Reference :- What has happened to the Sky News anchors ? Suddenly they have nothing to say about the bushfire season .

Reference :-   The Sky News anchors have lost interest in the bushfires  . I thought that meant the fires  are all under control .


Well blow me down if the country isn't ablaze everywhere .  I thought it was all over , since the Sky News anchors haven't mentioned any fires for quite awhile . I guess you don't want to alarm us . Except for alarming us about the alarmists , of course .   But after looking at the ABC news , and seeing folk in Sydney getting about with gas masks,  I really need to be reassured that this has been happening every few weeks since about  12,000 BC .    Those climate change activists are starting to look like they might be on to something .  

 Anyway , could I please put in a request for a few shows that remind us this is nothing new ?  Maybe some quaintly sepia toned archival footage of the annual smoke mask festivals they must have run back in the roaring twenties or something .  And can you run an interview with one of your preferred "experts "  while you are at it .   But keep away from respected scientists , we have had enough of their bleak assessments  lately .

  My son , Ken junior  was amazed to hear that the smoke in Sydney is so bad that breathing the air there is the same as smoking 34 ciggies  per day .  He reckons that means your average anxiety ridden chain smoking commuter must be inhaling the equivalent of about 60 cancer sticks per day now .  I tell him that is a pessimistic way of looking at it .   Maybe they can just smoke the actual air without needing to buy cigarettes . That's a saving of about 300 quid a week , which could go towards reducing the negative equity on their crippling mortgages .

 That's the trouble with Ken junior , the little doom merchant never looks at the upside .
