Came through this Swiss town earlier today. Is this a town where employment law isn't observed fairly?

1976 Punk Hit Named the Best Roadtrip Song — And It Still Rocks - Men's Journal share.google/JwHsrZeHejpcZ8k… True. But afterwards, where on earth did the brainchild for Egyptian Reggae come from? Has there ever been a more contrasting follow up to any hit record?

I don't want to come home. My thoughts and prayers for and with her.

Horrific enough, but she is battling cancer too.
As a cancer fighter, I know life is already shattered and frightening enough without this barbarism being brought to your door.
My thoughts are with this brave young woman.

We are watching people attacked in our streets by men who should never have been here, while being told not to feel rage, not to protest, and not to ask why this keeps happening.
@Keir_Starmer @ShabanaMahmood
You have blood on your hands.
You allowed unvetted men from hostile, violent and incompatible cultures into our communities.
No proper vetting.
No real security.
No safety for women and girls.
And people are noticing the pattern.
Knives.
Necks.
Throats.
Attacks intended to kill.
Quran 47:4: “When you meet those who disbelieve in battle, strike their necks…”
Quran 8:12: “…strike them upon the necks…”
We are told never to mention it.
No more.
The first duty of government is to protect its citizens.
You have failed.

Exactly what I was thinking, almost in tears, at this moment last night in Bern. 10pm Friday night, folk of all ages, children to pensioners. Folk of all ages creeds and colours mingling together. Young women feeling safe and happy. No drunken activity. A privilege to be here.
A 17 year old girl, walking down the street, stabbed in the throat.
A 49 year old man, walking his dog, repeatedly stabbed to death.
A 29 year old women, on her way home from work, stabbed 23 times with a screwdriver.
A 18 year old man, stabbed 5 times, died in handcuffs.
A 6 year old girl, a 7 year old girl, and a 9 year old girl, attending a dance party, stabbed over 200 times.
A 15 year old boy, stabbed 13 times, doused in petrol and burned alive.
A 44 year old man, slashed up, lost his eye, tried to cut his head off.
I mean seriously, wtf is happening, what is going on?
I feel sick, I want to cry.
Please God make it stop.

Until you've been in a cab up the busy mountain road from Innsbruck to Garmisch, you don't know what fast driving is!

This might start an argument… What was the greatest cartoon or TV show of your childhood?
You can only pick one.

Back to Innsbruck on Friday night for evening meal in the central square at Franz's. An excellent restaurant with good food and good beer. Superb.

St Anton Friday. A return visit to Kathi's Back Werk for one beer before the train back to Innsbruck. Apparently this local brewery started up in 1810!
