'Explosive shock' as Britain votes to leave EU, Cameron quits.

LONDON (Reuters) - Britain has voted to leave the European Union, forcing the resignation of Prime Minister David Cameron and dealing the biggest blow to the European project of greater unity since World War Two.

I am pro the Brexit; the darn EU favors the Bankers. The EU is the crap as the USA; at an accelerated pace.

Read carefuly and tell me if is what you hear the same crap as the US media. Is very clear and is not "giving" the rights to bear arms; it tells the Gov to back off.

I'm not anti-guns, not by a long shot. I'm ex-military and love sports shooting of all sorts. However I find it fascinating that what is effectively the main part of the 2nd amendment is completely ignored. I.e. that a well regulated militia has the responsibility to ensure a free state by having the right to bear arms. It really is a shame the framers didn't write it clearer. E.g. "If there's a threat to freedom of Americans then a well regulated militia has the right to bear arms and the people therefore have the right to keep them should they ever be needed to form such a militia".

Oh yes... there is a constant thread and is called Tyranny. Part of the checks and ballances, to keep the gov at bay. However... is not mandatory to own any kind of weapon. So no everybody has one. Our gov is actually militarizing the police force to keep the peace. You should see their arsenals, is very creepy to see what kind of toys they have.

If the gov behaves like it should there is nothing to worry about.

Anyway... most leftist, the Deamoncrats have dibs on the weapon industry. Most of them are located to the northeast where the Deamoncrat are strong. Most weapon facilities are located on the Liberal/Sociaslist states. As much crap they talk about anti-gun this or that, they own the industry.

We let them have sticks if they wish and teach them the correct way to play with them.

'Put your hand on your heart': Sales challenges Shorten on Medicare claim - ABC News (Australian Broadcasting Corporation)
(from a leftist approved news source (tm) )

 

[Calaber]

I think even Shorten knows now that the Medicare scare has been shown for the bullshit that it is and it no longer resonating with voters, but he can't back down and retreat from that position because he knows that will kill any credibility he has. (which wouldn't take much because his credibility wouldn't cover a postage stamp anyway).

Live by the sword, die by the sword Bill.

Exactly.... on the US side, the left wingers (Dem) controls the media and you see how the US is. Takes us as one gigantic experiment on propaganda. For example, we are pros on convincing people to buy crap they do not need.

Fact check: Is wages growth now the lowest since records began? - Fact Check - ABC News (Australian Broadcasting Corporation)

Fact check: Has Australia's internet speed dropped from 30th to 60th in the world under the Coalition? - Fact Check - ABC News (Australian Broadcasting Corporation)

Yep - no doubt wage growth is quite low at around 2% however you need to look at it in context of inflation which is well below the 2% so in real terms it's no big deal. I'd far prefer to have wage growth and inflation at a low yet sustained level rather than running rampant which leads to the boom/bust economy that is terrible for everybody in the long run.

As for internet speeds - meh - just watch a little less Netflix and pron.

Since we are starting to roll out a few 'fact checks' - I thought I may as well add a few....
