A Momentus Week
NO TAXATION WITHOUT REPRESENTATION
In history there are a very few weeks that are of significant importance to the world, but we are just completing one such week.
A number of events in Europe during this week have collectively been of great significance. The collective power and wealth of the countries that form the European Union make these events of immense importance to the world.
BSD decided not to comment on the events as they unfolded, but to reflect and research before posting comment.
That comment will be posted during the coming days.
In the meantime, we congratulate the people of the Irish Republic for their exercise of democracy in the face of bribes and intimidation
