Examinator, enlightens us with pomposity, now addressing me indirectly.

He obviously lacks the balls to come in head on, something which no one would ever accuse Margaret Thatcher or the British spirit of.

Examinator perverts what I said, implying a sense “patriotism” is the negative thing,
What his limited intellect missed is, patriotism and national pride whilst the last refuge of a scoundrel, is not the exclusive preserve of scoundrels.

Examinators short-cut conclusion being that of the lazy and limited intellect, devoid of anything to be proud about.

Anyone with a real education knows the difference.

Enough said.

Re Margaret Thatcher was in direct response to Belly “That support for Thatcher has to be a front her own party dumped her.”

comparison to Australian PM’s, if someone is to judge Margaret Thatcher for being “dumped”,
we can consider contemporary Australian Labor leaders.

Of the throng who have been “dumped” only one lasted as party leader, half the time Margaret Thatcher did. The rest, just a squalid collection of wannabes.

Belly “Col highest regards, seems you are an English man?”

I make no secret of it
I make no claim for preference from it
I will never be ashamed of it
It defines where I am from but not who I am.

I define who I am and always will,

And I will deny any socialist leveler the authority to say what I may be, what I may do, where I may live or how much I might earn.

“May explain the complaining but the endless insults?”

If I observe negatively of the lack of performance of the incumbent government it is not “complaining” it is dismay.

As for insults, you know me Belly, I like to give value and so I give back better value in insults than the insults repeatedly levied at me, not that I am complaining it is simply making the most of my posts.

Like I said recently, I come here to slap a few lefties.

I could go to another site where just about everyone agrees with me but where is the fun in that?.

People Against Live Exports & Intensive Farming

I assume the people in your organisation know you're waging a vicious anti-union campaign in their name?

The more I read from you, the less likely I am to again support you on animal rights issues. Your agenda here is very mixed, and I'm afraid animal welfare is increasingly looking like an ever smaller part of it.

That's perfectly okay of course and I do realise this is not an animal rights thread. I just hope you're speaking for everyone in your group, that's all, when you post behind a group name like you do.

For the union-bashers:

<< Membership of Queensland trade unions surges

MEMBERSHIP of Queensland trade unions has surged as workers turn to them for protection in the face of looming job losses and uncertainty.

Two of the state's biggest unions, the Liquor Hospitality and Miscellaneous Union and the Australian Manufacturing Workers Union, have reported big increases in membership in recent months.

"More and more workers are looking to our union as the job market becomes increasingly volatile," AMWU state secretary Andrew Dettmer said.

He said membership had increased by 850 in the past three months.

"We're finding a lot of new members are seeking the protection of their current entitlements and pay, as well as the security of knowing they have access to legal representation should they need it," he said. >>

From the tenor of the anti-worker claptrap being peddled here by rehctub and PALE&IF, it looks like those workers who are joining unions of late are being very prudent.

Col the troll: << I come here to slap a few lefties >>

More like spanking his monkey, I reckon.

CJMoron "Col the troll: << I come here to slap a few lefties >>

well I suppose you would see a bit of that... or more likely... humping someones trouser leg

And just to reinforce and repeat the point on the Bushfire thread which Foxy made

"Of course not all CFA volunteers are arsonists,
and not all patriots are scoundrels.

But the fact remains, some are."

I so agree...

and appreciate your acknowledgement of the slur which Examinator attempted, feebly, to hurl my way when he suggested

"My post albeit with tongue firmly planted in my cheek and laced with mischievous tones was historically factual. At no time did I attack the individual other than to draw an obvious comparison between the zeal of past and present missionaries. "

the conceit of Examinator is clear to see... a side swipe, the coward obviously sensing the risks of a frontal assault, tries to sneak a punch in from the blind side and claim "at not time did I attack the individual poster".

Pompous humbug

I suggest we all watch out for the toilet stall door... Examinator has found his new low, now he limbo dances under them -

and would claim himself to be "innocent" of disturbing the stall occupier, because he did not actually kick open the door.

Thats is a very political manner for a lay-person to view a forum. Interesting.'
What Rehctub and PALE&IF, have suggested is more co -operation between workers and employers.
People like yourself and Morgan just cant seem to understand we are in for serious times. Many little changes would go a long way to keeping doors open.
It just to show how little you understand that to an employer nothing is more important than keeping good staff. Nothing.

That does not mean I agree with having to give three written warnings in writing if I have a staff member stealing from my till.

Nobody should be forced to give a second chance if you find a staff member stealing from you.
No what we stand up for is a fair go for all!
Tell you what however speaking of organisations interesting stuff coming out re animal welfare . I mean Nicky let the cat out of the bag thank goodness. All those votes in the past gone to ALP- First by prference with the Dems and now the Greens. Another rubber stamp.
Maybe this warrants another thread some time.


I dont support any party - just policy and people.

CJ Morgan wrote: "Yes, I've often wondered why Col Rouge loves to sink the boot into the history of his adopted country's Indigenous people."

I suspect anybody not peddling the standard "Noble Savage" myth about the Aboriginals is guilty of "sinking the boot in" according to you.

"Why do we import these twats?"

Why are you such an abusive, foul-mouthed character?

Lastly, I find it odd that it is somehow considered a great surprise that Col Rouge is English. So what? People of English descent, both Australian-born and English-born immigrants, have constituted the largest single ethnic group in this country since European settlement. In truth, the level of Anglophobia emanating from some people on these forums is downright self-defeating when you consider that modern Australia has founded and shaped by mainly English-descended people.
