OT: Current Affairs and Politics

[JokerEel]

I was listening to the BBC world service for awhile this afternoon.

I thought I’d been been following Qatar Owned Al Jazeera and it’s very graphic pro-Palestinian covering for awhile.

What a disappointment.

The airtime devoted to the war on the middle east was extremely limited.

I mean there’s more time on the big American networks.

The bbc covered Poland, the Ukraine, Belgium, Argentina, Brazil, China,Philippines…

Then another rant on poetry and third wave feminism.

Thats pretty much the end of the BBC for me.

I expect massive coverage, this war will have all kinds of long lasting impacts and thousands of people are getting wiped out daily.

The BBC is not a news service…they are away with the fairy’s.

World world three would arrive and they’d be down a cave with a feminist who argues the sun is part of a patriarchal plot.

I thought BBC was a hardware store...

BBC “world service”

Even the dog was trying to stick her head out the window of the car so she couldn’t hear it.

“8 years in a hole on the ground, Martha is a member of the cavern, a group that believes the sun is oppressive.”

 

[Bandwagon]

Don't need anymore reading besides a terrorist group.

Well that's a shame.

 

[JokerEel]

Well that's a shame.

That they are a terrorist group?

 

[Bandwagon]

That they are a terrorist group?

Nope, that's just how it is.

Hard to argue with any elements of the analysis in the official statement from the Indigenous leaders and organisations which supported the unsuccessful referendum campaign.

An official statement from the Yes camp says victory was impossible without bipartisan support.

The fable goes that Melinda the high priestess declared that because the sun is responsible for global warming, it is of male origin.

Accordingly members live in caves and only come out at night.

There are male members of the church, but they are in charge of cooking and the rearing of children.

Sometimes the men try to sneak into the womens sporting events, including bat training and weight lifting, but they don’t go so well.

So Trump's ego tells Aussie Pratt all about his subs. It gets out and is a scandal.

As usual, Trump has never spoke to the red headed weirdo about subs.



Oh and Sidney Powell, she wasn't his lawyer. Who was she ? She worked for someone else.

It’s a pathetic statement actually. To call over 60% of the population as having had the wool pulled over their eyes is stupidity and honestly laughable.

you will find the vast majority of Yes campaigners will absolutely distance themselves from this what was a jaded and poorly thought out statement that will do nothing but further hamper future chances at treaty/voice etc.

don’t take the public for fools, or try to make them out to be because your poor messaging didn’t land and was based on a totally flawed system.

this survey, with near 10k respondents is damning

You're entitled to your opinion and analysis, as are the first nations authors of the statement.

Not the majority of people that I've spoken with... but again you're entitled to your opinion and analysis, as are others.

Wasn't my messaging, and no argument from me that the Yes campaign was flawed from its very early stages (as I posted here at the time).

But that's not a survey of 10K Yes voters though, is it.

And either way, it doesn't take away the right of first nations authors of the statement to have their viewpoint and analysis, which I happen to listen to, respect, and agree with.

That’s a result of 10,000 people who read and most probably pay to read that newspaper. A year 7 student studying statistics could extract the bias from that article.

A true “poll” as we know it is a representative sample of the population. Pollsters try to match their sample against Australia’s voting population on multiple demographic factors, such as age, sex, income and location.

Kerry Stokes has launched a campaign against labor’s industrial relations reforms in the digital economy. So whilst they are fighting exploitation in the self employed food and person digital delivery workplace, Kerry says but but your hamburger will cost more.

Only people who still read newspapers would possibly agree with him

That's the problem with both sides of this argument there are no winners and not many are mature enough to have a proper conversation about it. Without going to insults. No wonder the silent majority voted No.

If you vote NO the other side want to label you a racist.

If you vote YES the other side want to label you as clueless & your supposedly harming the country.

The big loser out of this is the dope Albo if he is still in charge by February next year i would be shocked. He is an utter embarrassment and seems like he is another planet to the actual main issues in the country atm.

Yep the tide has turned big time on this idiot...

He was always an Idiot.

It was more to do with Scomo losing the last election then Albo winning it.

He got lucky he just happen to be the opposition leader and only had to let Scomo just keeping make a fool of himself during the last term.

Australian politics has never been in a more dire state.

Only reason I wanted Albo to get in to see him do the same stupid shit as Scomo and the lefties look the other way.

He does do something's though for the NRL!
