It is eerily troubling, and also frightening to me, to watch this clip of Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese, on almost the very same day as Sir Keir Starmer, our new lefty woke Prime Minister, said virtually the exact same thing in his address, following the breakout of multiple riots in different cities across the country, calling all of those involved without distinction “far right thugs“.
Yes, there were certainly thugs and looters present, and many of them would have been from far right groups - and should be condemned.
But many, if not the bulk of them, looked to me like ordinary Britons who simply have had enough. They just cannot stand a new government that after a fortnight is clearly not going to listen to them any better than the useless Tories have over the last 14 years.
Imagine 14 whole years of incompetence, inaction, virtually all promises unfulfilled, and yet being gaslighted and lied to on a daily basis about how good things are and how well and hard they have been working for us.
Labour was elected by only 20 per cent of the people, even though they choose to call it a “landslide“, because everybody just wanted the Tories gone and dead as quickly as possible, dead forever it is hoped, never to return, which is lamentable after a very distinguished history. But, they have simply been ruined by their leaders in recent years, more than ever.
Perhaps it’s even worse in Oz, however, because Albo’s address was even followed by an extraordinary invitation to report people who you feel might be involved in extreme views to the security services.
There is no doubt that this is landing directly on the beach of 1984, not watching it from a ship at sea. For just a split second, I imagined the video was a parody until I chillingly realised that it was completely real and these characters are deadly serious.
It’s amazing how this wave of suppression of free speech, and anger wholly justified, is being stifled by, shall we say, elite globalists behind the scenes around the world. It is nothing other than an old commie tactic, where you label anyone who disagrees with you as extremist and to be put back in their box. But it sure does still work, and it frightens people something awful.
My government’s first priority is the safety and security of Australians.

LATEST OPINION:
Fortunately, today we have social media and we have some news and television and radio outlets, such as GB News and others, that will continue to speak the truth and show things for what they are, even against the will of this new wave of political leaders who want to herd us into what they see as proper, obedient behaviour.
There is no doubt that rioting is wrong when you can write instead. And it gets a much larger and more focused audience. We have videos today too that can go viral. Anyone can have a louder voice than the most prominent political leader if they know what they are doing on socials.
So, there is no reason to go out in the street and break or burn things or attack the police who have a hard enough job, torn between what’s right and their woke bosses. Or, to stupidly go and get yourself arrested. Because, I will tell you, that is precisely and exactly what they want you to do. Then they can say: “See, I warned you. I told you so. That’s what these animals are like.” It’s so old that Stalin’s great great great grandfather probably used it, but it still works perfectly, if you let it.
So, please, be careful. Fighting the good fight is different today. The pen is absolutely mightier than the sword. And the cell phone camera is the most powerful weapon known to man. Don’t play into their hands; that is exactly what they want you to do.
Show that you are better than them and care more about freedom, humanity, free speech and good values – and that you don’t buy their woke, controlling nonsense, because that’s all it’s meant to do, control you.
