From the desk of Dirk Crols on Thu, 2011-04-28 17:14 It was to be expected that the success of the True Finns in the Finnish parliamentary election earlier this month would cause many angry comments in Euroland. Many of the European elite openly expressed their resentment over the party's policies which include opposition to the European Union, reductions in foreign aid, strict limits on immigration, tougher punishment for crime, support for cultural activities promoting the Finnish identity etc. The point of concern for the 'official Europe' is of course the campaign of Timo Soini's party against a bailout of Portugal and its opposition against the European Stability Mechanism in general. In Timo Soini's words, "the Finnish cow should be milked in Finland and the milk should not be sent abroad in charity". From the desk of George Handlery on Thu, 2011-04-28 08:39 1. North African autocracies that controlled the Arab Muslims of the region are collapsing. Since then, a wave of a human mass is forcing –not requesting- entrance into Europe. Primarily the crowd that likes to claim refugee status is exploiting the Italian island of Lampedusa in the Mediterranean to gain access to “Europe”. The consequences are creating a problem not only for Italy but also for the EU. First, Italy uses a number of very Italian techniques to cope with the direct challenge. Naturally, the genuine Lampedusans, by now outnumbered by entrants, are loudly demanding relief. The more so since the guests are not necessarily orderly and show an inclination to use violence –such as torching their housing- to force their transfer to the mainland. There they expect to receive permits to stay which in turn allow them to invade the rest of the EU. From the desk of Sean Gabb on Wed, 2011-04-27 08:06 On Tuesday the 26th April 2011, Her Majesty's Courts and Tribunals Service announced that the inability to read and write English – and even sometimes to understand it fluently – should not automatically prevent anyone from sitting as jurymen. It was accepted that a Judge may decide if any particular juryman is fit to serve on account of his inability to understand the proceedings. At the same time, a spokesman for the Courts and Tribunals Service has claimed that “people who cannot read English very well but can speak English… would be able to serve on a jury.” From the desk of Svein Sellanraa on Mon, 2011-04-25 15:34 I recently had the privilege to exchange a series of questions with Norwegian author and pundit Ole Jørgen Anfindsen via e-mail. Anfindsen's writings on race, gender, and political correctness have appeared in major publications, and provide a rare corrective to the prevailing orthodoxies about those subjects. He founded the English- and Scandinavian-language website HonestThinking.org with his brother Jens Thomas, and is currently its editor. His recent bookSelvmordsparadigmet (The Suicidal Paradigm) features original contributions by Roger Scruton, Henry Harpending and Frank Salter, and Fjordman.True Finns Vis-A-Vis A European Transfer Union
