One acre of hemp produces 25 % more oxygen than one acre of forest and guarantees a cellulose supply that is approximately twice as high.
One acre of hemp grows within 6 months, while a forest grows for decades before it is harvested.
By making hemp paper, we could save millions of hectares of forest every year.
Hemp can be used in textile production, construction and even as bio-fuel.
As with all things, produce it and its value will be reflected by its demand. Which will be very low.
Thus of course, industrial hemp will require government to ban the production of wood based paper, as hemp paper is shit in comparison.
that is even before you get into the regular surveillance requirements etc as industrial hemp advocates also tend to be quite happy to try and grow mull in the middle of it.
You’d think that government which originally made it illegal, would realise it has instead made the problem worse by its meddling. Perhaps government should just piss off and let the market sort itself out.
So how’s that War on Drugs going you stupid, stupid people?
“twice as high..”
I see what you did there!
The good old days, some people yearn for them.
No thanks, imagine living like that.
I suppose if you know no better it may not sound too bad, until you find out how the other half lives.
Not talking about the spinning of course.

In 1904, a mother in rural Ireland was captured teaching her young daughter how to use a spinning wheel, passing down a centuries-old tradition that had been an integral part of Irish life for generations.
The changes that girl would have seen had she lived to 75 years.
Awesome.
She would have sent her first husband off to the Great War, her children – any that survived the Depression – off to the second.
Heard of the first manned flight, flown to the US to see her great grandchildren in a 747.
Seen her first ‘talkie’ as a mother of 7. Heard the Beatles on the first satellite broadcast between the US and GB on a Television set.
Mark Twain and the man, John T. Lewis, who was the inspiration for Huck Finn’s Jim.
There is a nice story about him, he saved the life of three women when their carriage horse bolted, facing quite a danger to himself in the process.
Don’t say anything.
You’d think this sort of thing can’t happen in modern aircraft.

Oh dear boy! Dr’s are fully owned employees of the government now …. their primary duty is to (puts on best Forest Gump voice) “do whatever you tell me to sir…

After the hysteria about the so-called “insurrection” last time, the leftards couldn’t risk a repeat this time, with them as the insurrectionists.
I reckon the word has gone out to the “Community Leaders”. The Dems have decided that the “street theatre” is not effective anymore.
Musk merely points out the hard truths rather than the soft perceptions.
Farage represents an impotent protest vote. He’s not up to the task of pulling apart the undemocratic and permanent over-class set up by Blair and his clawing internationalists.
He was up to the task of skewering the remainers tho
What have Musk’s comments on the UK actually achieved?
Concentrated support for Farage
Highlighted the plight of Tommy Robinson
Lifted the rug on the enormity of pedophile Pakistani gangs and response of institutions
While sneerers in the UK can yap all they like about those rough men from across the ditch, their tightly held prestige is in tatters. This is a disgrace of galactic proportions, one that should topple governments and put so called “respectable “ people behind bars.
As for the perpetrators, Faustus makes an excellent point. There are thousands of these pedophiles still at large, unpunished. And it may well be that they are known to police but are somehow untouchable by virtue of their religion and ethnicity.

Never interrupt your enemy etc. in practice.
What an ugly age we have lived through and are still struggling to escape. Every scientific certainty was turned on its head, every moral convention was inverted and every economic practice was dropped. Ironic that the land of Lysenko are more attuned to truth than we are.

When I was learning Science, it was axiomatic that a change n input would result in a measurable change in output. Apparently not any more. After all the billions spent on ‘net zero’ and other fairytales, exactly how much has the temperature dropped? Not even a tenth of a degree. Not much of a return on investment.
But, but, but it’s not just about global warming anymore. It’s much broader than temperature. Haven’t you noticed there’s been more floods in outer Mongolia and fewer hailstorms in the PNG highlands? Get with it comrade!
Ah yes, but you dont understand what victory looks like ….(tucks more filthy taxpayer lucre into pocket)

He is the poison.
@OliLondonTV
British PM Keir Starmer finally speaks out about child r*** gang scandal and attacks what he calls the ‘far-right.’
“When the poison of the far-right leads to serious threats to Jess Phillips and others, then in my book a line has been crossed.”
So, verbal attacks on a political animal.are unacceptable, but child sexual assault is not worth investigating. Got it.
Der Starmer is a vile piece of pond scum.
The sound that Starmer can hear faintly in the distance is that of Tumbrils.
He is a frightened man and frightened men do stupid things.
How long will it be before Der Sturmer is being described as the “embattled PM Starmer”?
about the same time as it takes for him to have “the full support of his cabinet and party room”
He should be described as the Extreme Left Communist who protects Pakistani child rape gangs
Pundits on Twitter like Louise Perry talk about ‘racists’ as though it’s a pity ‘they’ got to the grooming gang narrative first.
Of course smearing the working classes is like breathing for elites.
Elites mix with higher educated professional immigrants, if they mix with them at all.
They haven’t had immigrants foisted on their communities, been exposed to the bad and ugly that is too much of muslim culture.
An Arab account on twitter talks about council stacking, infiltratration of the police forces, public housing bribery, single parents being pushed to the back of the housing queue, sharia no go zone’s, taking over the streets for public prayer, the removal of references to Christmas, Easter, even the Three Little Pigs in schools, oh and the rampant sexual abuse of minors while the real racists, Pakistani Muslim men, were allowed to prey on Sikh and English children with impunity.

Knuckles won’t be expanding the empire to Norkland.
The old Soviet Union had a similar attitude to denim jeans and pop music, these were often smuggled in at great risk. The rulers know that it starts with something inoffensive and before you know it the whole culture has changed. Like it starts with prayers on streets and ends with mass rapes of English children.
Does that include real woofers or just the sausage
In terms of covering up crimes, what Der Sturmer has been accused of in terms of covering up child sexual abuse is far, far, worse than anything CDL Pell was accused of doing.
When can we expect a Fork Orners session by Louise Milligan? Followed by a book written on ABC time, using ABC resources, and promoted by Their ABC?
Not likely as 7nilagain only writes fiction.
Is it even reported on the ABC? There is no way I would watch them to find out.
Crikey, exposing and discussing the mass rape of young, white working class English girls is deemed ‘far-right’ by the sleazy, sinister, crooked, adulterer Sturmer.

Crikey then, I’m far-right, far-far-far-far-right and you know what, I’m bloody proud of it.
And don’t think for a moment that the slug from Grayndler, Pong, Burqa, Islamist Husic and all the other merry comrades in Labor and the Greens would behave any differently to the sleazy, sinister, crooked, adulterer Sturmer.

UK Labour Party Determined to Stomp Working Class Into Serfdom (6 Jan)
RTWT, it’s an excellent and disturbing rant. I can’t see how the UK can survive another 4 years of Labour.
Last night, sitting on my couch watching a documentary, caressing my Burmese cat and sipping some nice Grenache wine, I received an unhinged text from an ex who’s now a friend.
This man has severe and rabid Trump derangement syndrome. It’s a psychological condition. He only gets his news from the ABC, even though it annoys him, he reads the SMH and Guardian and despite, since October 7 2023, he’s taken to reading The Oz and he’s had quite a few epiphanies, he still froths about Donald Trump.
Well, I put my documentary on hold and read the text. I was left both cold and furious. He knows I’m a Trump fan but he composed the text without even saying ‘hello Cassie’ or ‘how are you, Cassie’, no, no, no, he just went for the jugular, knowing I like Trump……
‘we think Trump’s despicability can’t sink any lower. And yet witness his whinging that US flags will stay at half mast (as per convention) for Jimmy Carter when he’s inaugurated on January 20. F*ck him.
Well, gosh, crikey, was I taken aback. His text reeked with both self righteous idiocy and naivety. Now, as many of you know, I am not one who is ever lost for words however I decided not to respond immediately and so I watched the rest of the documentary and only then did I respond as follows (I also dispensed with any courteous ‘hellos’)….
Gosh, I haven’t been following that story about flags, I’ve been more interested in the story that over 250,000 white working class girls in the UK were groomed and gang raped by Pakistani Muslim males….and this has been covered up by the UK establishment because they were anxious not to be smeared and labelled as “Islamophobic’. But you probably won’t see this reported on the ABC
I waited another ten minutes and then continued….
‘No fan of Jimmy Carter who became quite hostile to Israel and openly anti-Semitic in the years and decades after he was thumped electorally by Ronald Reagan. Carter was a weak and pathetic POTUS. Okay, he oversaw the Camp David accords but that was only because he was in the company of two truly great men……..Anwar Sadat and Menachem Begin.
I then waited another ten minutes, and sent him a link to a JNS piece from a few days ago which chronicles how Jimmy Carter didn’t just dislike Israel, he also disliked Jews.
Needless to say there’s been silence since I returned serve.
The Carter presidency went by in a kind of blur for me. I was recently married and going hell for leather paying off and renovating our first home – a “renovator’s special” circa 1914 that people would pay millions for these days.
My only real memories are – peanut farmer, relatives who were crooks, the Beirut hostages, the oil crisis. And then he was gone.
Subsequently, the usual “foundations” and Habitat for Humanity. And that peculiar photo of the Carters hunched in chairs with the enormous and obviously photoshopped Bidens.
A winning return of serve via a deep driving backhand just inside the tramlines. Game/set/match.
I was actually envisioning a rocket return straight into his mealy mouthed gob.
Burmese are the only cats, apart from big cats, tigers especially, I like. They like me too.
I just got back from a delightful breakfast with three fairly conservative teenage grandchildren.
They weren’t embarrassed when I called out my pleasure to a man at a nearby table wearing a pro-Trump T-shirt, and they were interested in what he had to say when he came over for a brief chat.
Baby steps towards normalcy…..
“I intend to resign as [Liberal] Party leader, as Prime Minister [of Canada] after the party selects its next leader.”
Pity he won’t off himself. Sepukku would be nice but any method will be acceptable, Justine.
Why wait, Justin? What possible difference would it make if he was PM or not for a few days? The country might actually get a breather before some other Justin-copy was sworn in as PM.
I have a machete in my Cyclone Emergency Box that I could blunt especially for the occasion.
We should not suffer any man to live who gets sexual pleasure despite, or because of, their victims being brutalized, or manipulated, or underage.
I’m serious, they should not be on the street, they should not be in the gene pool. Public executions are the only way. We dishonour everything we hold dear if we do not prosecute r*pe to the ultimate degree.
And if we can bring back the death penalty for these psychopaths- and they’ll always be with us, some cultures more than others obvs- we can impose life behind bars for anyone who assists, ignores, or apologises for them.
That’s pretty extreme Wally.
And an extreme position I fully support.
A good technique, “pour encourager les autres” (h/t Mark Steyn)
I am not an Islamophobe.
My disgust and dislike is well founded in truth, not irrationality.
And I will not be labeled by those who wish to destroy all I hold dear.
Islamophobe means fear of Islam. It doesn’t mean hate of Islam although that could be a consequence. Why is a fear of Islam so worrisome ? It’s a religion that aspires to jihad and war. Why should I not have a fear of it and its adherents?
The word has shifted in meaning. Having a “phobia” means an irrational fear of something or someone.
This blurring of the meaning can be traced back to “homophobia”, a slur against anyone who disapproved of same sex relationships. The new usage is purely political and I’m not having a bar of it.
They can jam their “Islamophobia” slur where the monkey jammed his nuts.
From the Oz:
Police have hauled a man before the courts after he allegedly threatened passers-by outside two Sydney synagogues.
NSW police arrested the 20-year-old alleged offender late on Monday night, with officers set to testify he leaned out a car window in the north Sydney suburb of St Ives to make a gun gesture at two men, the second of whom was standing outside a place of worship.
The threats were alleged to have taken place at 12:30pm on Saturday along Link Road, with officers from Kuring Gai Police Area Command arresting the man at his North Turramurra home. He was charged at Hornsby Police Station with stalk or intimidate intend fear physical harm.
He has since been granted conditional bail, and is set to appear at Hornsby Local Court on January 29.
Where he will be told don’t be naughty and now go.
Only his age has been stated. Does that mean every other description is too revealing?
Being arrested in that area made me think that the offender could be a scarf-wearer from a well-to-do family and the point was to protect them.
He’ll be on the roll at the court. Then we’ll know. If, at 20, his name is still suppressed, then we’ll know something else. And that something will be that the Rum Corps has taken a leaf out of the UKPlod’s book.
Shirley, they have degraded themselves to Gin Corps now,
Starmer keeps digging. What is he trying to hide?
He was DPP when Rotherham occurred.
No surprise that he doesn’t want any scrutiny.
Rhetorical question, Bruce.
But I suspect it’s more than just that.
I have decided that the best weather is the cool change after a heat wave.
What’s even better is when it’s accompanied by 15 mls of rain, no need to water the garden for a while. I think I’ll go shopping to celebrate.
I’ve been subject to about 100 dB all morning from seven hungry bluefaced honey eaters. They can’t feed on nectar because of the rain, so they’ve been coming to the Cafe instead. Very loudly!
I hope my neighbours won’t complain to council.
Browsing through the list of Oldham Councillors, I’d like to think the decision to flick pass the enquiry into rape gangs to the Home Office was made because somebody there realised the greater public wouldn’t have confidence a Council run one.
I’ve got to say I’ve always felt very worried about how I can watch something like Game Of Thrones or Girl With The Dragon Tattoo (which was rubbish, but i digress) and then compartmentalize it and walk away.
But the true details of the UK Paki R*pe Syndicates are too hard to ignore. And worse than the worst fever dreams of Martin or Larssen.
It would be wise to take a leaf out of the playbook of mega minds like Christopher Pearson and Tommy Robinson, crossed with the bonehead tactics of Say Their Name- like I’ve advocated beginning every press conference by reading through the names of the victims of the Oct 7 atrocities, read through a list of the names and ages of the English children.
Just saw the front page of the SMH online.

Digging another hole
The Albanese Government has reportedly burned its bridge with Israel so badly that a top Labor minister is packing their bags to fly to the Middle East for diplomatic repairs.
According to the Sydney Morning Herald, Attorney-General Mark Dreyfus is set to travel to Israel within weeks to mend the relationship between the Albanese and Netanyahu governments.
Tension has mounted between Israel and Australia in recent months after a spate of anti-Semitic and anti-Israel attacks across Australia — including the firebombing of a synagogue in Melbourne, and the repeated vandalism of cars and properties in a Sydney suburb well-populated by Jewish people.
Attorney General Mark Dreyfus set to fly to Israel to fix Albanese and Netanyahu government relationship | The Nightly
Israel when he arrives in Tel Aviv should put him onto the next plane out.
Hand him over to hamarse.
Why would he need to fly to Israel to fix a problem here? Albo knows how to do it he is just not prepared to take action, there is an election to win in south western Sydney.
How on Earth could anybody possibly believe that Dreyfus could ever fix anything?
The only viable strategy he might make is to say that the Labor Government’s hatred of Israel isn’t actually singling them out as it hates Australia just as much.
This is a futile action seeing as Labor is set to lose the election. After the election the new government can start anew with Israel.

Emma Garlett: I am sick of the date debate too
Emma GarlettThe West Australian
Tue, 7 January 2025 2:00AM
Comments
Year after year at this time, our nation enters a debate on whether we should change the date of Australia Day from January 26 which marks the arrival of the First Fleet in Australia.
It was also the arrival of generations of genocide.
January 26 marks the start of the massacres, oppression and systemic exclusion of First Nations people in their own lands.
Using this date as the date on which we celebrate our nation is a continual oppression of First Peoples.
It’s a celebration of invasion, the rape of First Nations women, the murders of Aboriginal people, of atrocities.
It’s a celebration of the Stolen Generations, of segregation, of control over Aboriginal people and breaches of our human rights.
When the British arrived in Australia, the land was declared terra nullius, meaning land belonging to no one. This was a lie.
The High Court overturned the legal fiction of terra nullius in the Mabo High Court decision in 1992, recognising the land was inhabited by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people all along, tens of thousands of years before those 11 ships entered Sydney Cove.
So why are we continuing to celebrate that anniversary as a benign “arrival” instead of recognising it for the invasion that it truly was?
And why do we continue to celebrate the beginning of a genocide, the most serious of crimes?
The date must change.
It’s not much to ask. Just a simple shuffle on the calendar.
But some would prefer to continue to oppress First Nations people by celebrating their dispossession; celebrating the ravaging of their land for economic gain at the expense of Aboriginal lives.
Every year we have this argument. Every year we see the same assortment of headlines and contrasting opinion pieces.
Companies announce their support of a change, in the name of inclusion.
Then they backtrack, pressured by the noisy minority into cowardice.
It is infuriating.
My whole life, I have watched as my people are kicked and trodden on and our respectful request for a date that includes us is ignored and ridiculed.
It is so upsetting.
As soon as the New Year’s Eve fireworks fall silent, it’s game on again.
It leaves us battered and bruised before the new year has a chance to begin.
Ironically, it’s this hurtful and damaging debate that brings most airtime to First Nations people and issues.
We’re forced to come forward to defend our request for a new date, to justify why we should be included in the celebration of Australia’s nationhood. It’s exhausting.
Our elected leaders can put an end to the merry-go-round. They have the power to make the change and leave a positive legacy.
Keeping the date on January 26 shuts Indigenous Australians out. That’s not what this country should be about. Celebrating genocide is not what this country is about.
Changing the date needs to go to the top of the agenda.
If it doesn’t, year after year you can look forward to me giving my two cents in a column like this one.
Choosing a new date for us all to celebrate is more than a symbolic action.
It would be an act of peace, inclusion and respect.
Emma Garlett is a legal academic and Nyiyaparli-Yamatji-Nyungar woman
Sounds great. I choose the date that James Cook claimed Terra Nullius for Britain: 22 August.
But of course she is a professional aboriginal, I never doubted it. Enjoying all the advantages, privileges and luxuries of the new world whole heaping calumnies on it. For that sort of mind-twist you need an academic.
If she had her way and still lived in her pre-European society she would be mistreated by every male in her tribe and then left to die when she could no longer keep up with everyone. There is nothing worse than an ingrate.
Something else this smart indigenous woman forgets is that every society and every civilisation on Earth began as a nomadic one and then evolved to better its people. This woman and similar thinkers are evolution deniers.
Anybody crass enough to point out Ms Garlett’s plight, pre settlement, doesn’t make it past the moderators.
Could it be the case that any person claiming to be of or from multiple aboriginal tribes is by definition a product of European culture because previously they could belong to one tribe only?
The swapping of tribes only happened when children were captured and adopted or when a girl was abducted in a raid – and they then belonged to their “ new” tribe – do I have this correct?
Emma, pick your date and then go about getting support for it. Then leave the rest of us alone in our Jan 26th glory.
“that every society and every civilisation on Earth began as a nomadic one and then evolved to better its people”.
It took outsiders here.
Yes, they never evolved beyond a nomadic lifestyle, regardless of Pascoe’s selective quotes.
And so it begins.
Crossie, are you confusing progress in material conditions with biological evolution? Aboriginals are Homo sapiens, like us.

Go west of the divide and yeah. Nuffin, even in some small towns.
That said I’d take a good road over mobile service any day. Quicker you traverse those areas quicker the better. Bad roads gets you into a situation I had last year nursing a blown diff seal, because of the Gregory Developmental rd, from Clermont to Roma before I could get anyone who could fix it within the day.
Ran the motorhome up the Bruce from Gin Gin to as far as Cooktown for 20 years. After the cyclones the roads were and still are superb. There are a few spots that require attention but the improvements have been outstanding .
Any Australian contemplating a vote for Labor after what has transpired over the last three years is hardly fair-minded.

Sub-optimal timing.
Somebody at UK Labour HQ is probably thinking of opening an artery.
Robinson’s artery.
Last trip to Qld on that goat-track mobile reception dropped out 80’s north of Brisbane.
Unless near capital cities or on major high traffic highways, phone coverage in minimal in Australia.
The Kalahari Desert has better mobile coverage than most of Australia.

Before Starlink
There are dropouts along the highway between Sydney and Canberra.
I assume you are talking about the Sydney Arts Graduates heading toward the streets of Canberra paved with gold?
For Gods sake, don’t give them a lift.
Even the ABC is unimpressed by Albanese’s announcement, reporting that the injection of $7.2bn in funding would “eventually take the highway to a minimum three star safety rating” and noting that “the RACQ warns the Bruce Highway upgrades will take decades and that there is no “end point” due to population growth.”
Once again it is demonstrated that Albanese’s Australia is one where infrastructure can’t keep up with immigration, driving us backwards.

This is why I asked yesterday that a Class Action be brought by the victims. To flush out these rapists, their protectors, and other victims.
But will anyone in class conscious Britain dare risk it?
I think they might Doctor. I’ve not seen so many people so angry in Britain. They’ll need good lawyers and finance, but I wonder if the Free Speech Union might get the ball rolling. After all, cancel culture and cover ups are a denial of free speech.
it would be a bit like the Subpost masters and mistresses.
This is exactly how the Left should be taken down.
No chance. The Pommy courts are fully captured by the Left, and special people will remain special.

Of course.
It doesn’t stop the attempt being made, and it doesn’t stop the people noticing how far the cover up extends.
I think things are changing Bruce, opening up. Everyone now dislikes the woke left and the Marxists.
The Five, apart from the Judge, are back and in this 11 minute segment show once again why Gutfeld is far and away the best social and political commentator bar none:
‘The Five’: Biden remains bitter to the end
The slimy Harold and the wicked Jessica should be jettisoned – they can’t tell the truth most days.
And re: the Farage and Elon/Tommy controversy. The tell for me is that Farage did not agitate about the mass muzzie rapes and the only reason this foul stain has been revealed is due to Elon. As skinzy as he is, at the end of the day Farage is still establishment. Elon doesn’t give a rat’s arse.
As for starmer, that bastard should be publicly castrated.
When I first tried to raise this rape gang scandal over a decade ago, I was accused by the Guardian of exploiting it for political gain. They should hang their heads in shame.

Compared to the main highway servicing my recently vacated property, the Gregory Development Road from Charters Towers to Emerald, the Bruce Highway is an autobahn.
It is a major rural route that carries a lot of traffic, mostly heavy vehicles. In parts it is so warped that to maintain a line requires a significant speed reduction.
The road was originally constructed by Joh in support of one his son’s get rich quick schemes. Parts of it haven’t been touched since.
This road services the area that keeps QLD afloat financially but is a long way from Brisbane and so is ignored. The Govt’s only interest in this mining and cattle money making machine is revenue. Why would they return any of that wealth by building safe roads? There are very few voters and no tourists. Shaddup and pay peasants!
Sorry, emotional about this matter.
Agree 100% especially south of Belyando Crossing. Drove it last week and heading back up that way next weekend.
Carnarvon Developmental rd near Rolleston is just as bad.
Around Auguthella, the road is crook that my DVD player skips and jumps. It’s an aftermarket Kenwood jobbie with 5x oversampling.
Three years ago, it was so bad, I had a (L) retinal detachment from the corrugations/potholes in one section.
Stuck to 75/80 km/hr with underinflated tyres in the hope it didn’t repeat on the way back.

You can see the faggotry front and center of the attached image.
Thanks Rosie. Saw the trailer last night and was interested in the drama and intrigue – but certainly not now.
Megyn Kelly thrashes it on her podcast. She absolutely loathes it.
On December 6, 2024, Senator Tom Cotton (Republican of Arkansas) introduced a bill in the Senate to replace “West Bank” in all federal documents with “Judea and Samaria,” noting, “The Jewish people’s legal and historic rights to Judea and Samaria go back thousands of years. The US should stop using the politically charged term West Bank to refer to the biblical heartland of Israel.” His bill matches a House bill introduced earlier this year by Representatives Claudia Tenney, Randy Weber, and Anthony D’Esposito.
Yes, they are the Jewish names but also the world’s. In 1947, the United Nations General Assembly voted for Resolution 181, a.k.a. the Partition Plan, a document that referred to “Samaria and Judea.” There was no reference in it to any territory called “West Bank.”
Inventing the ‘West Bank’ – American Thinker?
Albo’s going to have to try harder to sound like a leader. Complaining about Dutton and the coalition “saying no” too often is weak and anti-democratic.
Not sure who thought it was a good idea to send Albo out into regional Queensland, even with $7bn of potential borrowings. The Liars need to be in KRudd 2.0 mode and filling sandbags. Albo’s glass jaw on display apparently.
A very good summary of the Farage/Elon/Tommy brouhaha:
Tommy, Nigel, and Elon | Frontpage Mag
Excerpts:
The fact is that by setting themselves so firmly against Tommy, Nigel and Tice alienated a hell of a lot of voters, some of whom began asking: is Nigel leading a real revolution, or is he just controlled opposition? Tice’s “all of that lot” putdown drew furious comments online: “Tice & his demonization of Tommy is making me consider revoking my membership.” “Richard thinks he can have a grass roots movement without the grass roots.” “The problem is, if they keep saying we don’t care about Tommy, they actually don’t care about freedom of speech.”
Nigel decried the grooming gangs’ predations – but instead of admitting that these predations are a distinctively Muslim phenomenon, rooted in the doctrines of Islam, he spoke about “the mass rape abomination.” Sorry, but to dodge the real issue in this way is cowardly and useless.
Elon’s tweets:
If it’s acceptable for British politicians to kneel for George Floyd, why is it not acceptable for American citizens to tweet about the victims of British rape gangs?
If it’s acceptable for Labour to send 100 staff to the US to campaign for Kamala, why is it not acceptable for American citizens to opine on British politics?
If it’s acceptable for Labour’s leading politicians…to slander Trump as racist, why is it not acceptable for Americans to criticise British politicians for the systemic betrayal of British children?
If it’s acceptable for Westminster elites to praise Biden/Kamala, why is it unacceptable for American elites to praise Farage?
Tall order.
Perhaps the luvvies at NIDA should offer him a few lessons in the dramatic arts.

Albo has always been more popular with people who have never met him. In the words of another high profile Liar the mob have worked him out.
The dying media thought Least Said, Soonest Mended would work.
That is outstanding work by Matt Goodwin showing how disgustingly biased the establishment -media, politicians, bureaucrats and the law – is when they did nothing about the muzzie rapists.
Very well done, Matt.
But there’s a very ugly truth slowly sticking its head above the grave of British society – and it’s one labelled “Class”.

Successive Coalition governments have ‘failed’ to fund the Bruce Highway (Sky News, 7 Jan)
Hey Tim, I seem to recall that Labor ran Queensland for the last 9 years until very recently, and you’ve been running the nation for the last three years. Yet your ancient predecessors are to blame for the Bruce Hwy being a goat track? Pull the other one son, it has baseball bats on.
They HAVE funded the Bruce, spending money where Qld asked.
I’ve only been as far north as Bundaberg, and the stretch Gympie to the turnoff is abominable, just as the Pacific Highway was before the Feds threw billions at it.
My 86yr old mother rang and said her car insurance was going from $1342 to $1611 with Budget Direct. Last year I checked and the $1342 was around the market. This year I checked and GIO was $723.11 and the policy was better in a few respects. Slightly lower excess, slightly higher insured figure and windscreen damage protection.
I cannot understand it but will take it. Please shop around
I was with them once; never again.
It amazes me that Budget Direct keeps getting consumer awards.
There is a good reason they are cheap. Anecdotally their claims process is abominable.
As long as they have quirky ads on TV, that’s all that matters.
Has she considered Australian Seniors Insurance? A big advantage with them is the ability to get a premium based on the estimated number of km to be driven over the coming year. If your mother doesn’t drive much she could save a lot of money. I changed over from RACQ a couple of years ago, and my premium halved.
My car insurance with Woolworths is based on the klm you do in a year . It is cumulative so based on 6000 K per year my policy over a few years has remained almost static . We still have about 15000 KLM up our sleeve this year due to only local use.
Roger January 7, 2025 9:14 am
The only thing that any sort of halfway adequate explanation of his behaviour is that he was a customer of one of these gangs of rapists. Not a five quid an hour customer, but a very high level customer of a gang that is now pulling his strings.
I cannot think of any excuse that allows his continued denial of the abuse to continue.
And if that’s the case, how many other members of the aristocracy are ensnared?
An Epstein Gang, perhaps?
I don’t think so, Winston.
What he’s hiding is the extent to which the Labour Party at the council level and higher covered this up for the sake of political expediency.
I’m wondering how far the political expediency goes.
There have been too many quiet noises from the cupboard holding the skeletons of Epstein, Randy Andy, etc.
It deserves a looksee.
But I shudder to think of the social conditions that will have to emerge before there is a genuine inquiry into those mysterious rattles from the cupboard.
“Hamas refused to say who on the list was still alive”.
Err … if they’re dead, they’re not hostages.
I wouldn’t pay for the Sydney Morning Herald on principle but have just seen a neighbour’s copy. On the front page is an article about misconduct (of all types) by state school teachers and principals. The latest stats 268; teachers, 52 school execs and 59! principals under investigation, 25 teachers and one principal sacked for sexual misconduct) come, so the report reads, ‘five years after a damning auditor-general report found major flaws in the way public school teachers are monitored across the state’s 2200 public schools.’
So, yet again, where was the Gillard-McClellan royal commission in all of this? Keir Starmer didn’t invent two-tiered justice.
Old Lefty, it would be wise to get a couple of copies of the Sydney Morning Herald, for mundane purposes like lining the cockatoos cage, the dog kennel, and next time there’s a date roll shortage.
If you don’t look you don’t find.
No fan of the British aristocracy but I don’t think that’s it.
What he’s hiding is the extent to which the Labour Party at the council level and higher covered this up for the sake of political expediency.
If the truth was revealed, Labour – which purports to represent the working class – would be finished.
Roger – respectfully – would you allow any of the British Parliament/Aristocracy, to babysit any of your children?
I’ve seen far too many of these “Pillars of Society” and what they get up to when they aren’t being watched like a hawk.
At least this rape scandal has rendered the term “white privilege” risible. Throw it back in progressives’ faces.
Finally
An influential Labour Party group has broken with the Prime Minister to back calls for a national inquiry into the grooming and rape gangs.
The Blue Labour outfit said that a new inquiry was necessary to “give voice to the many thousands of forgotten victims,” in what they described as “the worst series of atrocities that have taken place in Britain since the war”.
https://www.gbnews.com/politics/labour-breaks-party-back-grooming-gangs-inquiry
Err … if they’re dead, they’re not hostages.
Humans who are abducted and murdered and never returned are hostages in a very real sense.
hamass and all the other mussie groups are experts in extracting the maximum despair from the hostage families. Dead or alive the psychological effects are very similar
We are forever hearing the luvvies talking about closure for families of missing and presumed murder victims, The same applies to families of hostages.

Browsing through the list of Oldham Councillors, I’d like to think the decision to flick pass the enquiry into rape gangs to the Home Office was made because somebody there realised the greater public wouldn’t have confidence a Council run one.
There are enquiries and there are enquiries. Don’t forget how in the Democratic People’s Republic of Victoriastan we had an enquiry into the lockdowns. The commissioner was hand picked by the ALP and had no power to cross examine under oath i.e making witnesses subject to a charge of perjury. She sat politely listening to a conga line of liars claiming that they couldn’t remember anything.
If either the Oldham council or the British government is forced into holding an enquiry, it will be very similar. Don’t expect and earth shaking results.
Roger, a quick glance at lotocoti’s link to one Council was quite suggestive.
Family members, associates may have been involved. An excellent motivation to suppress too many questions. In some cultures, the crime is less bad than the exposure.

How on Earth could anybody possibly believe that Dreyfus could ever fix anything?
There’s a Yiddish expression which translates as someone or something being as useless as cupping a corpse.
That will describe Dreyfus’ efforts perfectly. I’m sure the Israelis can recognise a class traitor when they see one. Albo might as just as well send Wenny Pong for all the good Dreyfus would do.
I still fully expect Dreyfus to be swallowed by the Brittany Blob at some point. Being the AG when that $2,4m payment was made was not a career enhancing moment.
Because if it is recognised as an “invasion”, then by High Court ruling, Native Title was extinguished by said invasion.
Silly j’ismists (BIRM).
Q- Why is the Labor party opposed to the live sheep trade?
A – They are afraid too many of their supporters will end up on the ships.
I think Starmer and his cronies are rightly terrified of the civil war that would break out if the law was equally applied to the Mohammedans. They would riot, prompting counter-strikes from the oppressed white working class – all leading to widespread bloodshed. They’d rather continue with the quiet replacement strategy that led to a darkie PM.
the bloodshed will come anyway once the mohammedans have the power
What price “non-discriminatory immigration” now? Like many leftist policies it all turns into shite down the track.
Cronkite at 11:38:-
I was just about to post on what I thought was motivating Musk when I saw this, particularly the bolded section.
I think that, along with EU f-ckwits threatening to regulate and ban X-Twatter and fine Musk his entire net worth times pi r squared, has fired him up.
I am reminded of the TV series “Absolute Power” where the Stephen Fry character (Charles) asks his business partner (Martin):-
Charles :- “What am I not, Martin?”
Martin :- “You are not to be f-cked with, Charles.”
Charles :- “Precisely.”
Starmer is finding out that Musk is not to be f-cked with.
Not a Stephen Fry fan, but Absolute Power was brilliant. John Bird was a standout.
State institutions were specifically excluded by the Terms of Reference.
In other words, it was a stitch-up.
There is no doubt a fear of civil unrest but in fact the law has been applied to a majority of the offenders who now languish in prison.
What the British public is missing is an inquiry that takes into account the political side of the whole affair, including the politicisation of the various police forces involved.
I doubt that anywhere near a majority of the offenders has faced a court.
Could you clarify that for me as I appear to be a little confused by what you are implying.
Has it, though?
How many have been jailed for more than five years?
Against a background of hundreds or thousands of gang rapes over 20-30 years?
I strongly suspect a few fringe players have been shoved under the bus when it got too hot, and most ring-leaders are still plying their trade, albeit a little more carefully.
Following on from my observation that people of aboriginal genetic heritage are only ever identified as proud hyphen-people when it’s a success story or a lecture- never when it’s a story of crime-
-why are people of aboriginal genetic heritage always hyphen-people? You never hear of someone being a straight single First Nation.
Posited answers-
-entry into British Australia completely busted open the tribal micro-clans
-multiple First Nationses are nominated to make the omission of a non-First Nationses genetic heritage less noticeable
Whilst not alive, the corpses of dead Jews held by the Nazis in Gaza are ‘hostages’ of a sort.
On October 7 2023, not just content with raping, decapitating, murdering and kidnapping, the Nazi Gazan scum also took the bodies of dead Jews they had just butchered back into the shithole that is Gaza. And since then, of course, many more Jews held hostage in Gaza have died.
Jewish religious law dictates we give our dead a proper Jewish funeral, so that the souls of the dead can finally find peace. The tragedy of the Holocaust is that millions of victims don’t have a resting place, the ashes and bones of Jewish men, women and children are scattered across Europe.
I and every other Jew want those Jewish bodes held in Gaza returned. Their families need to say Kaddish.
Let’s say “a significant number” then.
“Significant” equates to what percentage of the actual offenders?
Surely, to be significant, the number should be more than half?
Gillard-McClellan royal commission
Designed from its inception to target the Catholic Church and to get Pell.
Another spectacular failure of the new Abbott government in 2013, one of its first actions should have been to widen the terms of the royal commission. But instead Tone and co played nice.
For some reason, certain outback communities were off the radar?

Cassie I would have thought you knew the rules that apply to the leftist scum don’t apply to the right.
Yes he really sticks to those effete poms.
Having coffee this morning (I usually do a few NYT puzzles) heard a thirty something female at the next table seeking support from a pale stale male (who must live awful close to me) for some new political movement going to have a tilt for the next federal election.
Extremely irritating as I’m sure it’s another lefty climate gimmigration lot.
Local lib hung on by a few hundred votes last time but honestly I expect him to return comfortably in the next.
I did not want to listen so took myself off thinking pleasant thoughts about how the last few Labor candidates they’ve thrown at the electorate have crashed and burned.

And the issue of consent is an interesting one.
Apparently the left leaning can ignore age of consent laws.
Again and again there are people arguing that girls aged 11 12 13 14 are capable of consenting.
Interesting how the interests of muslims and the progressive left can and do align.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paedophile_Information_Exchange
It is not the age of consent that confounds the agents of cultural enrichment.
It is the very idea of consent.
The left and the MSM (but I repeat myself) already told you – JD Vance is weird.
Why would you listen to someone who is weird?
Unless you are weird yourself.
QED, Sancho is weird.
I rest my case, m’lord.
Pardon, what did you say?
Watching SBS Movies whilst having lunch. Halfway through a modern retelling of Oliver Twist. Sir Michael Caine as Fagin.
A very interesting switch is Lena Heady as Sikes. It really works. Watching her character, you can absolutely believe her beating the shit out of half a dozen Brit Bobbies and torturing and killing members of her own teenage gang.
Sir Michael looks like he’s having a ball!
If film makers want us to believe that a woman can be as tough and brutal as a bloke, they need to use actresses such as Lena Heady a hell of a lot more often.
She rocks.
She can lean on me for some heady any time.
Quite so.
But it would be a mistake to negotiate as if there is no difference.
Because, if they do, all they will get back will be dead bodies.

So the obviously bent Canadian GG granted Trudeau’s request to porogue Parliament seven days before a no confidence motion and three months before an election date, leaving him in power without scrutiny.

Yes, that’s why I don’t bother watching them any more. It usually takes them an hour to say what could be said in ten minutes, and this one takes 51.5 minutes.
They may be correct but they are also in love with their own voices and themselves. And that to me is a real turn off..
Why are medical centres asking if we have “cold or flu-like symptoms”? Isn’t that their business, and isn’t COVID finished for panic purposes?
Secondly, why does Medibank have no problem at all giving us two pairs of glasses per annum but shies away from shelling out much at all for annual dental checkup, x-ray, etc? If you’re on top cover it would seem to be in their interests to do the dental – which is preventive.
Israel vs the World: Jonathan Sacerdoti and Einat Wilf on the battle of lies and hate against Israel
In the video, Jonathan Sacerdoti and Einat Wilf discuss the challenges faced by Israel in the global arena, particularly in regard to misinformation and anti-Israel sentiments. They describe a recent debate at the Oxford Union, highlighting the hostile environment and biased reactions that seemed to frame Israel as an apartheid and genocidal state. Both speakers reflect on how entrenched anti-Israel ideologies have become, likening it to a political strategy used to delegitimize Israel internationally. They argue that the bias is not just academic but pervasive in media coverage and public discourse. Wilf points out that many people, including Jews, have begun associating Zionism with evil due to effective propaganda. She highlights the importance of addressing the “placard strategy,” which links Israel with negative ideologies, and stresses that the real battle lies in changing public perception. Sacerdoti emphasizes the importance of factual data to counter these narratives. He shares his experience from the Oxford debate, noting that even evident truths about aid to Gaza were dismissed through visceral responses rather than intellectual discussion. The conversation suggests that Israeli advocacy should focus on exposing such biases and encouraging a broader understanding of the motives and actions of Israel’s opponents. Both speakers foresee the potential to change the narrative by involving Arabs and Muslims who support Israel, challenging the predominant anti-Zionist viewpoints. In the Q&A, they highlight the need for strategies that address not just vocal critics but also the broader, quieter audience who might be swayed by visible misrepresentations. They conclude that long-term victory will be when equating Israel or Zionism with racism or aggression becomes socially unacceptable.
Duelling State, Federal campaign risks confusing WA voters, Electoral Commissioner Robert Kennedy warnsDylan CapornThe West Australian
Mon, 6 January 2025 11:53AM
A Federal election campaign overlapping with WA’s poll would lead to significant voter confusion, the State’s independent electoral commissioner fears.
Speaking to the media at the launch of the WA Electoral Commission’s election advertising campaign — Your vote goes a long way — commissioner Robert Kennedy said his organisation has been working with the AEC or the past six months to prepare for an early Federal poll.
Amid uncertainty over the Prime Minister’s choice of election date, Mr Kennedy also recognised the Commission would be liable for additional costs if the March 8 State election had to be moved for a federal poll.
Suggestions last year the Prime Minister would call an election in concert with the State poll prompted revelations Premier Roger Cook had sought legal advice on shifting WA’s election date.
Refusing to be drawn on the legal argument around moving the date, Mr Kennedy said the WAEC and the AEC had been working through scenarios over election scheduling for most of last year.
“We’ve certainly been doing a lot of planning and scenario preparation for the Federal Election falling around our time,” he said.
“One of the big concerns from my point of view is that our message gets lost in amongst the Federal discussions, and it makes it hard to get the message out to electors.
Sorry, if you are too stupid to know the difference between a Federal and State election, you should never be allowed to vote…

A Federal election campaign overlapping with WA’s poll would lead to significant voter confusion, the State’s independent electoral commissioner fears.
Speaking to the media at the launch of the WA Electoral Commission’s election advertising campaign — Your vote goes a long way — commissioner Robert Kennedy said his organisation has been working with the AEC or the past six months to prepare for an early Federal poll.
Amid uncertainty over the Prime Minister’s choice of election date, Mr Kennedy also recognised the Commission would be liable for additional costs if the March 8 State election had to be moved for a federal poll.
Suggestions last year the Prime Minister would call an election in concert with the State poll prompted revelations Premier Roger Cook had sought legal advice on shifting WA’s election date.
Refusing to be drawn on the legal argument around moving the date, Mr Kennedy said the WAEC and the AEC had been working through scenarios over election scheduling for most of last year.
“We’ve certainly been doing a lot of planning and scenario preparation for the Federal Election falling around our time,” he said.
“One of the big concerns from my point of view is that our message gets lost in amongst the Federal discussions, and it makes it hard to get the message out to electors.
Sorry, if you are too stupid to know the difference between a Federal and State election, you should never be allowed to vote…

What the hell Zulu, are you running some sort of “post early, post often” campaign?

One thing that I did NOT have on my 2025 bingo card is Cassie talking about her pussy.
Just last week she talked about having her boobies out. Shocked I tells ya.
You leave Cassie’s pussy out of this.
It’s not that kind of blog.
It’s quite cold in Sydney today. So much for global boiling.
It’s very chilly here in outer Goulburnia. I’m thinking it’s a good thing I haven’t put away the Gas heater. 😀
Also been raining since the storm last night.
By contrast Perth has just done the usual humid for hot swap. Perth weather is nothing if not predictable.

Anthony Albanese has called for four-year fixed terms for the federal government, conceding that the existing system of elections every three years or earlier is too short.
Of course he does.
And I say….absolutely not. Fixed four year terms always favour the left and they’re a nightmare under the Westminster system. Unlike in the French and US electoral systems, there is no circuit breaker.
Say NO to fixed four year terms.
Same me, all it does is benefit left leaning agitators.
Wrong time for Albo to release that mangy squirrel. Mr 32% is not bringing anybody with him on anything.
Hmmm.
The progressive left around the world are simultaneously advocating:-
1. That consent between adults be almost in contractual form, must be sought for each sexual contact and re-affirmed during each contact; and
2. Thirteen year olds can give legal consent by simply not objecting.
Not.
Legally.
Possible.

My question was why do they cover two pairs of glasses per annum completely but get shy when it comes to dental checkups and x-rays.
Well, I was going to ask why you were clogging the blog with self-evident truths.
But I didn’t.
You know, in a world full of Starmers and Luigis, I am OK with being called a weirdo.
Better to be ‘weird’, Sancho, than depraved.
I think it was Cronkite who linked to a clip of “The Five” upthread, where Greg Gutfeld talked about the “Trump Effect”.
I think it is real.
When confronted with obvious gaslighting, people now feel emboldened to simply say “Hey, that’s bullshit and I don’t give a fat rat’s clacker what ‘phobia label you try to stick on me for saying so.”
All of a sudden, Starmer squealing about “the Far Right” sounded just a tiny bit hollow and desperate, and it isn’t shutting anyone up.
It has worked for a generation but almost overnight, put-downs like that have lost their mojo.
The orange Hercules again.
Hard to say whether Trump is cause or effect. On balance, I would say cause.
“You know, in a world full of Starmers and Luigis, I am OK with being called a weirdo.”
You’ve got a point there (but if you comb your hair right, no-one will notice)
Starmer looks like one those pigs from the cartoon version of Animal Farm.
Oh yes! Good get!
My Burmese cat is champagne coloured. He’s quite a character and very intelligent.
I didn’t know they came in that colour. Our red was the party animal, always ready to meet and greet, escape when possible. Nothing much bothered him. The chocolate was more serious and reserved although once when explaining that to visitors the little bastard walked up to one and rolled on his feet.
Oh f*ck yes, Cohenite.
It’s 3 years at the moment and has been since Federation.
Do we the voters get any say in how often the merits of the government are reviewed?
And why would Albo want his government to be reviewed by the electorate less often, hmm?
Really not a good look for Albo, especially going into an election.
My opinion is that elections are held every year after the books have been opened and examined. Say the start of September.
Failure to produce the books is a sign of a disaster.
Old age, and a liking for strong drink, have dimmed my memory, but wasn’t a referendum for four year terms defeated in 1988?
Sam Harris argues that Israel could commit genocide at any time it chooses but has never stated that as a policy whereas Hamas “ad nauseum” states genocide as an imperative.

Indeed. I was trying to remember where I’d seen that face.
Ditto.
You know, the real conservatives in the party appear to be African and a few Hindus. It’s an incredible situation as the whites are all tied up in the class thing. Class, identified by the school comes first and then party affiliation. This is a reason why Farage is struggling.
I’m starting to warm up to the black Nigerian chick leading the conservatives too.

Exactly Sancho.

Starmer is to THE LEFT of Jeremy Corbyn. Obama was a Revolutionary. Peter Hitchens
n the video from the New Culture Forum, Peter Hitchens discusses the perception of political figures and ideologies, particularly focusing on British and American politics. He argues that Keir Starmer, the current leader of the UK Labour Party, is actually more left-wing than his predecessor, Jeremy Corbyn. Hitchens criticizes conservatives for not recognizing this and for their simplistic labeling of Corbyn. He explains that modern revolutionaries are not the stereotypical agitators but rather well-educated and influential individuals who manage to effect societal changes without overt disruptions. They operate within the system as professionals, such as bureaucrats, teachers, and especially lawyers, to implement progressive transformations. Hitchens references the strategies of Saul Alinsky, a significant figure in American activism, who advocated for working within the system to achieve state power. He cites Barack Obama as a prime example of this approach, highlighting his success in advancing leftist principles subtly through institutional means. Throughout, Hitchens emphasizes the need for deeper understanding and recognition of these modern revolutionary tactics rather than clinging to outdated notions of activism.

‘Crippling our industry’: WA booze producers face double whammy of rising alcohol tax and glass bottle pricesCheyanne EncisoThe West Australian

Cheyanne Enciso
WA booze producers are bracing themselves for a double whammy of “crippling” alcohol tax set to rise again next month and increasing glass bottle prices, with customers set to be slugged even more for a cold one.
Many distilleries, breweries and wineries have reportedly been hit by more than a 20 per cent price increase in glass bottles over the past two years.
Driving the increase are soaring electricity and power prices to make the bottles, as well as rising material and global shipping costs.
Glass manufacturers may also have to pay a fee to fund programs like Containers for Change.
Kate Sinfield, chief executive of Herne Hill-based Sin Gin Distillery, said it was inevitable customers would have to pay more for their alcohol.
While she has managed to dodge the rising cost of glass by turning to a different manufacturer that uses over 50 per cent recycled materials, she warned it would be another nail in the coffin for booze producers.
“But the bottle price is still negligible compared to the price of the tax that the consumer is paying when they are buying a bottle of booze,” Ms Sinfield said.
“The cost goes straight to the customer. (The alcohol excise) is absolutely crippling our industry, it’s just terrible.”
Citizens to the barricades!
How gay was Trudeau’s exit. He goes down to Mar a Lago hoping to make nice with his boss. The boss makes fun of him at dinner, tells him he’s going to raise a 25% tariff on Canadian exports, calls him governor and suggests Canada become the 51st state in the Union….and some Canucks like the idea.
And now Musk is going after Starmer and the British establishment.
This is going to be an entertaining 4 years.
Dutton also supports 4 year terms.
Not a good look for Dutton either!
That is hardly a surprise.
Meh. It’s the most important employment figure.
Their own.
With most of the current crop, four weeks is too long.
If a reply doesn’t contradict the points it claims to be addressing its simply pointless.
No it didn’t. Those weapons were never under the strategic command of the Ukrainians. It’s akin to arguing that federal military hardware stationed in Victoria are Victoria’s if it secedes. You cannot give up what never was yours to begin with.
No it isn’t, its just basic geopolitics. And NATO is more than a pact. The US situates military bases, etc. in strategic locations across Europe that can and have been used offensively and defensively.
I think he has been the catalyst for awakening some latent feelings in people which had been suppressed.
I mean, it was all-pervasive, to saturation point in the media, and you dare not stick your head above the parapet in the workplace or socially with any FarRight views … like, for example, Paki rapists should be jailed then deported.
Paki rapists should be shot, their assets sold and given to their victims. The rapists families deported.
guilty until proven innocent. It’s time we hit the reset button, the legal books are clogged full of extremist garbage. No fault divorce must go along with all this positive consent garbage.
I know there are some here who don’t particularly ‘dig’ Tommy Robinson (real name Stephen Yaxley-Lennon), the white working class lad from Luton. Whilst I understand the reservations and doubts about Robinson, personally I laud him as a hero. I know Tommy isn’t perfect but I’m not aware of any human being who is ‘perfect’ and without ‘sin’, and even some of the most righteous people who have ever lived have had tortured and tainted backgrounds. But unlike some here, I do maintain that Robinson’s been vilified and silenced over the years because of his working class background. If he was a ‘toff’, a lot of his sinful background would be forgiven.
The UK is the current epicentre of two tier policing (although this country isn’t far behind). Here’s a recent example of this two tier policing, last year BBC luminary Huw Edwards pled guilty to being a purveyor and collector of child pornography. Pretty serious crime….ya think? For his crime he was given a motley six-month suspended prison sentence. No prison time for BBC pedophiles, they get a free pass. Only a few weeks ago UK plod finally got around to charging the Muslim men who attacked police at Manchester airport back in late July. No doubt these Muslim men will plead that they are the victims here!
Tommy’s crime is that as a young man, back in the mid to late noughties, he joined the EDL. Now him joining the EDL is not surprising given he was a white working class disenfranchised male and it is totally unsurprising given he was witnessing, in real time, the increasing Islamification and radicalisation of his home town of Luton, an epicentre of Islamic terror. But working class lads are never allowed to be forgiven for their youthful foolishness, transgressions and sins. To his credit Robinson left the EDL but that unwise dalliance has seen him branded and smeared as a far-right white supremacist racist ever since. Tommy Robinson is not a racist nor is Tommy Robinson an anti-Semite (he’s been to Israel and he is a staunch defender of the Jewish state).
There are only a few people on this planet I would cross the road to speak to, family members, friends, and as for notable people, well there are a few (including the likes of Gad Saad, Tommy Robinson and so on) but the one standout person I would stop traffic to speak to would be Ayaan Hirsi Ali. I should not need to remind people here of Ayaan’s background, born into a Muslim Somalian family, subjected to FGM, joined the Muslim Brotherhood, subjected to a forced marriage which she fled from, renounced and denounced Islam and since the early noughties she’s lived under a death sentence for being an apostate.
Ayaan Hirsi Ali speaks with absolute crystal clear clarity and moral authority.
This was only uploaded a few hours ago, in the wake of the furore in the UK over the ‘rape gangs’ along with Musk’s intervention. Ayaan doesn’t mince words about Muslim male behaviour and she knows what she’s talking about when she talks about Islam and Muslims. Please listen, it’s only 30 minutes……

Ayaan lauds both Tommy and Elon.
‘white working class disenfranchised male’ – has Catallaxy become the haunt of Dave Spart? This sort of inverted class consciousness used to be a defining feature of the Far Left. Yaxley-Lennon;s problem is his repeated contempts of court, ones that in some circumstances threaten the conviction of criminals, and in the most recent matter have him repeatedly smearing an innocent man with malicious lies. His type has been known before – the race-baiters and professional victimes; they make poor leaders and frequently lead to tyranny.
Gosh, look who pops up! Oh, and who is ‘Dave Spart’?
Clearly you haven’t listened to the Ayaan Hirsi Ali podcast, or perhaps you think her lived experiences are ‘malicious lies’?
Oh and I don’t think it’s Robinson who is the ‘race baiter’ here.
By the way, ‘what are ‘victimes‘? What word is this? Perhaps you’re trying to invent some new French word so as to make your pompous drivel appear rational?
There’s a lady I have every respect for!
One can have respect for Lady Ferguson without using her as the excuse for nasty sectarian rants.
More pomposity.
I wonder how long that will stay up on YouTube?
Pyrmonter, contempt for Pommy justice is appropriate. MLords in the finery and frippery are completely contmptable. Monty Python had th pegged in the Sixties. I’m sure they mostly like being peggedm
I thought Robinson had a big part in the formation of the EDL, became its leader, then left soon after when the white supremacists infiltrated its ranks. Happy to be corrected.
But what sort of grenade?
A man accused of firing at police during a car chase was allegedly carrying two pistols, a rifle and a grenade after a botched New Year’s Eve home invasion.
Paea Tuiniua and Faez Finau, both 20, allegedly fled police in a stolen car after the attempted break-and-enter at an Edensor Park home in Sydney’s southwest.
Shots were allegedly fired into the bonnet of a police car during a later pursuit with the stolen car only stopping when road spikes were used.
Tuiniua allegedly fled into bushland and escaped detection until he was stopped by police in Brisbane airport.
Following his extradition to NSW overnight, the 20-year-old faced accusations on Tuesday of possessing military-style weapons among a string of 13 charges.
Tuiniua allegedly had during and after the home invasion a grenade, AR15 semi-automatic rifle, 9mm Beretta M9 pistol and a Glock 19 Gen4 pistol.

All legal and fully licensed no doubt. ;D
Neither the Tele or the Sydney Morning Hemorrhoid is mentioning the type of grenade…

Brilliant play by China.
Orange Hitler hasn’t even climbed into the ring and we have one towel thrown in already.
Starmer made a yuuuge mistake sending the New Labour troops over to fight for Kamal-toe.
In the USA the left have adopted a tactic which reads as follows:
Accuse the candidate of something beyond the pale and preferably sexual, so it splits off the Christian vote which would normally (I hope!) trend right.
This is exemplified in the chasing after Trump so many times, the chasing after Kavanagh, the older case of Clarence Thomas, and the more current accusations relating to Matt Gaetz and Pete Hegseth.
Grooming gangs & the Islamic ‘primitive’ mindset | Ayaan Hirsi Ali
In the GBNews video featuring Ayaan Hirsi Ali, the discussion focuses on the issue of grooming gangs in the UK, highlighting a perceived link between these crimes and certain cultural and religious mindsets, particularly within some segments of Muslim communities. Ali argues that such crimes are influenced by cultural practices and norms from Islamic societies that view women as inferior and promote segregation of genders, leading to a mindset of male dominance and entitlement. Ali points to the failure of Western societies, including Britain, to address these issues openly due to fears of being labeled racist and a kind of “suicidal empathy” that prioritizes cultural sensitivity over the safety of vulnerable women and children. She stresses the need for an assimilation policy that enforces a single legal and cultural framework, rather than allowing parallel systems like Sharia law to exist within European countries. The video also touches on the broader implications of failing to integrate immigrant communities into Western societies and the potential for increased criminal activities, including terrorism. Ali highlights the complications posed by radical Islamic ideologies in the West and suggests collaboration with nations like Saudi Arabia and Israel to combat such ideologies. Overall, Ali calls for a more assertive approach to integration and emphasizes that political will and societal consensus are critical to maintaining the freedoms and safety European countries claim to uphold.
She wants an assimilation policy, and to get Saudi Arabia to help.
She’s a fool.
Islam isn’t here to assimilate, it is here to conquer.
Saudi Arabia will talk to her while continuing with the policy of conquest which lies at the heart of Islam.
People like Ali are akin to the handsome young boys who seduce the 12 year old girls they bring home “to meet the parents” and is more dangerous for it.
Dutton also supports 4 year terms.
There are two issues
4 year terms
Fixed terms
They are separate but have been conflated. I can’t see how fixed terms are compatible with the Westminster system.
3 years is enough damage for a bad government, shorter if members defect to the opposition and an election is forced
Every system is imperfect but 3 years maximum is long enough. The Australian electorate has given too many the benefit of the doubt and elected them for a second term.
More importantly, it means either (a) the Senate loses staggered terms, making it more prone to volatile changes in public opinion, something it was designed to hamper or (b) Senators come to serve 8 year terms. Two terms – in practice, for most, two pre-selection contests adjudged by a bunch of unionists or the dubious characters controlling the coalition parties – will grant a decent career and generous pension
Mmm…yes; that’s a hot topic around Australian dinner tables.
And, of course, Dr. Mutton* concurs.
Our dear leaders – top men both – are taking the pulse of the nation as we speak.
*h/t Rabz
Spud is merely the best of a bad bunch.
At least he’s not a monster.
Gosh, apparently objecting to Pakistani Muslim males grooming and raping white English working class girls is a ‘nasty sectarian rant’.
Wow.
They’re your specialty. Try substituting other religions into your list and see how they read.
You smarmy, sanctimonious dropkick
Please direct me to where gangs of Hindus, Buddhists, Jews, Christians, Satanists, Scientologists and so on have groomed and raped 250,000 Muslim girls.
Until you do it’s clear your ‘specialty‘ is engaging in false equivalence.
It’s been a while.
I wonder what your previous handle was.
Feeling lonely? hah
Oh dear.

Tommy Robinson, whose real name is Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, was sentenced at Woolwich Crown Court on Monday
Tommy Robinson has been sentenced for 18 months after he admitted committing contempt of court by repeating false allegations against a Syrian refugee.
?imwidth=350
?imwidth=350

Robinson, whose real name is Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, admitted repeating the incorrect claims 10 times when he appeared at Woolwich Crown Court on Monday.
The court heard that, in 2021, he was ordered to pay £100,000 in damages and barred from repeating false allegations against Jamal Hijazi, then a schoolboy, who successfully sued him for libel.
The Solicitor General issued two contempt claims against Robinson earlier this year, claiming that he “knowingly” breached the order 10 times.
In court on Monday, the 41-year old Robinson admitted repeating the claims in six online interviews in 2023 and this year and a further four breaches relating to his film, Silenced.
Asked by Mr Justice Jeremy Johnson whether he admitted the offences, Robinson, who was wearing a grey suit, waistcoat and an open-necked light grey shirt, nodded and said: “Yes.”
Robinson, who bent forward in his seat in the dock behind a glass screen, appeared calm throughout proceedings before standing to hear the sentence.
Mr Justice Johnson told him that his actions had a “corrosive effect” on justice, saying: “Nobody is above the law. Nobody can pick and choose which laws and injunctions they obey and which they do not.
“The breaches were not accidental or negligent or merely reckless. Each breach was a considered and planned and deliberate and direct and flagrant breach of the court’s order in disregard of the claimant’s rights.”
Robinson blew a kiss to supporters in the public gallery as he left the dock. His supporters had gathered outside the court ahead of the hearing, with a number waving Union flags.

The first contempt claim was issued against Robinson in June this year and claimed he “knowingly” breached the order on four occasions.
These came in three podcast interviews published on X, formerly Twitter, Rumble and YouTube between February and June last year, and the publishing of Silenced, which contained the libellous allegations, that May.
The second claim was issued in August this year for six further breaches of the court order. Robinson repeated the allegations in three online interviews in June and July, including one with Jordan Peterson, the Canadian psychologist.
The other three breaches were the publishing of Silenced on X in June, the publication of a version with a new introduction in July, and the playing of the film to a demonstration in Trafalgar Square on July 27.
Aidan Eardley KC, for the Solicitor General, told the court that the second contempt claim was issued after “continuing concerning behaviour by Mr Yaxley-Lennon”.
The court heard that Silenced had been viewed “very extensively”, including being seen by 2.2 million people after being reposted by the controversial influencer Andrew Tate.
Mr Eardley said in written submissions that by the time the second claim was issued, the film “had received 44 million views on X alone”.
“Because the nature of the film is to effectively re-run the case that failed at trial, it substantially repeats all the allegations made at trial,” he said.
Mr Eardley told the court that Robinson’s “declared intentions to disobey the order” and failure to remove Silenced from his social media accounts moved his offending into “an even higher category”.
“It is a continual breach,” he said. “This material is still out there. He could take it off Twitter if he wanted to.”

Concluding his remarks, Mr Eardley drew a smirk of apparent disbelief from Robinson when he said: “This is not a case about Mr Yaxley-Lennon’s political views. It is not even directly a case about freedom of expression.
“It is a case about the disobedience to a court order, and the undermining of the rule of law that goes with that.”
Sasha Wass KC, for Robinson, told the court he was “by profession a journalist” who “specialised in controversial topics, many of which the mainstream media had failed to cover”.
She told the court that the production of Silenced had been funded by Infowars, a company run by Alex Jones, an American who has claimed that the 2012 Sandy Hook school massacre was a hoax.
Ms Wass said: “He [Robinson] acted in the way that he did and he accepts his culpability because he passionately believes in free speech, a free press and the overwhelming desire that he has to express the truth.
“The defendant believes that the public is entitled to have all the information, not merely that provided by the mainstream media, so the public can make up its own mind. Having said all of that, he accepts the breaches as set out but wants me to make clear on his behalf that at all times he was following his principles.”
Ms Wass said Robinson was “entitled to a high reduction” in his sentence because of his guilty plea and the likelihood that he would be placed in “solitary confinement” in prison.
She said his mental health had been damaged after he spent the entirety of his last three-and-a-half-year sentence in solitary confinement to protect him from other prisoners.
Robinson stood to hear the sentence delivered by Mr Justice Johnson, who told the court: “This morning, the defendant has admitted that he breached the injunction in the ways set out by the Solicitor General.”
He said Robinson’s offences were of “medium to high” seriousness and that his previous contempt of court convictions were “aggravating factors”.
Mr Justice Johnson said the “impact prison conditions will have on the defendant” and his respect of the court order from 2021 to 2023 were mitigating factors.
But he added that Robinson had “not shown any remorse” and acted as though “he regards himself as above the law”. He said: “Each individual breach is so serious that a non-custodial sentence could not be justified.”
He sentenced Robinson to 18 months, minus the three days he has spent in custody since Friday.

When he was remanded into custody, Robinson was separately charged with a terror offence for allegedly refusing to give police access to his mobile phone.
He had previously been arrested at a port in Kent in July and accused of the “frustration” of police counter-terrorism powers.
Robinson was charged with one count of failing to provide the PIN to his mobile phone under schedule seven of the Terrorism Act 2000, Kent Police said. He is due to appear on the charge at Westminster Magistrates’ Court on Nov 13.

Lmao.
I appear to have stumbled on a stoush in the wilderness of comments-on-comments.
Pyrmonter, don’t hide your light under the bushel of nested comments.
Put them on the open thread so everyone can see.
I think Albo’s electoral rhetoric is not gonna go down this time, unlike back in 2022.
And he knows it, he’s looking very uncomfortable.
That’s because he is an absolute arsehole.
Should have to pay back every cent taken under false pretences.
Should be mopping toilets in Parliament house, not wishfully hoping for another year on the shiny seats.
Even meets the classic description of a bastard since his father ran away.
The voters will too.
Didn’t like the torch? Scuttle away then.
The biggest failing of nested comments compared to the old progressive one.
Thanks, Bespoke. It’s true. Always look for the ones who are making things better. For every @rsehole, there’s a slew of people who just want to help.
I’ve been surrounded by them all my life. And I hope I’m one of them too.
Anal’s gotta go.
Patience, Milt. There’s an election looming and Albo looks less re-electable than radical Labor lunatics like Gough Whitlam.
A few of the water carriers in the press are realising the reality.
Shame he gets a nice pension.
A stiff drink and a revolver would be better.
The legacy media needs a closer election.
Even though they hate Dutton, they need to go easier on him at least for the first few months.
On the flip side they have to go harder on Albo.
And from today’s little spat, Albo looks particularly thin skinned & ripe for some niggle.
For hard Left ideologues both Gillard and Albanese have been treated with kid gloves. Bandt too.
Four year fixed election terms ?
Media would hate that.
They love all the parlour games surrounding an election that can be called at any time.
And the loss of election ad spending.
Media will be very anti any change to the current system.
Good points.
A bit like a cash free society. How can untraceable cash payments be made if there is no cash? Will an IOU be handed over in an Aldi bag?
Elbow in full flight at a presser today, and on the subject of cheap power:

Journo: ‘I think you said $275’
Elbow (flustered): ‘No no no, you ask the questions, I give the answers, that’s how this works’
That THOK sound in the backyard was another nail in his electoral coffin.
Would love that particular lie to sink the Liars.
How long before “does Albo have a women problem?”
Dutton has never ruled out supporting fixed terms.
The Liberal National party MP David Coleman introduced a private member’s bill in 2017 for fixed four-year terms, which had the in-principle support of ministers in the Turnbull government.
So you can see what their thinking is already.
From James McPherson today…
And this…
Four year fixed election terms ?

Foreign citizens 3.5 times more likely to be arrested for sex crimesAnti-immigration think tank’s research says there were 9,000 arrests of foreigners for alleged offences in first ten months of last year

Foreign citizens are more than three times as likely to be arrested for sexual offences as British adults, according to analysis.
The police made more than 9,000 arrests of non-British citizens for alleged sexual offences in the first ten months of last year, which made up a quarter of all arrests for the crime.
According to research by the Centre for Migration Control, a new anti-immigration think tank, people in this group are 3.5 times more likely to be arrested for sexual offences than British adults. For every 100,000 foreign citizens in the UK 164 people were arrested for sexual offences. This compares with 48 per 100,000 for British adults, according to the research.
The data was based on freedom of information requests from 41 of the 43 police forces in England and Wales and covers January to October last year.
For crime overall, foreign citizens were twice as likely to be arrested compared with British adults. There were 24 arrests per 1,000 foreign citizens compared with 12 arrests per 1,000 for Britons in the ten-month period. There were 48 nationalities with higher arrest rates than Britons, according to the research. Albanians had the highest arrest rate followed by Afghans, Iraqis, Algerians and Somalians. There were 210 arrests for every 1,000 Albanian citizens, the research showed.
Pakis would have been higher if the cops actually arrested them.
Ah.
I see that the subject of Elbow’s presser has already been widely reported in this august journal of record.
My apologies.
In other news, Roger Moore is dead.

KD, we can’t have enough of comments on Elbow’s presser du jour.
He was wearing the Akubra too! Makes him look more authentic.
I wonder who was holding his lettuce?
The hat is slightly too big, even though he is a fat head.
It’s interesting re modern Pommyland- my Dad and Grandfather risked their lives for the mother country. When I turn up there, I get to stay 3 or 6 months (can’t remember which) and no recourse to welfare.
Convert to Islam, arrive as a refugee, stay indefinitely, get priority access to free council housing and priority for medical treatment (such as it might be).
Channel 9 news gets more engagements via TikTok than they do with people watching it on TV.
The legacy media in 2024 is more desperate than ever for that sweet federal election spend every 3 years.
Legacy media will not be supportive of any change.

A real little stinker, doing all he can to wreck the country. Do they all go to the bLIAR skool of rubbing the right’s nose in diversity?

I reckon Anal’s natural habitat is Gould’s bookstore in King St Newtown
The media would love for Albo to pull the pin & have a shiny new PM pre election but that is unlikely.
They’ll settle for a ALP minority government with all the palace intrigue keeping that Star Wars cantina bar together.
I loathe which bank and its policy puttanas
