Den som leter etter eksempler på vestlig samfunnskollaps, vil finne flere av dem i dagens Russland eller dagens USA enn i Europa, skriver Eivind Trædal.
De som faktisk truer Norge
Det er ikke hjemmehjelpen Fatima eller bussjåføren Mohamed som undergraver nasjonen vår, men utenlandske oligarker og autoritære ledere.

You really notice the difference in air quality too, as more bicycles and fewer cars take to the streets. On trips to Paris in the last few years, I've noticed the air being so much more breathable and clear than it was in previous decades. And that's backed up by evidence.

Interesting article and building. Looks great at front/back but more forbidding at sides. Curve made me think of an 80s tenement - Shakespeare St, Maryhill, Glasgow: blogs.ed.ac.uk/docomomoiscu... Some new HA builds have blocks with courtyards and a few pends (Slatefield St/Whitevale) but no curves…

My second book, A History of Council Housing in 100 Estates, is a full colour hardback so not cheap but it's currently discounted and obviously worth every penny. It would make a wonderful Christmas present for someone special in your life. 😊
