/ 19th May 2019But amusing that whenever the Left think they are being really smart they are usually being really stupid.
Like Sportsbet Australia.

What on earth do people like that annoying schoolgirl with her bossy, hectoring manner think that school ‘strikes’ will achieve ? Bugger all, I would say. I hate to think what sort of adult that girl will grow into.

/ 19th May 2019There was a ridiculous story on 3 about a protest at a (proposed ? I missed a bit) water bottling plant. They had a huge pile of ‘single use’ bottles (speak for yourselves; the odd time when I have bought water, after forgetting my own little bottle, I have reused the bottle and then recycled it) and an obviously primed child claimed that the extra bottles would all end up on the beach. Again, speak for yourself. Most of us don’t take plastic bottles to the beach and leave them there !
The protestors were so ill-informed or so bent on misinforming that they did their cause far more harm than good. Own goal !
