@TommyShakes @TommyShake. Go see the nightingale by the great director Jennifer Kent. Most brilliant film and best ever about colonisation of Australia. Violent but don't wheel out ! Colonisation of Australia was violent in the extreme smh.com.au/entertainment/…

@GeorgeMonbiot Same as Toad in the Hole doesn't actually contain any Nigel Farrage....

Those who claim the Nazis were socialists, on the grounds that "Nazi" is a compression of National Socialist, doubtless also believe that shepherd's pie is made of shepherds, and cottage pie is made of cottages.

@GeorgeMonbiot @grumpyboy219 Well said

@grumpyboy219 Let me assist your rapier-sharp sarcasm. A polyglot is someone who speaks many languages. Someone with expertise in many fields (which, of course, I don't claim to possess) is a polymath.

I keep being reminded of the Iraq War. International agencies and experts + much of the general population could see that the UK government's initial response to Covid-19 was dangerous and wrong. Only the govt, its chosen advisers and tame journalists couldn't. #SevenWastedWeeks

@urmil_bhatia Ha ha !

Mt Tambourine ran out of water. The school bore ran dry & the kids were sent home. Water had to be trucked in for the locals. But water to Coca Cola & other bottlers drawn from local bores continue. David Littleproud is a local member - Minister for Water Resources. #auspol

This was the terrible image the NY Times running this morn NOT the fireworks. Thousands Flee to Shore as Australia Fires Turn Skies Blood Red nyti.ms/2SGH8cc

The Mayor of Sydney Clover Moore , @GladysB and @ScottMorrisonMP all think the fireworks will be good international publicity for Sydney ...the reverse will be the case with a celebration of fire whist our nation burns and climate policy ignored..it will present us as fools.

“... of the top 100 companies that paid no tax, 22 were fossil fuel companies, meaning most coal and gas companies are not contributing a cent to the cost of the natural disasters their product is fuelling.”

So, I woke up this morning in NYC and I thought, dang, they’re impeaching Trump today - just a quick train ride away! So I dropped what I was doing and headed to Amtrak and hopped on board! Pulling into DC shortly. Don’t know if I’ll get in, but here’s hoping. Pod recorder w/ me!

I don't mind Scott Morrison going overseas for Xmas. It's him coming back I have a problem with.

A lone @NSWRFS held as long as possible before an explosion of fire pushed them back. Green Wattle Creek Fire @nampix for @smh and @9NewsSyd

Today’s gender pay gap report reveals the true wage discrepancy in Australia. While there has been some progress, men still earn on av. $25.7k more a year than women. It’s time companies take responsibility for how they pay workers👇🏼 @WGEAgency smh.com.au/business/workp… via @smh

12000 Londoners died due to 1952’s “Great Smog’ forcing govt to pass a Clean Air Act banning burning coal for domestic heating.I’ve just driven for 4 hrs from Sydney to the farm through our Great Smog.Learn from history you murderous clowns masquerading as leaders

Dear Australians. I woke up this morning choking on the smell of bushfire smoke in my hotel room. This is your Opera House. UK got off coal in 7 years; Norway is preparing for life after oil. What is your plan? Where is your leadership? Where are your leaders? This is shameful!

What is happening in Bomana is a crime against humanity, it is a symbol of state terrorism google.com/amp/s/amp.theg…
