Under the rules of the European Parliament, a conservative MEP was given one unforgiving minute to make the case against the wretched bail-outs and stimulus packages that worsen the recession.
Lewis writes -
. .it is easy to think the State has a lot of different objects - military, political, economic, and what not. But in a way things are much simpler than that. The State exists simply to promote and to protect the ordinary happiness of human beings in this life. A husband and wife chatting over a fire, a couple of friends having a game of darts in a pub, a man reading a book in his own room or digging in his own garden - that is what the State is there for. And unless they are helping to increase and prolong and protect such moments, all the laws, parliaments, armies, courts, police, economics, etc., are simply a waste of time.
Reading in the Times that “Hundreds of boxes of the antiviral Tamiflu were sold last week and demand for surgical face masks rose amid fears that swine influenza will develop into a pandemic.” reminded me of LC Jones and his immortal phrase in the hilarious series Dad’s Army whilst he went about doing just what he was advising against.
What is it with a society that lives longer, healthier and more prosperous than before to give in to irrational terrors and emotional outbursts? How come it always succumbs to media led scare stories even though we’ve been led on wild and very expensive goose chases before? Read the rest of this entry »
Azzjoni Nazzjonali welcomes all kinds of private investments into our economy, not least where it concerns its lifeblood; energy. However AN’s support is qualified to those investments which are commercially viable and which will not require public subsidy to sustain. It is illogical to expect the public to invest in energy technology only to end up buying the resultant energy at more expensive and inefficient rates.
The European Greens, Socialist and other left leaning parties have always militated for immigrants to have the right to vote. The reason is obvious. Greens and Socialist parties around Europe, increasingly depend on the immigrant vote to assume or retain power.
This is not a new impetus either, it has been going on for the best of two decades as the mass amnesties given to millions of illegal immigrants by left leaning governments all around Europe (like in Spain and Italy) clearly attest.
Analysis of voting patterns across Europe likewise attest en-block voting of the ‘immigrant electorate’ for left-leaning parties.

United Nations Secretary General Ban Ki-Moon told our parliament that “the issue of irregular migration was closely linked to that of climate change”. How stupid of me! And all this time I believed that the root cause was a combination of tyranny, corruption, tribalism, failed Marxist economics and genocidal warfare – you know, all the undesirable characteristics that tend to define many of the failed states that make up the United Nations.
Won't need speed cameras, that's for sure
Comment: Arnold Cassola and other Green evangelists have been harping lately how a Green Economy would stimulate an economic revival. The Green Economy is a dangerous myth - it is a byword for a return to a new primitive age. There is a country which has a such an economy.. it’s called North Korea, so i included some pictures to give you a preview of how life would look like should the Greens ever had the chance to determine your life. Of course your ‘leaders’ would still be able to enjoy the trappings of life…

When everybody seems to have the same big idea, you just know it can only mean trouble. Remember sub-prime mortgages? Now universally excoriated as the spawn of the devil, the proximate cause of the credit crunch and all that followed, a few years back “sub-prime” was everyone’s darling. Financiers loved it because it generated sumptuously high-yielding debt instruments; governments, because it promised to make even the poor into proud property owners.
If ever there was a musician who was aware of the big picture it must be Ludvig Van Beethoven. Not only did he see it, he could also hear it despite his deafness.It is said that God shouted into his ear - and I for one believe it, his music is simply divine and drags you through all the emotions of human existence.
It is depressing when one stops to contemplate, that today we eulogise aimless drum banging glorified as a gift of ‘ethnic’ culture - or the incoherent mutterings of RAP ‘music’, or the abstract, incoherent babble of garbage otherwise known as house, techno and what not.
Genius is genius, but it is also the offspring of culture. Only over a century ago they aspired for greatness - today we wallow in mediocrity. And it shows in everything we attempt - from politics to architecture - we have lost the sense of beauty - We lack the cultural confidence and it will take a substantial amount of re-education and a rejection of the predominant culture of cultural Marxism to regain it.
But enough of the lamentation, and let us appreciate this great son of Western Civilisation. Here is the heart wrenching and ecstatic overture of his - Egmont - directed by the legendary Von Karajan
Incidentally, my best friend - a disciple of the maestro alerted me to a fictional yet great film about Beethoven. It’s called “Copying Beethoven”. Watch the trailer here: Read the rest of this entry »
Dr. Jose Herrera, who is our country’s shadow minister on justice, and who only a few weeks ago lectured us (gosh we didn’t know) on the national security considerations of illegal immigration problems has turned up defending an illegal immigrant cum khat smuggler in court.
In his article Dr. Herrera stated that “Contrary to general perception, the immigrants are only too aware of all our weaknesses. In fact, it has become a common tendency for them to take advantage.” Read the rest of this entry »
