The Nordic Model on Wikipedia

There's been an unknown battle going on on Wikipedia these past few months.

After finding one of the most biased pieces of pro-socialist junk ever on there, I did a few key modifications to correctly represent the truth of placing yourself in the Nordic Model.

Funnily enough, some pro-socialist (Wolfman?), came along and took out the newly added facts covering High taxation (undeniably true), and the capital flight of high-worth, highly productive people such as Ingvar Kamprad (Ikea, himself and the business), Janus Friis (Skype), Mikkel Kessler (just before his big prize fight), and finally, even Stephen Kinnock, son of former UK Labour Party leader Neil Kinnock, and the husband of the Danish Socialist party leader Helle Thorning Schmidt doesn't base himself in Denmark, probably because of the high taxes.

Finally revisited the page after 2 months, and those key facts are all back in. Well done that someone else saw the light.

Ken Lynge Primby - the story grows

As people who read my posts in the past probably know, I suffered big time in Denmark, thanks to a certain Ken Lynge Primby and his numerous Connect business companies.

Well, good to see the man getting the publicity he deserves, as evidenced by this article here.

Would you do business with this man?

Should Britain join the Euro?

I used to be strongly in favour of a single European currency, and my partner is from the continent, but after living over there for 3 years, I've completely revised my opinion.

Culturally, Europe is much more socialist and controlling, when compared with the historic British attitude of an island nation based on international trade and financial freedoms, as evidenced by our reputation as one of the best places to conduct international business, and our base as the world's leading financial centre.

Using the old dictum that "he who controls the currency controls the nation", by giving up the national currency, you are also giving up much of the control and handing it to another power, with vested interests of its own.

Fortunately, at this point in time, most Britons realise this and are opposed to the single currency. We all know this, so why even bother going to the expense and hassle of a referendum?
