    The Morrison government has rejected a post-Brexit trade agreement that included visa-free work and travel between Australia and the United Kingdom.
     
    Well that's my retirement thongs and budgie smugglers getting flung on the barbie once the rain has stopped.

    Trade minister Simon Birmingham said full free movement would not be accepted because it could cause an exodus of highly trained workers to the UK


    I thought Australia stopped being a penal colony in the 1800s.

    President Bonespur has had a wee glimpse at what war with Iran would look like and shat his pants.  American's top general said last year he would need a million troops to invade Iran.  America doesn't quite have a million people in their entired armed forces worldwide Army Navy Air Force everything.  They also modelled what an invasion of Iran would look like and reckon they would lose twenty thousand troops in the first 48 hours.

    Trump I think was played by the hawks into making a stupid and rash decision, and was handed a massive dose of reality causing him to back down immediately.  War with Iran would be a disaster on an almost unimaginable scale, would definitely immediately become a much wider regional conflict and incur costs and losses beyond most peoples's comprehension.  

    Utter nonsense.

    Twitter are going to introduce the following changes
     

    Twitter is the garbage dump of humanity.

    Stopping Blue ticks getting ratio’d is more important than bots and trolls spouting total shite.

    You mean the same Oxford United with an average attendance higher than Kilmarnock's and who play in a league that has more revenue?

    It was tinpot when monied 5th tier Salford signed Adam Rooney from Aberdeen but Kilmarnock to Oxford United is a pretty average move

    I was more thinking that Scotland’s RB being an English 3rd tier player is tin pot. Although you make a good point that maybe it’s better than being a Scottish Premiership player.

    About 1500 Iranians have been murdered over the past couple of months for protesting the government, many suggest the al Quds organization has been heavily  involved in that suppression.

    'Hundreds' killed in Iraq protests where militia linked to the al Quds and PMF forces have been suppressing the dissent.

    Obviously the hand wringing left wankers are nowhere to be seen or heard.

    Up to 500 000 dead from the Bashar al Assad regime supported by the Iranian al Quds and (friends of the British left) Hezbollah.

    Not a fucking squeak from the left.

    The head of al Quds gets taken out by other regional power player and suddenly everyone is shitting themselves and decrying extra judicial murders.

    The vast amount of murder and ethnic cleansing in Syria, the sectarian murder and politics in Iraq, the severe repression of any dissent in Iran, the stirring of sectarian conflict in Lebanon and Yemen? The only time the shite bags on the left give a toss about this is when it gives them an opportunity to attack the US\Israel\UK. There only interest in the welfare of the peoples of the middle east is to use them for domestic political grand standing.

    Extrajudicial murder should be condemned. But that is all extrajudicial murder not the 0.1% where it is politically advantageous to you.

    Soleimani was just another war lord in a region afflicted by them. His death of no greater concern than that of a  grandmothers in Aleppo or a grandchild in Gazza. The fake hand wringing left can f**k off.

     

     

    The left are passive, anti-war and anti-interventionist. Would Bernie Sanders or Corbyn have ordered Soleimani killed? Fuds looking for likes on Twitter aside it’s not just grandstanding.
