Tony Abbott Goes Shirt To Nipple With Topless Vladimir Putin
TONY Abbott, Australia’s prime minister, and former Oxford University boxer, says he will “shirt-front” Vladimir Putin at the next G20 shindig in Australia.
The Times:
The term “shirt-front” is used to describe a front–on charge at an opponent in Australian Rules Football intended to knock the opponent to the ground. “I’m going to shirt-front Mr Putin,” Tony Abbott told reporters yesterday. He was describing his intention to press Mr Putin over the downing of the Malaysia Airlines flight MH17 over the Ukraine in July by what is thought to have been a missile fired by Russian separatists.
“I am going to say to Mr Putin: Australians were murdered,” he said.
Pravda opined of Abbott “grubby paw” stance:
“Thank God no Australian can be head of state, that privilege belongs to Queen Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom, because judging by the arrogance displayed recently by its prime minister, it appears the political class doesn’t have what it takes.”
Bring back the Tsar!
Pravda again:
Once again we see a country whose political class is divorced from the collective will of its people. Yet we see a politician who thinks it is cool to be rude, insolent, insulting, impolite, impertinent, unpolished, gross, unpleasant and downright impudent.”
The Abbott government should make it so clear to Russia’s Vladimir Putin that he is not welcome here that he is shamed into staying home…
Malaysia Airlines Flight MH17 with all the Australians on board was shot down by pro-Russian Ukrainian rebels using weapons the Russians gave them. These weapons were always intended to be used to kill innocent people.
The plan was to kill innocent Ukrainians. Instead they killed Australians among others. There is no circumstance in which this irresponsible and deadly Russian policy was justified.
The Russians committed a crime, and Australians were the victims…
Putin is the author of those policies.
But let’s get rady to SHIRT FRONT! Cue the boob tubes and hotpants:
Well, no.
In fact, Abbott is actually a rugby union man from NSW:
In rugby territory – league and union, Mr Abbott’s game – to shirtfront means to grab by the coat lapels, or indeed the front of a shirt, and vigorously challenge.
Putin is topless, routinely. Go for the ears…
