When will the left wing control plugs be destroyed in Canada and the UK.

Those two loser countries are not far from Australia and maybe New Zealand as threatening and dangerous to their citizens and not to the ChiComs.

I know and I thought Canadians screamed “how High?” when the government asked them to jump.

Those tyrants need to be confronted, and let’s start with Nancy and Schumer and Biden.

Tyrants need to be made an example of.

Way to much pressure and she was made an offer she couldn't refuse.

I was going to look it up because I thought it was a job title lol. Thanks for saving me the trouble, although if it is an actual title, we're both going to wallow in our ignorance.

Some unidentified middle eastern origin fellow provides a youtube comment without context, and you can’t run fast enough to draw attention to it on FR.
The Premier of NSW hasn’t ‘fallen’ she resigned in the face of allegations that she kept secret her romantic relationship with a politician who has been charged with corruption.
There are no charges against Gladys. She had no choice but to resign, as the witchhunt by ICAC would have made her position untenable.
It’s telling that all the recent victims of ICAC to date have been conservatives.
The INDEPENDENT COMMISSION AGAINST CORRUPTION claims another scalp.
This event has nothing to do with her actions in relation to the virus ‘plandemic’ - absolutely nothing.

The way the system here works is she'll be replaced by an internal vote of the members of Parliament from her party - the Premier is the leader of the party that has the most members in the lower house of the State Parliament. Members of Parliament are directly elected - but they choose their own leader from among the elected Parliamentarians.

Her most likely replacement is Jeremy Perrottet who probably will be an improvement - he's more conservative than she is. But it's on the cards, she could be replaced by another moderate like herself. The election is to be held on Tuesday.

A poor choice in a boyfriend and a grant to a regional shooting club will be added to a bottle of Grange and a job for the boys in the trifecta of trip-ups that has seen the downfall of three Liberal premiers.

https://www.smh.com.au/national/nsw/trifecta-of-icac-trips-ups-leads-to-downfall-of-liberal-premiers-20211001-p58wk6.html

‘Liberal’ in this context refers to State Premiers of the LIBERAL PARTY - of which the opposition is the AUSTRALIAN LABOR PARTY.

https://www.msn.com/en-au/news/australia/berejiklian-s-full-resignation-statement/ar-AAP1lIQ?ocid=msedgntp

Gladys Berejiklian has announced her shock resignation as premier and from the NSW parliament.

Here is the statement in full. (EXCERPT)

I have had to make an extremely difficult decision overnight, but one which I feel obliged to do because of the love and respect that I have for the people of New South Wales and the high regard which I have for the office of Premier.

I was advised late yesterday afternoon the Independent Commission Against Corruption would today release a public statement in which it will state it is investigating allegations made about me concerning matters relating to the former member for Wagga Wagga.

As it will be clear from the ICAC statement, the issues which it is investigating are historic matters that have already been the subject of numerous attacks on me by political opponents during the last 12 months.

” I have been given no option...”

Who is giving out the options. The Chinese? The Federal Government?

Good to see her go, but who will replace her, will there be an election?
