    A link to Adam Pigott’s latest musing.

    I like the way he thinks, may not agree with everything he says but read it and make up your mind.

    I think Adam the admin of this site would do well for the forum to let people guest-post.

    Someone like Arky or some others from the old Cat would be a good start.

    If they are willing of course.

    Peace.

    I’m at work and have to listen to the bloody radio ..my god they are going to hear from me..I had enough of listening to this bullshit.

    They need calling out and they need to be read the riot act.

    The rural city of Shepparton is now in the grip of medical martial law with a third of its residents compelled into isolation.

    The big list of exposure sites in a place this size guarantees that a big percentage of the population will have been in one or more of the businesses marked for the pox.

    TaliDan and Bambi Sutton are effectively shutting down the ability of Shepparton to function for its citizens.

    420 medical staff have been stood down to add to the dictated chaos.

    The stupidity of this is breathtaking.

    The opposition should announce that they will hold a royal commission into Andrew’s and Sutton’s management of the pandemic if elected.

    They pick Shepperton to tyrannize because it’s regional and there are only 3 white left there.

    Mark A not agreeing with everything is a mark (no pun intended) of a conservative. Change happens slowly. Agood idea is challenged, if it stands up to scrutiny it may get accepted. I am hard pushed to think of a single thing the left has produced except a swath of destruction. For them its a race to the bottom, no idea is too crazy. Off to check my wife’s heart.

    MP Suzanna Sheed from Shepparton, fuck off with the Army packing your groceries.  You have a whole city full of voters.  Show some courage and organise your people, and tell Andrews that you will not be repressed

    The Army is not a substitute for democracy.  Using them simply supports Andrews.  Grow up.

    Ms Berejiklian will announce a non-restriction for the vaccinated this week. I wonder what it will be and how do authorities check.  Do the vaxxed need to carry a receipt  confirmation  document from the doctor or do they show their MyGov to a security guard or someone which seems a violation.

    Or is a card still in the works to be produced that says vax status.

    Old School, re the millions unemployed and truck drivers, the problem is that driving heavy vehicles isn’t easy and the heavier and bigger they are the harder it is. Throw in unbelievably stupid regulations, onerous fines for even minor infractions and that you may at best get home once a week sometimes once a fortnight or longer and then you’ll see why there’s a shortage. The pay around $1200k to $120k may sound good but you live like a dog in the truck for most of the year, always tired and worn out. There’s been a big influx of turban wearers into the game however most appear to have little skill or training, how they get licenced is beyond me.

    I have always said that Australia has some real cultural problems and they are now coming home to bite nus on the backside ….badly.

     

    The least Christian of the anglosphere nations, replacing it with the religion of bureaucracy, and with a disgusting chip on their shoulders due to their own political ignorance and idiocy…….which stems from a lack of ethics due to the first point, they couldn’t stand “Yanks”….you know, they were so stupid compared to Aussies……….really?

    I can guarantee you as a tour driver of many years, Australians are the worst tourists, why?

    Because they know everything.

    Yet they know nothing.

    But the very worst is the fuck you Jack, I’m alright mentality.

     

    I have grown to hate my country and countrymen even before covid and I must say, if my family and myself weren’t trapped here, I’d be laughing at this expected outcome.

    The disgusting adherence to “Safety” was born out of needing an excuse to be lazy and do nothing, and the land that could have been a superpower with resouces to make actual superpowers envious, wallowed in pathetic mediocrity.

    Never standing for anything but thinking they can “get around” everything, which we see combined with the “fuck you Jack I’m alright’ mentality when certain industries and people want “exemptions” from covid tyranny.

    Unprincipled shit.

    Let’s not forget the boring………….what a fucking boring, boring culture, where the men are meatheads, hence they keep the opium of the masses, football going for them to take their minds off their country being stolen, (like handing a guard dog a bone) and the women have way too much to say, and are mostly as ugly as a hat full of arseholes due to being ugly on the inside.

    Tattooed to the point of being aptly labelled scenic roots, except you’d rather rub one out than let them anywhere near your knob.

     

    However, there are about 1 million out of 26 million that are worth fighting and dying for.

    What a bugger of a situation.

    So NSW residents locked in their homes being told they can only come out when they accept the new social order of getting ‘a jab’ when ordered to, and that you require a government issued license to walk down the street, go to work and enter shops.

    Nobody at all accurately predicted this back in March 2020.

    The blackest pill is that the people who were 100% wrong then, mocking and ‘don’t be so hysterical’ing, continue being 100% wrong now, and continue onwards as they line up for their phone to be scanned by the menacing police officers eying them off with contempt and suspicion at their presence outside their house.

    Just take a look at the USA – population down by about 130,000,000 (what happened to the millions of country shoppers) and GDP of less than a quarter of 2011.

    Someone is putting in a lot of hard work to destroy this country, and the free world with it.

    struth, don’t paint everyone as thinking the same way.  Yes, it’s true, that some women virtue signal, as do other groups for different reasons: see school teachers and climate change, but even so, not every school teacher.

    Min, I have travelled through WA a couple of Months ago.

    Crossed the Nullabor, worked over there for a few weeks between Geraldton and Albany and all points in between.

    Not ever covid tested, never jabbed, never wore a mask.

    But, hey, I’m not human, I was an interstate truck driver then.

    You people over there a MUSHROOMS.

    Australia, being isolated and imprisoned are being fed bullshit.

    However Perth is the most isolated English speaking city in the world.

    You people have Mushroom-id 19 worse than anyone on the planet.

    The amount of times I heard “well, we’re doing alright over here because the borders are closed” was INSANE.

    Think about it.

    I pull up im a truck straight from Melbourne and they tell me …..me…..how happy they are the borders are closed.

    They say it to me.

    So I can only conclude they see me as a non human, unable to spread the disease.

    This is the level of insanity reached.

    The nation has been driven insane due to our isolation and imprisonment, and none moreso than the Western Australians.

    It works on the degree of isolation.

    I don’t think Australia can come back from this.

    Japan’s health ministry said Thursday it has received reports from several domestic mass vaccination centers that some portion of the unused doses of Moderna Inc.’s COVID-19 vaccine have been found to contain foreign materials.

    Japanese drugmaker Takeda Pharmaceutical Co., which is in charge of sales and distribution of the Moderna vaccine in the country, said it is suspending the use of around 1.63 million doses manufactured in the same production line as a precaution.

    ’Close to one-third of Greater Shepparton’s workforce is in isolation, and that means reduced milk and fruit production, fewer trucks to Melbourne carrying our produce to the world, and lower productivity in what is usually a manufacturing powerhouse.

    Many people not in the workforce – vulnerable people, retirees, and children – are also locked down, and can’t go out to access food and other necessities…’

    Its OK, get on the railway wagon. There’ll be fine meals, luxurious accomodation and showers at the camp.

    I realised about 20 years ago that most people, if they get a call from the government at 7pm that there will be a bus to take them to the camp at 7 am next morning, the only question will be “what should I pack?”.

    We went to the dentist yesterday. Lets just say that I’ve known Dr K for a very long time.

    First, he basically ordered my missus to Stop Worrying About The Covid. Which, she actually took on board. She won’t listen to me so that was a good outcome.

    Secondly, the doc’s rational, sensible, scientifical and above all, patriarchal, influence has pervaded the entire dental group. The staff were maskless although behind perspex. no hysterics and obsessing over check-in questionnaires. No warning tape on alternate seats in the waiting room (do youse have this in other states?)

    It’s all him. He’s managed to actually calm them all the fuck down

    It’s too hard to explain in short form … the whole thing was very refreshing.

    Was like going back in time 2 years and being around normal rational people again

    Before he became demented biden was a corrupt, arrogant, stubbornly stupid bastard. Senility will not mask the old pedo’s personality traits, it will in fact magnify them. I am beginning to think the old mongrel is making a lot of these decisions, no doubt on the basis of his vast political experience (sarc off). There is, also, no doubt other people pulling the strings for the old dirtbag – rice, obuma, the squad, the rest of the swamp – but I believe he has considerable input.

    At the end of the day, the disasters confronting the US, all of them will be caused to a lessor or greater extent but this vile man.
