In which Akker Dakker does a Mary Poppins impersonation ...

This day it falls to the pond not to express pious sentiments in the support of the commercial exploitation of mothers, but to explore the Terrorists out and about, cheekily parading in the Sunday Terror, sauntering about like the brazen reptiles they are ...

Now the budget is long gone from the front pages. How does the pond know? Just check out the front pages of the trash tabloids, as they move on to other matters ...

  

But lurking within theres a goodly, bigly crop of haters, obsessive compulsive peddlers - canvassers, cheapjack hawkers, mongers, hucksters, solicitors if you will - of fear and loathing ... and none are more predictable than Akker Dakker, bloated Bunter of the Terror remove ...

Now the pond can already hear some squeaking from the mice in the skirting board ... should anyone have to endure this form of budget analysis ...?

... when the Terrorists have this ...

... to deal with this shameless Disney lover ...

Oh okay, the pond is bored up the wazoo with Akker Dakker's already familiar litany, given a good pounding yesterday in the lizard Oz by their reptiles and already covered muchly by the pond.

But that's the point. No matter how muchly or how bigly, the reptiles just keep on and on, repeating themselves over and over again, like a 'bot or a 'droid with a short circuit. The ultimate unpleasant result can see the first three Star Wars films turn up in a prequel, with the only discernible difference a new title ... 

The Malware haters are going to keep going on about this sort of stuff for the next year ... bring back the onion muncher will be the ongoing cry, along with the rest of the usual ...

By golly, the pond hasn't heard "won't someone think of the smokers" for awhile ... though it doesn't have quite the same ring as the dog botherer's "won't someone think of the grandchildren" or nattering "Ned's" wail, "won't someone think of the suffering millionaires" ...

If anyone's worried about welfare, might it not be better to stop folks smoking themselves in to an early grave because that's the only pleasure they can find in the land of the rich, or ending up in the hospital system, to routinely confound the doctors (the pond is tired of the moaning of a doctor friend driven insane by addicted smokers doing themselves enormous harm, and repeatedly turning up to have assorted bits of body parts sliced off). After all, the pond understands it's possible to stop snorting white powder ...

As for that notion of fairness being one of those sublimely undefinable concepts favoured by those who wish to obfuscate, naturally the pond couldn't resist doing a quick google of Akker Dakker's scribblings ... and sure enough, being a great obfuscator, deeply up himself, the loon loves the unashamedly undefinable concept, as in this complaint about the ABC...

... which doesn't mean that Akker Dakker has the first clue about equity and fairness.

But to be fair, he does know how to moan and whine and rail and rant ...

Buried somewhere in that rant was a Sky clip - yes, the reptiles have now long done the same sort of forced advertising that was a Fairfax "initiative" ...

As a result, the fat owl of the remove is now just a bunch of words, an assembly of gibberish, which is mainly there to allow a piece of forced advertising to pop up, ostensibly because readers want more shitty online advertising ...

But after the ad comes the nameless horror that Akker Dakker dared not speak the name of ... the poll that suggests the budget was just a blip on the road ...

Talk about a classic poll result - various initiatives win some support, yet the vote stayed 53/47 in the negative, and a majority thought they'd be worse off ...

In short, a triumph for the cons of the Akker Dakker kind ... they must really want Comrade Bill to take control, perhaps on the revolutionary theory that things will get so bad, the people will rise up en masse and demand the return of the onion muncher ...

Sure, and nannies can fly ...

And now for a bit of house-keeping of a Trumpian kind.

Yes, the pond is aware of the meme doing the rounds like wildfire ...

Please, no more Facebook postings ...

And yes, the pond is now facing a glut of Trump cartoons, a backlog it can't possibly hope to clear ... with poor old TT driven quite mad by nightmare visions (with more Pett here and more TT here).

It's all got too much for the pond, and too much for others too ...
