Reference :- Perhaps we should kick off the New Year by defining some terminology .

Reference :-  Wiley weather boy ,  Rowan Dean , complained that the term " white supremacist " is too vague for him to define .   

 Don't fret Rowan , as usual The Sky Reply is here to help . After hours spent researching Latin roots and consulting various dictionaries and our bound copy of " Funk and Wagnall's " , we can confidently offer you a precise definition . 

A white supremacist is somebody who believes the white race is the supreme race .  I leave it to you to decide whether or not this might be considered an embryonic form of racism . 

And Rowan , while we are on the subject , I reckon we should clear up another definition . After all , the books are now out on the kitchen table here at The Sky Reply , so we might as well look up something else .

Your news team does rant quite a lot about an organization called  " Antifa ".    Apparently that is a shortening of the term " Anti -fascist ".   Here in Kooralya we don't much warm to the notion of fascism ,  conjuring as it does images of screeching dictators and jackboots .  So an organization opposing fascism sounds like it might not be all bad . 

Sadly however , it turns out that no such organization exists .  The director of the FBI  , Mr Chris Wray , has stated that Antifa simply does not exist . It is not an organization at all , but a slogan .  When protestors wave " Antifa " banners they are making a statement of belief .   Like folk  who wave banners saying " jobs " or " peace "  or  " ban the bomb ". 

Monte reckons that is a sorry situation , and that they should get their act together like the militant right , and form an organization with Generals and Supreme Wizards  and Grand Poobahs  and weapons training days . 

 I told him we have enough of that crap in the world already . 

Your comrade , Ken .
