One thing that seems to be ignored in the Starmer/Rapist imbroglio is the role of local government in the UK.
There are about 300 local authorities (LGA’s) in the UK. They differ significantly from the Australian versions in that, besides local roads, garbage, libraries, and mowing – many UK LGA’s manage a host of other government-funded services: education, public housing (a big deal in the UK), ‘community relations’, direct grants (new mosque, new sports centre, etc), and importantly, social services (particularly – in context – child welfare, including family placements).
For Labour, LGA’s are critical political assets; local pork delivery in support of the national parliamentary vote – particularly in the rape-prone industrial cities.
The LGA social services were heavily criticised after the 1981 race riots and reacted enthusiastically to the Scarman recommendation that “positive discrimination” was a necessity to keep the peace – and have spent the past 40 years social-working Marxist woke to an extent you might not believe.
There is no chance on God’s Earth that the Labour machine is ever going to support an inquiry that would lead to daylight being shone into those dark corners.
Bit odd seeing the canned laughter at the Djokovic charity match in Melb tonight.

The Tories have got rocks in their head if they think that a long campaign for a longwinded enquiry about events which happened, in political relative terms, a long time ago, which the government will only be obliged to respond to a long time in the future – is a good strategy for either their party or the poor abused girls.
If it were me, I’d just go ballistic right now, about the here and now.
“Mr Sir Keir Starmer PM, because of your appalling weakness and capitulation, how many child sex offenders are free on the streets of Britain right now?”
“As Labour leader, after decades promoting mas immigration, colonial guilt and elevating Islamists to the status of an untouchable and vengeful ruling class, how many apologists, collaborators and disseminators of child sexual abuse are in positions of power whithin town councils and police forces right now?”
“Mr PM, do you not think that your totalitarian policies about reportage and social media content will doubtlessly be adding to the entitlement, protection and deflection of child sexual abusers in British towns and cities right now?”
Anthony Albanese has given an iron-clad guarantee no new mining tax will be introduced if he wins the Federal election and ruled out a minority government deal with the Greens as he vies to secure crucial resources states.
In a sit-down interview with The West Australian as he flew from Kununurra to Perth on Thursday, the Prime Minister vowed he’s in WA to win it — declaring the Liberal-held seats of Durack, Canning and Moore, and the new seat of Bullwinkel, in play.
Without any surprise gains, holding the four WA seats Labor gained in 2022 — Tangney, Swan, Hasluck and Pearce — could make the difference between majority government, minority government or defeat in a looming federal election.
But Mr Albanese told The West he’s aiming for a majority and will not sign an agreement with crossbenchers if he falls short.

There doesn’t appear to be any formal meeting with Rudd and the incoming admin people let alone Trump.
Rudd, isn’t just on hols I think. I suspect he received no invite to the inauguration and is now pretending he’s just on vacation and can’t make it.
You can bet London to a brick JC that Rudd indeed will be on the outside looking in as the Orange Man is inaugurated.

Question (prompted by Castro’s son’s resignation in great sadness):
Does each successive generation of leftist shitbags upon leaving power in the aftermath of wrecking, once again, f*cking absolutely everything, look back on their ascension to power and see a naive and silly person who just didn’t know the damage they were about to do, OR do they look back on a person who full well knew what they were about to do, which was precisely what the previous generation of shitbag, degenerate leftists did, and their only regret is they couldn’t have the time to complete the destruction?

If you have a wider interest in topics the interwebs offer, then you will find that the answer is a resounding YES.
Even after years of some communist hellholes had changed regime, many of the surviving old guard are praying for the old system to come back, claiming, if we had more time.
Full employment, whether the job was worth doing or not.
Planned economy, years behind customer demand and one branch making profits supporting the loss making ones.
Total social support from cradle to grave, just like the NHS, you’d find the grave sooner than a bed in the hospital.
All forgotten, just remember the vibe.
Collars up then, Zaf?
But seriously, great achievement, I hope everyone in her circle is rightly proud.
Criggit is an underrated sport for ladies, as it does carry a tradition of feminine patience and selflessness, and asks for a humble acceptance of the umpire’s authority.
Rockdoctor, in nested comments on the previous page, responding to Frollickingmole:
Starting to become difficult to draw any conclusion other than “Turnbullian” or “Morrison-lite”
Or even “Abbott-ish”. He’s confirmed some temporary appointments that were made by Palasczcuk – ones even Miles wouldn’t confirm.
This gels with his initial automatic agreement with Palaszczuk re “treaties” & the like, that was reversed only after brutal phone calls from party members to branches & sitting MPs.
Spooked by the spectre of Campbell Newman, he is pussyfooting carefully around the Public Service.
This is playing out with a public service that far from being scared of him, is emboldened into even worse excess than under Labor.

Huge poll victory for Nigel Farage as Reform UK comes joint top for first time (9 Jan)
Which proves it can be done, although Reform is in a much better situation with the UK’s first past the post system than minor parties are here.
BBC is on an anti-Musk binge, keeps referring to him as “world’s richest man” and an associate of “far right extremist AfD” in Germany.
Who is anti-democracy now? AfD are winning votes. And why does the media never refer to “extreme left” in politics?
By contrast, Italy’s PM Meloni says that Soros, not Musk, is the danger to democracy.
All the left leaning media are in a tizz over the Musk-Weidel (AfD) interview.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7pkSYdlRdE8
She gets stuck into the former German government’s embrace of wind and solar, which is clearly inadequate for a highly industrialised country like Germany. Musk agrees, so obviously he too is “far right”.
The BBC is worse than the ABC. It’s the pommy Oxbridge LSE condescension.
AfD are also fans of smaller government and less bureaucratic red tape hindering all sorts of proposals. That makes them conservative, not far right. Musk agrees, having run into this sort of crap himself.
AfD are in favour of less woke crap in the education system, and are against illegal immigration. Obviously dangerous extremists!

Nope.
If you have ever watched Million Dollar Listing LA you will know that any house more than 20 years old in a good location is up for demolition anyway. The denizens care nothing for history or architecture, with rare exceptions.
On the contrary, the developers will be licking their chops.
The fire ravaged area of Maui has been subsumed by developers. The, now, uninsured LA burbs will most likely go the same way. The citizens of Buncombe County whose homes were destroyed by Hurricane Helene, and are still waiting for help, have a new horror to deal with.
Sensing a pattern?
“Despite the widespread devastation left behind in the wake of Hurricane Helene, Buncombe County, North Carolina property owners were expected to cough up their property taxes earlier this week.
Midnight on Monday Jan 6 was the deadline for property owners to pay their taxes as Public Information Officer Stacy Woods told residents, “North Carolina law does not permit property tax waivers or exceptions for natural disasters, including hurricane Helene.”
The thought of collecting taxes on property that has been destroyed or that no longer exists, is shocking to residents who are still in the process of recovering from the unprecedented destruction caused by the storm.
. . . Meanwhile, the question remains as to whether the county will move to seize properties from residents for non-payment of taxes, as allowed by law.”
Steven Hayward makes a prediction today:
Fire Notes | Power Line (9 Jan)
Couple this with the fact that insurance companies have fled California, because Newsom prevented them from increasing premiums, and I suspect a lot of people will just give up and move to Texas instead.
It’s the selectivity in the media that kills.I was channel surfing and ABC running Karen Bass LA Mayor press conference.No way they run the clip where she was drilled at the airport by a journalist and just stood there speechless.
The Tories have got rocks in their head if they think that a long campaign for a longwinded enquiry about events which happened, in political relative terms, a long time ago, which the government will only be obliged to respond to a long time in the future – is a good strategy for either their party or the poor abused girls.
Wrong, there’s nothing historical about the ‘events’, the rapes are ongoing, the mass grooming and raping of working class white girls continues unabated. UK Labour, once a party that represented the interests of the working class, now represents the interests of Muslim rapists.
In Newcastle upon Tyne there’s a gang of Syrian migrants who are grooming and raping local white girls. This gang of rapists is known to both the local plod and, of course, to the Labour controlled council. They choose to look the other way.

Does each successive generation of leftist shitbags upon leaving power in the aftermath of wrecking…f*cking absolutely everything, look back on their ascension to power and see a naive and silly person who just didn’t know the damage they were about to do, OR do they look back on a person who full well knew what they were about to do, which was precisely what the previous generation of shitbag, degenerate leftists did, and their only regret is they couldn’t have the time to complete the destruction?
Definitely the latter. These people are driven by conviction that is unalterable. A classic recent example was the piece by Nick Cater in the Oz earlier this week claiming that the green slime had become more radical than the original party started by Bob Brown. The old b*** immediately launched into print to deny that, and said he fully supported Bandit and the current party policy.
They never change, you can bet the house on it. Gad Saad calls it a mind virus and that’s just what it is.
More proof (as if it was needed) that greenies hate beauty, especially if it conflicts with their ideology:
https://www.abc.net.au/news/2025-01-10/weed-infested-secret-garden-in-perth-restored/104782998
Look at the picture in the link. It really was a beautiful and magical place.
But, beauty can only be expressed in correct ways. So, it had to go.
I fail to see how a tiny patch of incorrect weeds are going to disrupt the planet’s ecological balance, if there is such a thing.
More likely the locals were annoyed by the traffic, which could have been dealt with.
Plus, the notion of unapproved vegetation being beautiful and giving pleasure infuriates the latter day Cromwellians.
I’ve been reading Ecclesiastes. It reminds me of the thoughts of Marvin the depressed robot from Hitch-hiker guide to the Galaxy.
Chris Coffee, a MAF Man and devout Christian, killed by three zombies in a stolen car.
Now promoted to Glory.
As for his killers, a slap on the wrist unless the new NT government goes hard as they promised.

Or not.
This is beautiful.
“If there’s one thing worse than being talked about, it’s not being talked about”.
They know that what Kruddy hates most of all is being ignored.
He would rather that they loudly demand he be sacked, because that would put him in the spotlight and he could frame himself as the “fearless ambassador who stood up to Orange Hitler 2.0”.
And you’re right about “holidaying in Queensland” as a blind for not being invited to the inauguration or, being invited, but seated behind the agricultural attaché from Botswana.
What would be funny would be if they issue an invitation the morning of the 20th, too late for Kruddster to get back to DC, and the 2-I-C goes along.
Anthony Albanese has given an iron-clad guarantee no new mining tax will be introduced if he wins the Federal election and ruled out a minority government deal with the Greens as he vies to secure crucial resources states.
Is that like one of those no carbon tax promise thingys that a certain Gillard mouthed?
Dutton needs to go hard especially in WA and bring up the ghost of Gillard. Won’t matter much in Qld as the ALP don’t have many seats outside of the SE corner anyway…
No doubt paid for by leftist a*sehole actors.
The DEI hires running the LA Fire Dept have it all worked out. The lezzos in charge (including a POC) are all up to it. The black mayor diverted critical funds from emergency services equipment to look after the illegal migrants flooding in across open boders (ie a money laundering scam). They grounded all fire fighting aircraft for 24 hours while the Old Perv flew in on AF1. The fire destroyed hundreds of acres meanwhile.
Leftism isn’t just a mental illness, it’s also criminally insane.
Muslims grooming and kidnapping girls is a worldwide phenomenon.
Ask the Copts in Egypt, Hindus in Pakistan etc.
In a religion where polygamy is practised there will always be a shortage of women, it’s why they have sanctioned turning to younger and younger female children in their own countries. Let along where millions of young males have abandoned their homeland and moved to the west.
What did authorities expect?
Women of marriageable age aren’t going to look at unemployable immigrants who are quite often illiterate, even in their own language, of course they are going to go after the vulnerable.
They have unlimited time to hang around school gates and the places school children congregate and prey on potential victims.
The notion of mind viruses was invented by Richard Dawkins more than thirty years ago to explain religious belief.
The use of an epidemiological model to explain philosophical, metaphysical or political convictions is reductionistic. Further, there is not a skerrick of empirical evidence for it, which is somewhat ironic given Dawkins’s promotion of science as the only objective epistemology.
Those on the prog-left are not suffering from a virus; they are responsible moral agents who can and should be held fully accountable for their ideological commitments and the harm they cause to others.
You’ve cheered me up on this horrible day, DrBeau.
I will never be able to read Ecclesiastes again without hearing Alan Rickman. There never was a more mournfully melodious voice.
This is crucial. My sis tells me her grandkids are doing a welcome to country ceremony EVERY DAY (NSW). Yr 2 at Primary. Growing up believing this is not your country, you are here by the the good graces of the near extinct abos. Becoming adults fully primed with guilt load ready to handover 30 billion odd annually to the corrupt indigeny industry.
If Dutton gets in he must take decisive immediate action to de-program the kids and get all the DEI, woke leftist shit out of the curriculum. More than 50% is leftist propaganda.
After the revelations of the last few weeks, can anyone now watch British cop shows and not think about how inappropriate the portrayal is?
Trump should promise to pay these taxes on their behalf from federal coffers as a recompense for FEMA’s scandalous performance in the aftermath of the storm.
Daniel Greenfield…
The LAFD is Run by Three Lesbians Named ‘Kirsten’ (10 Jan)
And then the fire hydrants ran out of water, and the fire fighting budget was cut by $17 million to use the money for illegal migrants.
They assumed all cultures are equal.
Gad Saad calls it a mind virus and that’s just what it is.
Saad is correct.
File this next to his promise to cut immigration.
Albanese clearly has no idea how low his credibility is.
I’m pretty certain this DEI/culture/woke leftist shyte is just a convenient mask covering for graft, corruption and money laundering scams benefiting the chosen elites. Get the “right people” in place distributing million$ of OPM at over inflated contract prices and enjoying kickbacks, pensions, jobs for life.

I have long thought that cop shows from the BBC and ones like the FBI are organizational propaganda. The more cop shows, the worse the state of policing.
I have not seen c op shows that only show bad cops (reality).
Something the media refuses to highlight is that in the UK in areas that are mostly Muslim the local government is controlled by Muslims. This means that non-Muslim residents are also subject to their rules, they live under shariah law while in the area.
The Californian wild fire phenomenon is quite amazing.
People in high risk areas didn’t like how much insurance costs were increasing so they proposed and passed a law that regulated how much insurance prices could increase.
The increases were not allowed to be calculated on future risks but only historical ones.
The government then dragged it’s heels on hazard reduction, removed dams, failed to refill reservoirs, didn’t replace fire hydrants (stolen for their brass) and focused on DEI in the fire services while cutting their budgets.
Insurance companies responded by exiting the Californian home insurance market (note State Farm lost 6 billion already in 2023 US wide) and home owners were forced onto a very expensive fire only badly underfunded State scheme.
One person mentioned their 3k policy increased to 9k, then the insurer declined to renew and they had to pay 15k for the default scheme.
Lots of fallacies around insurance, it’s about pooling risk not a savings scheme and insurance companies don’t owe you because you consumed 40 years of insurance.
And as someone nicely pointed out, people who build concrete houses about the tide surge line don’t have to cover people who build wooden houses below the tide surge line.
Though they probably do.
My house and contents insurance was over $1700 this year, I sucked it up and paid.
Yes my block is worth much the same without a house but I’d still have to pay to remove the debris and I would need to replace my belongings.
Also I like the concept of pooling risk, I believe it’s fundamental to civilisation.
California is the 4th largest economy in the world, bigger than all Germany.
From Newscum down, the huge administration is a DEI, woke, inept leftist freak show.Now overrun with gangs from the south, homeless shitting all over Hollywood and as we see an infrastructure white anted by corruptocrats.
And to fund this DEI woke hellscape, Cali imposes the highest income and sales taxes in the US.
This is where leftism leads you. Into a great big shithole.
In my experience, lesbians are almost as bad as Indians when placed in hiring positions.
There was a NSW school where the Principal and her deputy were in a relationship.They then started forcing out the male Head Teachers and replacing them with more lesbians, and they then started on started on the straight female HTs.
Eventually, as the bullying increased, complaints were made to district office and the union, which did nothing. It was wholly serendipitously the boss and deputy were seen by a member of staff on a cruise together, carrying on like the couple they were,that the relationship was exposed and finally the department took action moving both to different schools because the boss did not declare a conflict of interest and stepping away from the hiring process.

They promised to be tougher on crime, however the solution was more programs to deal with misguided yoof, tinkering with remand regulations but with no teeth and nothing substantial on sentencing. End result, throw more money at a problem that has been a black hole so far with minimal results. Judiciary emboldened after their success with Carmody and totally polluted by 30 years of ALP stacking will do what they want. Same sentencing without constraints being put on the learned wigged ones, a kid/adult with 50 priors should be in jail pure and simple, I could give even 1 micro gram of s$#@ about his right as the public has a right to be safe from turds who don’t get it is trumps.
Treaty, yup wind vane. Wouldn’t be surprised if somewhere there is an endrun round scrutiny and this mob of grifters is still getting public funding somehow and biding their time for a change in Government.
Public service I’m not even going to start to try and work that one out but I can’t see any other way than job cuts & loading up KPI’s with increased productivity clauses. If they were bold they might go after public sector unionism, I personally think this is a giant gorilla in the room when it comes to corruption and conflicts of interest.

Vandals paint Swastika signs on Southern Sydney Synagogue at Allawah
A synagogue in the city’s south has been daubed with at least a dozen swastika signs in the latest anti-Semitic vandalism attack in Sydney overnight.
Southern Sydney Synagogue has been daubed with at least a dozen Swastika signs in the latest anti-Semitic vandalism attack in the city overnight.
Police were at the scene this morning checking for clues after the place of worship in Railway Avenue, Allawah was defaced by vandals who sprayed a large black Swastika sign at the entrance of the building.
Two men in hoodies and wearing masks were seen loitering around the synagogue between 4am and 5am.
Red Swastikas and several black ones have been sprayed on the white walls of the synagogue.
President of the synagogue George Foster said “I received a call from the police at around 4.30am saying they had driven by and there was graffiti all over the synagogue.
“Looking at the CCTV it seems there were two men in black hoodies and masks who were spraying the walls of the synagogue.
“It is deeply distressing but it’s almost inevitable given the background on the rise of anti-Semitism currently.
“My parents were holocaust survivors and this has echoes of Germany 1933 with people singling out Jewish shops, religious institutions and homes by painting them with antisemitic signs. It’s unbelievable this happening in Australia.”
Police have been sifting through CCTV footage in the area in a bid to net the culprits.
NSW Premier Chris Minns was seen speaking with members of the synagogue on Friday morning, as forensic police officers inspected the scene.
David Ossip, president of the Jewish Board of Deputies, said:
“Offenders must be prosecuted and receive penalties sufficient to ensure that such conduct is deterred and not normalised.”
He pleaded for attacks on Jews to stop.
“Enough is enough,” he said.
“It isn’t normal or acceptable that Australians are having to wake up every morning filled with apprehension about whether or not there’s been another antisemitic hate crime overnight.
“This illegal behaviour is reprehensible and undermines the social harmony and cohesion which we all treasure.
“We cannot allow ourselves to become desensitised to acts of Jew-hatred and allow illegal conduct such as this to become normalised.”
He added: “The alleged offenders must be swiftly identified and prosecuted and receive penalties sufficient to ensure that such conduct is deterred and not normalised.”
Executive Council of Australian Jewry co-chief executive Alex Ryvchin condemned the attack, saying: “The community expects swift arrests to be made and for those who deface houses of worship with the symbol of genocide to face the full force of the law.
“As long as these people evade justice for trying to terrorise Australian citizens, it will continue. We’re also calling on our fellow Australians, particularly those in positions of influence across society, to end the silence and publicly denounce this behaviour as repugnant to our national values and a threat to us all.”
Police from St George Police Area Command are investigating.
“Offensive graffiti was spray painted on a synagogue in Sydney’s south west,” a spokesman said.
“The incident is believed to have occurred between 3.55am and 4.30am [on Friday] on Railway Parade, Allawah.”
Australia in 2025. All those pretty words and assurances uttered by Pretty Boy Minns aren’t doing anything to ‘curb’ the attacks and vandalism, are they?
By the way, in the above report they fail to mention a key word which was painted on the synagogue, and which is in the picture of the vandalism, the word…………
Allah
I think we can ascertain the religion of the vandals, it isn’t Buddhism or Sikhism or Hinduism or Methodism or Anglicanism or Catholicism.

Is it just me or does Newsom have a certain Trudeau aroma about him?
He obviously intends to declare war on Trump as his strategy for regaining credibility. Nice try Gav boy. You are hated, Trump is loved. How is that going to work?
It was obviously disgusting that lunatic academic Karen Piper (there’s that name again) referred to the loss of James Wood’s home as “karma”. But, can one be permitted just a teeny weeny bit of gloat over the Hollywierds’ self immolation through woke?

Blue Murder was indeed an awesome televisual feast – quite possibly the apogee of Australian drama, I can’t think of anything that remotely comes close to its portrayals of some of the most venal and preposterous individuals to have graced the underworlds of our cities.
Don’t forget, many of us in NSW had to smuggle in video copies from interstate to watch it after its initial release.
While I have little time for cops, it must be frustrating even to the most indoctrinated of them when this crap occurs in so called courts of justice.
From the worst oz
A 24-year-old Goldfields man has avoided immediate jail for splitting a man’s head open with the handle of an axe despite admitting to the offence only on the day of his trial.
Wenchester Joshua Blowes was sentenced for the unlawful wounding charge in Kalgoorlie Magistrates Court on Monday after previously changing his plea from not guilty on the day the trial was set to go ahead.Chief magistrate Steven Heath told the man he had “shot himself in the foot” by waiting until the day of trial to take responsibility, and warned others that courts would start punishing those who did so.
Blowes had already pleaded guilty to a charge of being armed from the same day as this offence and had been sentenced to a conditionally suspended imprisonment order.“If he pleaded guilty at the same time as this other incident … he would now be within three weeks of completing the CSIO,” Mr Heath said.
“He now loses all bar 5 per cent, perhaps, discount for his early plea and if I sentence him to a CSIO it runs from today.“He has shot himself in the foot.
“Because of the delay (it causes), courts will increasingly punish people who plead not guilty and change their pleas on the day, or are found guilty at trial.“You lose so much by waiting until the day of trial to plead guilty.”
The court was told Blowes got into a verbal altercation with someone out the front of a Victory Heights house about 3am on December 26, 2023.The victim approached him and asked him to go for a walk with him to cool down.
The pair began walking down the street with a witness behind them when they got into a verbal altercation and Blowes picked up an axe and struck the victim over the head with the handle.The blow caused a wound requiring seven stitches and the victim was taken to hospital by ambulance.
When police arrived, they saw Blowes standing in the middle of the street with the axe in his hands.Defence lawyer Leneva Polmear said Blowes was significantly intoxicated on the day of the offending but accepted it was not an excuse.She said both he and his family were disappointed in his actions and she called for him to be given another chance on a community disposition.
She said Blowes had a three-year gap in offending on his criminal record, which proved he could stay “off the gear” and hold a job.Mr Heath granted him another opportunity to prove himself outside of jail and sentenced him to 12 months jail, suspended for 12 months with supervision and program requirements.
Meeeow!
Mike Pence’s wife Karen stares down Melania and refuses to shake Trump’s hand at Jimmy Carter’s funeral (9 Jan)
Karen wants to speak to the manager. Well Mz Pence be of good cheer: your traitorous hubby will never now be elected to office ever again, not even as the local dog catcher.

And then the fire hydrants ran out of water, and the fire fighting budget was cut by $17 million to use the money for illegal migrants.
Pretty much sums up the factors that were involved in this disaster.
And then add shutting down air space to let Dementia Joe fly in which stopped flights of water bombers.
There will be more clusterfcuks to come to light.
The death of (a lot of ) manual labour;

Just a few hours maintenance each month.
Amazing!
I am amazed that no-one in the disaster-prone districts of Los Angeles had a prepared Grab-and-Go bag. I’ve got one, and I live in a rural suburb in a rural town where it is unlikely ever to be an earthquake, tornado or catastrophic fire. I update annually, and list all the extra bits needed to add at the last minute.

“I’ve never seen such destruction.” AIR7 got aerial views of the wildfire devastation in Pacific Palisades.

Wow. Sky News caught Gavin Newsom using a fake phone call to avoid a desperate Mom and victim of the fires. He pretended to be on the phone with the President and she caught him.
His political career should be over after this!

And insurance companies should be free to create pools which bundle common risks (or exit high risk markets completely) without fear of being accused of various ‘isms and phobias.
The common one here is “not available North of the Tropic of Capricorn”.
Some Queenssslanders would have you believe that this is a plot by Sydney-Canberra-Melbourne to oppress them, but it is really just about risk.
Have you ever heard of a Temperate Cyclone?
No.
They’re called Tropical Cyclones for a reason
What did authorities expect?
They assumed all cultures are equal.
Not equal; the leftoids hate the West and class ‘cultures’ like the muzzies and 3rd nations as being superior to but oppressed by the wicked West. It’s the basis of victimology which is destroying the West. It’s as simple as that: the left hate the West and betray it.

Mine went up too, but not by that much.
The insured value automatically increases unless I elect to hold it at the same level.
When I broke it down, a big chunk was that increase in insured value and, after talking to a couple of builders, I decided to leave it at the higher level.
A massive part of “insurance premium profiteering” is construction costs with the attendant regulatory overlay of re-building to the 2024 regulations.
The Santa Ana winds that fanned the destruction of Pacific Palisades occur maybe 10-20 times per year. Most commonly in the fall and winter, peaking in December.
Any fire chief and LA Mayor MUST know this, plan for this, fund and prepare for this. So must all the California State Administration. All the way up to Newscum.
Reports coming out that the LA Mayor (who went to Ghana when the fires started) has a Cuban Marxist history.
UK gives up island to Mauritius. Decides it needs the base and offers 9 billion for lease.Monumental stupidity
m0ron,
Why aren’t you in here defending the leftard Newscum and his woke DEI LGBTQI+ freakshow LA fire dept chiefs?
Inside every leftard tyrant is a sniveling lying coward.
Where this is headed:-
1. On 19th January, Biden will offer Newsom one hundred and eleventy guzzillion dollars to “Build Back Better” … “you get a mansion, and you get a mansion … everyone gets a mansion!”
2. Ten seconds after inauguration, the baying press mob will start howling at Trump to “re-affirm the Federal commitment of aid to Cowifornia”.
3. No matter what Trump says or does, this will be his “George Dubya / Hurricane Katrina moment”.
I remember when the concept of memes first came out.
A meme was really just a block of human memory that was powerful enough to withstand social transmission. Like the concept of Christianity, or Islam, or Global Warming.
It seems there are good memes, bad memes, and comic memes.
The concept has changed now into a “Mind Virus” that describes its predatory nature.
Nice space stuff this weekend. Bezos is hoping to launch his bigger better rocket on Sunday:
Blue Origin’s first orbital launch now targeting Sunday (Phys.org, 9 Jan)
I hope he succeeds – if he does it’ll be only the second launcher that lands back on Earth to be reused. But first launch attempts are always iffy, so a rapid unscheduled disassembly is not unexpected.
Elon is not a man to be upstaged though, his even bigger rocket is due to launch on Monday. And hopefully they plan to catch it with the chopsticks.

That would make it Tuesday our time for the live coverage. I can’t do the timezones in my head but I think that would be about breakfast time AEDT.
Reports that Musk-rat has been asked to retrieve the stranded NASA astronauts from the International Space Station.
No doubt Boeing and NASA to foot the bill.
Man, that will make lefty heads explode.
I reckon NASA have been given the heads up. Come 21st January, if you can’t commit to getting them back by end February the job is going to Musk. And, if you do commit and fail, heads will roll.
Lahaina will be Trump’s fault too.
The concept has changed now into a “Mind Virus” that describes its predatory nature.
SF writer John Barnes has a whole series of novels on that concept.
So many many drones.

The UK Government is working with law enforcement and its counter-extremism unit to actively monitor Elon Musk for mean tweets about their failure to protect children from Pakistani Muslim rape gangs. According to GB News, the measures have been put in place in order to identify risks to Britain’s national security, and involve increased monitoring and surveillance.
The nilists continue to march forward.
I thought the astronauts on the ISS already had a ride home organised on a Dragon?
Fiction is where it belongs.
As Calli said, what a grubby little place England has become.
‘According to GB News, the measures have been put in place in order to identify risks to Britain’s
national securityleftist Establishment and their multicultural Potemkin village.’Meanwhile, carrying water for his UK Labour mates, Albanese has labelled Musk’s tweets a form of foreign interference.

And that is a picture the Muslims love to see – A Leader of the Jewish Community on his knees – begging for the muslims to stop the beatings.
When are the Australian Jews going to fight back?
now watch British cop shows and not think about how inappropriate the portrayal is?
We started watching new series Missing You on Netflix last night and lasted 25 minutes.
Central premise is black supercop lady on way to work takes down a violent offender armed with a knife after unsuccessfully trying to empathise with him. Message: nice and fair but tough.
Arrives at work, which is full of diverse characters and some old white blokes on the way out. Immediately goes into Batgirl mode leaping into the car searching for latest missing Bod. Takes along with her new hire soy boy who is super-good with computers. He just happens to have the laptop and lead when they find Missing Bod’s car. Breaks into car in seconds.
Sets the scene for super tough ladies who show the way to pale stale males who if they only wise up get to carry the boss lady’s latte.

Mind you it is by Harlan Coben, whose works always seem full of woke characters.
