They / them (don’t really care, but it saves bigots having to do any proper reading before deciding to hate me).

Exile from GunaiKurnai Country.
Found it!

I thought I’d deleted it (I had, but it was still in limbo):

“… but having had a system for hundreds of years” that allowed the public real influence on criminal justice has helped protect the interests of common people, and its importance should not be dismissed as a way to continue the disastrous austerity project of a previous government.

Have we heard from #Israel yet about this clear example of #Antisemitism in UK Parliamentary record-keeping?

He’s definitely not the hero the right paint him as, although he does his best to ally himself with the rapists, paedophiles, sex offenders and misogynists the right love to love.

Maybe the tiny few who still think he is an anti-elite rebel are too few to propel him into government?

My house in Australia had a full-wall living room window.

From a metre away from it, it was impossible to see any sign of human existence beyond, just unobstructed view to snow-capped peaks in winter and grazing kangaroos in the early morning.

Bliss.

… AFTER reporting that speculation on the budget harms the country.

Budget speculation starts earlier in the year, and lasts longer, than Christmas.

… except for the hoohah about Tesco ‘festive trees’, obviously.

Local news can sometimes feel a little parochial - “Minor functionary retires after 60 years of unnoticed dedication” - but in Australia they think differently.

Pam, a school crossing supervisor in Victoria, hasn’t retired,

… but she HAS got a new hat 🥳

Just out of shot is Chad in his Dodge Ram, about to drive across safely with Mary Sue after asking her parents to dismount and walk across separately.

I can’t decide if this is genuine.

I understand that people in Renaissance Italy usually wore black and sepia clothing in photographs, but wasn’t the Mona Lisa painted in colour?

Maybe it was an early draft 🤷‍♂️

Family who own country estate hated having to climb stairs every time they had to feed the shameful relatives, so installed an underground attic.

#Hypocrisy in the Anglican Church.

A bishop who gives (at least tacit) support to anti-migrant protests says “God doesn’t have favouritism”.

I wonder if he has explained this to Tommy Robinson, who says he would die for “God’s favourite #WarCriminal people”.

The REAL reason #NigelFarage no longer sits in the Commons chamber but supposedly up in the visitors gallery, just out of sight, so MPs can hear and smell him but not see him:

Interesting that #TACO #Trump finally surrendered the #Epstein files only after ordering an investigation into Democrats involvement.

Any evidence relating to Bill #Clinton being fellated by ‘persons of interest’ Will need to be redacted.

I wonder who benefits 🤔

When did we last see a headline like this about a European country that had taken territory by force from a neighbour (Ukraine), bribed a parliamentary representative (Gill), interfered with UK politics, elections and referendums (including Brexit) owned a PM (Johnson) and chief adviser (Cummings) …

When will #NickRobinson be spending ten minutes giving a platform to those wrongly arrested and later de-arrested for placards saying they “do not support #Palestine INaction”, or “support Plasticine Action”?

… or is their behaviour not vile enough for the notoriously #NeutralNick?

Obviously it is illegal to murder people at sea, in international waters.

That is a space reserved for abducting law-abiding civilians, including #UK citizens, to torture and sexually abuse them, and to steal humanitarian aid intended to stop babies starving to death.
