Great news if those principles come over to Aseannow. 

Sounds this this change will be a good one.

Scotland leading the pack as always.

Hardly. Sunak did this months ago. They are following Westminster for once, and rightly so.

Why is it Scots are much more intelligent than ordinary people?

Have you ever been to Scotland? 😃

Wow.

Finally the Scottish government gets something right. This pointless virtue signalling about the "climate emergency" by western governments at the expense of the their own citizens quality of life has to stop. Great to see the Scottish government follow Westminster's lead on this.

Good news for Sunak on a day that he lost another MP. And this one's a scorcher!

Losing an MP? I guess everything is relative but it is hardly a disaster, especially when compared to your boy who is getting absolutely slaughtered at the polls and whose brother in law is being done for throwing someone off the top of a block of flats.

You obviously don't know how to read the table. Q4 2023, in this part of the table, is the yearly growth (% change on a year ago). The quarterly growth is in the first part of the table.

What about France?

0.1% growth (UK) is better than 0.3% shrinking (Germany) for 2023 as a whole.

It depends which indicator is used. I don't know how 2024 will turn out to be, but in 2023, as concerns GDP growth, UK did not fare better than Germany and worse than France.

How is the UK not doing better than Germany?

The fact is, only 4 years since Brexit there has been no "cliffedge" and the UK economy is outperforming the EU's largest economy, Germany.

I'm just pointing out that Project Fear was a pack of lies. I said at the time it was, and now I have the figures to back it up. So yes, we did know what we were voting for. Could have been even better without Theresa May, but the losers/traitors were always going to make it difficult.

What I can't see is an answer to my question asking you to identify the mistakes that you are claim were by the UK and that Australia is now in danger of following.

Importing intolerant religious extremists and terrorists.

Is that clear enough for you to understand?

I totally agree with Cotton.

Of course the police should do it. But when the police consistently fail the people, this is what happens.

The police are responsible for this scene, not citizens who have consistently been failed by them.

I never mentioned her looks.

 

 

You implied it was bizarre that someone could fancy her. 

Of course attractiveness is not all physical. It can also be personality. But we all know your argumentative nature and political views. So let's see the final piece of the jigsaw. Those over 60 feminist bike rides must have kept you in great shape so don't be shy. Post a pic, we can compare you to Truss since you think attractiveness is so important. We can judge you, as you judged her. 

Interestingly the authorities are refusing to release the religion of the attacker or the religious cry he shouted immediately before the attack.

Fascinating. It must have been a member of the "far right" or a neo nazi group. They always refuse to name them when any form of protest remotely conservative happens. 😄 .

It was good to see the congregation act so quickly in subduing the attacker. Kudos to the brave individuals that tackled him and saved the bishops life. Apparently he lost some fingers by the time he left the church in custody, but one must assume he was over zealous with his own weapon while launching his attempted slaying. 

Also interesting that his age has changed from 15 to 16. I wonder if the initial information was to justify silence about his identity. Or maybe he just thought turning sweet 16 was a great day for a massacre? Lets not judge him on that. After all, one has to accommodate culture differences doesn't one...

I've checked Candide's posts in this thread and none answer my question (no reason why they should). Consequently, I still can't be sure what mistakes Australia and the UK have made. I wouldn't want to misinterpret your meaning, so why don't you spell it out.

 

I am neither evil nor insane so - like any other right-minded person - condemn any act of barbarism such as this.

 

Diversity isn't necessarily good but neither is it the root of all evil as right-wing ideologues would have us believe.

If you really cant see why importing religious terrorism against assyrians from the middle east into Sydney suburbs is a problem then I really cant help you.

Perhaps you are once again looking for something else? In which case I wish you well with your search, you won't find it here, much as you'd like to. Your insatiable demand is outstripping supply.

I recall a member of this forum posting that he fancied her.

 

Let that sink in.

Resorting to ridiculing someone's looks is always loathsome and hateful.

Perhaps you could post a pic of yourself so we could compare and contrast? Given the content of your posts and your charity bike rides with the Womens Institute I'm sure you're a real beaut x
