Maybe it’d be safer to wear flowing robes & head scarves, change your religion etc. Then at least nobody’s going to arrest you when you start “ grooming “ & raping school kids!
AS far as I can see by going to the sources of this story, 2 people who harassed the 2 police women (surely entrapment) were spoken to. No one was arrested, let alone 18..
It followed a series of complaints in the area of women being followed shouted at and catcalled who said they felt unsafe, with many saying they were concerned but never reported it..
Investigating British State Censorship the US House Judiciary Committee has found that the British State imposes Censorship using the Office For Censorship Obedience & Manipulation (OFCOM) empowered by the 1990 Broadcasting Act, the 1996 Broadcasting Act, the 2003 Communications Act, the 2006 Wireless Telegraphy Act, the 2010 Digital Economy Act, the 2011 Postal Services Act and the 2023 Online Safety Act.
For Censorship, the British State also uses five types of Secret Court, the Marxist Idiots section 5 (MI5), the British Government Communications Headquarters (GCHQ), the National Security and Online Information Team (NSOIT), the National Internet Intelligence Investigations Team (NIIIT) and the Defence and Security Media Advisory Committee (DSMA) to issue hundreds of DSMA-Notices and Super-Injunctions and thousands of non-disclosure agreements (NDAs) to censor and silence critics, court witnesses, victims of rape and the vaccine injured, as well as other ‘crimes against the people’. The BBC lead Trusted News Initiative (TNI) is also used to assist the enforcement of Global Media Censorship in compliance with the British State.
They also found that on average, a new British Censorship ‘Institution or Act of Parliament’ is set up every two years, the latest being the 2023 Online Safety Act, followed by the British ‘State Police’ operated, National Internet Intelligence Investigations Team (NIIIT), this year.
I am in Thailand and ivermectin is ridiculously expensive. It costs 1350 Baht $64.33 for 12 x 6mg pills (no prescription).
That’s the same as 3 x 24mg in Australia which would be $18 total at my compounding pharmacy (with prescription). (24mg being the therapeutic dose for covid and other conditions.)
I should have bought it in Nepal but I thought there’d be fewer quality issues in Thailand.
You cannot do that anywhere, even if Western propaganda is so strong most of us believe the companies making pills do it honestly. The first thing any manufacturer does after launching a successful product is work hard to make it cheaper, no doubt followed closely by researching how to dodge official quality tests!
DM, I bought mine from India and it was mailed over w/o trouble, same with vit D from Poland.
Further down Another Ian has an article abut turbo cancers, and the Wellness company advertise Ivm plus Mebendazole at $600US for 90tablets. So about $6.70US a tablet, 25mg plus 250mg. Certainly very expensive for two cheap and common anti-parasiticals.
Asking in Thailand I have never found a pharmacy/chemist that had a source for IVM. OTOH in India, most pill shops did, although the street retail price (3000INR / 100 12 mg tablets) was a lot more than I expected.
I am a sheep farmer and I also have horses. Sheep farmers do a LOT of drenching sheep. If the drench doesn’t work we end up with a lot of dead sheep, within a couple of weeks if it is barbers pole worm. So we see how well products work and we don’t buy it if it does not work or makes our sheep sick. I often buy stuff online at Specialist Sales. You can look them up. Ausmectin has a sheep product. Equimec a horse one that tastes ok.
In Australia a man is sacked/fired for referring to a male colleague as a “he” rather than a “they/them”, even though he apologised. The “man” referred to claims to be “non-binary”.

I posted this in last night’s unthreaded but is relevant here.
The reason I did this search was because I was pessimistic about any NY court giving any conservative a fair hearing. To the contrary ‘Tish may have a hard task ahead of her overturning this judgement.
Arguing this with crazy leftists tonight I did some searching and found that the New York Court of Appeals has a bloc of judges appointed by Andrew Cuomo who was a Clinton style dem, not a crazy leftist, who give the court a conservative flavour, or maybe that just means not CRAZY left. Anyway ‘Tish James may find it hard to get the result she wants.
New York Court of Appeals Fairness
The New York Court of Appeals has faced increasing scrutiny over its political fairness, with recent analyses suggesting a shift toward a more ideologically polarized bench. Historically, the court was not strongly divided along ideological lines, but observers note that it has developed a consistent conservative majority bloc in recent years.
This bloc, consisting of Chief Judge Janet DiFiore and Judges Michael Garcia, Anthony Cannataro, and Madeline Singas—all appointed by former Governor Andrew Cuomo—has ruled in lockstep in the majority of cases, often with minimal explanation.
Legal experts have compared this cohesion to the U.S. Supreme Court’s conservative supermajority, noting that the New York bloc is even more unified in its voting patterns.
This shift has led to rulings that favor law enforcement, businesses, and prosecutors, while limiting the rights of criminal defendants and workers, marking a departure from the court’s earlier reputation for expansive interpretations of individual rights under the state constitution.
“Angry Michael Mann Isolates Himself (climate exaggeration backfires)”

Michael “Climategate” Mann cannot get out of his own way. His arrogant, condescending social tweets speak for themselves–just as the words, sentences, and paragraphs of the East Anglia emails did. He is not the kind of person you would want in just about any endeavor, much less as a climate scientist trying to present a case.

Actually, if you look at other studies analyzing the same data, ice at both poles is expanding, at least for now. ”
All politicians who support “renewables” should be required to run their own homes on 100% renewables at their own expense.
This should be genuinely running them on ruinables, not using a dishonest accounting trick like they do for Canberra. I.e. no grid connection to take advantage of the reliability of coal, gas or real hydro at times when there’s no wind or solar.
It might make them change their minds about the whole scam.
With industry pulling out the demand is being reduced to commercial and domestic uses. These have roofs and can quite readily take advantage of subsidised solar and batteries.
The more roofs with solar panels, the smaller the wholesale market and the faster the whole scam implodes – help bring it on. Install solar panels and batteries.
While it’s hard to justify, perhaps it could make matters better if roof top solar and batteries were the only “renewables” allowed. In this case there would be no wind or solar plants in the regions, thus eliminating spaghetti transmission lines.
GO WOKE, GO BROKE: Cracker Barrel CEO Julie Felss Masino’s decision to ‘decolonize’ the company starting by removing the old-fashioned country gentleman meant to evoke nostalgia and Americana from the logo is hammering the stock wiping out $250 million in value. Since Felss became CEO the stock is down 34% erasing $587 million in value.

The left set out to destroy Cracker Barrel, and one way or another, it succeeded. Cracker Barrel may soon find itself erased from people’s list of places to eat, and even if it still manages to stay in business, the Cracker Barrel you once knew is gone.

Australians can’t compete and we are dealing with real estate agents who often put their signage up in a foreign language and push Australians to the bottom of their callback list.

“::Are we now past the worst of the culture wars over climate in Australia, or is that being too optimistic?::
If [Climate Change Minister] Chris Bowen could bed down the energy transition and honour the targets he set for himself by the next election, probably 70 per cent of the electricity grid in Australia would be from clean energy. At that point, there’s not much left to argue about: it’s game over. I do think the last election was the last climate election, if for no other reason than that.”
“…the cost curve for wind and solar really set in. You can see the year-on-year drop continuing. At that point, nuclear looks massively expensive and inefficient. ”
…and lots about sex, because after all its a newspaper and it has to sell!
“I do think the last election was the last climate election, if for no other reason than that.”
I don’t, China has 1200 coal fired power plants and we can’t build one. Vulgar virtue signalling, the green left don’t care about the grandchildren. How long are they going to subsidise our power bills?
But before the next election we have to present our argument as to why the world is warming. If not CO2 then what?
Wood releases about 4kWh/kg. So 1tonne is 4,000kWh. With a good burner you get around 3,000kWh of useful heat. With peak charge of 40c/kWh for evening operation, you would pay around $1200 for electricity using a bar heater.
Current gas price in Victoria is around 11c/kWh so gas equivalent of 1 tonne of wood is $440.
I have already collected wood for next year from a friend who is selling his property and had a few fallen trees that had been cut up and just left in his wooded area.
Gumtree has notifications for FREE wood – all u have to do is front up and collect.
Perhaps leave a token bottle of moonshine as good will and you will be called back when the next huge tree goes down.
The reason I know this is in the circumstances of an interglacial and after the solar intensity begins to rise in the northern hemisphere, the NH goes into glaciation even more severe than what is observed in Antarctica. So mush land to accumulate ice that the sea level will be 120m below the present level before it begins to recover. But none of that will happen in your lifetime. At best you will observe the general warming trend in the NH. Even that could have a rest in a decade or so due to movement of the Sun south of Earth’s orbital plane.
Might be more useful to tell the electorate we are returning to the dream time.
‘New research reveals rapid natural climate change forced the collapse of the region’s annual wet season about 5500 years ago.

“Are You Ready to Give 100% of Your Inheritance to the State?”
“If you think that the Liberals & NDP’ers north of the border and the Democrats south of the border aren’t paying close attention to this “brilliant” idea, then you are beyond naive.”
Comments described Australia as a ‘homeowners welfare state’.
The lesson from Chalmers and Albanese is crystal clear:
if you worked hard, saved responsibly, made sacrifices for your children, took risks to start a business, then you obviously stole that wealth and now it’s time for you – not politicians or billionaires – but you personally to ‘solve inequality’ by handing over your stuff.
Labor doesn’t have blame by pitching this tax raid on their own.
They have been leaning heavily on ‘experts’, economists, university academics, and journalists to nudge them around into ‘consensus’ positions.
It’s not our idea, Labor can say, it’s a recommendation of the industry! We’re just following orders.
But We will persue people who live with the sin of an empty bedroom.

“Washington: The FBI on Friday searched the Maryland home and Washington office of former Trump administration national security adviser John Bolton as part of a criminal investigation into the potential mishandling of classified information, a person familiar with the matter said.”
Fun times! Be careful what you do in power, one day you won’t be!
“Bolton was not home for the search of his home, but after it started, he was spotted Friday morning standing in the lobby of the Washington building where he keeps an office and talking to two people with “FBI” visible on their vests. He left a few minutes later and appeared to have gone upstairs in the building. Agents were seen taking bags into the office building through a back entrance.”
Bolton- “OK, its all cleaned up you can raid now”
FBI- “Right, where do we fill these bags with cash for the tip-off?”
“The red carpet was rolled out for Vladimir Putin over the ice in Alaska, notwithstanding his guilt for starting the war in Ukraine, which has killed half a million people so far. He has refused to end it without obtaining some spoils of victory, like conquered land and mineral rights, guaranteed by the blinking idiot who is the president of the United States. ”
So, a hard-left writer who predictable hates both Trump and Putin. He wants an international kangaroo court set up to try Putin.
“Putin’s lies about the causes of the war. There is a sudden spate of publicity alleging that Putin had every reason to invade because of the neo-Nazi government of Zelensky or because of genocide in Donbas. These allegations are ridiculous and will easily be disposed of.”
Well, I have heard some lawyers are so hopeless you would be worse off employing them..
“But for peace in Ukraine, Putin must be offered something. So let it be no more than his entitlement. He cannot be entitled to keep the spoils from an illegal war. ”
Excuse me, he’s winning and will keep what he has won, there is no-one to take it off him. There are none so blind as those who will not see..

Are you mad? There are 6 areas along the front line where the Russians have been advancing slowly (Kharkiv, Sumy, Kupyansk, Lyman, Toretske, Pokrovsk) and steadily all summer. Defense Politics Asia on Youtube often lists out the areas they have taken each week in square Km….
“More recently, from June 24, 2025 to July 22, 2025 (29 days), Russian forces gained 180 square miles of Ukrainian territory compared to 216 square miles gained by Russia in the preceding period, May 27–June 24, 2025 (also 29 days). ”
As for the Flamingo, Russia sent over a couple of Hazelnut tees and destroyed the factories making components for them yesterday.
There’s no way the Russians want Kiev, far too many Poles there! They occupy 20% of Ukraine now, they would need a good third to move the border along the river to Kiev,that would be the size of Victoria.
More likely is that Zelensky gets the boot and Ukraine surrenders, then the war stops and Russia finally gets a neutral Ukraine instead of a NATO puppet. A bit like the Americans did to the Japanese for 50years, all decisions approved by the Yanks, and no armed forces.
Then the NATO/USA focus shifts down to Armenia/Azerbaijan and they start trouble for Russia down there…

With all the wet weather in Sydney during August builders have been receiving calls for roof leak repairs and one told me he found several leak points accessible but the rest were beneath solar panels fixed onto the roof and could not be accessed without an electrician and removal of the solar panels.
The owner was very upset when a price was estimated to complete the work.
The advice given was to not have solar panels installed before having the roof inspected and repaired or better still completely replaced to ensure that it is waterproof for solar panel operating life.

SMH has!! They asked him really tough questions…
“::Are we now past the worst of the culture wars over climate in Australia, or is that being too optimistic?::
If [Climate Change Minister] Chris Bowen could bed down the energy transition and honour the targets he set for himself by the next election, probably 70 per cent of the electricity grid in Australia would be from clean energy. At that point, there’s not much left to argue about: it’s game over. I do think the last election was the last climate election, if for no other reason than that.”
“…the cost curve for wind and solar really set in. You can see the year-on-year drop continuing. At that point, nuclear looks massively expensive and inefficient. ”
…and lots about sex, because after all its a newspaper and it has to sell!

The Left keep repeating that as though it were true.
But it’s an obvious lie, endlessly repeated, and no “journalist” or “opposition” politician, seems to want to question it.

“I do think the last election was the last climate election, if for no other reason than that.”
I don’t, China has 1200 coal fired power plants and we can’t build one. Vulgar virtue signalling, the green left don’t care about the grandchildren. How long are they going to subsidise our power bills?
But before the next election we have to present our argument as to why the world is warming. If not CO2 then what?

I paid $350 for a small tip truck load of firewood and still have about half left.
Wood burning heater that heats the whole house, being a small country cottage former farmhouse before the land was subdivided.
30
What latitude and elevation?
$350 for a small truck of wood is a Tasmanian price. I am guessing maybe 3 tonne if hardwood – that is very good price.
Residential Melbourne price is around $500/tonne for split hardwood.
https://www.firewood.com.au/collections/firewood
Wood releases about 4kWh/kg. So 1tonne is 4,000kWh. With a good burner you get around 3,000kWh of useful heat. With peak charge of 40c/kWh for evening operation, you would pay around $1200 for electricity using a bar heater.
Current gas price in Victoria is around 11c/kWh so gas equivalent of 1 tonne of wood is $440.
I have already collected wood for next year from a friend who is selling his property and had a few fallen trees that had been cut up and just left in his wooded area.

NSW, Mid North Coast from a supplier that only sells by the small truckload but split of course ready to burn.

Around NSW it’s at about $150 for what is nominally a cubic metre … in practice about half a ute load for a proper size tray.
That’s primarily been yellow box, Queensland bloodwood, ironbark and perhaps some gum and other random stuff.

Gumtree has notifications for FREE wood – all u have to do is front up and collect.
Perhaps leave a token bottle of moonshine as good will and you will be called back when the next huge tree goes down.

The same thing as previous glaciation. Orbital precession.
Answer these simple questions:
1. What is snow made from?
2. Where does snow come from?
3. What causes snowfall to increase?
If you answer those questions correctly then you will have a clue why Greenland is gaining altitude.
https://essd.copernicus.org/articles/17/3047/2025/essd-17-3047-2025-f18-web.png
The reason I know this is in the circumstances of an interglacial and after the solar intensity begins to rise in the northern hemisphere, the NH goes into glaciation even more severe than what is observed in Antarctica. So mush land to accumulate ice that the sea level will be 120m below the present level before it begins to recover. But none of that will happen in your lifetime. At best you will observe the general warming trend in the NH. Even that could have a rest in a decade or so due to movement of the Sun south of Earth’s orbital plane.

Might be more useful to tell the electorate we are returning to the dream time.
‘New research reveals rapid natural climate change forced the collapse of the region’s annual wet season about 5500 years ago. This resulted in an intensely arid period that lasted about 1500 years, before climate conditions adjusted to a level similar to that which we see today.’ (Australian Geographic)

As Spectator Article David Referred to above said
The Chalmers Productivity Roundtable witnessed the start of open season on private assets as part of the intellectual discussion to provide equity.
The Government didn’t just run out of other people’s money, it’s run out of other people’s houses.
Comments described Australia as a ‘homeowners welfare state’.
The lesson from Chalmers and Albanese is crystal clear:
if you worked hard, saved responsibly, made sacrifices for your children, took risks to start a business, then you obviously stole that wealth and now it’s time for you – not politicians or billionaires – but you personally to ‘solve inequality’ by handing over your stuff.
Labor doesn’t have blame by pitching this tax raid on their own.
They have been leaning heavily on ‘experts’, economists, university academics, and journalists to nudge them around into ‘consensus’ positions.
It’s not our idea, Labor can say, it’s a recommendation of the industry! We’re just following orders.
But We will persue people who live with the sin of an empty bedroom.

“Washington: The FBI on Friday searched the Maryland home and Washington office of former Trump administration national security adviser John Bolton as part of a criminal investigation into the potential mishandling of classified information, a person familiar with the matter said.”
Fun times! Be careful what you do in power, one day you won’t be!
“Bolton was not home for the search of his home, but after it started, he was spotted Friday morning standing in the lobby of the Washington building where he keeps an office and talking to two people with “FBI” visible on their vests. He left a few minutes later and appeared to have gone upstairs in the building. Agents were seen taking bags into the office building through a back entrance.”
Bolton- “OK, its all cleaned up you can raid now”
FBI- “Right, where do we fill these bags with cash for the tip-off?”

Here’s a funny guy..
“The red carpet was rolled out for Vladimir Putin over the ice in Alaska, notwithstanding his guilt for starting the war in Ukraine, which has killed half a million people so far. He has refused to end it without obtaining some spoils of victory, like conquered land and mineral rights, guaranteed by the blinking idiot who is the president of the United States. ”
So, a hard-left writer who predictable hates both Trump and Putin. He wants an international kangaroo court set up to try Putin.
“Putin’s lies about the causes of the war. There is a sudden spate of publicity alleging that Putin had every reason to invade because of the neo-Nazi government of Zelensky or because of genocide in Donbas. These allegations are ridiculous and will easily be disposed of.”
Well, I have heard some lawyers are so hopeless you would be worse off employing them..
“But for peace in Ukraine, Putin must be offered something. So let it be no more than his entitlement. He cannot be entitled to keep the spoils from an illegal war. ”
Excuse me, he’s winning and will keep what he has won, there is no-one to take it off him. There are none so blind as those who will not see..
“Geoffrey Robertson KC is a London-based Australian human rights barrister ” …who has absolutely no idea of what the word “war” means!

‘Excuse me, he’s winning and will keep what he has won, there is no-one to take it off him.’
That isn’t true, Putin hasn’t advanced over summer and now Ukraine has come up with a game changer called the Flamingo.
Sometime this year the Kremlin will sue for peace, otherwise a ceasefire with Chinese troops as peacekeepers.

” Putin hasn’t advanced over summer ”
Are you mad? There are 6 areas along the front line where the Russians have been advancing slowly (Kharkiv, Sumy, Kupyansk, Lyman, Toretske, Pokrovsk) and steadily all summer. Defense Politics Asia on Youtube often lists out the areas they have taken each week in square Km….
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a9ilV3etpTI
DPA just reads out what both sides have officially released, and puts it on a map.
…and plenty of people like Guerra Ruso-Ucraniana update their maps weekly. The Russians have captured town after town all summer.
https://www.google.com/maps/d/viewer?mid=1V8NzjQkzMOhpuLhkktbiKgodOQ27X6IV&ll=49.608405377227086%2C37.41462298222483&z=9
“More recently, from June 24, 2025 to July 22, 2025 (29 days), Russian forces gained 180 square miles of Ukrainian territory compared to 216 square miles gained by Russia in the preceding period, May 27–June 24, 2025 (also 29 days). ”
As for the Flamingo, Russia sent over a couple of Hazelnut tees and destroyed the factories making components for them yesterday.

So they’ll be in Kiev by Xmas, thanks for the heads up.

There’s no way the Russians want Kiev, far too many Poles there! They occupy 20% of Ukraine now, they would need a good third to move the border along the river to Kiev,that would be the size of Victoria.
More likely is that Zelensky gets the boot and Ukraine surrenders, then the war stops and Russia finally gets a neutral Ukraine instead of a NATO puppet. A bit like the Americans did to the Japanese for 50years, all decisions approved by the Yanks, and no armed forces.
Then the NATO/USA focus shifts down to Armenia/Azerbaijan and they start trouble for Russia down there…

With all the wet weather in Sydney during August builders have been receiving calls for roof leak repairs and one told me he found several leak points accessible but the rest were beneath solar panels fixed onto the roof and could not be accessed without an electrician and removal of the solar panels.
The owner was very upset when a price was estimated to complete the work.
The advice given was to not have solar panels installed before having the roof inspected and repaired or better still completely replaced to ensure that it is waterproof for solar panel operating life.

Good advice. Roofs should be inspected and repaired if needed every year. Water damage from a leaky roof can require expensive repairs.
