EU citizenship for sale: Malta’s parliament approved a controversial bill allowing people to buy Maltese citizenship, including a Maltese passport and access to the EU’s Schengen Area, for €650,000


I don't understand how someone can be in favor of this corrupt idea. You shouldn't give privilege to the wealthy, especially when such crucial rights are at stake.
Not only this is destroying democracy, but also separating people. There would be less incentive from the rich to accommodate the poor immigrants.
P.S. I know this kind of corruption is perpetrated worldwide under a thin veil of "investment", but this is brazen injustice.

    No one cares about the North of England


    As non-UKian I find it amusing how current government ignores everything north of Leeds and Manchester.

    I'm waiting for David Cameron to announce a plan to depopulate all of this area to make room for giant prison complex.

    Prussia in Weimar Germany?


    Prussian language was dead already and germanification of Prussia was extensive (but on the other hand it was German, or even British army which adapted drill commands; converting soldiers into mindless killing machines).
