Astonishing that the society that produced the Monty Pythons, will now arrest a person if sarcasm or a joke happens to loft over the head of some police or public official or another.
A feat which apparently would not require much altitude.
Even British cats have now been successfully confused.
I’m given to understand that dogs are afraid for their lives.

Here is some commentary about thirteen sci-fi movies from the 1960’s which were censored or banned but which you can now stream for free.

The first movie in the list is “Creation of the Humanoids”.

It’s interesting how desensitised people have become. Movies were banned or censored for reasons that would barely or not rate a mention these days and which would even be considered laughable.
Now society doesn’t censor or ban for shock and horror but “incorrect” political or “scientific” opinions.
Also, back in those days the Left supported free speech, now they fully support censorship. They do whatever is necessary to promote their interests at any given time. Now they do as they please as they have gained massive powrr as they have infested academia, media and tech.

Here is some commentary on the murder of conservative UK political figure and former politician Ann Widdecombe and attempts by UK police/government to downplay its true nature of Leftist political violence involving ideology and/or terrorism and predicting more. Murder is the next level of violence from the Left.

In the following video is described the collapse of the Sourh African electrcal grid due to racist anti-white policies and its recent revival.
There are aspects that might be relevant to the eventual rebuilding of Australia’s electrical grid in terms of re-hiring people who had knowledge of how the old (pre-rebewables) grid worked and fixing it.
