Sep. 19th, 2022 06:53 pmFor my Australian reader...
The one-off Public Holiday of Mourning for Elizabeth II will also be a day of double demerit points for road & traffic offences... like the other Public Holiday periods that are Long Weekends, or longer. I must say I find myself astounded to be in agreement with Ben Fordham of radio station 2GB, but this really does stink of cynical cash-grabbing, rather than a road safety measure
And on a lighter note... an anti-vaccination protester (surely a redundant species by now?!?) thinks street lights are some sort of Government weapon - because they were pointing straight down at where the protesters were
So much to mock here... the fact that they're still banging on about loss of personal freedom, when they can do everything a vaccinated person can do now (except hopefully survive a bout of Covid19), the fact that good old, reliably fucking stupid ex-member of Parliament & all-round ignorant git Craig Kelly thinks that the words "awake, free and unvaxxed" are pronouns, the fact that getting vaccinated for Covid has ALWAYS BEEN VOLUNTARY, NOT MANDATORY, the presence of a YouTube 'celebrity' who calls himself the Aussie Cossack, freshly released from gaol after breaching a court order & publicly naming a paedophile at an anti-vaxx rally (Question... Why? You know what, it doesn't matter logic is not at home to these people), fiercely pro-Putin & lauded by the aforementioned fucking idiot Craig Kelly & obviously a bit deficient in the old mental arithmetic...
"First day back from jail, straight to the front lines, marching with thousands of like-minded patriots against this government bureaucracy,” he said in a video shared early Saturday.
“Today we are sending a very clear message. A message of defiance.”
Firstly - thousands?? I think not. Second - patriots?? Hardly. Thirdly - defiance of what? Of whom??
Most likely of reality, as far as I can tell...
