Scott Morrison Says He’s Always Supported ‘Right to Disconnect’ Laws

Sad today to learn of the passing of a quintessential Irish poet, full time alcoholic and a dental horror show.

I love the Pogues and their late front man Shane McGowan.

In truth, Shane was a walking train wreck for many years, but he was a wonderful songwriter, musician and classic Irish singer who drove traditional Irish songs into the mainstream. In recent years Shane had his truly frightening teeth renovated, but there wasn’t much medical science could do to help a man for whom a pint of gin on stage was a regular event.

He’ll long be missed.

Well, Stephen since you asked and didn’t allow comments, I can tell you in three words. Massively unreasonable violence.

Both Hamas and Israel must stand condemned for their brutality.

But Israel’s disgraceful government turned an understandable retaliation into an unconscionable violation of human rights. And they are showing no signs of letting up.

And as for people demonstrating against Israel not also demonstrating against other rogue states, have you not heart of Myanmar or China ? Or British Tories.

You’ve got to get out more, Stephen – just because Israel makes cool software is no justification for human rights violations.

Get a sense of proportion !
