10/ 77% of Britons want cut in immigration. I don't include myself in their number.

11/ The secret to happiness. (HT: Chartporn)

12/ The Falklands here and here. I have sympathy with the idea that we can talk about shared revenue from oil with Argentina, but no sympathy with the idea that we can talk about sovereignty unless Falkland Islanders themselves want to (either with respect to independence, or joint sovereignty with Argentina or a complete transferal to Argentina). And not following bullying by an Argentine Government. A Government has a duty to its citizens and to people who feel they belong under a particular Government. It is a cowardly Government that abandons those who feel they belong to a country for the sake of short-lived bullying of those who demand a country give up sovereignty over its own citizens for some ill-defined but apparently 'liberal' motivations.
