Brunch à Monaco: La Salière



Lockerbie:
Scots blasted even in Monaco eatery

We decided to have brunch today nearby instead of in the apartment: more choice, expert service and in company with other friends as well. So we took the 10 minute stroll through Fontvielle to the Italian gourmet temple La Salière on the tranquil Quai Jean-Charles Rey, out on the terrace. Amazingly, the usually apolitical crowd there - normally more preoccupied with sun, sea, boats coming and going and the scenery - quickly picked up on Scotland's collaboration with Libyan terrorism and the release of the convicted murderer of 259 people and 11 Scots after barely 8 years in a comfortable incarceration facility.

Americans at the table next to ours vented their outrage first, making sure that peeps even in the remotest corner of the terrace can follow the arguments. Our two tables quickly sided with the Americans (in our group were the South African, 3 Brits, 4 French, 2 Monegasques and 2 Swiss) and we re-arranged the tables into one huge one. The roundtable discussion caught the attention of other patrons and the staff, and to our sheer delight everyone blasted Scotland and the British government for their action.

Except for these two Irish hoodlums in the remote corner: pale, ginger hair and in their retarded local lingo, they defended the "human decision." Who'd be surprised that Irish fucks side with terrorists, eh? With a history like theirs...

Radio and TV news in France are full of the story and its aftermath. Clearly, Scotland is isolated and shunned, and hopefully economical sanctions by responsible global citizens will hurt Scotland - and Britain - where it hurts them most: sales, meaning money. Boycott Brit goods, we surmised, and hurt Scottish interests wherever and whenever you can.

Labour is mostly responsible for subordinating Britain to Libyan terrorists: it started with Blair's pilgrimage to Gadhafi's tent to obtain drilling rights and oil contracts, and ended 3 months ago in Rome when Gordon Brown promised Gadhafi the Scottish pardon for the Lockerbie terrorist. Libya paid £1.6 Billion for the atrocity.

Brits, used to spineless governments, can add Muammar Gadhafi to the list of villains with British support, from Hitler and Stalin, to Idi Amin, Saddam Hussein (until Margaret Thatcher stopped that infamy) and IRA thugs. Dutifully, Gadhafi thanked today "my friend Gordon Brown, for resolving the final hurdle in our relations with Britain." Praise from hell, Gordon!

Oh, and brunch was just fantastic, and the drinks kept flowing. Quick nap is in order, followed by a dash to the beach in the afternoon. Evening dinner at a cozy eatery, before heading out from the Heliport at 7AM tomorrow.
