To this, let me add, from Sunpak’s controller:
And this from a social media watcher:
You see, there comes a point where we can no longer hide the head, unless we want it chopped off.
Firstly, Kathy Barnette sums it up
The same sex abomination
50 Republican scumbags voted with the Demonrats in the House to push same sex "marriage", despite such a thing being an impossibility.
Now there is a crucial point being missed here
Though the Demonrats and RINOs are evil muvvers, they're known-knowns and though they should be executed, yes, that needs to be later down the track. Something else far worse is happening.
Most Republicans voted in McCarthy as House Leader. McConnell was voted back in by secret ballot. There were Republicans who did that.
Secret ballot, just think about that. That included MAGAs.
Betrayal BY MAGAs, not of MAGAs
We're not meant to notice.
MTG, who previously sent cheques to McCarthy, the RINO, was one who voted for him in to be house leader. (She's also currently being divorced but that's another story. So she betrayed Lake, Boebert, all the others cheated out of their seats.
Steve Bannon just did a Rumble in which he tells everyone just to accept the losses ... they happened, just forget about it. He goes into deep depression and wants his viewers to as well.
He then interviews MTG, who sent cheques to McCarthy and voted for him, onto his programme and she bangs on about all the OTHER things ... but NOT on her betrayal of her voters by backing McCarthy. And Bannon never asks.
Almost 20 years ago, hundreds of furious New Zealand farmers jumped into their tractors, farm bikes and trucks and ploughed up Wellington’s main street towards parliament to kick up a stink against the so-called “fart tax” – a levy on livestock methane gases, proposed by the then-Labour government to reduce emissions.
A cow named Energy was led up the building’s granite steps and left an unwelcome mess in her wake. In doing so, she provided the opposition movement with a powerful, if indelicate, visual metaphor: rural New Zealand was ready for a mudslinging match with the capital.
Just months later, the government abandoned the tax.
That was then. And the government bided its time:
But last month – 19 years after Energy’s memorable performance – the current Labour-government proposed a not-too-dissimilar plan to the ill-fated “fart tax”, with a crucial difference: it had been broadly created by farmers themselves.
All the farmers? Well, maybe not:
“As everyone knows, the farming lobby is one of the strongest,” says Dr Adrian Macey, an adjunct professor in climate change research at Victoria University of Wellington and senior associate at the Institute for Governance and Policy Studies. But there is growing division within the sector, he says – those who are “ready to be part of the solution”, and those who feel “very oppressed by not only climate change measures but all government regulation”.
Who can blame them?
Macey says the plan could pave the way for other countries to follow suit. “[New Zealand] is probably the first country to set a hard target on agricultural methane and the first country to put a levy on it,” he said. “We’re showing world leadership on what you can do with the sector – no one has gone there before us.”
Don't mind if we all just sit back and watch to see what happens, then, Adrian?
There is nothing wrong in principle with protesting at the opera. I’ve very occasionally booed shows I hated, and I want to be free to do so again if I choose.
Why..? You've a column in the 'Guardian' to rip it to shreds the next morning, why ruin everyone else's enjoyment?
Booing and whistling at the opera or theatre can sometimes be healthy and necessary protest.
Really? I'm not an opera goer, so it never even crossed my mind that this might be a thing. I've been to theatre performances I thought were rubbish, but I just left before the end...
What happened at Covent Garden on Tuesday evening, however, wasn’t booing but heckling.
Oh, really? Trust a 'Guardian' writer to be able to draw a distinction...
The target was Malakai M Bayoh, a 12-year-old boy soprano...
That's not the most stand-out thing, though, is it, Martin?
I’d add for the record that, as far as I could tell, the heckling was not racist (Bayoh is a black boy from south London), although it may have been.
Maybe the chap should be given his own column in the paper to tell us why he did it?
But there is a wider issue to consider here. Expressing one’s dissent against a production or a performance is often unattractive and sometimes (as here) unmerited. But it can have its place. Not always, but sometimes. It’s a tricky line to draw and to police. But I hope theatres do not start making it a requirement of attendance not to boo or protest, let alone make booing punishable by a lifetime ban.
"If I do it, it's necessary and needful. If you do it, it's wrong!" That ought to be the 'Guardian's' new strapline.
It might be an idea, Laura, to spare a thought as well for little boys, having their crown jewels cut off. Best not to narrowly focus too much on just the one gender, horrifying though it is and requiring all to cry out about it. Both genders though are facing this from "parents" who've taken leave of their senses and have embraced sheer evil.
I mean, this must be an April Fool? Surely?
Assistant Commissioner Matt Jukes, the Metropolitan Police's new 'HeForShe Gender Equality Lead'...
Wait, what? That's a genuine post? FFS!
...wore the 'Menovest' garment in a meeting to mark Menopause Awareness Month.
Couldn't he just mark it without a stunt?
For instance, by getting his PA to write something cobbled together off Internet articles, like normal people who want to get shot of this pointless task so they can get on with real work?
... as the heat came to him in 'waves' while he attended the force's Environment and Sustainability Board, he had a feeling of 'Oh no, not now' and 'an anticipation before really losing my train of thought'.
I think that particular train left the station a long, long time ago...
Mr Jukes' Menovest experience was headline news on the Met's intranet this week.
And if they have a Yammer network, I bet it was humming...
On the principle of don't invest in what you don't understand I wouldn't invest in Twitter, Meta, or "crypto". Amazon, though, looks like a conventional business. I could imagine investing in it. I'm amused by its policy that paying corporation tax is fruitless so instead it pays high salaries so it can attract good people. Which results, of course, in more tax revenue for HMG because income tax rates are higher than corporation tax.
