‘George Floyd Should’ve Followed The Law!’ Argues Melbourne Man Who Refuses To Wear A Face Mask

A Melbourne conspiracy theorist has been exposed as a complete and utter battler after sharing his contradictory views on mandatory face masks. At the height of the Black Lives Matter protests in July, Anthony Secombe tried to argue that George Floyd “pretty much deserved to die.” “Floyd was a career criminal and drug addict,” says Secombe. “It’s not the police’s fault if he refused to be a law abiding citizen.” But Secombe’s views on George Floyd’s death appear to be at odds with his refusal to wear a face mask in the midst of a global pandemic. “There’s no way…

Network Which Banned Ellen For Being ‘Toxic,’ Still Totally OK To Run MAFS

The Nine Network has taken the moral high ground today, pulling The Ellen DeGeneres Show from its on-air line up, amid ‘toxic workplace’ allegations. But the move is being labelled as ‘hypocritical,’ given Nine will continue to air the trashiest and most vile show in the history of television, Married At First Sight. “The sexual misconduct allegations at The Ellen DeGeneres seem completely trivial and innocent when compared to what happens on MAFS,” says media analyst Mark Hirst. “MAFS is riddled with abuse, deception and cheating, and the saddest part is, that is the entire point of the show!” Married…
