"It's a mystery..."

Scoobydoo's famous line enters the world of philosophy via Roger Scruton... or vice versa.

Two weeks after delivering a budget seeking to push the cost burden onto students, a young Joe Hockey has emerged as the unlikely former leader of student protests against similar reforms.

As usual Annabel is proven wrong by the increased acidity and aggressive dorkiness of the repulsive shocks jocks, the nasty spruikers and the mephitic writers for the merde-och press and other sewer outlets...

A few days ago she wrote something that could have been funny if it was not tragic:

One of the main distraction about democracy is that "we" (not me) tend to equated it with capitalism. Thus when one looks at "western" charts where "democracy" is supposed to exist, one can see it's showing exclusively countries where capitalistic exploitation is king... 

In fact most of the capital system now survive on patent lies, as we've witnessed with the Australian elections. Same in the USA where the illusion of democracy is framed by a duopoly of honest ideals promoted by dishonest politicians in honour of a disgusting dollar.

On a fair autumn day, in Sydney, where the temperatures for the end of May have smashed many records since records have been kept in this fair country, and when the temperature in Moscow will be 29 degrees C today, one can ask the question: what are the Climate Sceptics worried about?

Today's effort by Annabel is to tell the bolshevik students that their mass protest is outdated and old fashioned... 

She ends up with a half-baked advice from her celeb kitchen of cracker pollies...:

Some Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade staff are annoyed Prime Minister Tony Abbott's daughter Louise is working at Australia's embassy in Geneva, which is headed by former Coalition staffer Peter Woolcott.

"I'd just say that it is time for Bill Shorten to become a responsible leader of the opposition and start showing some restraint instead of being all complaint." Joe Hockey said.
