Slimy, de-balled overpaid bureaucrats, that is, not Orcas:
‘Harbourmaster stood down over orca rescue’
and, entirely unrelated, one of Wabbit’s favourite places in his early yoof:
‘The sale of the world’s largest cattle station – Anna Creek in the far north of South Australia – has settled today after eight months of negotiations.
…Anna Creek and the associated outstation, The Peake, cover 23,677 sq km of pastoral land, which will double the size of Williams Cattle Company’s holdings to some 45,000 sq km. Together, they have a capacity for 35,000 cattle…’
Stunningly beautiful – but very unforgiving – country.
The author and newspaper columnist AA Gill has died at the age of 62, following a brief battle with cancer.
..”He was the heart and soul of the paper. His wit was incomparable, his writing was dazzling and fearless, his intelligence was matched by compassion. Adrian was a giant among journalists…” Link
His restaurant reviews were sometimes scathing, sometimes very funny and always informed and entertaining. But Wabbit’s favourite piece is this:
‘Towton, the bloodbath that changed the course of our history’
The man sure could write!
‘Fury as murder probe is launched into all killings by British soldiers in Northern Ireland
EX-SERVICEMEN in their 60s and 70s are set to be investigated under a new inquiry launched into 302 killings by British troops in Northern Ireland…’
But no mention of the terrorists given “get out of jail free” cards by Tony (vomit) Blair.
‘TV ad showing people drumming a rhythm on baked bean cans banned on safety grounds. A Heinz television advert showing people drumming a rhythm on its baked bean cans has been banned by British regulators on safety grounds.
The Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) ruled that Heinz’s Can Song advert should not be broadcast again in its current form after nine people complained that the ad encouraged unsafe practices or could be dangerous for children to copy. Over 1.6 million people viewed a version of the ad on YouTube…’
I’m so bloody sick and tired of this garbage. A few pants-wetters with no lives and nothing better to do than whine can deprive millions of people of something they (harmlessly) enjoy. What’s even worse is that it gives a bunch of unelected, narrow-minded assholes the power to tell us what we cannot see.
We now live in a world ruled by the lowest common denominator, and instead of making the useless bastards improve their act, governments and bureaucracies drag us all down to the level of the deadheads and fuckwits.
So…the template for the “good citizen” is some 16 year-old ignorant girlie with zero life experience and a head stuffed full of celebrity garbage and propaganda. A hysterical flower who wouldn’t know a fact if it bit her on the ass, and that suits our lords and masters just fine.
After all, if you were building a mindless, compliant herd, would you go looking for intelligent life?
‘Just this week National’s Environment Minister Nick Smith announced to the House that the highly controversial Mana Whakahono a Rohe Agreements – designed by Iwi Leaders to give Maori tribes exclusive control over all natural resources (including fresh water) in their areas – are being included in the Resource Legislation Amendment Bill…’
