The costliest place in Europe…
Is Dublin… Transport (esp taxis), dentists, doctors, newspapers, booze. I can’t back this assertion with hard evidence (government reports, etc.), just by day to day living here: anecdotal evidence.

The cuts…
Trafalgar Square recently saw the vermin (i.e., radicalised “students”) creep out to demonstrate their horror of the government not spending money. Unfortunately, Ed Milliban, the Socialist leader decided to address the mob of criminals, saying much about the Labour party’s tolerance of outright criminality and chaos.

Crims in London…

The President Takes a Bogey Is Obama a president playing golf, or a golfer playing president? From Jonah Goldberg… I’ve figured out Obama. He’s not a Muslim, he’s a golfer!

March 18, 2011 12:00 A.M. Obama’s Selective Anger From National Review: The president is mum about the Palestinian culture that celebrates savagery. President Obama is known for his cool. Some of his associates call him “No Drama Obama.” And certainly in the realm of foreign policy, his response to events has been phlegmatic. The Iranian […]

Loot!
Think of Katrina, or any disaster…what have you got? Looting! You must have seen scenes of spur of the moment criminals looting during Katrina or other disasters. But none in Japan, unless there were some American crims there – who could not believe their luck. See this: http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=d5c_1229007032 Japan: A nation of law abiding citizens…

IRA goes to the USA
St.Patrick’s Day approaches and the IRA will use it as a big fund-raising opportunity in the US. The IRA has successfully conned millions of people of Irish descent in America into believing that supporting the IRA, a terrorist organisation, and its terrorist leader, Jerry Adams, is somehow helping the Irish people.
