First, a few updates:<\/p>\n
1) Dick & MUFF<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Following his batshit, public, and VERY ANGRY reaction to the same-sex marriage ballot survey’s majority support, after first doubling-down on his defiance of the (((gay))) agenda and — not coincidentally — following MUFF’s sponsors, and a considerable number of its supporters, declaring MUFF to be FUBAR, Richard Wolstencroft announced his resignation as Director and handballed responsibility for it to his mate and MUFF patron, Frank Howson. Whether or not this means MUFF will continue remains an open question. In any case, Dick did find vocal support from at least one other filmmaker: Ian Nicholson of the Sydney Short Film School. Ian also decried the influence of ‘dumb, lefty cunts’ on Australian culture and society, and compared gay couples to motorbikes. True Story! Resembling Richard in more ways than one, after doubling-down on his original cray-cray and — not coincidentally — after the Australian Cinematographers Society announced that he was no longer welcome to use their facilities to run his skool, Ian made a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.sydneyshortfilmschool.com\/about.htm\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">public apology<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><em>See<\/em> : <a href=\"http:\/\/slackbastard.anarchobase.com\/?p=42049\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Richard Wolstencroft & MUFF ~versus~ Those Degenerate Gays<\/a>, November 18, 2017.<\/p>\n<p>2) <strong>Patriot Blue<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>‘Patriot Blue’ is serial pest Neil Erikson’s latest political vehicle, one into which he’s enrolled his stoopid mate, Ricky\/Rikki Turner. (Other participants in the stoopid have included Paul ‘Guru’ Franzi, Pommy whinger Garry Hume, George Jameson and Penny Tridgell (Party for Freedom, Sydney), Luke Phipps, Lachlan\/Logan Spalding, and a handful of others.) After having made a splash by disrupting council meetings and, most recently, racially abusing Labor MP Sam Dastyari at a pub, on Friday (November 24), Neil and Ricky\/Rikki took it upon themselves to attempt to disrupt a solidarity rally with the men on Manus.

<\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Following his batshit, public, and VERY ANGRY reaction to the same-sex marriage ballot survey’s majority support, after first doubling-down on his defiance of the (((gay))) agenda and — not coincidentally — following MUFF’s sponsors, and a considerable number of its supporters, declaring MUFF to be FUBAR, Richard Wolstencroft announced his resignation as Director and handballed responsibility for it to his mate and MUFF patron, Frank Howson. Whether or not this means MUFF will continue remains an open question. In any case, Dick did find vocal support from at least one other filmmaker: Ian Nicholson of the Sydney Short Film School. Ian also decried the influence of ‘dumb, lefty cunts’ on Australian culture and society, and compared gay couples to motorbikes. True Story! Resembling Richard in more ways than one, after doubling-down on his original cray-cray and — not coincidentally — after the Australian Cinematographers Society announced that he was no longer welcome to use their facilities to run his skool, Ian made a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.sydneyshortfilmschool.com\/about.htm\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">public apology<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><em>See<\/em> : <a href=\"http:\/\/slackbastard.anarchobase.com\/?p=42049\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Richard Wolstencroft & MUFF ~versus~ Those Degenerate Gays<\/a>, November 18, 2017.<\/p>\n<p>2) <strong>Patriot Blue<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>‘Patriot Blue’ is serial pest Neil Erikson’s latest political vehicle, one into which he’s enrolled his stoopid mate, Ricky\/Rikki Turner.
