The pond just had to lead with the infallible Pope today, more trustworthy than the lizards of Oz when it comes to pressing political matters, and with scandals surrounding the mutton Dutton growing, and as always with more Pope here …
A special envoy for the lady people!? Or Pete's au pair service? The pond spent hours mopping up the breakfast cereal ...
According to the wicked leftists google logarithms that have infiltrated the pond's computer, there were some sites paying attention to the mutton Dutton's latest round of scandals du jour…
But how did the lizards of Oz respond?
Well by a deafening silence, like a mouse overwhelmed in a church by the din of the congregation speaking in voices … with nary a hint on the front page of the tree-killing edition and the digital edition also maintaing a discreet, heroic silence …it was the cricket mob that was taking the heat …
And the reptiles were similarly quiet on another freedom of speech issue that was bedevilling certain sections of the media …
Dammit, how did the leftist logarithms turn up Fox News?
Thankfully their ABC was also on hand and had no trouble with freedom of speech issues, gleefully reprinting Rodger Shanahan, research fellow at the Lowy Institute didn't give a toss about freedom of speech issues for pardoned people …
Naturally the pond headed off to the Bolter, a vigorous supporter of freedom of speech, especially his freedom to bore the pants off everyone, expecting to see a vociferous denunciation of the government, but came up short.
Just the great news that ScoMo was ditching the bloat warming crusade … with climate science naturally just religious crusaders in disguise, unlike the hugely scientific Bolter …
Strange, the reptiles also managed to overlook Samoa's thoughts on climate science denialism … "utterly stupid", Samoan Prime Minister Tuilaepa Sailele hits out at climate change sceptics during fiery speech …
Perhaps it was because he was standing in front of a Lowy Institute sign, and we know what they think about freedom of speech.
But with all this freedom of speech - and the reptiles' right to remain silent - burbling around in the pond's head, it seemed right to turn to an occasional reptile, who dropped in from Campion college this day to exercise his right to speak in tongues …
The pond knew immediately what this would be about … the freedom to ban freedom of speech, as Ming the merciless once attempted …
Oh it was a right old do back in the day …
Of course the pond always sensed some sort of hidden agenda, given the way that Stalinist Communism withered of its own accord and blindness to a sociopathic ruler, and given a certain tendency in certain people …
Ah the good old days, the freedom to speak of supine appeasement.
So what could a Campion campus man reveal about freedom of speech?
Um, do we have to go back to David van Gend yet again? That bigot really has had his day … how about a current, fresher crisis which by coincidence happens to involve a transgender person?
Yep, that scandal du jour …
The pond is aware that their ABC is happy to celebrate a denial of the right of free speech, so surely Chavura of the Campion would be righteously indignant and seize the moment to take up the cudgels …
Oh wait, the pond forgot. Chavura of the Campion has Ming the Merciless as a hero, and he knew how to deal with people speaking their minds …
Phew, heady freedom of speech stuff, though really Ming must have regretted not being around in time for good old 1080 … but please do go on, it's not as if TG bashing gets enough of an airing these days ...
Ah yes, the deviant left …
And it was done with such impeccable freedom of speech logic too …
Ah yes, freedom of speech is a tricky issue, though it never seemed to trouble the Catholic church when it came to Franco in Spain ...
Ah, the Menzies legacy …
Uh huh, but what about the freedom of speech crisis du jour?
Oh never mind, the pond can recognise the symptoms of rampant stupidity and hypocrisy …
In such cases, the doctor in the pond comes out, and it always recommends taking a Rowe daily, with more Rowe here for regular, reliant treatment. If the course is maintained, it's even possible to break free of the reptiles' determined intention to remain silent …
"Ah the good old days, the freedom to speak of supine appeasement."
ReplyDeleteWell that was more Fadden than Menzies, but still totally apposite, DP. And a lovely exposure of the real 'Pig Iron Bob' too. It really conveys a strong message to note who it is that reveres him. Probably even more so than noting who reveres John Winston (and Winston Leonard, too).
But I am confused; supposedly those terrible Lefties have taken control of all of our tertiary institutions and imposed their marxist ways on everybody connected with them. So how does Chavura get away with spruiking such heresies ? Or is it just possible that he's merely spruiking the usual delcon nonsense and that there's no evil Lefties even minutely interested in a (very short) march through Campion ?
