Wall Of Shame…
Note the obvious gorilla-like depiction of Robert Mugabe - the slopping hands, the menacing look, the hunched shoulders. Absolutely outrageous. 61 years on and imperialist racism is alive and well. Shame on you, FT.(click for full image)

BBC News : Aussie Fans Face Tough Restriction Of 24 Cans Of Beer or 4 Litres Of Wine A Day(!!!) "...Spectators at the Bathurst 1000 - a three-day race meeting staged this week - will be told to stick to just the one "slab" of beer while at the racetrack. Wine-drinkers must also show restraint, facing a four litres per day limit..."(image from BBC news story)
Had heard of a six-pack, a case, but never a slab. And 4 LITRES of wine ? I can't do 4 litres of WATER a day. Maybe a similar limit is required on all Aussies interacting with immigrant students after 9PM - that and a ban on carrying screwdrivers if drunk ought to solve the carving-up-helpless-students problem. Imagine running into that (above center) "restrained" guy at 10PM in a dark alley.
