A bit like in Denmark then. Be like us, don't be different, or we will come down on you very hard - The Law of Jante.

Don’t want to spoil a good story, but Kalundborg has been there for hundreds of years, so a wee bit longer than Novo Nordisk and Wegovy. In fact, I went to primary school in Kalundborg, when Novo Nordisk was still in diapers.

All this extra cost (time & money) for *less* fucking access to our continent. Brexit is such ridiculous "self harm"
For god's sake UK, stop with your Gammon Curtain & do what rest of Europe doing: join the EU/reciprocate FoM; join Schengen. Embrace freedom

Port of Dover bosses insist there will not be delays due to the new system on day one.

who the fuck gives a shit

Walk away from toxic platforms

Fun! May I just leave this here then, please? www.jandehn.com/post/walk-aw...

Loyalty to social media platforms is deeply misplaced. Manipulation is designed to trap the feeble-minded. You do not belong there. Move on.

Agree. Good way of putting it. We need political reform, with penalties for not delivering on election promises and big rewards for doing what was promised. Details here: www.jandehn.com/post/politic...

Lying in Western politics has assumed unprecedented scale and severity. Democratic reform is urgently needed to resurrect political integrity.

BLOG: The US is soooo fucked! The economy is already tanking and what does The Donold do? Jack up taxes on Americans! This is beyond stupid. Enjoy your recession, Anericans! You voted for this! China should be handled very differently. www.jandehn.com/post/do-not-...

The West has gone to war with China on the misguided belief that tariffs can fix trade imbalances. There is a far better way.

BLOG: Politicians' lies are a disease in our democracy. We are FAR too accepting of lying by our leaders, perhaps a legacy from feudal times, when they could get away with anything. It should not be this way. Here's my reform proposal to make politicians work for us: www.jandehn.com/post/politic...

BLOG: It's pathetic that a UK political party copies Trump in order to try to sell itself, especially given the plethora of UK-specific problems that need urgent attention. This is political failure of the highest order, reform sorely needed. I propose a way forward: www.jandehn.com/post/politic...
