How Quickly We Forget

The fact that two children have now come to school dressed as Adolf Hitler – and won ‘best costume’ prizes – has gone under far too many peoples’ radars. Worse still, many people who are aware of what happened seem to have blithely disregarded the significance of the events. TMR refuses to do the same.

TMR Celebrates its First Birthday

The kind people at WordPress have informed me that TMR is now one year old.

I would like to sincerely thank the tens of thousands of readers who have stopped by in this time. Your readership and support have been greatly appreciated and are what keep this blog going.

A very special thanks also goes to my lovely partner – who has patiently listened to all of my opinions over the years, encouraged me to set up TMR and even coined its name for good measure. Without her, TMR would not exist.

A big thank you also goes to reader Peter Part – my number one debating partner, who always challenges me and makes me think. I am not exaggerating when I say that this is one of the finest gifts that can be given to another person.

Lastly, I would like to thank those on TMR’s wall of fame for:

  • generously sharing some of their hard earned goodwill with me;
  • letting me shamelessly spruik TMR’s content on their sites from time to time; and
  • being good sports and not asking that I take their photos down.

I will not forget what each of you has done for me and will be sure to pass it on.

Yes, the EU Really Wants to Raise an Army

If you’re one of those people, here’s Sky News confirming the reality – albeit as an afterthought at the end of a Brexit article:

The Price is Left – Idiot Economics at its Finest

One has to wonder if there are any competent economic journalists left in the media.

This whiffy offering was served up in yesterday’s West Australian by its economics editor, Shane Wright:

The Left’s Gay Marriage Plebiscite Bull

The left has been reduced to two arguments against the government’s proposed gay marriage plebiscite: hate speech and cost. TMR deals with both.

Barnett Removes Another Knife From His Back

John Poynton has decided to ramp up his interference in Western Australian politics. This time, he has played a significant role in commissioning a private electoral poll in order to put pressure on Colin Barnett’s leadership.

As always, significant facts have been withheld from the public.

Turnbull’s Thought Bubbles

Malcolm Turnbull now has quite a number of thought bubbles that are going – or have gone – nowhere. A running list is clearly needed:

Will Hillary Make it?

At first glance, the above image appears to be little more than the usual ‘out of context’ shot designed to make to Hillary Clinton look mentally challenged. Goodness knows you can take your pick when it comes to Donald Trump. However, in the case of Clinton, it appears that there is a lot more to it.
