Cops showing their colours here?

Counter protesters?

Counter to what?
The Nazi cunts in town?
Or the Nazis who are counter to decent human values?

What hope for human humanity (let alone peace in the Middle East)?

The forever war... religion has so much to answer for.

Time for Americans to realise the NYT and WaPo ... are not FOR you, but against you.

HOLD UP. George Santos is the lead story on the @nytimes.com website on Saturday night? Not the millions of Americans protesting Donald Trump today at 2,700 events in all 50 states? Come on.

Same slice is only 4% for the Greens - yet the Green voters all send their kids to their churchy schools - odd bunch.

About 45 years ago, I went to a pre-opening public open day at Museum station (now known as Melbourne Central). Today I did the same at State Library station. Back then, afterwards I had a pie and sauce, today I'm having Char kway teow, because that's how this place has grown up.

Escalators from street level down to booking hall level at State Library station.

Biggest number here for the Losers and Numptie Party - people outing themselves as Protestant.
The thinnest slice of a changing electorate possible.

1. No one cares
2. Should have gone a decade ago/once he got on the piss
3. Should have gone after 'pissed bloke on pavement' episode
4. Fact he is still about tells you everything you need to know about the Nationals (and Libs)... unaccountable swill.

Football journo, clearly not caring about 40-50k deaths... until now, that an Israeli team has to come to the UK to play and "oh no wont someone think about the fans of the colonisers".

Nation-state should have been banned from all comps 2 yrs ago, not this crap of "just the visiting fans please"
