can you actually "play" a didgeridoo? 50,000 years and none of them figured out to put a few holes in the top to create different notes? It should not be classed as a musical instrument, its a hollow stick and nothing else.

It is a wonderfully unique instrument with a unique sound. True they could have put holes in it and had it ending up with the same old sound as everything else in that family.

its a hollow stick and nothing else

Bet you cat get a gig at the opera house or amongst the worlds best musicians playing your hollow stick.

Two things:

1. What is wrong with attcking someone's policies, after they have died? There is a big difference between celebrating someone's death and criticising their performance as PM.

2. Why did the lefties on here complaining not say anything when there were actually lefties celebrating the death of Margaret Thatcher? Actually cdlebrating her dying, not criticising her policies.

Where is the rule that anyone must speak out ? Cheesy

Come again?

you were asking why the left didn't speak out when some cheered Thatchers death ... I asked you where is the rule that we must speak out?

There is no rule. It just strikes me a tad puzzlimg why you don't like people criticising Whitlam's performance as PM, but not people celbrating Thatcher dying.

because it's not my job to criticise things you object to ... do your own dirty work you lazy sod.

That wasn't the point at all. You're either dumb or deliberately trying to be.

you have no idea what point you are making do you?.

To the contrary, my point is very clear. The left is complaining that anyone dare criticise their beloved Gough's performance as PM, but said nothing when others celebrated the death of Thatcher, which was far worse.

Yep, many people did in effect "dance on Margaret Thatcher's grave".

Since reasonable minded people (which most likely excludes the vast majority of people one eyed in their politics obviously) recognise this as trite, disrespectful and base behaviour, I can't for the life of me figure out why the "other team" committing such behaviour works as justification for the boot going into Gough....

If it is abhorrent behaviour, then by doing so, you are being abhorrent.... Why is that so hard to figure out - oh wait, blinded by ideological zeal and hatred, that'd do it...

I am sure that many felt well justified in their nastiness about Mrs Thatcher (whose political legacy I have no regard for) at the time of her death. Clearly, many in this thread have uttered the same ideas to "justify" their actions. Base and bloody minded moronic behaviour is all it ever is, regardless of the team you vote for.

Oh, and since Mrs Thatcher's death and fall out is part of the debate now, something the Gough knockers may need to come to terms with, here are a couple of quotes from back then. I have picked them because, for the present at least they have no mirror from team Right....

"And many Labour politicians posted messages of condolence while registering their opposition to her political values.

Shadow International Development Secretary Ivan Lewis urged all Labour supporters to respond to her death with “dignity and respect”. "

Sure, people still vented their spleens for a time, however, there were a couple of voices of reason....

Where are they in this thread?

I kind of see it this way, if you didn't get everything nasty said that you wanted to whilst they were alive, then you wasted your time. Have some respect for the family of the dead.

But the situations are not analogous. Where did you see anyone celebrating Whitlam's death?

Stop trying to substantiate the rights abhorrent behaviour over Gough, Matty, we expect it from you.

I will ask yet again, what is wrong with criticising someone's performance as PM?

Nothing Matty, over half the country are criticising phoneys. Did you see he has lost thirteen news polls in a row Marcia?

That's right, avoid the question.

Apart from the point where he said nothing is wrong with it. Answer given, please move on, nothing to see here.

It is a shame that Latham didn't become PM he was forced into going one election too early - in ability he would have eaten Rudd for breakfast and may have been the only genuine reformer we had had since Whitlam.

He had some vision for change.

In a case where someone just died it would be handy to at least know what you are talking about when doing it.

Otherwise you end up just looking nasty and small like big mouth Andy B.

What do you mean if?

And who did she hurt? What about all the small businesses that closed because of Whitlam, because they couldn't afford to pay all the tax they had to pay for people to not have to pay for their own education?

And here's one for you - why did Whitlam get the sack from the GG, and subsequently get thrashed in the election, whereas thatcher won three election?

Because in this case the thread isnt about the message, its about the messenger. Bolt wouldnt know rational journalism if it blew him.
