Met Police’s Mark Rowley breaks silence after being caught on camera throwing mic on floor (5 Aug)

Sir Mark Rowley has broken his silence after he was filmed grabbing a journalist’s microphone and throwing it to the ground after leaving a COBRA meeting.

The Met Police commissioner’s move sparked criticism after the incident in Whitehall, London, on Monday morning (August 5). …

The microphone grab came after a Sky News reporter asked Sir Mark if he was “going to end two-tier policing”, in reference to claimed raised by some that right-wing and left-wing protests are handled differently.

London’s top cop reached towards the microphone, grabbed part of it and threw it to the ground before leaving without saying a word.

Oooh, we’re a bit touchy about that subject are we…?

This is probably why the Sky reporter asked that question.

UK riots: Police officer filmed telling men ‘stash weapons in mosque’ (5 Aug)

The officer was filmed in a video, which was livestreamed on TikTok, addressing a crowd of men outside the Darul Falah mosque in Hanley, near Stoke-on-Trent on Saturday.

Instead of arranging a search of the group to see if any had committed the offence of possession of an offensive weapon in public, for which they could be arrested and charged, the officer appeared to give them an amnesty.

Speaking through a loudspeaker, he is heard to say: “If there is any weapons or anything like that, then what I would do is discard them at the mosque.

“Don’t give anybody any reason to have any interaction with police, so if there is any weapons, get rid of them and we won’t have to arrest anyone.”

The clip, which has been shared widely on social media, has fuelled claims of a two-tier policing system between rioters and members of the community.

Steve Perkins, a former Met Police officer, posted on X: “The officer tells people to leave weapons at the mosque and nobody will be arrested. I can see why there is an argument re two tier policing.”

Another aimed their post at Kier Starmer and police adding: “With weapons yet no arrests, why?

“We see this as two-tier policing.”

Be interesting to have a look inside the mosque to see what they have in their basement.

Pain scale? I had it explained at Canberra Hospital, 4, panadol; 6, endone; 7, tramadol; 8, morphine; 9, ketamine; 10 fentanyl. GreyRanga pain scale, live on panadol and nurofen; 7, red flashing in head; 8 white flashing in head; 9, goes grey in head little pain; 10 black no pain have passed out. 7 and 8 several times a week, 9, every 2-3 months, 10, every couple of years. Endone does very little to nothing. Tramadol I take occasionally as it does nothing quickly enough except a few days ago the pain didn’t stop after a few hours so I took some. If I took painkillers every time I hurt I’d be a junkie. I’ve heard people say they wouldn’t have had orthopaedic surgery of all sorts if they’d known it was going to hurt so much. That means it never hurt much in the first place. Surgery is a last resort. My arm and hand surgeon said he only does a little bit at a time as the body responds better to less intervention. BTW I have the most extreme surgery on my wrist short of amputation. Its not quite right but 50 million times better than it was. Endone for a week when it still was working for me. Pain is relative. Get used to it. Psychological pain is far far greater yet very little seems to help. I don’t know how they cope and most don’t seem to. I’ve witnessed love for family having the best effect but its still not enough at times. I meant to say up comment that I take tramadol after I’ve had a particularly bad time but not until I feel a lot better and then that seems to be good for a few days.

“What’s the most ridiculous, desperate thing CNN could do to try to get out the $ 1 billion defamation suit against them?
This is it:

CNN cites Sharia law for their innocence in defamation suit, argue Navy vet is a criminal for saving women”

The above is a quote from an excellent piece at Ace, about a little known case against CNN. The filthy “media morons”, are desperately fighting against having to shell out ONE BILLION DOLLARS for defamation against said Navy vet.

Progressive Dems In Michigan Tell Undercover Journo They Were ‘Ballot Harvested’ Out Of Office By Muslim Voter Fraud Network (6 Aug)

While we’ve all been told there’s no such thing as election fraud, former progressive Democrat officials in Hamtramck Michigan say they were cheated out of office by the all-Muslim City Council, claiming in undercover footage from Project Veritas that secret “midnight meetings” were held where blank absentee ballots are auctioned to the highest bidder – who is then elected to office.

It’s getting even more blatant it seems. Let the most efficient ballot-stuffer win in November!

This situation has been going on for a few weeks.

Bangledesh PM resigns, flees country after deadly protests (5 Aug)

Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina resigned Monday and fled the country after 15 years in power. Bangladeshi army chief Gen. Waker-uz-Zaman made the announcement.

Hasina’s decision to resign and leave Bangladesh follows weeks of deadly anti-government protests in which at least 300 people have been killed, including nearly 100 in just the last day.

Last weekend a national curfew was imposed in an attempt to stop the protests. …

The demonstrations began in June by students who demanded changes to the country’s job quota system. Protesters began calling for Hasina’s resignation after police and military efforts to combat the protests turned violent.

Yesterday the state took down the cellular network in an attempt to achieve information control.

Something like half of government jobs are reserved for the children of government workers, and there are all sorts of other quotas. The recent expansion of the quota system got so bad that uni students had little chance of winning a job on merit. That’s when they exploded.

Sounds like the army has now tapped the PM on the shoulder…

Is Miles the dopiest Premier in Queensland history?

https://www.abc.net.au/news/2024-08-06/queensland-labor-state-owned-petrol-stations-state-election/104186768

Queensland Premier Steven Miles says Labor will establish 12 publicly-owned fuel stations if re-elected in October, with the sites to be determined by where competition is most needed across the state.

Mr Miles said the state-owned fuel stations would operate on a cost recovery basis and would sell petrol and diesel alongside electric vehicle fast chargers.
“Publicly owned fuel stations will charge a fair price for fuel, increase competition, and ensure Queenslanders have more choice when it comes to filling up,” he said.

He says they would operate on a ‘cost recovery’ basis, i.e. on a non-profit basis. In other words, they would destroy the livelihoods of the owners and employees of service stations that need to make a profit to survive.

Leaving aside the improbable nature of this brain-fart, way to lose the votes of thousands of owners and employees across the state.

As the great political analyst Bugs Bunny would say – what a maroon.

better times … no hats and no Sheilas

The demise of the hatted Australian is one of life’s great tragedies.

BTW, what happened to the experts here who predicted that the US was just about to split into red and blue States?

Texit anyone?

The Civil War Didn’t ‘Settle’ The Question Of State Secession (4 Aug)

For now, the Lone Star State seemingly has the strongest separatist momentum. In a June victory for the Texas Nationalist Movement, the Republican Party of Texas adopted platform planks proclaiming the state’s right to secede, and urging the legislature to arrange a state referendum question on the issue in the next general election. Many other states have secession movements of their own, and this July alone saw the launch of Free Louisiana and NHEXIT Now, the latter representing a rebranded drive for an independent New Hampshire.

Add in other initiatives like the roughly 2/3rds of Oregon counties who want to join Idaho instead, and have serious ballot initiatives to do so coming up.

See Nixon, Christine (“I had to eat”).

Am I the only person who thinks Nixon did the right thing? She did what she was good at. Imagine trying to put a fire with a dessert trolley.

Hmmm feeding croc’s at a causeway crossing, real smart now a father is dead though I’ll leave the obvious lack of experience of the north out, by keeping at least croc lunge length from any water up these ways. Article, others filming feeding the croc’s near bottom of the report:

Childbirth hurts. A lot. And natural childbirth hurts even more.

Unless you are very, very lucky. If its forceps then thank the Lord for epidurals. The agonies that women went through in past times simply don’t bear thinking on.

Mother Nature and Father Evolution have done some terrible things together. They only care for pushing things to the limits if it suits them. Hence female pelvis, upright stance and huge homo sapiens brain, even with overlapping bone sutures, is going to do some damage to female internal organs and tissues unless Lady Luck waltzes in to help. And everything then springs back into place again. Which it often does. Oxytocin, that kindly Nymph, then throws a dance party with your hormones and you forget all about it till the next time, when, after some biting contractions start, you look for the nearest caring human to blame. Usually, these days, the vitriol befalls that Evil Perpetrator known as a husband.

In my epidemiological search about my coccyx fracture suffered after an ice fall seeking the northern lights, I discovered that many coccyx fractures happen to women during birth, as well as fractures of the pelvic bone in front. Another set of childbirth terrors to add to the creation of fissures between vagina, bladder and rectum. Fissures can be repaired with modern surgery but in the past and in the third world still they still cause untold disability and misery. Catherine Hamlyn, working in the third world as a recorrection surgeon well into her nineties, was an Australian angel of charity. A worthy cause for your donations, imho.

Just seven?
How many unwra employees were killed in Israel on 7 October, seeing as how over a thousand terrorists didn’t make it home.
I suppose unwra will write off all those killed fighting the idf inside Gaza as innocent civilians.
Hopegully, those sacked workers will take up unfair dismissal cases with the relevant legal authority within Gaza.
Maybe Mrs Clooney will pro bono.

1 Demos lied about Hunter’s laptop which greatly influenced voting amongst independents

Trump paid Stormy Daniels 130 large from a Russian slush fund to stay schtum about their root while his third wife was suckling their baby. So I guess that cancels out.

LOL no it didn’t. It has been laughed out of court.

3 In all of the 6 swing states at the close of counting on election day Trump was ahead by 10s of thousands of votes. At the beginning of counting next day he was behind.

Trump before the election: hey my Republican voters, don’t vote by mail, vote on the day.
Trump’s voters: okay chief!
[Trump takes early lead based on votes on the day then, as was entirely predictable, gets mown down overnight by postals from Democrat voters]
Trump: what the… I don’t understand! No fair!!

There was no steal.

Nuclear part of profound debate between Energy Minister Chris Bowen and Ted O’Brien
Robert Gottliebsen

Prime Minister Anthony Albanese and Opposition Leader Peter Dutton are already skirmishing on environment and carbon reduction issues.
But that’s just a prelude to an emerging profound debate between the Energy Minister and his shadow counterpart. 
The government’s Chris Bowen is a professional politician while his shadow, Ted O’Brien, is a business person who rose through the ranks of his family-owned Toowoomba flour milling operation and then took its marketing into China. Later he joined the Accenture group in China. 
Chris Bowen communicates well and is no stranger to election contests but will always be remembered for being a big contributor to Bill Shorten losing the 2019 election because of a botched franking credits policy.
Ted O’Brien’s ability to perform in an intense public debate is not known, but he is one of the few people in parliament who helped develop a major family business (now owned by Goodman Fielder) and recognises the need to be backed by skilled people.
The Bowen-O’Brien contest might not only decide the outcome of the looming federal election but is likely to deliver Australia’s first detailed energy master plan.
O’Brien is vowing to put before the nation “well before the election” a detailed, integrated energy plan to co-ordinate wind, solar, hydro, gas and nuclear facilities, plus existing coal, to set achievable carbon reduction targets.
Bowen will harness all the expertise in the public service and the CSIRO in an attempt to blow the O’Brien plan out of the water. But that will require details of a rival Bowen plan. 
That will test Bowen because O’Brien is using his knowledge of business planning to put together what looks set be a unique plan for the nation.
The Bowen plan will rely on wind, solar, hydro and batteries to dominate the production of power in the next decade, although more recently he added gas to his power mix.
Bowen is a good political marketer, and given his public service and CSIRO backing, he will vigorously oppose following other nations down the nuclear route. 
Given that Bowen is the incumbent and O’Brien has the analytical skills he developed in the business community, if either leave out facts or make mistakes, both combatants have the firepower to expose them.
Already O’Brien has picked up Bowen when he ignored key costs in a renewables cost estimate. Politicians on both sides often leave out facts so this has the potential to be a rare high-quality debate about the nation’s energy future. 
Normally an opposition policy that included nuclear in the mix would be in trouble but young, carbon-concerned voters are showing increasing support for nuclear in opinion polling. And there is no doubt that the renewable energy program to date has boosted power prices and the cost of living. 
Bowen will attract many supporters for his plan. On the O’Brien side, people are emerging from the shadows.
Few are more vocal than one of our top nuclear experts, Dr Adrian Paterson, the former chief executive of the Australian Nuclear ­Science and Technology Organisation (ANSTO), which operates the Lucas Heights reactor in Sydney, which is important for nuclear medicine.
He asks: “Why are we as a modern democracy banning nuclear at the federal level and then a number of the states when low-carbon nuclear provides the cheapest consumer costs? It would transform and electricity grid which is getting … less reliable plus getting very, very expensive.”
Regarding a CSIRO report that claims nuclear will be too expensive, Paterson says: “CSIRO has no expertise in the cost of generation.
“What they do is take publicly available figures of the construction costs of nuclear power plants – usually in countries that have got regulatory environments that are kind of designed to stop nuclear – and convert them into a generation cost using an algorithm which is provided to them by a private sector firm that is not an expert in the nuclear industry,” he says.
“I’ve engaged the CSIRO for a number of years both directly and also through the press to say that we can work together to sort this out and they have no inclination to do it. People don’t know that to build all of the planned solar panels and wind turbines we’re going to have to double the size of the grid, which is 40 per cent of electricity bills.
“The eastern grid in Australia is the most complex machine in the southern hemisphere. The policy of this government is to make it twice as big as it is and twice as complex if you have to integrate intermittent sources into it.
“How do people believe that we can create a grid that’s double the size with lower energy density and still have the current quality of life?
“The current policy is based on a failure to get proper engineers in the room. Engineers are being banned from giving talks as we speak,” Paterson says.
The debate between the various alternative energy strategies to reduce carbon should have been held years ago. 
We wasted a lot of time debating whether we should lower the carbon content in power instead of working out the best way to do it. That’s what makes the Bowen-O’Brien debate so important.He asks: “Why are we as a modern democracy banning nuclear at the federal level and then a number of the states when low-carbon nuclear provides the cheapest consumer costs?

Socialism is all about stealing;
First they steal your votes.
Then they steal your guns.
Then they steal your food.
Last of all, they steal your lives if you don’t comply.

Prediction: the “Joe Biden” regime will propose to accept a half million if Jordan, Syria, Egypt, and Lebanon take the rest. 

Not going to happen.

Egypt has already stated they will not allow the Gazans over the border into Egypt. And just to make sure they built the fence on their border even higher, plus built a large prison camp for leakers.

As for Gaza civilians…

Report: Majority of Hamas battalions still intact, some have rebuilt (5 Aug)

So having knocked out something like 60% of Hamas combatants Hamas just filled up their battalions with “civilians”.

Thus will spill over, iirc in the UK it already has.
