..my nephew went to Liverpool for a lad's weekend last week, going through Dublin airport. On his return, he was arrested by the Gestapo and held against his will in a Dublin hotel whilst they awaited the results of a test. He was the only one held and it was because some test papers he had were a few hours out of date or something. Oh, and of course, he's hit with the bill for this 4-night privilege.

The outlook is very dark (it always has been, it's just that this new world is now 'normalized' i.e. the majority are either conditioned or have simply given in) and I'm perplexed at how so many people are just so willingly playing along. It's all very worrying for those of us who can see, aren't afraid to say what they see, and are unwilling to just bend over and take whatever the government is dishing out.

I'm fearlessly going to remain in the minority. Fuck the system.
