artisan Posted June 24, 2010 Author Share Posted June 24, 2010 Are you sure about that, Arty? Is this leading onto an anti-Thatcher rant? Not yet, I have only just got back home after a day spent saving the Universe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zepstox Posted June 24, 2010 Share Posted June 24, 2010 Well they are 20 years behind the UK on fashion, why would they not be 20 years behind the UK when it comes to politics They don't do fashion, it's too warm. Shorts, thongs (flip flops to the phillistines) and AC-DC t-shirts are all you need. John Howard was quite a bloke, far too politically incorrect for this cissy forum though. http://tinyurl.com/323xrw9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Howard never said any of that or anything remotely like it. Not a word of that is true. It's an internet hoax that has been doing the rounds for years, prompting people to say "If only our leader had the balls to say/do that kind of thing". Sorry to explode the myth, but the leaders of western countries simply couldn't get away with saying stuff like that. It's an adaptation of something that appeared on an American forum some years ago and has mysteriously been attributed to the former Aussie leader.

Lady Star Posted June 25, 2010 Share Posted June 25, 2010 http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/asia_pacific/10393918.stm Do people never learn? Aus was doing so well, one of the leading lights. Having a female trying to run the show was the beginning of all the trouble in this country. Women should stay in the kitchen, where they can do less damage. Bless - only a weak man would be threatened by a powerful woman... I think you may suit the role of my bitch! Darning socks might be too much to ask, but I bet you do a mean beans on toast! See you at Pride on Saturday! I'll be on stilts! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the God thing that makes that rant look fake - Aussies aren't big church people, and their country wasn't founded by Christianity... Unless they mean the Irish homes that were set up to imprison young girls of 'dubious morals'... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lady Star Posted June 25, 2010 Share Posted June 25, 2010 Could she be any worse than the UK's recently-departed Prime Minister though? Could anybody, for that matter? But Cameron is going for that post! Shall we see if the Aussie PM can beat him to it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless they mean the Irish homes that were set up to imprison young girls of 'dubious morals'... Exactly. As in Britain, not that many Aussies go to church, something under 20% from memory. So all the God stuff is very wide of the mark and is probably part of the original US version of the rant/hoax. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
