Tony Benn-5 Qs for a powerful person:”What power have you got? Where did you get it from? In whose interests do you exercise it? To whom are you accountable? And how can we get rid of you?” If you cannot get rid of the people who govern you, you do not live in a democratic system

The Curious Case of Claudine Gay. This is a detailed critique of President Gay’s academic and administrative history prior to her becoming President of Harvard.

It is worth a careful read. For those who are more familiar with the facts, I welcome your input as to the facts and issues alleged in this report. They appear worthy of further investigation and examination.

Emily Hand wasn't "lost". She was brutally abducted by the death squads that massacred her neighbors.

She wasn't "found". Hamas knew where she was all along and cynically held her as a hostage.

And Hamas didn't answer your prayers. It answered Israel's military pressure.

I hope everyone who is in London tomorrow will attend this. Show the world what Britain can be.

Released by terrorists - not “found”. She was not lost

[Leo Varadkar @LeoVaradkar]

This is a day of enormous joy and relief for Emily Hand and her family. An innocent child who was lost has now been found and returned, and we breathe a massive sigh of relief.  Our prayers have been answered.

[Douglas Murray @DouglasKMurray]

After watching the raw footage of Hamas´s 7th October terrorist attack, including the constant cries of "Allahu Akbar" (not least while cutting a young man's head off with a shovel) I'm not sure I ever want to hear those words screamed on British streets ever again.

Arguing that playgrounds should never have been shut or that outdoor exercise limits were ridiculous is the same as arguing that tens of thousands of people should have died.

Okie dokie. 🤪

But what is a woman, Julia?

A judge in the UK has ruled that not subscribing to Critical Race Theory is a protected belief under equality laws.

Sean Corby, an employee of the government’s workplace conciliation service Acas, was accused of promoting “racist ideas” for saying that he favoured Martin Luther King’s approach of judging people by the content of their character rather than the colour of their skin.

A landmark case and another victory for the Free Speech Union!

Now that Dan Andrews is gone it’s time for Melbourne to drop the stupid public holiday on a Friday ! Move it to Monday. Killing tourism and 15% surcharge on eating out for everyone on what should be a festive evening.

Do you reckon Anthony Albanese has been to a petrol station lately? Petrol prices are surging on his watch.

[Dr. Nick Coatsworth @nick_coatsworth]

Should we do everything reasonable to prevent infectious disease of all types affecting older Australians? Absolutely. Should we mutualise risk across the entire population by spending on unproven interventions, completely ignoring the well established concepts of QALYs and DALYs saved? Absolutely not.

[Dr. Nick Coatsworth @nick_coatsworth]

Yes, ventilation and masks are unproven strategies in the context of high primary vaccination levels and endemic disease. At this point the use of masks in aged care residences in the absence of evidence is a net harm to many residents with cognitive issues, hearing loss and social isolation. It makes nursing and caring for residents extraordinarily difficult.

Many of us who argues against the heavy handed responses from all Aust govts have been vindicated by this Covid inquiry. Joe Hildebrand sums it up https://t.co/HdxONqAzot

No surprises here

“Schools should have stayed open,” said the review. “For children and parents (particularly women), we failed to get the balance right between protecting health and imposing long-term costs on education, mental health,economy,workforce.

If you’re admiring the brave women in Iran ripping their hijabs off in defiance of the authoritarian regime yet celebrated when “anti-maskers” got beaten on the streets of Melbourne… you, my friend, are a hypocrite.

[discocat @disco___cat]

A pint of beer in many Melbourne pubs and clubs is now $15. I’d hazard a guess this is more of a factor than Covid in explaining what’s causing low attendance at gigs. https://t.co/0ESoLAuR8s

UK's Five-Year Bonds Now Yield More Than Italy or Greece.
Wow.

Now we must respect individual rights! Waiting for Dan & co to say it as well

[Avi Yemini @OzraeliAvi]

And just like that, Jacinda Ardern declares, “we all just need to respect people’s individual decisions”.

Never forget or forgive what she did.

@GemmaTognini Is this the same Union who wanted to refuse treatment to the unvaccinated ?
