The welfare state is unsustainable economically, socially and morally.

Kudos Lindsay. One of the best blogs there is.
And you have a great Xmas - from an appreciative reader.
Congratulations Lindsay, I have known and read what you have to say for longer than 6 years and appreciate the intelligent properly researched information that is so valuable to so many of us. Mike Webber.
Anyone who wants an understanding of welfare and its full ramifications as seen from outside the beltway but also free of popular myths and misconceptions, should read your blog most days. One does not have to agree with your view point but to ignore it's message is just plain dumb.
Do not waver, the truth will prevail.
Best Wishes for the festive season and congrats again, Murray.
Reminds me of the days when I worked in Ulster radar and we welcomed the incoming pilots transferring from the Shannon vector with the phrase "This is Ulster radar 1066.6". They thought it hilarious as the Ulster accent translated 1066.6 into 'one zero sex sex decimal sex!
As I was amongst the first of the females to be employed by the Air ministry in Air Traffic Control it certainly caused many of the American pilots to do a double take and ask for confirmation of our frequency (again and again and again) as the last thing they expected flying into Belfast International Airport was a girly voice on the air talking about sex!
But this is Lindsay's moment - congratulations, not long to the big 10!

Good on you, Lindsay!

If your blog was full of sex you would not attract the quality commenters you do.
