The UK in a nutshell Derm.
FAO Of Dermo (General Aus is wank thread)

Hursty Lol! This is fucking hilarious, 7.5 feet of rain, 3 times the average of London!
That’s fuck all compared to somewhere like Cairns, they get a meter in a day sometimes. It’s about how you deal with it, how much there is is largely irrelevant. What you don’t realise is that unlike the shitty UK with their archaic Victorian drainage systems the diameter of a bog roll, you can stand up in the storm drains here and being costal means it all fucks off into the sea pronto. Even within a few minutes sometimes you would hardly know it had rained. It only goes pearshape where they’ve been fucking with river systems and dams. Most of the floods you see on the TV have been caused by diverting or not diverting river systems and basins. It’s a big political subject here. Plus I live up a hill anyway so don’t really care either way.
Cankles-McJeggings I’d hardly say Ed is a position to cast judgement’s on where people decide to live,
“That roof looks great mate,by the way do want to go on holidays?”

Any theories why Jacinda is resigning mid-term with a historic majority?
Not strictly Aus, but may as well lump the Kiwi’s in with this thread

She divided the country with her strict covid policy , looks after the rich and doesn’t particularly cater for the working and middle class.
Ring any bells?
Aside of that she doesn’t believe she can win and it’s a good time to scarper. She comes across as a Mother Theresa but essentially is a bit of cunt.
Learnt a couple of things about Australian politics a couple of weekends back (the wife’s cousin lives there)… the conservative right wing party are called the Liberals, and they’ve been voted out for the first time in a decade.
Thanks for that, rhouses.

It’s actually a coalition of the liberal and national party. The LNP.
Do you see any big changes happening with the lefties back in power?
Gives India some hope with the BJP running things for two terms, and I’d imagine the Brits with the Tories. Close London-based friend is convinced the Tories are done next round.

Morrison destroyed the lnp all on his own. He didn’t appeal to younger generations same as the Tory filth won’t. He cooked his own goose by lying incessantly and getting caught out furnishing himself (ala Boris ) and has carried on doing so even since he’s left. Don’t think you’ll see the LNP in power here again for a while. Even Murdocks control over the media didn’t save them.
As to big changes the only one I voted for and care about is the anti corruption committee being installed. Something the coalition filth fought tooth and nail to stop. It’s even back dating corruption so you’ll see plenty of the LNP getting hauled over the coals over the next few years.
Far better explanation than mine.

Not that I’m really affected coz I’m in Port Douglas for the long weekend (somewhere they can’t afford to go to). But..I’m with the indigenous on this. Why the fuck would they want to celebrate having their entire culture being shredded by Captain Cook white cunts? They wouldn’t. And I don’t want to either.

Sure, but are you not also a “Captain Cook white cunt”?
Could have another Eastenders moment on our hands!

This is just a hunch, but Dermo might’ve been referring to white Australians.

How about you let Dermo answer the question I asked him, rather than trying to assume what he was referring to on his behalf?!
PS Captain Cook was British.
