Hello everyone.

My name is HoreTore. I come from a land far up to the north, a place called Norway. During the 23 years I have lived here, I have always thought that my country is a place where no man is worth more than another; where we are all bound by the same laws and duties. Some recent events, however, have proved me wrong in this. Very wrong.

It all started when DN ran a story about how the King has a hidden fortune he won't report to anyone. A fortune that is, of course, invested in stocks, only poor people keep money in the bank these days. How is this problematic, you say? Well, we norwegians are big on openness of our financial dealings; everyone is required to report their wealth to the authorities. Now, the King is exempted from paying taxes, but he should of course be open about his financial state. In fact he is with most, it's just the part that is invested he's keeping quiet about. But what's the big deal? Well you see, our King is little more than a glorified poster boy nowadays. His "job" is to basically walk around and promote Norwegian businesses. Of course he gets requests from more businesses than he can get around to, so he will have to choose some of them to work with. But when our King has businesses interests of his own, how can we trust him not to favour the companies he himself has shares in? Why should we believe that he isn't using his position as tax-paid head of state to fill his own coffers?

A second story came a few weeks after that, about the crown prince and princess. A few years back, they bought a summer place in Risør, on the south coast of Norway. Nothing special about that, lots of others have done the same. But the inbreds did something nobody else can; they fenced off their property, took the public beach as their own private one and denied the public access to our own country. You see, we norwegians are very fond of walking around in nature. More specifically, we like to walk near water. There are a zillion routes you can walk in this country, at least 99% either lead to water, is by the ocean or takes you around a water. So, to enable us all to both be able to own a cabin near the water and walk around said water, we have declared a beach zone(100m from the sea) as public land; illegal to build in and open to all. But when your family tree consists of lots of cousin marriages, you are above the law. And their minions fell over themselves in trying to please their overlords. The losers? Everyone else, who can no longer walk on the land.

And I hear Sarah Ferguson is making even british politicians blush over her corruption....

No, it's time to cut the crap and cut off some heads. The only good King, is a dead King!
