Many years ago, I left my native Denmark to escape its sky-high taxes and smothering welfare state. I have taken refuge in England where the situation is not quite as bad. Issues close to my heart are immigration (should be free and unrestricted), taxes & government (there should be none), and the sanctity of individual liberty and private property.

Respect for the German president
A relief to finally see a senior Western European politician stand up for Edward Snowden. Unfortunately, the German president has no political power and Germany was one of the countries blocking air space entry of the private jet of the Bolivian president when he returned to Bolivia from a summit in Russia on suspicion that Edward Snowden might have been on board the plane. Also, Germany has refused Snowden's request for asylum.
