So like what I imagine John Howard’s view of a garden to be. I’ll bet he has specially made, self-adhesive crowns to put on his Elizabeths.
He’s the sort of man who would wear shorts, socks and sandals. Shiver, shiver,yuk!

Magnificent FD!! 🙂 🙂 🙂

“We will decide what grows in this garden”
Is the quite the best line since Janette told him to “eat your sticks and dirt”.

No one cares what John H thinks any more. Not even us loonie right wingers. It’s sad.

It’s not nearly as fun trying to hate Malcolm Turnbull. You may dislike Malcolm, and his policies, but Malcolm doesn’t have to work. He is obviously in it because he wants to help. Who would actually want to run the Liberabl party in the state that its in, against an opposition like the current Labor party? Hard to hate someone like that …

… and he hankers like the Wicker Man for autumn when the fallow ground is raked up and all the dessicated husks are heaped in a pile burn and torched. Just like Iraq.
