I remember this interview (from my counter-Jihad days) with economist Tino Sanandaji on CBN -



Note he says that there was initially a - violent, aggressive, racist backlash (to non-white mass immigration) in Sweden.

I wonder whether Irish politicians traitors think that Ireland is now in that phase? 🤔
 
Nice photo of Kalasatama looking north in the new Redi hub in Helsinki. The towers were built in the last five years, I know because my view changed as they grew taller and taller. They all house businesses on the lower floors: supermarkets, fashion outlets, specialist shops, national brands, etc and the middle floors house offices above them. The upper floors are apartments, mostly private investments. It's a new part of the city which (like my own area) was recovered from the sea some two decades plus ago. The plan is lots of new housing and a new commercial centre for shopping, partying, etc.



It takes the pressure off the city centre area around Central Station. Looks fabulous at night too. I'm currently considering an apartment swap-out with the housing authority. My current place would ideally suit a young couple with a child, the rent reflects the size of my place and it seems a shame to have so much unnecessary space going unused. But I am very happy here and so I'm not sure about it until I see what they have to offer me. Kalasatama is the site of the old fishing harbour. The build is very nice, they shaped some of the buildings on opposite sides of the housing blocks to look like the front and rear of a ship. From the north looking south it's about two kilometers away, you can see what appears to be a large old-fashioned sailing ship. The sailing theme continues all over the area and it's all brand spanking new.

The shapely bridge you see is the link to Helsinki Zoo, an island unto itself.
The other bridge is the metro line heading east to Vuosaari and Itäkeskus - the Ballyfermot of Finland.
I don't visit zoos on principle, though I'll have to take a look if I decide to move.
Big changes all over Helsinki city, with lots of options opening up for a change of address.
I've been in this apartment since 2007, so a change of scenery might also be nice.
 
Beautiful bridge and loving the skyline. Meanwhile Dublin is stuck with shit like this.



 
Am I right in thinking that's the Point Depot?

The roundabout leads south across the bridge?

Pretty fucking horrible alright. Dumb idea to add that cladding outside the glass front: the seagulls are gonna shit all over that whole block and it'll require constant cleaning. We had a building around the corner fitted with an outside structural form; then the pigeons and gulls moved into the metal construction pipes and destroyed the exterior with white streaks of shit all day every day. They've since removed it as it was really just facade, not important to the structure.

Maybe it was down to the scare after Grenfell Towers in London.
 
Plus thirty on the balcony and twenty-seven Celsius down by the beach. This is intense heat and it's just the beginning of a wave that'll run until the middle of next week at least. I was in the city this morning and all of the departments stores have the air conditioning on full blast. I had one meeting at the patents office at 1030 and when I came out I nearly passed out with the wallop of the heat hitting me face first. Weather warnings all over the shop reminding Finns to use sun tan blockers and creams. Fire warnings are also in place. The city will empty tomorrow evening as the cities residents take off up north to the wilds. The beaches around the city will still be busy as the late teens and over that age stay when the parents take the kids up to the forests and lakes.

Other news from Helsinki Finland includes the fact that Finnish people and permanent residents in general are not handing over three quarters of a billion euros of Finnish people's tax money to YLE National Television Finland over the next three years, and neither will they ever be allowed generate advertising revenue by showing ongoing television commercials of Finnish products made by Finnish people for Finnish people employing only Finnish people to produce actual Finnish content for Finnish and Swedish speaking Finns on Finnish TV.

That's all you.

All of it.

Poor Jambo - stuck permanently within the storms and rains of the Irish borders: lampooned by the angelus, a sucker for the six/one, as gay as a fete in vicar's back garden, and as despised and loathed as any Irishman who's gone before him. Even Sham Frog. Or the bucket. Or the drunk. No wonder you lot orbited around each other so well. The Z Team in all her splendor and glory.

Still watching the Late Late Show replays on youtube, Jimmy?

What's your opinion on Gay as a gay man?

Like your new Sinead O'Connor wax model?

Washed your butt recently?
