First Dog, you appear to be turning into Michael Leunig. Please don’t. One is more than enough.
I don’t know, I quite enjoyed it. I hated the man with a deep, resonant, passion and enjoyed mulling over all the reasons to hate him. I wasn’t really concentrating on politics at the time, but it was interesting to note the best thing he ever did in his PMship was very early on, and it was downhill from there (guns that is).
Funny (?) too, to see him say sorry at the reconciliation talk. I’m surprised that speech wasn’t dredged up more often to point out he had already said sorry, so why not do it again?
Get a grip!! FD.
watching those union bastards get slammed was sooooooo good.
so much more work to be done…..next time.
Well it pains me to say this FD………But it bloody well serves you right!
Now I suppose, by claiming to be the incredible shrinking dog,
you’ll be too small to work the off button, when the giant rodent
reappears for next week’s dose of bile.
Just try chewing though the TV cord.
It will be less painful than watching…….I promise.
David M: You’re a complete tosser if you think it’s ok for -anyone- to get set upon by dogs and riot police. Our country should be better than that to its citizens.
