Rabz’ Radio Show April 2022: Disco
Cats, due to popular demand, here we are. I’m not even going to pretend that it’s one of my favourite musical genres, but nonetheless, there are some diamonds in the dirt.

Irony is the second casualty of war
Searched but haven’t found anything. Irony is hard to find in wartime; most particularly among the Left. That covers, among others, most politicians and mainstream media pundits.

Lord of the Flies
Last Friday a few hundred young schoolgirls and schoolboys, all of whom should be in school, participated in a “climate strike” outside the Prime Minister’s Sydney residence, Kirribilli House. As we know, this protest about “climate change’ was yet another one of those same school strikes that have been occurring across the West since 2018.…
