Iceland Says "Nei" to Even Talking to the EU

As should we all.

If ever there was a fake democracy with an essentially toothless "Parliament", it is surely the EU.

No doubt however that after the war, national parliaments in European countries were not masters of their own affairs. How could it have been otherwise?

Yet Germany's "economic miracle" was won in defiance of the occupying power, reportedly single-handedly by a non-compliant critical thinker, Ludwig Erhard, who in defiance of the order to not change the post-war system of price controls is reputed to have responded "But I didn't change them, I abolished them". The rest was history.

Compare with the Germany of today that threw out all its power stations traditional and nuclear in favour of windmills and solar, the so-called "renewables". Yes they are renewable. but no they are neither reliable nor economical nor recyclable. German industry has shuttered more factories than ever (including once-mighty Volkswagen) as a result, and their government is now looking for a war with Russia to restart its economy by ... making munitions ...

Yes, war was what destroyed Germany in the first place.

Icelanders at any rate have more sense.

If you want to know what's really going on, ask a Cabbie.

The state of the world but in particular Britain, and in particular England, is of increasing concern to those of us who live here and have neither intention nor inclination to move elsewhere.

As always, Andy is rigorously logical, quintessentially English, and excellent in his analysis and presentation - in short, he continues to hit the nails that need hitting with admirable accuracy.

However, the question he has not yet addressed is this - is Rupert Lowe and his band of patriots (well, let's call a spade a spade) a sufficient force to overcome a complacent incompetent corrupted and incorrigible State of many malfunctioning parts (Police, Justice, Parliament, Monarchy, Civil Service, Medical Agencies, arms length QUANGOs and associated corporate entities all with snouts in the trough, Military, MI5, MI6, "Five Eyes", City of London, Rothchild's Bank of England, Off-shore money-laundering Dependencies, Foreign Office), a State which there are grounds to believe is run by internationally linked secret agencies and societies (viz Ben Fulford), through a ballot box that many believe is habitually fixed to keep their existing multi-sided Uniparty in power?

I only ask because whilst that description of the state of the Nation sounds like a conspiracy theory on steroids, I'm a long way from being convinced that it isn't pretty accurate.

Measles

In my day it was normal to have measles. Not especially pleasant, but normal. Just a childhood rite of passage, like chicken pox.

In fact, I was asthmatic prior to catching it, and for most purposes not asthmatic afterwards. Although prolonged exertion would still make me breathless, it actually seemed to improve my health.

Walking the 30 mile Tanners Marathon (Leith Hill, Ranmoor Common and all) within 10 hours became a regular annual feat.

As a student I even joined the local TA. 

So I don't buy the "measles is deadly" tale whatsoever. Of course if you are in poor health anyway and your immune system is in bad shape then almost anything may become serious. But I never heard of anybody I knew dying of measles.

"The 1963 campaign was not protecting American children against a lethal disease. The disease had stopped being lethal a generation earlier"

And how exactly is a "case" identified anyway?

The more you look, the more elusive the answers seem to be ...

Probably the title that by now near enough everybody can get behind.

Rich and guests "Burning Bright" and Jim Torma review the Trump performance at the UN (and Carney's performance in Canada).

Trump's version of self-censorship seems to be to make so many contradictory statements and assertions that nobody knows what he really does. At least It makes a change from the heavy-handed censorship of the media.
