The Girling of the Boy Scouts Erases Men Mon Jul 29, 2024 13:00 | Will Jones
Boy Scouts of America has completed its girlification by finally dropping the last mention of "boy". It's the latest move by 'progressives' determined to pathologise masculinity and erase men, says Heather Mac Donald.

With her merciless slaying of the Freedom of Speech Act, Bridget Phillipson has shown herself to be a far more brutal political combatant than the enfeebled Tories. If you want to win the culture war, this is how to do it.

Perhaps their newly expressed colonial real-estate instincts are properly to be understood not as being fringe effects of a privately owned equity based & post-Thatcherite boom but rather as an older and more ingrained trait of the anglo-saxon( if we must add)-celtic inherently imperialist approach to travel.
For the "anglo-saxon-celtics" or as I already fear this going down the wrong way "the celtic-anglo-saxons" have always shown a propensity for the opening of privelaged ghettos and exploitation of the poorer foreigner. It was these very propensities which I held as true motive for the hasty and unthought expansion of the EU to 25 states under Ahern and of course the later adhesion of both Bulgaria and Romania. Their qualifications being nothing more important than reform of real estate laws which allowed tourist agents to be followed by estate agents long before any attempt was made to rehabilitate societies which had suffered in sucession communist and fascist dictatorships & all the attendent & sadly still concurrent human rights abuses.
Paula is a very good photographer & I'm delighted to be reminded of her work. Felipa be assured (I hope you can understand my english) not all Irish people think of your land as nothing more than money making stroke. That much said I did publically wonder and invite others to wonder long before your accession to the EU had your state and society enjoyed sufficient time to recover from your past without bowing down to the USA and "celtic-anglo-saxon empire".

Hello, I am really sorry but it is your fault. English and Irish are gready for cheap stuff. You want to buy in Bulgaria.Nobody ask you . Bulgaria is a really beautiful country not like Ireland or England.People which coulture is basicly drinking and shopping. You people forget that Ireland 20-30 years ago was same like Bulgaria.And because you have few euros in your pocket you think your are better.You are just pattetic.
Hey - those of you who did history in school may remember this guy called Michael Davitt, he was involved with this group called the Land League who campaigned against absentee landlords. It was a huge part of Irish history. Now we've got the sniff of money, we're doing the exact same thing to poorer people in countries that we have little knowledge of or affection for. Shame!
I can live with being called a moron by someone with widley differing views. My take on life might well seem moronic to some. That's their loss and their problem. But jealous, never in a million years!! Don't flatter yourself.
Madigan your are a moron!
It is exactly what Bulgaria needs, Who do you think are being employed to build these developments. Why don't you go to Bulgaria and see the employment is has created, the bars and restuarants that have opened to cater for the tourists etc. It has caused a major boom to the country and its people. You are very short sighted and your mindless comments about "scum" also show that you are jealous. I suggest you move to Siberia.
"Opens up the second home to the working man". That is really what Bulgarians need isn't it.?
Wide boys from over here have second homes, and working people in Bulgaria can't afford FIRST homes.!! Anyone who buys up property as an investment is scum, and I wish them all the misfortune in the world on their selfish escapades.
Did you get a camera for your birthday.
You have shown a few pics of Estate agents in Bulgaria. The same pics could have been shot in Dublin - what is your point. The fact is that Irish and British can buy a good value property in Bulgaria and probably get a good return on their investment. It opens up owning a second home to the ordinary working man. The rise in the economy in Ireland was very much fuelled by the construction boom and the same is happening in Bulgaria, that is good for Bulgaria. Take off your blinkers and get a life!
