Surfing doesn't look like much fun with a mask on...

The political climate of the U.K is more consistent than the U.S: they would never exempt BLM rioters from the gathering rules or allow thousands of unvaccinated, untested illegals into their country. They seemed to be heading towards considering Covid endemic unlike the U.S. who is still playing politics in what spreads Covid and what doesn’t.

"Police State" is a little redundant. All States are "Police States". We're all just trying to avoid the speed traps or worse.

Do the police come to your house and make sure you arent planning a demonstration?

Thanks to some brilliant tourism branding and Crocodile Dundee, we think of it as rough-n-ready frontier country, Montana with bigger beer cans. The dingo ate my baby!

In reality it’s Canada with a mean streak. The Karens are in charge and they are mad.
Long discussion at the bottom

Well I am from Sydney and by the way things are and I much more likely to be able to be allowed to travel overseas than Perth, as the Western Australian government has no plans to allow anyone into their state, even fully vaccinated people, (they have zero covid cases since mid last year) until places like Sydney have at least have double 90% vaccination rates. He claims that 95% of the people of Western Australia support it. The government were I live intend to fully open up after the double vaccination rates hit 80% and same with Melbourne.

But Western Australia is unique as most of their wealth depends on the highly profitable mineral exports. Unlike the Eastern part of Australia.

Well...look at some of the crazy ATF laws on class 3 firearms right here in the US!!! (ONLY military and law enforcement can have certain weapons??) WTF is that?


The public as a whole has accepted these ATF laws, I dont hear of many people fighting with the ATF, so...we are no different!

No.

They do routinely kill people and pets for no reason though.

That sorta kinda bothers me.

Chilling to the pit of my soul to see this.

A sick twisted gaslighting display as defined.
