I grew up on the northeast coast of Scotland, which is closer to Norway than London, there were always Norwegians around. We shared the North Sea, and I played football with their kids. Which is why I wrote what I did. I could have chosen to play up the indecent glee of some right-wingers who thought an Islamist was responsible. But I chose to mourn with my friends. That is all...Simonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15309809679331128837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23253782.post-54749627853965968612011-07-23T11:25:46.218-04:002011-07-23T11:25:46.218-04:00hi Neil...I've never understood why neo-nazis ...hi Neil...I've never understood why neo-nazis are allowed to wander around Europe and Russia and Canada after what their ilk did during the war. In my opinion they should be outlawed and arrested on sight. And yes the Norwegians are a marvellous civilized people. It must be an awful shock, but I'm sure they won't surrender to fear...Simonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15309809679331128837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23253782.post-19525728113740850422011-07-23T10:23:44.949-04:002011-07-23T10:23:44.949-04:00"If you sail a boat in a straight line off th..."If you sail a boat in a straight line off this Scottish beach where I played when I was a boy, it won't be too long before you'll find yourself in Norway.<br /><br />"Which is why I know them so well..."<br /><br />Isn't that how Sarah Palin knows Russia?The Mound of Soundhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09023839743772372922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23253782.post-81560382297141344262011-07-23T09:33:39.030-04:002011-07-23T09:33:39.030-04:00What an awful, horrific, cowardly crime. Norwegian...What an awful, horrific, cowardly crime. Norwegians are such lovely people and they simply did not deserve this; no one does. For this Quisling, Anders Behrings Breivik, to so viciously murder innocent men, women, and children - utterly despicable. Hopefully if any good comes out of this it's to cast daylight onto this foul, cowardly bunch of bigoted fascists and murderers and show to the World what they and their rotten "movement" are all about. Our fathers, mothers, grandfathers, grandmothers, aunts and uncles of every race, creed, and nation gave their all fighting these bastards seventy years ago and we have to continue the fight now and show the fascists and corporatists and racists and bigots and religious extremists that there is no place in the World for their kind of hateful nonsense.<br /><br />"I dag er jeg Norsk.
