Re: You Couldn't make it up.
A Just Stop Oil (JSO) due to appear in court on charges relating damage to property charges (spraying a stage and set orange) has asked the Court to delay proceedings because she is flying to India on the dates set for the hearing. She appears to be too dumb to realise the irony of her request; probably thinks planes fly using fresh air. Anyway the Court has told her to get stuffed or words to that effect!

Re: You Couldn't make it up.
Oh the irony of it, flying to India, does she realise what fuels and lubricates the Jet engines.
Court should demand at the risk of arrest that she should attend on the prescribed dates.

Re: You Couldn't make it up.
Then the other day Toyota put out a notice for all here in Oz.
Telling all who were interested about EV.
Thye are not environmentally friendly they said, too much mining needed to build them. no good for Australian conditions.
We drive too far for most and it is too hot.
Air con on most of the time which drains the battery.
But wait, there is more.
In WA they are r building hydrogen bowsers in the servos, and in Tassie BP are r putting in EV chargers
Happy daze John in Oz.

Re: You Couldn't make it up.
Looks like it could be back to the tens of thousands of camels in the Australian outback , for transport , and the profiteers making their fortunes from the selling off will just have to start smoking again and try and use it up in their Zippos. Those that wear the funny clothes will be going back to what once they were so move over George Robey and Jock Mctavish. We’ve got to make a profit as well. JS

Re: You Couldn't make it up.
What a strange world we live in. A female judge has reduced a rapist's jail sentence on appeal, this man has a rap sheet as long as your arm.......the judge's reason for reducing the tariff was that the victim had been knocked unconcious before the rape took place and therefore would have felt no pain or suffered trauma during the rape. Well that's alright then, this judge is not fit to sit on the bench, she has just placed hundreds of women in more danger and the aggressors with a get out of jail free card. I despare.

Re: You Couldn't make it up.
In the news that Russel Brand has been charged in America of raping a women in the toilets, its still ongoing all the charges he faces here. The one consolation if he is found guilty in USA is they don't ponce about with their prison sentences, they quite happily lock em away, much better than the bloody soft sentencing they can expect here.
