The Daily Blog Open Mic – 22nd August 2024
Announce protest actions, general chit chat or give your opinion on issues we haven’t covered for the day.
The Editor doesn’t moderate this blog, 3 volunteers do, they are very lenient to provide you a free speech space but if it’s just deranged abuse or putting words in bloggers mouths to have a pointless argument, we don’t bother publishing.
All in all, TDB gives punters a very, very, very wide space to comment in but we won’t bother with out right lies or gleeful malice. We leave that to the Herald comment section.
EDITORS NOTE: – By the way, here’s a list of shit that will get your comment dumped. Sexist abuse, homophobic abuse, racist abuse, anti-muslim abuse, transphobic abuse, Chemtrails, 9/11 truthers, Qanon lunacy, climate deniers, anti-fluoride fanatics, anti-vaxxer lunatics, 5G conspiracy theories, the virus is a bioweapon, some weird bullshit about the UN taking over the world and ANYONE that links to fucking infowar.
Horrifying testimony in the ongoing trial of an individual who was unjustly allowed name suppression to preserve the electoral chances of a certain pro-pedophile party.

Is there someone who is responsible and can enforce this control? We will put up with higher prices if Oz is underselling us. If we take the tomatoes and deny that assurances they are properly treated for prevention, this will prove we are both nasty and cheap.
The spread of myrtle rust proceeds apace – we have opened up our borders with so many unpleasant results let us stop this one. Let us make use of our systems that are so wonderful giving latest news and information, fast and modern, which the authorities may then ignore or they turn off and shuffle sideways at OUR peril; they don’t get caned. I say bring back smacking just for naughty politicians and officials.
