So Bruce, you have a doctorate in science and specialise in data analysis, i.e. secondary research. So have you never done primary science? Sounds that way to me from what you have said.
If you are not a primary scientist, you are not worth a penny next to the career of Fauci.
Data analysis is at the heart of science and doctors receive bugger all training in data analysis and statistics. As a relative who is a medical specialist said to me: medical research teams should have a statistical expert on the team. If you want evidence of that have a look at how often meta-analyses(eg. Cochrane reviews) reject studies from the analysis because of statistical and methodological limitations.
Heavens, its 2024 and there are still fools out there defending Fauci the fraud.
Hard to believe, Dover.
Bruce’s analysis of mask wearing and its efficacy back in 2020 was convincing to me. The nail in the coffin was the edict – wear mask while standing, take off mask when sitting and eating.
It was so dumb, so amateurish, so cruel, it smacked of the sorts of things torturers do to their victims. They know it’s false, you know it’s false, but they can and will exert their power over those they despise.
It exposed the true nature of both “experts” and their heavies.
Pandemic – obviously garbage
Border closures – obviously megalomanic, unconstitutional, and breached by the powerful
Closing airports, train stations and schools for “deep cleaning” because the batflu could survive for fourteen days on stainless steel- obviously idiotic
On again, off again schools- heartless
Monstering visitors to aged care facilities- petty tyranny
Closing doctors’ consultancies- madness
Keeping hospitals empty of patients for TikTok rehearsals- stunningly idiotic
Cancelling elective surgeries- chaos on crack
Policing fresh air and excercise- bizarre. And cruel
Outlawing hydroxychloroquine and ivermectin- alarm bells, Satan at large
Threatening the livelihoods of dissenting doctors- corruption
Saturation of coercion for the Clot Shot- outright evil

Last year on the All-In podcast, when investment in AI start ups went parabolic, Friedberg & Chamath pulled back the curtain on one their criteria for cutting a cheque for biotech or life sciences businesses.
Companies looking for capital had to be able to plug in one of the AI businesses Friedberg/Chamath had seeded/built into their data sets.
It helped shape their investment decisions on who they continued to fund & who they pulled the pin on.
This was their process since 2020 well before AI was making headlines in the mainstream financial media.
The Oz continues its coverage of the PsiQuantum “investment”.
It should be noted that the recent Australian & Queensland taxpayers investment has been the catalyst for some existing investors to “de-risk” their PsiQuantum exposure.
There are currently live transactions where parties are looking at partial sell-downs at the 2021 valuation of $US3bill.
What’s going to be difficult for the VC backers of PsiQuantum if these secondary transactions take place is do they value it at the 2021 $US3bill or the 2024 Australian taxpayer valuation which to date no one has been brave enough to put in writing.

If Albo & Husic were serious about quantum computing & not making risky bets with taxpayer money, they could have committed money to another fund under the Future Fund’s umbrella.
Aside from the Future Fund itself they manage five other funds.
The Future Fund would have then outsourced the management to parties who know what they’re doing.
A billion commitment could have made dozens of quantum computing investments.
Instead of being the bunnies propping up the valuation of just one company which didn’t need the capital, they could have done something which might have uncovered some real gems.

Your intrepid travellers have moved onto Bologna where we are out in the suburbs staying with friends. It is a welcome respite from the pressures of touristing since we arrived in Italy. The welcome from the extended family has been phenomenal.
We are right underneath the flight path from Bologna airport. As in, less than a minute after lift off they are roaring at 2000m directly over the house. I actually don’t mind it, they are flying all over Europe, to Morocco, Casablanca, Algiers, Amsterdam, Sardinia, Greece and sundry holiday destinations and it is where we will fly out to Palermo at the end of the week. It’s erratic, we had a couple of silent days, when the wind was obviously not favourable to take off in our direction, and there’s also a curfew so we are not being disturbed at night.
This is a new development, it’s ten years since we were here last and it was still a quiet outpost on almost the very boundary of the Commune de Bologna. Now it’s full of multi level apartments, a new main road has been constructed and the village feel, whilst not totally disappeared, has definitely been impacted. The country aspect is certainly no more. The local church though, sits, tucked away from the noise, surrounded by Linden trees that are in full bloom. Their scent hangs in the air, making it really feel and smell like Old Europe.
This was a traditionally working class neighbourhood, and the houses were built in the Mussolini era, primarily for the railway workers engaged in building and maintaining the stations and lines. They have survived well, extended and updated, and have a slightly alpine feel about them with full wooden shutters on the windows and doors. This means the rooms at night are totally dark… think cave… which I, for one, certainly appreciate.
We braved the autobus into Bologna city this morning. The city is no longer the delight it has been in the past. A bit more faded, less serene and picturesque.
Crowded with hordes of tourist groups battling for space, the facades of its loveliest landmarks criss-crossed by the visual clutter of wires that will support the new electric buses and a mostly unasked for and unwanted (from what I can gather) tram system due to be operational in 2027*. Aggressive beggars, a strong police and military presence on the streets, a Ceasefire Now sign hanging from the balcony on the Municipio building where Benito made speeches to the populace.
It all added up to a real sense of disappointment for me. The gorgeous church of St Petronius was worth a visit but was not enough to save the day.
The home cooked food has been a joy, and tonight’s bottle of red, labelled Vino del Cazzo, provided a fitting conclusion to our day.
*Hah! This is Italy. The new Theatre Complex boasting an opening in February 2024, is still shrouded in fencing and gawk sheets with a massive crane looming over it all.

What is it with the Nazi left and violence? I suppose it makes sense, after all, these leftist progressive Nazis are big bumboy/fanboys of Hamas and its violent tactics, tactics which include rape, decapitation, corpse burnings, necrophilia, slaughter and a bit of kidnapping on the side so that Jewish females, particularly young attractive Jewish females, are kept as sex slaves for perpetuity!

Who to believe? Headlines vary regarding top Japanese car companies and their plans for further development of petrol and diesel engines. “Nissan to stop further development” reads one, while over at Toyota they say they are working on new lighter petrol engines, and that they don’t expect the EV share of market to be greater than 30% any time soon.
Nissan has a brilliant V6, used in quite a few models – which makes sense – and has powered some racy ones like the 350Z and Skyline 370GT. The latter suffers from the “make it look tougher” syndrome! The earlier 350GT looks better. Not as snazzy as the 350Z, but very nice anyway.

Nigel Farage hit with milkshake as he launches election campaign for pro-Brexit seat
Nigel Farage’s election campaign got off to a sticky start after he was doused with a banana milkshake in the English seaside town of Clacton-on-Sea.
Some in the crowds shouted: “We love you!” while others called out: “Main man!” and “Go on, Nigel!” as the leader of the Reform party threw himself back into the political fray.
But by the end of his visit, not everyone had been won over. As he left a pub, a young woman threw a banana milkshake over his smart navy blue suit and purple tie.
Asked why she had thrown the milkshake, which appeared to be from McDonalds, the 25-year-old woman, who has been arrested for assault, told reporters; “I just felt like it.”
Mr Farage said the attack was “quite frightening,” before taking advantage of an obvious reference to the song Milkshake by Kelis.
“My milkshake brings all the people to the rally,” he told journalists while standing in front of Reform UK’s battle bus holding up a McDonald’s banana milkshake.
Until the milkshake incident, Mr Farage, 60, had up until then got largely a hero’s welcome in the Brexit stronghold, which he hopes to represent in the UK parliament for the anti-immigration Reform UK party.
As he strode towards the town’s pier, a large crowd including dog walkers, young mothers with children and people on mobility scooters, trailed behind, eager to hear what he had to say.
Mr Farage was in full campaign mode, a day after he dealt a blow to Prime Minister Rishi Sunak and his beleaguered Conservative Party by announcing he will stand in the July 4 election.
“Nothing works any more, does it?” Mr Farage told the gathering of at least 500 people to murmurs of approval, adding that he wanted people to feel free to be “proud to be British”.
“What we need to do is reactivate a people’s army against the establishment,” he added, casting himself once again as the outlier and the man to shake up British politics, particularly on immigration.

Aussie D-Day hero Richard Pirrie to be honoured on memorial
By jacquelin magnay
The first Australian to die on D-Day, which coincided with his 24th birthday, was Royal Australian Navy sub lieutenant Richard Pirrie, from Melbourne.
On Wednesday in Portsmouth, south England, Pirrie is to honoured, along with 12 other allied WWII veterans, whose names will be added to the special Normandy memorial wall to acknowledge the close ties between allied nations forged during that extraordinary land invasion which began the liberation of France and the end of WWII.
Eight decades ago this week, on June 6 1944, Pirrie commanded a spotter boat, called Landing Craft Support (m) 7 off Juno beach in Normandy and was in position as the massive invasion began on June 6 to identify and message back to the naval gunners on HMS Invicta of the German positions.
Fellow officer Lieutenant Eric Langford later remarked that because of Pirrie’s intelligence “on our portion of the beach not one of our troops failed to get safely ashore’’.
But Pirrie, who had played football for Hawthorn in the VFL, then struck a floating mine around the same time as being fired upon by sniper fire. His death deeply impacted his parents, Isobel and Richard and his five siblings Kevin, Andy, Peter, Jake and Jim, and a small memorial to him was reverentially displayed on his parent’s mantelpiece for the rest of their lives.

The civil service in the UK was slashed during the Thatcher years, an era that ended in 1989, over a generation ago. During the Blair/Brown years, beginning in 1997, the civil service was enlarged and politicised, and various ‘quangos’ were set up during those years. However successive Conservative governments since 2010 have done little to nothing to shrink the UK civil service and either wind back or abolish the quangos. There’s been no ‘conservative’ Thatcher in power since 2010.
It is the same here, statutory government organisations like the sinister AHRC should be abolished, not shrunk, not fiddled with, but terminated.

Sky News Daytime is running an extended piece about badly injured kids in Gaza.
A bit of historical context is, as usual, missing from the report.
For quite a while after Israel handed Gaza over to the Palis, there was regular access to Israel. People had jobs, or needed to go to some specialist hospital. That freedom was abused by the Palis firing rockets indiscriminately, not once, not twice, but often. So bad have been the abuses by Palis that Israel has had to go into Gaza several times, not just this time.
Then there’s the wall dividing Israel from Palestinian territories in the West Bank, some 700 kilometres of it. Why? Because Palis were coming into Israel and doing suicide bombings of shops, restaurants and buses.
Has Gaza always been an Outdoor Prison? No, before it became an armed camp there was plenty of scope for movement. It still has a seafront, and escape has always been possible.
Have Palis indoctrinated young children to hate jews, and dressed them up like Jihadi Warriors in Hamas Green? Yes.
But now, after Hamas/Gaza declared war on Israel in a more shocking manner than ever before, we are supposed to feel bad because people young and old are being injured or killed?
Lesson, which will never be articulated by western media or learnt by terrorists: don’t declare war and then whinge about the consequences.

ROFL. Monty you have just again proven how ignorant, uninformed and unintelligent you are, since in many years of accessing the Cat blogs you have somehow not noticed primary R&D science is what I do. And always have done from before graduation right through to retirement. I am not an administrator like Fauci, that’s shinybum work dealing with wretched HSEC rubbish and filling out endless forms.
Maybe you need to do that mental competence test they give old people, since you certainly have a very poor memory.
And you certainly do not understand science, particularly not commercial sector science, since in the private sector you have to actually demonstrate the value of a research project before you get any money from a company. Which means financial estimation. You also have to model it so that it is shown to be compatible with existing systems, or you won’t get an ok to proceed. Then to see if the lab program worked you have to analyse the data, and present it to management.
Love to see you in a lab. I am very good at it, and extremely experienced. Hundreds of lab projects. Then there’re all the pilot plants I’ve built and run. Dozens of various sizes. You have to do that to scale up stuff to a commercially practical level. And you wear overalls for that. In fact I can’t recall wearing a suit and tie ever for work. Ok tie a few times when I was unsure of the customers’ approach to doing things.
Can we talk about climate science again now? I love taking you to the woodshed on that topic, you are so ignorant. After a few years of trying I was amused when you shut up about it completely. Numbers did also. It was most entertaining.

There have been NO mass government privatisations in the UK since 2010, when the Tories came to power after 13 years in opposition. The privatisation of large chunks of British rail (and other services) occurred under Thatcher and Major. Blair and Brown didn’t renationalise British Rail.
British Rail is now collapsing but so is the NHS, and the NHS has always been government owned, it was never nationalised, even Thatcher was too scared to touch it. I suspect the problems with British Rail, the NHS and other services are various, but one of the biggest has been mass migration.
And imagine, there were a few here, who thought m0nty was a genuine, intelligent man with ideological convictions, but he proved to be a nasty vicious imbecile after all.

The NDIS was a feelgood proposal back in the RGR days. Labor and the largely complicit media used it to try and entrap Tony Abbott before the 2013 election. They dared him to say he wouldn’t fund it, and as a bonus, that he would reduce funding for the ABC. Abbott said he wouldn’t do those things, knowing that he’d be pilloried by the media if he didn’t fall into line.
I thought at the time he should have been a bit more weazle-wordy and said something like he “supported both but funding would be a matter for budgetary considerations every year”.
We all knew the NDIS was going to be rorted. It has taken a while but the inevitable has happened, and now has had to be recognised by all the usual suspects. Some in Labor have even tried the reflexive “but the coalition had years to fix this”. Don’t make me laugh. Even without that particular Albatross around their necks, the coalition got done over at the last election.

Yep. For a long time I couldn’t work out why they would collude with Chinese scientists and IN China. I finally realised it was because gain-of-function research into vaccines was banned in the USA – actually, under the Obama regime. This was a way of getting around the ban by ambitious and avaricious pharma scientists – &, some speculate, by the defence establishment.

No wonder I’ve avoided the NSW health system for a decade .. For several months I’ve been getting a “home nurse” visit 10 minutes/once a month to change my catheter inserted during a hospital stay, in lieu of an operation. ..
Anywayz, this week the “home’ folk got onto me cos, apparently, they need a quack signature to do what they have been doing, home visiting, or else it stops ..
So, makes an appointment to see quack (one thing I have learnt over the past 6 months everyone .. but .. everyone I go near, medically, wants my Medicare Card regardless of how trivial even the slightest contact* involved.
So today I get a text reminder from the quack’s about the “signature” appointment and the final line …. MASKS ARE COMPULSORY …..
Does this BAT FLU nonsense ever end …… FFS!
*Biopsy last month .. 2 anaesthetists & 4 doctors accessed my Medicare card as well as the hospital (twice) …… all for a 3 hours visit ..!

Unfortunately, the public servants and staff of statutory bodies have all been captured by interest groups, and it is much harder to reverse this than cancelling contracts.
See as grotesque examples the BoM, CSIRO, multiple environmental protection departments, the Yartz Council, Their ABC and innumerable others.
A US admiral recently argued that for every $25 the US spends on defense China obtains the equivalent for $1. A US senator recently held up a small bag of washers, $90,000.
I get a catheter change from “home nursing” once a month and one of the items, catheter retention bandage, really needs changing more often but they never seem to have any spares to leave.. soo down to the chemist and .. duuuh! .. $10 each .. soo F*** ’em I improvised .. checks EBay and the same bandage, same brand is 20 for $A20 inc postage ….. bought a pack …
Not a bad little mark-up for the chemist …..
Two very interesting stories over the last few days.

If I asked you, how much the BOM computers cost to upgrade, what would you say?
Answer – A $Billion, ….., yes, with a B!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T_H9fRqpXB8
If rational thought ever again occupied the Treasury benches, (spoiler alert, it won’t happen), $2Billion could be saved by making the ABC a subscription service and by abolishing the BOM.
A $Billion for computers to “misforecast” weather, even up here in the tropics, where it should be very easy to get it right, seems like a complete waste of taxpayers dosh to me.
The utter contempt this BOM authoritarian in the video has, for anyone who dares ask questions, regarding the results of this “no longer fit for purpose” burgeoning bureaucracy, exposes the empire building nature of the BOM.
Fair enough, they insult you at every opportunity so I can appreciate why you respond like above. There are people here who delight in insulting me. I’ve made it perfectly obvious I’m not politically aligned with them and disagree on some points so of course that happens. That’s what some political junkies do. Don’t care. My heuristic is if people have a history of insulting me I try to avoid reading their comments.
Funny, but Starfleet is a government organization. I never wore a red shirt. On the other hand Monty I have directly mentioned on Cat blogs who I had worked for several times, most Cats know. You seem not to’ve noticed that either. My jerb title was Principal Scientist. There, I’ve said it. Retired now.
In the lab it was also easier to just use overalls than lab coats since the various pilot plants were out the back. I wore out a lot of lab coats over the years as well.
That is absolutely hilarious! Credentialism? That is exactly what is wrong with science these days. And a lot of other fields, like journalism. And exactly the problem with Fauci. He can’t argue science and medical technology (nor can you btw), he was taken to the cleaners by politicians in the hearings this week. They ran rings around him. He’s a shinybum. An administrator.
But the fun thing is my credentials are impeccable, and I use that to get the foot in the door. Then I present the project proposal, with support data and analysis. The company then decides whether to do it or not. You’d wince at how much other peoples’ money I’ve spent over the years, almost all from shareholders at least, not taxpayers. A reasonable number of wins, but the odds are not high for such projects, about 5%ish through to construction. On the other hand the science is published and out there, and I know it gets used based on what companies are doing.
One fun datum for you Monty is my degree credentials are almost identical to a certain exceedingly senior climate guy. Be fun to debate him since I think I could take him, easily. He’s another shinybum. May’ve retired by now.
(Apology Cats for this stuff, Monty needs a bit of pruning.)

This is what I am talking about Bruce. You smite about how awesome your record is, how you have an impeccable 5% chance of success on your record (?!)… and then you say dumb shit like how Gym, Marge and the other GOP clowns supposedly wiped the floor with Fauci on the Hill.
The key exchange came when one of the reps hinted darkly yet again about emails that supposedly incriminated Fauci. Years later, they have never been produced. Fauci openly called her out on it. Response from the reps: nothing. Because they have nothing.
If you are impressed by that circus, it calls into question any credentials you might claim. You are a credulous fool.

Defence officials under fire on lack of recruitsBen Packham
Senior Defence officials have come under fire in a Senate estimates hearing over their failure to expand the size of the ADF while presiding over a 30 per cent increase in senior commander numbers.
Greens Senator David Shoebridge asked: “Is our defence strategy to frighten off our adversaries with gold braid? We’re going to glint them to death?”
The Chief of the Defence Force Angus Campbell told the Senate that the ADF was set to achieve just 57 per cent of its recruiting and retention target this year, but he was confident there would be “clear momentum” in tackling the problem by December.
Senator Shoebridge pointed out that Defence officials had expressed confidence every year that the situation would turn around, but the size of the force remained stuck at just over 58,000.
He zeroed in on Defence Secretary Greg Moriarty, who took up his role seven years ago.
“Why should this parliament have confidence in you being able to achieve the target this year when history shows that every year you have been secretary, you have failed to meet your targets and indeed, the ADF has shrunk?” Senator Shoebridge said.
But he said Mr Moriarty had achieved “in certain categories” – presiding over an increase in the number of one star and above officers from 189 to 254.
Mr Moriarty replied: “Officers do serious work”
Defence officials were also tackled over the confusion in ministerial ranks over the government’s new policy to admit foreigners to the ADF.
Defence Minister Richard Marles slapped down junior colleague Matt Keogh on Tuesday after the Defence Personnel Minister declared all foreign residents would soon be able to apply to join the Australian Defence Force.
Mr Marles clarified that New Zealand citizens living in Australia would be able to serve in the ADF from July 1, with the eligibility extended from January 1 to Americans, British and Canadian applicants, and later to Pacific Islander recruits.

All technological projects have a 5% chance to commercialization Monty. If you knew anything you’d know that. The rule of thumb we had was of 20 projects 15 are washes, three are break even, one is profitable and the other one is Microsoft. The trouble is you never know which is the spectacular one until you try all twenty of them.
The Republicans got Fauci to admit that (a) masks don’t work (b) the 6′ rule was produced from out of his arse (c) he funded the Wuhan lab and (d) Covid leaked from it.
Backflips with quadruple pikes are fairly definitive. I can’t recall if he got pinged on the mRNA “vaccines” or on ivermectin and HCQ. Which is sad since I’never ever seen a hexuple backflip with pike.
But keep on burning incense to the holy St Fauci in your cellar shine if it makes you feel good. He can join that nice Mr Lysenko when he’s dead.
Fauci’s malfeasance goes back to a time long before the Covid scamdemic, all the way back to the 1980s….to the AIDS pandemic.
Fascinating to watch the fat fascist fool munturd not just doubling down on stupid, but tripling down.
The hole he is digging will soon reach a virology lab in Wuhan.

After Covid: Now it’s the Lawyers’ Turn.
Concerns the judge in the Covid Dr Fidge vaccine GMO case not recusing herself and revealing her previous big pharma cases. She said a Dr who had vaccinated himself and his family and patients had no “standing” to be heard.
Moves on to have Parliament to investigate and Chief Justice been briefed about the judge involved.
Basically if the vaccines are Genetically modifying then need a licence. No such licence approved so therefore illegal and should be stopped.
BTW, if you want to look at the disaster the Tories have been since 2010 just look at the net migration figures. They’ve even been more gung-ho then the Coalition. And what do we find now, Starmer going harder re migration than the Tories have ever done.

In news from the “Home of the Free”, (no, not Ukraine, but the US of A), ex US Marine Intel Officer, Scott Ritter, was denied access to his flight to St Petersburg, to attend the annual “International Economic Summit”, held there annually.
In addition, his passport was confiscated by State Dept “Officials”, obviously, to spread peace and democracy, as well as free speech.
If Ritter was heading to the Farce Conference, no sorry, Peace Conference, in Switzerland in a couple of weeks, I’m sure he would have had no such problems.
Even Joe-‘we must show our commitment to Ukraine’-Biden, is NOT going to that.
Instead, he is sending the future leader of the free world, Kamala te-he Harris instead, because, he has a “fund raiser” to attend in California.
Xi is not going, Modi is not going and of course, this peace conference to end the war in Ukraine, didn’t even extend an invitation to one of the combatants. (How this works, is anyone’s guess, but I’m betting it doesn’t!)
No doubt St Volodymyr the Pure will extend his “hurling abuse” to all and sundry, to this event.
Should be a hoot!
And possible defections to Labour on the basis of Keir Starmer’s promise that his government will be a “broad church” with a place for Red Tories.
I wonder what the Trots will make of that?
the NDIS is a hyper woke bureaucracy. The industry attracts two types of ppl, the woke and the sharks. The sharks are inevitable as they can smell free money, lots and lots of free money with few strings attached aside from proving you are woke and can maintain a set of registers and woke policies and pass a woke audit every few years to show you are keeping your registers up to date and can recite your woke policies.
NDIS is setup to be parallel to the real world in every respect complete with gov attempt at creating market signals from meaningless data.
The “participants” don’t see any of the money it is all sponged up by the industry.
Now I understand how the homeless industrial complex in california can have so many billions thrown at it and the problem gets exponentially worst.
As far as NDIS I have never seen anything like it.

A legal battle to have graphic footage of a church stabbing in Sydney removed from Elon Musk’s social media platform X will be abandoned by the eSafety commissioner.
Commissioner Julie Inman-Grant confirmed the Federal Court case would be abandoned, after several blows in court and an attempt to temporarily force the footage to be hidden expiring.
“After weighing multiple considerations, including litigation across multiple cases, I have considered this option likely to achieve the most positive outcome for the online safety of all Australians, especially children,” Ms Inman-Grant said.
“Our sole goal and focus in issuing our removal notice was to prevent this extremely violent footage from going viral, potentially inciting further violence and inflicting more harm on the Australian community and I stand by my investigators and the decisions eSafety made.”
Yeah, right. In other words, she got her ass kicked. 🙂
Oh, and someone mentioned the BBC potraying Modi’s election win as a setback. Surprise, surprise, TheirABC is running exactly the same line. Spooky, huh?

And yet, Top Men in Gummint will be simultaneously assuring us that our standard of living is trending inexorably upward.
Of course, their measure of standard of living will neatly chop off the first couple of layers of Maslow’s hierarchy, and point to things like “cultural enrichment brought by immigrants”. (*)
The fact that pensioners have to huddle together in public libraries because they can’t afford heating at home will be held up as “enhancing community connection and reducing social isolation”.
…
* This measure is already in play. The much trumpeted “Most Livable City” metric uses “% of population born overseas” as a positive measure. No distinction is made between highly skilled Swiss tradesmen and tall machete-wielding chaps in singlets.
As Cohenite alluded to upthread.
Monty is asking questions and doubting BoN’s qualifications to opine on Fauci, fair enough.
Yet he and his lot are more than happy to follow the preaching about climate doom from a bloke whose main claim to fame is a more than passing knowledge of long extinct giant wombats.
Astounding.

And winning back the seats lost to the Torries in 2019, and for the same policy reasons voters turfed Corbyn back then.
The frustrating thing is that the very issues which caused traditional Labour voters to dump Corbyn should be core Conservative values. The opportunity to capture a new core constituency has been killed by the London based “progressive Torries”.

So we have 1 public serpent for every 9 people. Thats a lot of hand holding.

Previously they’d fight tooth and nail to protect their fiefdoms but a contractor is no threat. So will do what is required. Managing people to do nothing of consequence or relevance is easy, all the meetings held about nothing is like an episode out of Seinfeld. The ones that know get on with the job, the others have more meetings and claim to be leading or part of the team that got the job done. Un effin believable.

I know the BOM get some things wrong, but my experience is that weather forecasting these days is incredibly good. Rain forecasting is a ‘best-guess’ sure, and longer-term forecasting swamped in warmening rhetoric, but apart from that the wind and cloud cover and temperature forecasting is outflamingstanding.
Just the weather radar alone is incredible.
Cyclone forecasting is over-detailed so people can sometimes be too sure it will not come their way, but updates are constant.
The harm saved in actions based on good forecasts – eg concrete pours, or picnics…
Nah really, BOM are worth it. If they didn’t parrot fashionable lies they would be great.
Worth it.
Definitely.

We often hear now that there are more women at university than men.
I would be curious to see a breakdown by discipline. Men vs women in sciences, including engineering, for example. (I actually know quite a few female engineers but they are mostly Chinese and Indian and they really are that good.)
I suspect the drippy-wet ‘Sciences’, like gender and race studies, and the muck that comprises HR departments, are ridiculously numerous because:
Me dear old Dad used to work (part time) in the sallowed halls of academe (business, not that he thought it needed to be a university subject, but that was where they taught it), and he was progressively more and more disappointed at how far the university lowered standards and ignored academic propriety to keep that delicious, sweet foreign dollars coming in.
Like a government printing dollars which then diminishes the value of the dollars earned by the people, the universities have printed degrees that have diminished the value of those held by those who earned them.

I’ve been a tad busy but have listened to bits & pieces of the oral submissions in the Al Muderis v Channel 9 case.
Lehrmann v Channel has been raised a few times over the past week for both Al Muderis & Channel 9.
I couldn’t make head or tail of what Sue C was saying on behalf of Al Muderis re the Lehrmann case, too smart for me.
Dr Collins for Channel 9 referenced the Lehrmann case with the finding that someone could be less than truthful in parts of their evidence but that should not take away how truthful they are in what he viewed as the “important” evidence.
Also, both sides went out of their way to say how BRS defamation case ruling could not be applied to the Al Muderis case.
Considering how both cases are being appealed, I would have thought it would have been best to avoid both.
