home. We think that this method stands a chance. It’s a goal that we’re committed to,” he said in the press conference.
The Israeli Prime Minister believes an incursion will create “pressure” which could force the “possibility” of getting more captives out.
Israeli Defence Minister Yoav Gallant flagged Hamas had “two options”, to “die fighting” or hand themselves in to Israel “without conditions”.
“We will reach them and we will achieve our mission and we will ensure the organisation is no longer there,” he said.
‘We will succeed in our ground operation by ensuring the return of our captives and by dismantling Hamas’ capabilities.”
Censorship by the cops, always a welcome thing in the west.
They’re totally cucked and we’re not far behind.
As Glenn Reynolds said: the dogs don’t like the dog food.

The EV bubble popped: VW orders are down 50%, Ford loses $38,000 on each car, Toyota chief, says “people are waking up”
Monster among the cars.
By Jo Nova
Last week the EV bubble popped
It’s been a crushing week for the EV industry as the bad news that has been brewing for months was laid bare in the quarterly reports. Across the industry, corporate CEO’s are all admitting that demand is unexpectedly slow, orders are down, and suddenly projects are being delayed “indefinitely”.
Volkswagen admitted orders are down a shocking 50% and they are sacking 2,000 jobs in the software division. Ford posted an operating loss of $1.3 billion for the quarter — meaning they are losing $36,000 for every EV they sell. They face a ghastly full year loss of $4.5b, so not surprisingly, they are delaying battery plants, and plans to expand production. All up they are now holding off on $12 billion in investments.
The head of Mercedes-Benz described the market as “a pretty brutal space”. Harald Wilhelm hinted that some manufacturers won’t survive: “I can hardly imagine the current status quo is fully sustainable for everybody,” he said.
Panasonic has slowed EV battery production was reduced by 60% in Japan compared to the same quarter last year. While its US plants were OK, profit forecasts of the whole energy division were down 15% and depended on US subsidies.
News of cars kidnapping drivers, and airport car infernos have added to range anxiety and crushing interest rates to squeeze the EV bubble til it popped.
The bloodbath has been bad:
interesting essay on the history of Palestine by Mr Warby
Which story is that?
I remember reading I think it was Mark Twain about muslim farmers abandoning the wheel because investing in anything that could be confiscated at the whim of their overlords was rightly judged a waste of time.
Does the same apply to the continued use of donkey and horse in tiny Gaza?
However, I do see that Mrs Stencho Pantyhose and Junior Cretin had the temerity to upset the Toon flow. How remiss of them both. Tut tut and poor form.

The renewable EV world is the greatest ponzi of all time.
Solar and wind are at most 25% efficient in delivery and require vast areas of valuable agricultural land to spread out a network that relies on the weather for security of supply. A supply that’s based on the premise that you need to overbuild the generation capacity by 6-7 times to achieve the same result that a fossil or nuclear generator would achieve in a few small sites, not to the tens of thousands of kilometres of steel and wire required to hook this together.
It’s pure madness.
Another day of Hamas apologists in the corporate media.
Until all the hostages are released, no sympathy.
The media is also getting very antsy cos what it considers its right to unfettered access to everything Gaza is being ignored by Israel .. Irony is for so many wordsmiths they can’t quite grasp that all that “we luvs the terrorists” reporting doesn’t equate to a “level” playing field …… FURGLEWITS ……!
Exactly Shatterzzz.
Their ABC:
It would be more than a little surprising if the IDF did all this without building up a bit of a picture of the Gazan tunnel system.
I’m no military strategist, but you’d have to imagine that an IDF objective might be to destroy infrastructure connected with the tunnel system (for example tenement blocks, rookeries for Hamas terrorists), cut down connected weapons pits served by the tunnels, and take control of entry/exit points.
The chatteratii are deeply impressed by Hamas’ tunnelling as a powerful strategic weapon. While it certainly allows flexibility in running unobserved pop-up terrorism in a small area, it becomes a Maginot Line of Doom when you don’t control the surface above.
Hopefully Israel can arrange a ‘rats in a trap’ situation to exchange for hostages.

Given the level of devastation and suffering the media are reporting in Gaza I’m amazed at how well equipped, clean and staffed the hospital system is .. all that lighting without electricity or fuel, must be solar .. and those pristine uniforms …..
No wonder all the “civilians” are sheltering in hospitals .. plenty of food, water, electrics and, probably, food available ………..!

Well we finally got home last night at around 10pm after a pretty exhausting 3 weeks+ touring Europe and London.
Trip home took over a day in airports and flying and it wasn’t the best experience. We flew Emirates and they were OK going to London just 2 flights (Dubai being the hub). But on the return we found the crew rather unfriendly and unhelpful plus when we arrived in Dubai we found out that our connecting flight was first going to Singapore not direct to Melbourne in which our booking and ticket had no mention of Singapore.
It didn’t add to the time of the trip but it did increase our tiredness as we had to get off the plane and go through another security check before boarding the same plane again.,
And to top if off when we got home the good wife discovered her credit card had been stolen (we’re pretty sure it was the guy sitting next to her on the last flight from Singapore to Melbourne).
So last night I had to cancel/report the card stolen. At least with digital apple wallet you can get your new digital card updated immediately. The hassle is now changing all the direct debits we have to the new card details.
As for our last week in London we much preferred it to the 2 week slog through Europe – controlling our own timetable made a huge difference plus we pretty well managed to see everything we wanted to there including going to a Championship football match (QPR vs Leicester) which was my first live UK football game in over 50 years.
Our hotel location in Bayswater was outstanding as we had 2 underground stations (on separate lines) no more than 300-400 metres away plus the next block had 2 pubs, 20+ restaurants, 3-4 supermarkets plus a laundrette, so we had our needs for the week well catered for.
London itself is very expensive, as pretty much everything was a pound to what we’d expect to pay in AUS$ so twice as expensive. However, the underground was so easy to use (and cheap) which made getting around London so easy.
As for the people it was hard to spot/hear a Pom – full of every other nationality except Poms. About the only place where we saw/heard many Poms was at the football !
So home now laundry and grocery shopping to do . . . fun times.

People were always awake to the impracticality of the EV cars, it’s the smart people who completely forgot the reason for the personal car. People wanted the freedom of going wherever they wanted and whenever they wanted or they would have continued using only the public transport.
Roads were made to enable people to go wherever they wanted and whenever they wanted. The petrol fuel is far superior to any other source, plonk a tank in the middle of nowhere and refill it when required by a mobile tanker, no need to have a pipeline to every one of them.
Cheap and convenient is the reason for universal uptake of ICE cars, EV cars are an old technology and application that was tried at the dawn of cars and found wanting. EV cars are a symptom of the same disease that insists on going back in time to the old renewables technology, eg windmills, that was also found wanting otherwise we would not have gone on to coal, gas and nuclear.

I’m writing to the senator seeking clarification of this statement and pointing out the obvious equivocation she has drawn between a state sanctioned psychotic killing spree against civilians and a military operation targeted solely at the perpetrators of said killing spree and their fellow combatants.
Maybe she means hamas is murdering Gazan civilians in hiding behind them? If so she should clarify her statement.
If not, she should withdraw it and apologise.
