Opinion
Are the English Fit to Govern Themselves?
Britain once questioned whether Ireland was capable of self-rule. Now the Irish wonder whether the Brits are up to it.Great Britain is an empire on its islands.
It should never have joined the E.U.
WOGs still start at Calais.
Westminster never believed the Irish were British or human.
Westminster has not made peace with the revolting provinces on the Continent of Europe.
"Democracy is a wonderful idea. It should be tried."

In New L.I.R.R. Concourse, Commuters Can’t Quite Forget Transit Woes
Passengers praised a new train hall across from Penn Station, but wondered when the rest of the New York City area’s transit might start measuring up to global standards.There are still just the two century old East River tunnels.
Sunnyside yard is gone. The West Side yard is full of new buildings. The Hudson river tunnels are also a century old and at capacity. The east side connector to Grand Central is not open. Maintenance on trains is done at Hillside in outer Queens. The state of New York would like to deny it owns the L.I.R.R.
The passengers will never be satisfied.
