The appointment of the misogynistic Abbott to the British Board of Trade is ruffling a few feathers back in the Old Dart. Politicians from both sides are questioning his suitability, as are many public speaking organisations. Bug Ridden Boris, not wishing for another cock up like he is making with Covid-19, said the appointment has not been finalised.

Its a disgrace that the Mad Monk will be paid by a foreign power to undermine Australia's trade, whilst all the while collecting a very fat Australian taxpayer funded pension. I say put him on a boat, shove 10 quid in his pocket, and send him back from whence he came. Minus the pension of course!

Wow, ladies and gentlemen, Peta Credlin (female, married) worked with Tony Abbott for years, including when he was PM, and she had no problem with him, and on the contrary was full of praise for the gentleman, The Honourable Tony Abbott.
TA also has daughters, including one who is gay, and they think he is just a great bloke.
So, are we now to be taken-in by American 'Fake News', or Brit 'Fake News'!
It seems that almost everyone has an axe to grind these days, and they're not afraid to use it - when it suits their vested and very personal interests.
Shame on how low Politics and News have sunk.
Well, you may say, 'God save Australia', for Nothing will save Authenticity - unless we Demand it, and unless we refuse to be 'taken-in' by the bile and hogwash, and outright Lies.

I disagree wholeheartedly with Abbott's vexatious condemnation of Australia's approach to containing this noxious creeping virus - for I fully support Aus' approach, which has obviously saved many lives, and has kept the economy going after a trying but fairly effective fashion - but, Abbott has a right to his 'opinion' (however misguided), and a right to further damage his already mildly tarnished reputation.

Great Opposition Leader, but not very effective or convincing as PM. A pity about that.
And, 'The Great Trump' leaves Abbott totally in the shade when it comes to hype, BS and self-interest. Abbott, the novice.

Tony's mistake as PM was in not laying his cards on the table when addressing 'climate change' - that he favoured Aus' interests in coal and the economy - and he failed to emphasize Aus' minute, minuscule, negligible, infinitesimal emissions contribution, and failed to take the U.S. and China to task over their enormous, extraordinary, unbelievably massive emissions contribution.

And, was 'the Bull' really any improvement?
Tony, Firefighter, cyclist, dad, Statesman, and friend to Aus. A good bloke.

Dear Paul,

Mr Abbott just may find his niche in the UK -
and decide to stay. Who knows. In any case
I'm sure that Scott Morrison is quite happy
that the man is over there rather than here.

So Paul, who would you prefer, the misogynistic and racist Corbyn who couldn't organise a piss up in a brewery?

I noticed on the news this morning that the Brits are now becoming divided on the Tony Abbott appointment: some seeing hime for what he is and others seeing him for what he is not.

Please keep him because we definitely don't want him back here unless of course Barnaby Joyce pops up to tell us he wants to be the new Tony Abbott in Australia.

Two Tony Abbotts in the world - pretty creepy stuff.

So, where did the 'misogynist' label come from in the first place?
Juliar, perhaps?
The ball-busting, closet asexual minx?
Such a nice lady, and so talkative. (No carbon tax on her wish-list.)
Can academia be 'going to the dogs'?
Seems very likely.
Maybe Rudd and Gillard could put on a double-act Vaudeville block-buster?
Not on my wish-list, sorry.

The Honourable Sir Tony Abbott - has a nice ring to it!
(And, Earl of Warringah perhaps?)
Tony has already lost enough face by losing as PM and losing his 'seat'.
Surely he deserves a reasonable opportunity for a modest 'sea change'?
And, chances are he may make a great mate for Boris - they both 'cycle'.
