As Morrison crabwalks clumsily to Carbon Neutrality by 2050, as a climate change fig leaf before he is humiliated into it by the US, UK and Japan, Murdoch’s thugs (who actually run the country) already warning Morrison they could move against him. #MurdochRoyalCommission pic.twitter.com/Xz23s0hBhC

Memo to @RishiSunak: remove the non dom status of newspaper owners and others who masquerade as patriots and make them pay their fair share in next month’s budget. Also ask Rupert Murdoch, an American citizen, to make a contribution to the NHS for his #COVIDー19 jabs.
