Excellent use of "lairising"

The Finnish 1944 solution was ummm, fight alongside the Nazis and lose, then end up handing over large parts of their country to Russia.

Here's a fact for you all.

Prior to 2017 there was not a single documented case of any individual travelling by small boats across the English Channel to caim asylum in the UK.

Not ONE.

This current 'boats' crisis has been largely caused by Brexit.

But for some reason NOBODY is saying that.

Its weird in that you never hear the poor bastards who had to go fight a horrible guerilla conflict in the "Malaya Emergency" complain they didnt get a tickertape parade across the Sydney harbour Bridge.

Old man was conscripted but didnt have to go (yay Gough).

Uncle on Mum's side was stashed up the bush by WW2 vet nutty Catholic Mafia by grandad ran.

My folks never expressed anything but sympathy for those who did go, and anger at govt abandoning them on return

The "we were hated" shit such lies

There's video of Zelenskyy sniggering and acting the twat while Putin drones on with his legalistic bullshit at the Minsk 2 presser.

Bro they used to sell smack two blocks from Parliament when you were Premier.

Broke up with his wife, hooked up with someone younger from work.

The whole sad scenario.

Strong vibes of that.

Yep, and given his exposed form ... ripping down the COVID posters at Punt Road ... he doesn't get the benefit of the doubt.

Hardwick a Sheedy protoge, and Sheedy instructed his players to racially abuse the Krakouer brothers onfield.

Yes, that's him.

Yeah. It is very clear what can and can't be said.

Christ almighty Hardwick is a nasty right wing piece of shit.

He's been gone nearly two years and still they obsess about him.

The whole intransigent Ukranian position on giving up territory is a key cause of their problems.

The Irish accepted giving up a sixth of their country as the price of peace with their much larger, genocidally aggressive neighbour.

Now its a very rich EU member that could never be reconquered.

I still have several firm friends from that time, which was closer to 25 years ago than not.

Action packed too. There was a murder - committed by a guy staying there but not actually on site.

I briefly worked as the Night Manager at a Dublin hostel.

Magnificent couple of months, had a ball, but they were very right to sack me.

Yeah, fuck that. Could do shared bathrooms etc, just not a dorm.

Hostels

Every Saturday or Sunday my Dad comes over and we spend time with Snizzle and hang out.

We usually go to pub after,talk footy, life and the world. Snizzle gets a bag of chips etc.

This week the old man quoted this from memory, so Snizzle will be off to a flyer.

I dont want my taxes to fund people who still "celebrate" the Odessa Trades Hall massacre.

That doesnt = carrying water for Russia in my book but obviously others may disagree.

Good chat.

2010 election was free and fair. If people didnt like his policies - choosing Russian loans over EU/IMF they should have ousted him with a vote, not street violence.

Violence following Maidan, like the Odessa Trades Hall murders, was awful.

"We" have used less as justification for military action.

The Russian battle plan of 2022 certainly demonstrates that securing Crimea was their primary goal, and they've been successful there.

But again, it took Maidan for Russia to act there.

The map of the last free pre Maidan election and the frontline are eerily similar.

Maidan is the decisive bit.

Safe assumption

Do I really need to read up on this "abundance" shit or can I safely assume it's rebadged third-way centrism?
