A hugely underrated contribution to the Irish literary canon. The nondescript empty landscape Peppa and her family is an oblique reference to nothing less than the works of Brian Ó Nualláin/Flann O'Brien, an absurdist comment on the post-independence lethargy of the so-called Free State. #booksky

Goodness! The @thesaturdaypaper.com.au's description of Barnaby Joyce is quite something.

Imagine, after Susan gets rolled by Angus who then screws the pooch, they go for Tim as leader and he loses his seat on Election night? Would that actually be more satisfying that Spud going down in flames?

And in a few years you will never hear about him again.

“We didn’t communicate effectively…” They say this Every. Single. Time. Actually, no, you communicated very effectively- which is why most of the electorate ran screaming in the opposite direction.

Sounds like “Don’t fight back, it’ll only make him angry” which is terrible advice.

The Battle of the Band-Aids.

1 in 3 people don’t vote for either of them, so why are these ‘debates’ between two leaders who both defend a status quo of unlimited rent rises, big corporations paying no tax & opening new coal and gas mines?

Careful, David, or you’ll get a visit from the CIA.

We can’t house or feed our own but let’s burn $300b in a military alliance being the gimp to a nation that has elected for a second time a buffoon who sells military secrets for personal gain. WTF is Labor thinking?

I’d say it’s more likely the journos are parroting what their corporate masters tell them is true.
