Which client is this?
its also owned by murdoch. they always have that creepy indian anchor with the wierd smile on all the time.
The Australian bit of Sky News is the bit that Rupert Murdoch still owns.
The man is a premier league cunt and always has been.
If you ever see bullshit racist twaddle being peddled as “news”, just do a quick search and you’ll often find it leads back to this prick.
I just feel sorry for his many wives, who will have had to witness what Karl Pilkington once described as “like a tortoise without a shell on”

Don’t they got paid and choose to do it.
I first understood that maybe 15 years ago, when I was in the UK during the supposed mass riots there. My parents read about that in the media (European public service broadcast news) about the anarchic circumstances and were worried about me.
I was in one of the cities hit hardest, according to the media, and my flat was actually right at the location this was about.
All that really happened was a single demonstration that was mostly peaceful without any vandalism. That’s it.
I’m assuming you were talking about the London riots, there were a few days of violence but it was only idiots who were after a free TV and PlayStation, and of course the one unimaginative guy who famously stole some rice and then posted about it on Facebook. But of course no one has any guns so once the police turn up everyone tends to calm down.
Speaking of european news I was in Southeast asia when the Spanish blackout happened and they didn’t report it.
I was in a bar in the middle of the riot watching them run up and down to stay away from the police. They did manage to set fire to Miss Selfridge though!
The planetary ecosystem is undergoing a K-T scale mass extinction. Isn’t that enough for everyone?
No no you see it has to be something we can blame minorities for /s
Some minorities (and especially homeless) set fire to things just to stay warm. They’re the real enemy!
(Don’t look at my private jet or business empire plz!)
My most hopeful take is that now that the global oligarchy is multi-ethnic and multi-racial, this narrative is on its last legs. Alternatively, we can pivot it from regular minorities to billionaire minorities.
Yeah but its not a cool apocalypse with like, zombies… or caused by brown people that we can wage a big war against.
Its caused by the vroomvroom juice we really really love, and thus must be ignored at all costs.
Looks arouns: families making a living, my doctor visit was for free, and a friend is about to take a huge redundancy package thanks to state laws that mandate his company to compensate.
We are so fallen.
I’m not working today, yet I’m still being paid thanks to employment law ensuring full paid time off.
No, obviously we’d be much better under the American style hyper-capitalist system. Especially now.
I AM PLANNING A VACAY-CAYS. While on a proper mass transit. Vacaycays, I can afford them and I will be paid for days off.
I also cannot decide to which cultural event to go. There is like some open air cinema, with classics screening. Or go for a niche artsy stuff.
I think Europe is in a bad shape.
And nazi russia should rush in and just fucking raze it to the ground.
You pay for your doctor visit with taxes. It wasn’t free.
Europe is a big place, France is in heavy crisis because of their debt. Torre Pacheco in Spain has some immigrant issues (almost 30% of it’s population it’s non-eu immigrants)
You pay for your doctor visit with taxes.
Oh you’re one of them. Real relation that you’re providing everyone there.
Except it’s actually not strictly speaking true, yeah everyone pays some taxes and some of those taxes go to healthcare but it’s not a separate tax, it’s just part of the tax everyone pays. Some of it goes to healthcare, but some of it goes to road maintenance, some the police. It’s all just in a big lump of tax.
It’s not as if your tax rate goes up depending on your health. You pay the same amount of tax regardless of your current medical status so to say you pay for health with tax is a rather disingenuous.
no fucking shit. Everyone knows it was paid for by taxes, but it’s still significantly cheaper than paying for it up front like you would in america.
Just pointing out it’s not free. That’s how you get government official saying public money belongs to no one.
Edit. I never did the math on which costs me more money but it’s around 2k for public healthcare in Spain per person, but my employer pays for my private healthcare (if I add another person is about 40€, including dental which public healthcare doesn’t cover everything), but also if I have to get surgery they would send me to the public one…
No it was free, see my previous comment.
Wild thing about this line of argument is that it almost solely comes out of american mouths, you know the place that pays more per capita then anyother nation on health care.
No shit! Happy to pay taxes to keep healthcare public.
Me too, but I don’t consider what I pay for “free” and I pay respect and value a lot what costs me money too.
In fact I wouldn’t mind paying more taxes for even better services.
It’s good to be considerate with money indeed. Better services are there though, but private in most cases, at least there is the alternative.
Plenty of people, like students and old people, who didn’t pay taxes because they don’t have income. Who still get the same service.
To them it is free.
Also, even if your statistic isn’t made up (which I doubt), why should it matter that 30% are non-eu immigrants? Are they not allowed to live there or something?
Students sure, but everyone that is an adult pays for that. Elder people already paid for that their whole live.
why should it matter that 30% are non-eu immigrants? Are they not allowed to live there or something?
Of course they are allowed, as long as they are legal but they are also being allowed being illegal. And the point of that reply was to point you can’t expect 30% population increase and no crime increase so the population that was living there is experiencing more crime than before.
some immigrant issues (almost 30% of it’s population it’s non-eu immigrants)
Do elaborate.
Total population: 41.684 National Population: 28.780 EU population: 977 Non-eu population: 11.92739% crime increase in 2022, 4,1% increase in 2025. 10,7% increase in robberies, more sexual related crimes.
The population has grown over 60% since the start of this century. Most of that immigrant population is from Maghreb. Some are illegal but the exact number is unknown. The current protests began when 4 illegal immigrants beat an elder man.
You to know that correlation does not equal causation, right?
“Europe is about to fall, the end is near”
Sorry, I can’t stand it not hitting the thing.
You’re a saint
I’ve never seen this before holy shit that’s awesome
I’m embarrassed at how many times i watched that thinking it wasn’t a looping clip.
Old Rupert making shit up? SAY IT ISN’T SO!
To add a little bit of context, what happened in Spain was actually the opposite: gangs of fascists terrorising immigrant communities.
Sky news in Australia is far worse than Fox in the US. It’s little more than a shout box for small minded racists.
I’m in Spain, and can confirm, It’s pandemonium and anarchy here. For example, one of my neighbors has spent more than an hour making drilling noises, and someone hasn’t picked up their dog’s shit. We are a few hours away from total collapse!
Also the very government drives through the street with a huge truck at 3am. Extends a robot arm to pick up the glass bin and empties it loudly. It’s a warzone out here.
It’s just too loud but also necessary. Chaos!
Yes I just wish that they did it at a slightly different time 😅
“Anarchy!” screams the caption of a photo of a group of police apprehending a couple of people.
Australian media has fallen.
I live in California.
Do you know how many fearful conservatives have told me the place I live in has collapsed into a wasteland of violent criminal chaos? I can only go outside to check and make sure they’re wrong so many times before I just have to assume they’re fucking idiots.
Reminder that Australia produced the shitstain gutter scum that we call Rupert Murdoch.
Australia also runs concentration camps for refugees on remote islands with practically no legal oversight. The Aborigines were considered part of the local “fauna” until the 1960s.
Australia gets way to less flak for how deeply deeply racist that country is.
I feel obligated to provide some context here.
Australia certainly is, like most countries, “deeply racist” but exactly what that means and how we compare to other countries is contentious.
Calling immigration detention facilities “concentration camps” is disingenuous and has connotations that dont apply. At last count in 2021 there were 107 residents, all of whom could leave at any time, and were provided multiple resettlement options outside of Australia.
There are criticisms to be made but they are not “concentration camps”.
The fauna thing is an obvious myth that doesn’t withstand a moments critical though. There’s a more comprehensive rebuttal here:
https://www.abc.net.au/news/2018-03-20/fact-check-flora-and-fauna-1967-referendum/9550650
Australia does have deeply embedded tensions around race. They’re not easily solvable problems. Are more salient example might be the recent rejection of the voice referendum, but that would take more than a few moments to read and understand.
Calling immigration detention facilities “concentration camps” is disingenuous
Someone hasn’t heard of Nauru and the Pacific Solution…
The sentence you quoted links the Wikipedia article about the pacific solution, and the paragraph explains why calling them concentration camps is disingenuous. Well done.
The reality is not better, but the “fauna” thing is a common myth
up until the 1930s Australia had ships that would kidnap indigenous people to enslave them for plantations in a practice called blackbirding
Australia itself was a concentration camp for prisoners just saying ;)
Hey, Kevin said sorry so it’s all good now.
Then we had the voice referendum and all the racists came out of the wood work for that one
I’m aboriginal and I voted no.
The way to solve racism isn’t to create more destinctions between us. I already have a voice in parliment. I voted for them and they were elected.
I’m aboriginal and I voted yes, almost all aboriginals in the Northern Territory wanted the voice to go through.
People out in the communities don’t get any meaningful representation in Australia.
Bro I’ve spent some time in South Texas and conservatives don’t know there has been a border wall since mid 00s.
Everywhere in Cali must look like the beginning of Predator 2. Frankly it’s amazing that any infants survive to gang member age.
portland here. same issue. i have people who visit that refuse to leave my house because they are terrified of the city. many aren’t even conservative and are liberal. propaganda has done it’s work well. it’s hilarious and sad.
So… not sure if that’s where the picture comes from, but what seems to be happening in Europe right now is roaming gangs of nazis causing violence.
I’m impressed by the dilligence seeding the lie, just in case the news pierces the veil.
Europe = One town in Spain.
There are plenty of right wing extremist groups all across Europe. I’d not call them ‘roaming’ but they’re here, and they’re visible.
It’ll only get worse.
I’ll take care of it.
