Zola-Ink-Spots
Well winter is here. about minus 16 degrees C today. Snow is great until you must shovel the damned stuff away from the house. But a great wood fire is now burning inside. Always a good therapeutic event. Such is the Finland I live. One reason i will never want to live again in places like the UK is to do with this kind of reality principle. Living here in the north and in what is usually called Lapland the image-value of UK life seems absurd.

But don't think this blog site will be a fake tourist postcard of Finland. It will not. After nearly 30 years in the northern lands I do not fall for that trick and treat of fickle nationalistic romanticism.

I am still waiting for Finnish politicians to answer a few big questions. Was Finland involved in the nasty CIA flights of torture?
Was Finland involved in covering up the bombings of United Nations peacekeepers in the Middle East ( where one finn was killed) in order to play cool to EU-America and more especially Israel interests?
Oh no there is no nationalistic romanticism coming up here.
There is quite enough bullshit already talked on the internet about this Finland as Nokia land.
