Happy-Go-Lucky Australia Is Feeling Neither Happy, Nor Lucky

Happy-Go-Lucky Australia Is Feeling Neither Happy, Nor Lucky

Example? -
Oddly many of those supporting the view ‘There are good people on both side’ that arose in the aftermath of Neo Nazis marching in Charlottesville chanting ‘Jews will not replace us’ are now reborn as pro Jewish and pro-Israel’s actions in Gaza. Perhaps because it’s Muslim civilians being slaughtered, starved and denied access to medical treatment. I suggest press pause and turning the news on…. Oh and watching it. At the very least, when you hear a Trump supporter expressing their views on Spielberg’s remarks, examine their response to Trump’s views on the aftermath of Charlottesville. You might, and it’s only a suggestion, examine the views of those you accuse of being Jew haters to the neo Nazi marches in Charlottesville. There’s been a lot of swapping sides going on.

In the absence of evidence you offered an unsubstantiated opinion. -

Still no evidence presented yo back up the claims that Australia’s current economic woes are cause by immigrants. -
Here’s an idea for an intelligent response to this nonsense: ”I wouldn't be at all surprised to see temporary lockdowns for climate based reasons in the next decade. Just very short ones, just to test the waters.” If it came out of the mouth of someone sitting next to me on a bus I’d move seats and get off at the very next stop.

The UK must cancel it's triple lock for OAP

The constant blearing from a vociferous few on the political right suggests a great deal of pain and anguish. -

Julian Assange faces further wait over extradition ruling

He was hiding from justice, he hid at the Embassy of a nation with a deplorable record on suppression of the press and murder of journalists, but which had at the time Assange fled into the embassy a President who had made a political career out of thumbing his nose at the U.S. An election in Ecuador removed Assange’s benefactor, Assange was then back to being held accountable for his own behavior.

That’s a remarkable claim noobe. Now let me see you quote a post of mine in which I have done any of that. I’ll put kettle on while you wriggle. -

Agreed. My point was that NI contributions are directly linked to receiving a state pension. We often read the common refrain ‘I paid my NI I therefore am entitled to my pension’ or words to that effect. The link is clearly in people’s minds that they receive something very tangible for their NI Contributions. -

So identify something I have said about NI contributions that is incorrect.
