If you repeat the downtick, it cancels the first one. That’s how we can see a ‘0’ appear.
And if you you were to downtick instead of uptick by accident, then cancel it with a second one which releases the downtickthingy to enable you to do an uptick. Or something.
I see the psychopath “thumbs down” is still stalking Calli.
Pathetic loser.
Bibles and dictionaries for Christmas?
I have three bibles, including a lovely fine paper leather bound copy of the Cambridge King James, and another King James my mother wrote in; and three dictionaries in English, including the Shorter Oxford (it’s absolutely huge even tho’ not the full Oxford) and the lesser Oxford and an outdated Macquarie that is somewhere. I gave away the very large Websters, American competitor to the Shorter Oxford. Used it as a doorstop mostly.
So I’ll have another sort of book for Christmas, thank you.
By the way, the Muslim and leftist scum who went to Caulfield a month ago, and then the night after drove in convoy, under personal escort by the NSWaffen Police, from the western suburbs to Sydney’s eastern suburbs, to harass and intimidate Jews, were simply doing what they’ve done for fifteen hundred years. That’s the historical story of Islam towards religious minorities, be they Jews, Christians, Yazidis and Zoroastrians. The historical pogroms in Safed, in Jerusalem, in Gaza, in Hebron, across North African, in Toledo, in Cordova, in Cairo, in Alexandria, in Beirut, in Damascus, and so on always began with hoards of young Muslim men rampaging through Jewish neighbourhoods, murdering and raping. The Nazi Muslim scum of four weeks ago know their history of how to intimidate religious minorities, and they know we Jews know our history, and make no mistake, if they could have inflicted sexual and physical violence four weeks ago, they would have, and if they could inflict violence on Australian Jews, they most definitely would.
Great country we are now!
Haven’t the state premiers threatened a revolt over that?

If they really wanted to black Hannibal up, Michael B Jordan would have been a better choice due to age.
Weird how Netflix couldn’t find an actor of North African descent to play the role.
There’s a million of them running around French cinema.
At best you would have to say the Liar Right is preferable to the Liar Left. PeanutHead might be the exception to the rule no one is unelectable though.
That is what passes for showing leadership now, is it?
I must admit to being more impressed with Dutton of late. He has picked a few fights where he has come out on top. Compare that to the effeminate simp, Trumble, or the emasculated Morrison who seemed to think that anyt Liberal policy would be palatable to voters if it was just left-wing enough.
The NDIS is a hell of an albatross around anyone’s neck. Gillard’s Fabian Godzilla.
I see what you did,burn. Lol!
We aare being ruled by the radical fringe who represent 8% of the workforce outside of the public service dupported by the Greenfilth fringe, who get 10% of the popular vote.
PS: the NDIS was an ALP brain fart that the Stupid Frigging Liberals went along with to artificially inflate Australia’s big government.
Seriously?
An amoeba for PM?
Wait until his extra-curriculars are broadcast. Or is there a sacred hush over that?
Pardon the typos.
Hannibal as a Carthaginian was of course Phoenician colonist from the Mediterranean coast of Israel and Lebanon and…Gaza.
And that area was settled by the Sea Peoples around 1300 BC. And they were Mycenae Greeks. We have extensive DNA and archaeological evidence now (which is fun since Hamas as it happens is actually a bunch of Greeks, not Canaanites as they like to claim.)
So Hannibal, assuming no interbreeding, would look more like Alexander the Great than Michael Jordan.
Rob Rinder on October 7 attacks: ‘The paramedic saw headless bodies and heard terrorists laughing’
The TV personality joined the medics who fought to save the lives of those caught in the massacre – and was touched by the hope they bring
By Francesca Ryan
It was 5am when Rob Rinder touched down in Tel Aviv. The airport, usually bustling with life, was eerily quiet – “a ghost town”. He headed towards Sderot, a city by the Gazan border, just an hour away. “The massacre was so close to everyone in Israel – not just emotionally, but physically, too,” he says.
Britain’s much-loved broadcaster, barrister, former Strictly quarter-finalist and author was in Israel to visit first responders from Israel’s ambulance service, Magen David Adom (MDA), meaning the Red Star of David.
Accompanied by the chief executive of the British fundraising wing of MDA and a cameraman, his mission was to capture the stories of those who helped save lives on October 7.
He’s no hero, he insists, but admits he didn’t tell his 70-year-old mother, Angela, about the trip until he was home, for fear of worrying her. His brother Craig, though, was given the heads-up. “I have the unconditional support and love from my family which, of all of the privileges in life, is the most important one,” he adds.
Rinder, 45, is no stranger to Israel: he spent two and a half years working with “a community of courageous colleagues” to make The Holy Land and Us – Our Untold Stories, a two-part BBC documentary exploring the stories of both Palestinians and Jews following the establishment of Israel, including some of his own family.
It was made with “a great deal of time, heart and passion”, he tells me (indeed, the documentary is shortlisted for Best Specialist Factual Programme in the 2024 Broadcast Awards).
He is also familiar with conflict – he was in Sierra Leone at the civil war’s end to help teach non-violent debating skills (the head of his chambers was the Chief War Crimes Prosecutor at the time) and two years ago he went to the Ukraine border to interview those fleeing from the east.
But this, he says emphatically, “is different”, adding, “There’s denial of this massacre happening in real time, and there’s an increasing and truly malignant metastasisation of anti-Semitism.”
His maternal grandfather, Morris Malenicky, was a Holocaust survivor, while last year, Rinder, alongside his mother, received an MBE for his work in Holocaust education.
Rinder’s acclaimed BBC documentary series My Family, the Holocaust and Me is now being used by UCL’s Centre for Holocaust Education in schools. For Rinder, the rise in anti-Semitism is personal and “deeply disturbing”.
We discuss some of the experiences Jewish people have shared with him over the past two months – teenagers being racially abused on the streets, adults being ostracised by colleagues at work, children being bullied at school. And also the online hatred. “Whether it’s being called ‘dirty Jew’ or a ‘Zionist shill’ – what I thought was only in the darkest recesses of society, is coming out in the public sphere.”
He tells me about a conversation he’d recently had with a reporter for a major American television network.
“He’d interviewed survivors from a kibbutz and showed me messages he’d received from people claiming that those in his reports were actors. I’ve grown up in a family with a Holocaust survivor. I’ve spent time trying to teach about the dangers of anti-Semitism. But here, my friend was warning me that it has reached horrifying new levels.”
Rinder grew up in a working-class community in Southgate, north London. His father was a black-cab driver, and his parents divorced when Rinder was young.
“It was rich in love if not in other things,” he says of his childhood. He was brought up to believe that “nobody gets to write your narrative” – a spirit he credits to Morris, his Lithuanian grandfather.
Rob Rinder hopes his powerful video interviews with 7 October responders, screened at charity events and across social media, will help highlight the work of Magen David Adom
When we chat over FaceTime, Rinder is backstage at the Cliffs Pavilion, in Southend, rehearsing for his panto role as Captain Hook. He’s just flown in from Rome (filming a future project he can’t disclose), but his mind is very much back in Israel.
“I felt that the response to this denial and everything that goes with it had to be to listen. And who better to listen to than the paramedics of MDA, Israel’s emergency ambulance service,” he says.
“These people have no incentive but to save lives and to run towards danger – the very best of humankind.” MDA was established in 1930 by a Jewish doctor as a medical volunteer service, but it was only in July 1950 that MDA officially became Israel’s national emergency service.
Fast-forward to 2023 and the organisation has about 1,500 permanent staff and 27,000 volunteers, with approximately 10 per cent of MDA’s income still funded by charitable international donations.
Its workforce reflects the nation it serves and Israeli society as a whole, so includes Jews, Muslims, Christians and others.
Today, MDA is in urgent need of funds and hopes that Rinder’s powerful video interviews, screened at charity events on social media, will help. The lives of 11 MDA paramedics were lost that morning, along with 12 emergency vehicles.
For Rinder, it is that humanitarian spirit that draws him to MDA
To capture personal testimonies, Rinder journeyed south from Tel Aviv with a videographer. Rinder shows me one of the videos – it packs an emotional punch. The stories speak for themselves, but Rinder’s sensitivity and empathy on screen is very moving.
In Sderot, less than a mile away from Gaza, there are only 15 seconds between the sound of sirens and rocket impact, hence the need for bulletproof vests. More than 200,000 Israelis have been evacuated from border towns as Hamas rockets continue to fall.
Out of the window, “it was those outward vestiges of modernity that struck me – the things that superficially seem to protect from inhumanity and horror – a McDonald’s, a supermarket”.
He has subsequently discovered that his first stop, the city’s ambulance centre, was intended for massacre – it was listed as a target on plans found in the possession of terrorists.
There, he met the volunteers who took calls, drove ambulances, and treated the wounded on October 7, including former paratrooper commander Ophir Tor, 61.
Before our interview, Rinder sends me some chilling CCTV footage posted on Instagram. A man in a T-shirt is seen swerving bullets. As he goes out of shot, three armed terrorists come into view.
An unsuspecting minivan approaches. One of the terrorists stands in the road and points a rocket at the windscreen. And then an explosion. A vanload blown to smithereens – elderly people on their way to the Dead Sea, decapitated from the blast.
After narrowly missing those bullets, Ophir (the man in the T-shirt) tried to warn others to hide. He saved the life of a mother and son by ushering them away from the carnage and then helped others to the relative safety of the centre, before starting his shift.
“He saw bodies in the road – children’s bodies, headless bodies – and described it ‘like watching a horror film’. And he remembered hearing the terrorists laughing.
‘They were enjoying it. They came only for death,’ he told me.
“Ophir immediately went into survival mode,” says Rinder, adding that something about his “quiet understanding” reminded him of his own grandfather.
In 1942, Morris’s mother, father and four sisters and brother were taken to Treblinka concentration camp, where they were murdered. Morris, then 19, was sent to forced labour in a glass factory before being sent to concentration camps, where he miraculously survived until liberation. He was one of 300 survivors known as the Windermere Children, brought over to the Lake District by the Jewish charity the Central British Fund.
Back in Sderot, Ophir retraced his steps with Rinder, “as if deconstructing a crime scene… a head blown off here, a rocket attack there. We ended up in the ambulance centre car park, where he listed the bodies of that day, scores of them: Holocaust survivors, children, young IDF soldiers,” adds Rinder. He had what Rinder describes as a “kindness of eyes… and was so stoic, so logical”.
After the army, Ophir decided to volunteer at MDA after his best friend and comrade had died in his arms.
“He became a paramedic to heal people because he couldn’t save his friend,” Rinder says.
From there, he travelled 45 miles to Kibbutz Magen, where a civil defence team managed to fight off terrorists, with only one member of the 350-strong kibbutz killed. They have all now been evacuated.
Driving south, Rinder passed the site of the Nova Festival – “a right turning up an innocuous road”.
“What we’re learning now is that many of those young people were engaged in activism for a peaceful two-state solution for Israel and Palestine.”
On Kibbutz Magen, Rinder met Shunit Dekel, 43, who had landed in Israel that morning and went straight to serve at MDA.
She couldn’t get to her children, who were at home under attack. “She told me that the ambulances were being shot at and the volunteers going to save lives were being murdered, too.
“She told me how people who escaped the festival were ambushed by terrorists from every angle. Just as they’d thought they’d reached safety, they were shot dead.
There was just no place to hide. If you drove north, you were shot. If you ran, you were shot. If you went to a shelter, you were shot.”
Another testimony he shares is that of Sharon Temis, 25, whom he met in the regional dispatch centre in Ashdod. She is a trainee doctor and also volunteers as an emergency dispatcher.
On October 7, she was on the way to the airport for an overseas trip when she saw her phone’s red alert. She immediately turned her car round and went to the control centre. On a normal day there are a few “red calls”, for high-emergency situations.
On that morning, the screens of every dispatcher were entirely red. There were too many calls to answer.
Rinder says: “She described the screams of children, of men, of women, of grandmothers: ‘Save us’, Where are you?’, ‘Help us!’, ‘Please come now’. The ambulance tyres and doors were also being shot at.
And the paramedics, too. Their radios started to go silent ‘making that soft sound the sea makes’.
“She spoke of a boy – Yotam, 12. He was whispering on the phone to her: ‘My parents and my brother and sister are dead.’ Sharon asked him where he was – he was hiding under a bed in his room.
He could hear voices. She said to him: ‘I will stay with you, Yotam. You must be quiet for your Ima and Abba’ – for the sake of his mother and father.
And she did. She answered other calls along the way, but she stayed with him on the call until he was rescued. He is the only survivor from his family.”
She does not know where he is now, says Rinder, but she “hopes he is with grandparents”.
Sharon Temis is training to be a doctor and volunteers as an emergency dispatcher in her spare time
Before Rinder leaves, Sharon’s colleague tells him that they also had to dispatch an ambulance to treat a terrorist that day. “I asked her why and she smiled – a real smile – and said: ‘Because we are for humanity. We save lives. Whatever kind.’”
For Rinder, it is that humanitarian spirit that draws him to MDA. The night before his trip, he posted an image on Instagram of him standing alongside members of the Jordanian Red Crescent (Jordan’s equivalent of the MDA).
In the caption, he highlighted that the Jordanians joined the International Committee of the Red Cross on the very same day as MDA [back in 2006] with a quote from Maya Angelou: “Hope and fear cannot occupy the same space”. The picture was taken on a charity bike ride a few years back – but represents so much more, a collaborative ethos Rinder feels is key in this age-old conflict.
“The starting point at the beginning of any mediation, before we can even come to a table, is to do the preliminary work of understanding that you and me share a common place on this earth as human beings,” he says. “And that’s where we start – with goodwill. For me, MDA and its volunteers are the best example of that goodwill, even against the backdrop of conflict.
“MDA also shares blood between Jews and Palestinians, and it’s impossible to think of a more, not just poetic, but profound and clear illustration of a shared humanity than sharing blood.”
MDA donor blood is used in Israeli hospitals for both Palestinian and Israeli patients and MDA exchanges blood with other members of the International Committee of the Red Cross if a rare blood type is needed.
“Now that MDA is a member of the International Red Cross it is also sharing its advanced medical technology.” (The Jordanian Red Crescent team has recently visited Israel for that specific purpose.)
I ask Rinder how he felt as he headed home from his mission, but the seemingly simple question stumps him: “I don’t know. All I know is I wanted to capture on film these accounts of humanity and that’s what I did.
And just like the other work I’ve done, if you walk away feeling touched by the stories you’ve captured, that’s always a good starting point.”
What touched him most?
For that, he has a swift response: “The thing that always touches you most isn’t the horror, it isn’t the savagery, it’s always the good and the hope.”
Back in the UK, last weekend he was on the streets too, along with more than 100,000 others, to march against anti-Semitism.
This weekend Rinder plans to attend a vigil of humanity and hope with Israelis, Palestinians and all faiths, organised by Together for Humanity, which perfectly chimes with his ethos.
Sadly, he feels the battle against anti-Semitism will be a “lifelong fight”.
“You can’t disinvent the hate,” he says. “You can only do what you can to educate children and empower them to stand against it.”
I have no desire to view photographs or film of the victims of a subhuman species – homo h@m@s. It distresses me still that some here continue to acknowledge these disturbed animalistic creatures of dark malice with their chosen name, which, as I have referenced previously, means ‘courage’ in Arabic. (It has a duel meaning: as an acronym, and ‘courage’ or ‘zeal.’).
I would, however, like to see The Cat community vote on an award for The Most Morally Degenerate Media Representation of the tragedy.
(I’m not fussed about the wording, and perhaps there can be two or three categories. There would not be a physical award, but the results could be published here, amongst ourselves).
I intend the latter – the award – quite seriously. Please offer feedback if you think it has potential (albeit limited).
Not just the j’ismists need to cooperate like in Hawkey’s day.
I forgive you this time, Tom.
I don’t know if this book has been referenced here, but is a brilliant read: The Closing Of The Muslim Mind: How Intellectual Suicide Created The Modern Islamist Crisis/ Robert R. Reilly.
I fear this is now happening in the West.

As for the most morally degenerate depiction, I’ll leave that to others.

Pity? They went into this weekend ranked #4. Tonight they won their conference championship with a freshman 3rd string quarterback and with the most brilliant defensive effort I believe I have ever seen. They finished their regular season 13-0.
Alabama, Texas, and Georgia are 1 loss teams.
The committee reports out at noon today but my bet would be Washington, Michigan, FSU and probably Texas will be in the playoffs.
I have no desire to view photographs or film of the victims of a subhuman species
If the Oct 7th deniers aren’t forcefed the images, they will continue to deny it.
So it has to keep being shared.
Not accusing you of being an Oct 7th denier.
Just saying why they have to keep being shared.
For FSU fans, I hope you’re right.
Listening to the ESPN committee watchers, they are saying otherwise.
‘there is no such thing as the separation of powers. It’s a doctrine that’s judicially made up…In Canada or Britain or New Zealand there is no separation of powers doctrine that allows Judges to strike down legislation.
The Constitution is based on the SOP principle: legislature, executive (including the GG) and the HC. But the separation is incomplete because the Prime Minister, ministers and the GG are part of the Executive and the Parliament.
High Court judges, the Prime Minister and ministers are appointed by the GG, who is part of the Parliament and the Executive.
So, it is not surprising the waters get muddied every now and then when one power flexes its muscles. But the alternative, with a concentration of power, is worse.
‘ESPN committee watchers’ are butt-hurt that no SEC team will make the playoffs for the first time ever.
Calli & Bespoke.
Thanks. I am actually serious about a media ‘award’ (in name only) but am unsure of how to proceed. Hence my request for feedback. I cannot countenance them escaping responsibility like they have with the covidiocy.
Joaquin Niemann becomes the first Chilean to win the Australian Open golf, joining the greats of the game from Jack Nicklaus down.
Earlier, and apropos of stores in remote Australia:
A crew called Outback Stores appear to have taken over most of the general community stores in recent years. How they got multiple contracts from the Big Men remains to be seen (or maybe there are clues, somewhere).
In any event – in the first year or two after they really got a foothold, Outback Stores made a great deal of supplying fresh fruit and vegetables to said communities. They were actually quite a bit cheaper than what you could get in Alice Springs, Katherine or D-Town, and from what I am told were also really decent in quality.
This lasted for about six months, before demand trumped good intentions and it went back to Coke and chicken wings.
Someone has to bite the bullet before it becomes one of the largest expenditure lines in the budget.
Oh, I don’t think so, bespoke. I think we can exercise a modicum of discernment.

Unlikely he’ll be PM. The purples will more likely join up in a green-red-
blue-oops teal* coalition like Germany to keep those noisome conservatives from PVV and the farmers’ party out.(* ie Mark Rutte and the VVD)
Any Cats watched The Fall?
Gave up on it around 4 episodes into series 1.
Gillian Anderson was good but the premise – powerful woman solves crimes – is getting a bit hackneyed these days. They threw the Irish charm angle at it but ho-hum.
I thought it was very good. Not easy viewing but very well done.
Thanks Zatara.
Will be a great test for the BCS, how much will ESPN influence their decisions.
Perfect! To quote another, “whom the gods would destroy, they first make mad”.
On Gillian Anderson – impressive. And aeons away from her Scully role.
Rog, I’m not a politician (for which everyone on this continent should be grateful for) but the NDIS would never have leapt into life from my drawing board, being a sea of red ink.
Especially allowing the states to completely renege any so called responsibility, which they never exhibited in the first place.

Hmmm. You’ve definitely put your finger on a problem there. Perhaps we should restrict men to be alpha males, none of whom would be seen dead doing social “sciences”. Beta to Omega males would count as honorary women.

By ‘dozens’, a more accurate description would be ‘a dozen and a half unco-ordinated poseurs dressed all in black and unable to walk in the same direction at the same time’.
They went down part of Sturt Street, then got into their cars and repeated the process for a couple of hundred yards on the road leading to Sovereign Hill.
Then it was back into the Commodores and to the front of the local jack shop, where they took photos before going home because it was getting close to pudding time.

Instead, he succumbed to Woke. And thus became exactly what is denigrated by those he clearly supports.
It’s not an accident of language that actors are hypocrites.
Muddy – You missed “atrocity” and “war crimes”.
Rabz I thought I was being subtle, shivving in the “awards” which are given in contempt.
There’s also an award which is given by the banshees of Emily’s List for the most sexistness WASP evah of the year… can’t recall what they call it, but it’s really a mark of based honour for the Beetrooter or A666ott or whoever they pick.
A bit like Dr Duk and Cookerpedia.
but I’m digressing- back to the Wormtongue/Blackheart- I believe the concept of taqqiya is due for seizure and weaponization against these snakes.

Samah Sabawi, a Palestinian writer living in Melbourne, told the crowd that many of her family in Gaza had died during Israel’s bombing campaign since Hamas attacked on October 7, and that she was “heartbroken, but not beaten”.”
I say…..BULLSHIT.

Blessed with a house sized bottomage, it is …
Peter Costello ought to be ashamed of himself being associated with that despicable zombie organization.
It’s unfortunate that people in Gaza have suffered. It’s what actual war looks like.
A bit different to an “incursion” involving murder, rape, torture and abduction of your enemies. But there it is.
Return the hostages and it’s over. Whoops, no hostages left?

Albo competing against Whitlam’s legacy is perhaps understandable for a full-on narcissist – ish.
But, Albo competing against Fraser for the nation’s most destructive immigration policy is, is, just fuc*ed.

Yeah, a bit Seinfeld.
Stories about nothing.
Usually starts with some dramatic scene and then they spend six episodes pulling a dozen disparate characters together around that event.
Pedestrian.
Mavis is on the working draft as we speak.
And surrender. Israel invoked Article 40 Aleph, which is a formal declaration of war, for the first time in 50 years. That requires Hamas to surrender either unconditionally or by negotiation. The latter seems unlikely. The third option is extermination, if they want that.
Uh huh. Name them.
Now tell us how many of them were Hamas.
Were the jacarandas blooming in New Farm Park? Dick Ed posted a photo of them a couple of years ago that was traced to Peshawar. I hope the New Farm Park ones are still there.
Like Top Ender, I have a patent out on closing down the outstations and remote communities as the solution to most aboriginal issues. It won’t solve the entire diabetes issue; aborigines may have a genetic susceptibility to diabetes, and the fast food culture also exists amongst working-class populations in the rural townships, where diabetes is also rife. But it would be a start to a normal life and hope for better nutritional standards in the next generation.
Excellent. The Maggie Thatcher response. Always catches them out.

Interesting piece in this month’s Quadrant by Salvadore Babones, rehashing quite expertly the old saw that Marlow wrote Shakespeare. I dunno, maybe he did.
That was sooo funny.
While they’ve twigged that Nazi marches are now socially acceptable (since 7th October) the dull-witted country bumpkins wore straight black without any adornments of Palestinian flags or Keffiyah, likewise the drongs haven’t updated their banners from “Australia for the White Man” to “Israel = Genocide” “Gas the Jews” “Occupiers Out”
I commend them for marching & hope they do more of it, next time in the proper PLO uniform.

Long ago some doctors took some aborigines back to a traditional lifestyle. Within weeks their metabolic metrics showed huge improvement. Not just diet, also about movement but they appear to have a different metabolic response to carbs.
Until the current group of activists are removed from influence it is a lost cause. There are so many things wrong with their approach to the issues. When governments fail they are kicked out, when companies perform badly management and directors are sacked, when activists fail they get more funding; they should be sacked.
Funniest quote of the day !

The HC rejection of indefinite detention is based not on the Constitution but Australia’s signatory to international conventions. Remove membership of same and introduce laws saying that non-citizens who are not refugees and therefore do not face refoulement must be returned to their home nation, no matter that they face the death penalty or any penalty inconsistent with Australia’s laws in their home nation. Those who are genuine refugees, regardless of whether they have left a third nation of safe asylum, have committed heinous crimes and are not citizens, stay in detention.

I’ve heard a lot of hyperbole here on the Cat, much of which proclaims someone or other os worse than Whitlam.
But the proof is in the pudding.
Albo has put forward the voice to executive government (voice to parliament was a sales pitch, not the reality), the Digital ID (Big Brother legislation), legislation to destroy the sole trader, and the aptly named “misinformation” bill, which gives the government carte blanche to lie and punish truth tellers simultaneously).
Whitlam was a cowboy. Albo is a radical Marxist destroying free speech, privacy and freedom.
Albo is the biggest threat to freedom this country has ever faced.
I’ll concede Cats underestimating formerly harness Albo.
As Jordan Peterson recently said, “if you think strong men are dangerous, just sed what weak men are capable of”.
Remember, weak men operate in packs, under the safety of herds. Isolate and deconstruct. Or suffer the consequences.

Nuclear for Australia Founder William Shackel discusses how the world is “going nuclear” as he attends the COP28 summit in Dubai.
This Shackel guy is the lad who muted turtle on Q&A. He’s an odd looking young fella but makes sense on nuclear, although he still stays on script about global boiling which is why he gets in the room I guess.
As opposed to a long haired beardo hippee of the Hebrew faith, which were the only portrayals I ever saw him as when a yoof at school, back in the (cue spookee muzak ..) Nineteen Seventies.
Thanks very much, you brown flared trouser wearing idiots. Go and suck on the goon bag before trying to get it on with a braindead blonde bimbage from the States who’s experiencing some work experience in this stupid, stupid country.

OVERNIGHT in Cozy Lookout Tower (playing FEARS TO FATHOM)
Donald MacKay was unavailable for comment.
By Parliament (including the King in Parliament, firstly needing Parliament to assent, then assenting to Parliament’s wishes) accepting precedent and the common law, which predated Parliament, there has been legislative support for judicial independence. Criminal law often refers to the common law. Then there is equity as an avenue for relief and Roman law precepts coming from canon law even predating the Normans. Imposition of certain writs and rules like the mischief rule (arising from a suit in equity) meant that laws were impossible to enforce in part or whole; however, Parliament or the King had legislated for this to be so. Now the Court of the Exchequer that dealt with the mischief rule was a derivative of the function of the Curia Regis. Surely it was no longer part of the executive per se save for the Chancellor of the Exchequer (who seldom sat as a judge), but it absolutely had legitimate power to make these decisions.
Given the various Acts made in the UK and elsewhere creating the UK High Court and reforming the judiciary, adoption of human rights legislation or treaties and revision of administrative law; the idea that the separation of powers and judicial review not being real is a very weak claim.
Indefinite detention is a strange term. Can’t they voluntarily go back?
What about contempt of court?
The matter is really this simple. Most of the Migration Act legislation as it accumulates deprecates executive power. Deportation ought to be an administrative decision and parole ought to be judicially reviewable. Those two precepts would have avoided this whole sordid affair.

Had a great dinner last night and met an Argentinian dude who knows Milei.
He’s leaving NY this coming week for meetings with him.
I’d say he wasn’t optimistic about Milei getting his policies through because he believes the country’s institutions are so ossified and will prevent him from getting important policies accepted in the Congress.
Anyway, he promised me he’d tell Milei he has an admirer all the way from Australia next time he meets him.
I had to laugh, as his wife wasn’t enthralled about accompanying him to Argentina. She said she wasn’t looking forward to going to dinners at night at 10 pm and eating steak every single time. Apparently, it’s mostly what they eat.
New OT up.
Ah- Argentina.
Decrepit towns, aged steaks and young reds.
Heaven.
Regarding the appearance of Jesus (not the actual Incarnation but what as a human, he looked like), it is a well established fact that he looked exactly like most of the members of Supertramp circa 1979.

Well done in putting this up. It takes a bit to get past the first few lines and now throwing hte paper out in the bin in having to read this shit nad people thinkiig it is acceptable.
My take is that if you a caucasion female you are open slather for rape ande murder. Expecially if you are well groomed ,gracios and happy.
Thinking of all happy private school girls in particuar from teh English Schools – you are hte target.

In real life he lives by the Christian ethos all the while pretending he rebels against it.
