Is it that we can fly the banner outside the U.K.? — what practical significance does that have? England, Scotland, Wales and N. Ireland have chosen to fly a common flag. But we cannot do that, no. Because it is an “offense” against our feeling as a “free” people to have the Dannebrog flying for us, phew.
BLARK_translated
Ella er tað, at vit kunnu veittra við merkinum uttan fyri S.T.? - hvønn praktiskan týdning hevur tað? Ongland, Skotland, Wales og N. Írland hava valt at veittra við einum felags flaggi. Men tað kunnu vit ikki, nei. Tí tað er eitt "fornermilsi" ímóti okkara kenslu sum "frælst" fólk at hava dannebrog veittrandi fyri okku...
Is it that we as a nation can have our OWN embassy abroad? — there is a lot of administration. Isn't the administration expensive enough as it is?
BLARK_translated
Ella er tað, at vit sum tjóð kunnu hava okkara EGNU ambassadur úti í heimi? - har er ein rúgva av umsiting. Er umsitingin ikki nóg dýr sum er?
Ella asks if there will be a state of war again in our area: WE can ask NATO to defend us, the Danes certainly won’t bother!
BLARK_translated
Ella er tað um krígsstøða verður aftur um okkara leiðir: VIT kunnu biðja nato verja okkum, danir tíma sikkurt ikki!
Well, there are many questions. I don't understand them. Do you?
BLARK_translated
Well, har eru nógvir spurningar. EG skilji teir ikki. Gera tit?
Churchill said many wise words. Among other things, that if you are not a communist when you are young, you have no heart, but if you are one when you are older, you have no brain. So the conclusion is that Eidesgaard, Dam, Strøm, Guttesen, Petersen have heart and brain. Høgni, on the other hand, well he has only worke...
BLARK_translated
Churchill segði nógv vís orð. M.a. um tú ikki ert kommunistur sum ungur, so hevur tú onki hjarta, men ert tú tað sum eldri, hevur tú ongan heila. So niðurstøðan er, at Eidesgaard, Dam, Strøm, Guttesen, Petersen hava hjarta og heila. Høgni harafturímóti, tjaa hann hevur bara arbeitt?
Does Jógvan Jensen think we get free treatment at the national hospital? We certainly do not. We pay for it dearly. It is a business — not charity.
BLARK_translated
Heldur Jógvan Jensen at vit fáa ókeypis viðgerð á ríkissjúkrahúsinum? Tað gera vit altso ikki. Vit betala fyri tað í dýrum dómum. Tað er forrætning - ikki olmussa.
Otherwise it is far too much for these equalizers - Eidesgaard, Dam, Strøm, Guttesen, Petersen - to go around shouting Nazi and fascist at everyone who does real political work here in the country.
BLARK_translated
Annars er tað for langt út at hesir javnaðarmenninir - Eidesgaard, Dam, Strøm, Guttesen, Petersen - ganga og rópa nazist og fasist ella øllum teimum, sum gera eitt veruligt politiskt arbeiði her í landinum.
Oh my, how is that — aren’t both Strøm, Guttesen and Magnussen old, organized Stalinists?
BLARK_translated
Ohg hvussu er tað - eru ikki bæði Strøm, Guttesen og Magnussen gamlir, organiseraðir stalinistar?
Yes, now Høgni gets some words of truth from Eidesgaard: From being described as a national fascist he is now being labeled as Tirana, a Beijing communist!
BLARK_translated
Ja, nú fær Høgni nøkur sannleikans orð frá Eidesgaard: Frá at skýra hann nasjonalfasit verður hann nú útnevndur sum Tirana, Peking kommunistur!
I miss guidance on what we should do when the block disappears (see the post from May 15). Should we cut back, increase exports, or both? What and how should this problem be solved? This solution is a condition for sovereignty, so there must be a lot of good ideas about what one can do.
BLARK_translated
Eg saknist eftir boðum uppá hvussu vit gerða tá blokkurin hvørvur (sjá innleg frá 15. mai). Skulu vit skerða niður, økja útflutningin ella bæði. Hvat og hvussu skal hesin trpulleikin loysast. Hendan loysnin er ein treyt fyri fullveldinum, so tað mugu verða nógv góð boð uppá hvat ein kann gerða.
We can certainly manage on our own in some/many areas, but for many years to come we will be very much dependent on Danish goodwill in the hospital sector.
BLARK_translated
Vit kunnu saktans klára okkum sjálvi á nøkrum/nógvum økjum, men vit verða í sera nógv ár framyvir tengd at danskari vælvild á sjúkrahúsøkinum.
No, dear Petra. This article is one of the many political emergency eggs from Eidesgaard. Toothless grumbling.
BLARK_translated
Nei, Petra góða. Handa greinin er eitt av mongum politiskum neyðareggjum frá Eidesgaard. Tannleyst kroyst.
In Sosialurin today Høgni Hoydal receives some words of truth from Jóannes Ejdesgaard.
BLARK_translated
Í Sosialinum í dag fær Høgni Hoydal nøkur sannleiks orð frá Jóannesi Ejdesgaard.
Worn-out ambulances, hospitals, coastal shipping. Has a lot to do with sovereignty (and its neglect by society to act!), Mr. Fridtjof C. This may fall under the same well-known justification as the one with the Ship Inspection, about taking it over as soon as possible, because the Danish Ship Inspection was too strict ...

P.S. Has there ever been any disaster on a large farm in the Faroe Islands — this has been the closest we come to a landed gentry family in the Faroe Islands — and have the people of Hoydalar ever experienced any hardship in this country?
BLARK_translated
P.S. Nær hevur verið nøkur neyð á stórsta garði í Føroyum - hetta hevur verið tað nærmasta vit koma eini góðseigarastætt í FR - og Hoydalsfólkini hava tey nakrantíð ligið nakra neyð í hesum landi?
Don't you read Danish newspapers? Don't you watch Danish television? Don't you know that conditions in hospitals throughout the Nordic countries are under severe strain? That people have never waited so long before to get treated? What does that have to do with sovereignty? Nothing.
BLARK_translated
Lesa tit ikki donsk bløð? Síggja tit ikki danskt sjónvarp? Vita tit ikki, at umstøðurnar á sjúkrahúsunum í øllum Norðurlondum eru hart spentar? At fólk ongantíð fyrr hava bíðað so leingi eftir at sleppa framat? Hvat hevur tað við fullveldið at gera? Slutur.
The children attend school in the Faroe Islands. We preserve that. Do not be afraid. We just need to adapt a higher level of schooling in the Faroe Islands according to our conditions and according to our resources and not foreigners.
BLARK_translated
Børnini ganga skúla í Føroyum. Tað varveita vit. Veri ikki bangin. Vit skulu bara tillaða hægri skúlagongd í Føroyum eftir okkra treytum og eftir okkra tilfeingi og ikki útlendingar.
Borghild, it is not because of the Danes that we have schools. On the contrary, they have always opposed Faroese schooling. Go and read Faroese history! Sincerely, Demos.
BLARK_translated
Borghild, tað er ikki dønum fyri at takka at vit hava skúlar. Tvørturímóti hava teir altíð mótarbeitt føroyskum skúlaskapi. Far og les føroya søgu! Vinarliga, Demos.
Traitors are people without economic common sense. Therefore they cannot be prosecuted for activities harmful to the country.
BLARK_translated
Loysingarfólk eru fólk uttan búskaparligt hønuvit. Tí kunnu tey ikki ákærast fyri landsskaðiligt virksemi.
Petra: well, it's the same for many - God and the home rule system.
BLARK_translated
Petra.jamen tað er tað sama fyri mongum - Gud og heimastýrisskipanin.
Why are you afraid. You don’t need to be afraid. Denmark only gives us a small crumb (a school and an apartment block), just to tie us by the foot so we can do nothing. They take all control of us. In the past most Faroese went to elementary school and it went fine. They were healthy and clever people, so schooling can...
BLARK_translated
Hví ræðast tit. Tit behøvast ikki vera ræðslusligin. Danmark gevur okkum bara ein lítlan mola (skúla og blokk), bara fyri at binda okkum um fótin so vit einki kunnu. Teir taka alt ræði av okkum. Fyrr gingu flestu føroyingar í barnaskúla og tað gekk fínt. Teir vóru raskir og klókir menn, so skúlagongd kann tálmast og ti...
We will build the country in the way we want it and not by foreigners. Forget the SU and other leeching in Denmark. We are Faroese. We are a proud, fine and vigorous people. We must adapt our lives to Faroese conditions. We take full responsibility and must have sovereign power in the Faroe Islands. We will manage in t...

It is not only God to thank for good schooling. The home rule system has its large share.
BLARK_translated
Tað er ikki bert Gudi at takka fyri góðan skúlaskap. Heimastýrisskipanin eigur sín stóra lut.
So I circulate (or issue) a plan with all the funds that are recorded in the account. It is quick for someone to get ahead and give support.
BLARK_translated
So eftirlýsi eg eina ætlan við øllum teimum pengunum sum standa á bók. Tað er skjótt at onkur sleppur framat at geva studning.
Yes, that requires wisdom and for us to use money correctly, but what then when the bloc is gone, interest rates are high, the oil price is up and the fish price is down. Then there is a need for the kroner that have been put aside in the book.
BLARK_translated
Ja, tað krevur skil og vit at brúka pening rætt, men hvat so tá blokkurin er vekk, rentan høg, oljuprísurin á hæddini og fiskaprísurin í botni. Tá er brúk fyri teimum krónumum sum eru settar á bók.
Hundreds of millions of the Danish total grant are being entered into the book.
BLARK_translated
Hundraðtals milliónir av donsku heildarveitingini vera settar inn á bók.
If this money were used, the Faroese economy would collapse after a few years.
BLARK_translated
Varð hesin peningur brúktur, so syndraðist føroyski búskapurin eftir fáum árum.
That is to say, if the Danish block as a ruling party does not disappear, the home rule economic crisis will repeat itself before we notice.
BLARK_translated
T.v.s., at fellur danski blokkurin sum frálíður ikki burtur, so endurtekur heimastýris búskaparkreppan seg, áðrenn vit varnast.
All parties are "agreed" that the bloc should be reduced; some say this because it damages society, others because the Danes should not have to pay for us.
BLARK_translated
Allir flokkar eru "samdir" um at blokkurin skal minkast, summi siga tí at hann spillur samfelagið, onnur tí at danir ikki skulu gjalda fyri okkum.
In addition to the block, the “state expenditures” are around 400 million, and with the dissolution, we must pay for these services, or they will have to be cut.
BLARK_translated
Umframt blokkin eru "ríkisútreiðslurnar" umleið 400 mio, og við loysing, so skulu vit gjalda fyri hesar tænastur, ella skulu tær skerðast burtur.
The question is this: how do we increase exports so that the block (and so on) can be phased out?
BLARK_translated
Spurningurin er so, hvussu økja vit útflutningin soleiðis at blokkurin v.m. kan avtakast?
You must understand that Borghild and the other extreme sovereigntists do not mean it ironically, because sovereignty is the most important thing, and then schooling, health and democracy come second.
BLARK_translated
Tú mást skilja, at Borghild og hini ekstremu fullveldisfólkini ikki meina tað ironiskt, tí fullveldið er viktigast, og so kemur skúling, heilsa og demokrati í aðru røð.
This couldn't be left standing, because there was no name, so I'll repeat it:
BLARK_translated
Hetta slapp ikki at standa, tí einki navn var, so eg endurtaki tað:
The Olsen gang has put the final stitch in the independence garment. The negotiations on June 15 are canceled.
BLARK_translated
Olsen beiggarinr hava sett síðsta seymin í fullveldislíkkistuna. Samráðingarnar 15. juni eru avlýstar.
One example is that the Faroese want to take over the maritime authority, not for national reasons or anything like that, but because the Danish maritime authority is so strict. When one is now going to take over the legal system, it should not be on the grounds that the Danish Supreme Court is so strict.
BLARK_translated
Eitt dømi er at føroyingar vilja yvirtaka skipasýnið, ikki av nationalum orsøkum ella nakað líknandi, men tí at tað danska skipasýnið er so strangt? Tá ein nú skal yvirtaka rættarskipanina so skal tað ikki verða við tí grundgeving at danski hægstirættur er so strangur.
The Social Democratic Party wants a new arrangement in which it is established by an international law treaty between the Faroe Islands and Denmark:
BLARK_translated
Javnaðarflokkurin ynskir eina nýggja skipan, har tað við altjóðarættarligum sáttmála millum Føroyar og Danmark verður staðfest:
that it is the Faroese Parliament, which as the representative of the Faroese people, that is the supreme authority over all those areas that have been transferred.
BLARK_translated
at tað er Føroya Løgting, sum umboð fyri Føroya fólk, sum er evsta vald á øllum teimum málsøkjum, sum eru yvirtikin.
that there is no restriction on which languages and language areas may come under Faroese rule.
BLARK_translated
at eingin avmarking er fyri, hvørji mál og málsøki kunnu koma undir føroyskt ræði.
The national assembly demands that the Faroe Islands become an independent nation in an international legal partnership with Denmark.
BLARK_translated
Landsfundurin krevur, at Føroyar gerast sjálvstøðug tjóð í einum altjóðarrættarligum felagsskapi við Danmark.
This is exactly what the coalition works for and this is exactly what the Social Democrats' national congress works for.
BLARK_translated
Hetta er júst tað samgongan virkar fyri og hetta er júst tað landsfundur javnaðarmanna virkar fyri.
But the rigid, neo-conservative leadership even acts AGAINST its own party.
BLARK_translated
Men stívrenda, nýkonservativa leiðslan virkar sjálvt ÍMÓTI sínum egna flokki.
I expect that people will be less sick in the sovereign Faroe Islands. The good weather that will then be is, after all, healthy.
BLARK_translated
Eg rokni við at fólk fara at vera minni sjúk í fullveldinum Føroyar. Góða veðrið sum tá verður er jú heilsugott.
Maybe people will be so happy when we get full sovereignty that the judiciary will become unnecessary.
BLARK_translated
Kanska verða fólk so glað tá vit fáa fullveldið at óneyðugt verður við dómsvaldið.
And if the people choose full independence, it is because they are so clever and don't need schools.
BLARK_translated
Og um fólkið velur fullveldið er tað tí tey eru so klók og hava ikki brúk fyri skúla.
Since the block came, Faroese people have only gone to school and everything has gone downhill since then. The block must go. We must have people who know how to manage our resources, fish, sheep (the wool), cattle and oil. We Faroese can do that and not foreigners, foreign money and foreign schools. Don’t be afraid. W...

Síðan blokkurin kom hava føroyingar bara gingið í skúla og alt hevur gingið niður á bakka síðani. Blokkurn skal burtur.

Vit du...
The school system must be shaped and adapted to Faroese conditions. We have seen signs. We know how to manage our resources, fish, sheep, cattle and oil. And that adaptation can only be done by us Faroese and not by foreigners.
BLARK_translated
Skúlagongdin má tálmast og tillaðast eftir føroyskum viðurskiftum. Vit hava sæð skili. Vit duga at hagræða okkra tilfeingi, fisk, seyð, neyt og oljuna. Og tillaðingina kunnu bert vit føroyingar gera og ikki útlendingar.
We should govern ourselves well, so we don't need the supreme court.
BLARK_translated
Vit áttu at skikka okkum væl, so vit behøvast ikki hægsta rætt.
In the field above you must enter both the name and the village or town (e.g. Jákup Olsen, Runavík).
BLARK_translated
Í teiginum omanfyri skal bæði standa navn og bygd ella býur (t.d. Jákup Olsen, Runavík).
Under the letter should be the e-mail address of the person who writes.
BLARK_translated
Undir brævinum skal standa e-post adressa hjá tí, sum skrivar.
The requirement for a residence and e-mail address will be imposed so that the government can ensure that it is not a false name.
BLARK_translated
Kravið um bústað og e-post adressu verður sett fyri at landsstýrið kann tryggja sær, at talan ikki er um falskt navn.
The email address will nevertheless be deleted before the letters are made public.
BLARK_translated
E-post adressan verður kortini strikað áðrenn brøvini verða almannakunngjørd.
Letters that meet the conditions are posted at least once a day.
BLARK_translated
Brøv, sum lúka treytirnar, verða løgd út minst eina ferð dagin.
I feel just as much like a real leader as you do!
BLARK_translated
Eg kenni eins nógv sum ein rættan føring sum tú!
We have a different understanding of the relationship with Denmark. You must respect that.
BLARK_translated
Vit hava ymiska fatan av felagsskapinum við Danmark. Tað mást tú respektera.
I did, however, listen to arguments, but not such romantically confused nonsense.
BLARK_translated
Eg lurti tó eftir argumentum, men ikki slíkum romantiskum forvirraðum tvassi.
Wake up now. There is nothing to fear. Show yourselves as true Faroese. Vote yes for sovereignty.

Vaknið nú. Tað er einki at ræðast. Vísi tykkum sum rættir føroyingar. Atkvøðið ja fyri fullveldinum.
I agree with you when you say "we do love to compare ourselves with everyone possible." Helena Dam á Neystabø also compares us to others. She says this on Tíðindi.

Eg eri samd við tær, tá tú sigur "vit elska jú at samanbera okkum við øll møgulig". Eisini Helena Dam á Neystabø samanber okkum við onnur. Hon sigur undir Tíðindi
Today one knows of 3 examples of sovereign states that are connected to another state by an associated-state relationship. These are the Pacific states the Marshall Islands, Palau and the Federated States of Micronesia, which all have such an arrangement with the USA.
BLARK_translated
Man kender i dag 3 eksempler på suveræne stater, der er forbundet med en anden stat ved en associeret statsforbindelse. Disse er stillehavsstaterne Marshall-øerne, Palau og Den Føderale Republik Mikronesien, der alle har en sådan ordning med USA.
I say what you say: One solves/principles are solved per principle! So what does Helena mean by that?
BLARK_translated
Eg sigi sum tú: Man loysir pr. principp! So hvat man Helena meina við?
Oh, oh, what do you mean by that and then what happens afterwards?
BLARK_translated
Á, Á, hvat meinar tú við og so orðnar man hitt aftaná?
We have nothing to do afterwards. We own a beautiful country, clean water, fish, sheep and oil.
BLARK_translated
Vit nýtast einki at gera aftaná. Vit eiga eitt vakurt land, reint vatn, fisk, seyð og olju.
Yes, now that red passports are being issued to us by the Danish authorities in the Faroe Islands, we are probably Danes on the inside. Not so bad after all to have a passport issued. Become like a colonial power that rules.
BLARK_translated
Ja, tá tað nú eru reyð pass vit fáa útflýggjað frá Danska yvirvaldinum í Føroyum, so eru vit nokk danir innaní. Ikki so galið hóast alt at fáa útflýggjað pass. Vorðið sum kolonivald sum valdar
Thanks must be given now. If the Faroe Islands gain full independence, there won’t be much left to say thanks for!
BLARK_translated
Tað má takkast nú. Fáa Føroyar fullveldi, verður ikki nógv at siga tøkk fyri!
One thing I must say is that Hanna is very good at thanking people!
BLARK_translated
Eitt má man siga, og tað er, at Hanna dugir væl at takka fyri!
She has nothing but to thank Demos for a good discussion; as far as I know they are hardly finished yet. But thanks for your posts.
BLARK_translated
Hon hevur ikki annað enn takka Demos fyri eitt gott kjak, mær vitandi eru tey neyvan liðug enn. Men takk fyri tíni innlegg.
I will agree with you that being “Deprived of legal capacity in personal/property law respects” is not something that is acceptable for an adult. We must get our coalition parties to understand that they must “sweep here at home first,” and not what they are currently doing — “sweeping first in Denmark.”
BLARK_translated
Eg vil geva tær rætt í, at vera "Umyndiggjort i personlig/formueretlig henseende" er ikki nakað, ið er haldbart fyri eitt vaksi fólk. Vit mugu fáa okkara samgonguflokkar at skilja, at teir í fyrstu atløgu mugu "feia fyrst her heima hjá okkum", og ikki tað, sum teir júst gera "feia fyrst í Danmark".
have they (the government) oppressed Danes, it was not us, it was

Regarding recognition as a nation. Why does it say in the Home Rule Act that the Danish language shall be taught well and respectfully, but NOT that the Faroese language shall be taught well and respectfully?
BLARK_translated
Viðvíkjandi viðurkenning sum tjóð. Hví stendur tað í heimastýrislógini, at danskt mál skal lærast væl og virðiliga, men IKKI, at føroyskt mál skal lærast væl og virðiliga?
I have come back to the words several times: "Recognition as a nation and people." I have difficulty understanding the meaning of these words — and without thinking more about it — I have taken these words to mean a kind of "compromise of exclusion" — but now you say something similar, among other things: "I believe it...

Eg eri komin fleiri ferðir á orðini: "Viðurkenning sum tjóð og fólk". Eg havi ilt við skilja meiningina við hesum orðum - og uttan at hugsa nærri um hetta - havi eg tikið hesi orð fyri eitt slag av "undanlutakenslu" - men nú sigur tú nakað tað sama, m.a.: "Eg haldi tað vera altumráðandi, at føroyingar fáa eina avtalu v...

Vilt tú greiða mær nærri frá um meiningina við hesum setingini? og um hvørjar fyrimunir og vansar eru av hesum eftir tínum tykki?
Otherwise I think it's good that we can argue/discuss calmly and reasonably, even though we are not so politically in agreement on everything.

Sami Strøm also revealed the enormous increase in public salaries when the People's Party and the Union Party were in government together last time, May 1996–April 1998. 600 employees in public and health affairs.

Is it really just a sensible Social Democrat left (Mørkøre). Because it can hardly be so bad that all Social Democrats are as united as it sounds — you should read the article by Tóra Hjørleifsdóttir about why "HE always has a grudge". Very good article.

Otherwise I have to ask: have you never heard independent people argue against independence by saying it will ruin a particular government minister’s family? That can only be a lack of sound reasoning for being against independence. No, the truth is that if you are not willing to work you should vote no; if you want ot...

I didn't say that Ejdesgaard had DONE anything for pensioners and the elderly — but that he just talks and thinks and thinks and talks, because poverty and hardship are fuel for the Social Democratic Party like gasoline for a car engine.
BLARK_translated
Eg segði ikki, at Ejdesgaard hevði GJØRT nakað fyri pensjónistar og tey gomlu - men at hann bara tosar og hugsar og hugsar og tosar, tí armóð og neyðarstøða eru hjá javnaðarflokkinum sum bensin hjá einum bilmotori.
This must be the first time a people are fighting for freedom with "rem and seler". Elsewhere one frees oneself in principle and then you become that afterwards. And we do love to compare ourselves to all kinds of people.

It is not strange if Eidesgaard seems heavy-hearted. He carries all the burdens of the world on his back.

If we did not have Eidesgaa...

In my opinion the politics of the coalition parties is completely childish; I have no words for this reality. I see “politics” like this — to take one example: “Hanna moves out from her mother.

Eftir mínum tykki er politikkur samgonguflokkanna púra barnsligur, at eg havi ikki orð fyri hesum veruleika. Eg síggi "politikkin" soleiðis - fyri at taka eitt dømi: "Hanna flytir frá mammu síni. Hanna sigur, at mamma skal gjalda mær eina "skiftisskipan" í 15 ár. Mamman heldur, at 3-4 ár eru nóg mikið, tí Hanna eigur n...
“The Faroe Islands have one of the highest standards of living in the world, so the country isn’t in squalor,” you say. Dear Demos, you are young and healthy, but if it were so that illness/disability were to strike you, you would see a different world, and would not think about material things at all, but about human ...
BLARK_translated
Føroyar hevur ein av heimsins hægstu livistandardum, so landið liggur ikki í sori" sigur tú. Góði Demos, tú ert ungur og raskur, men um so er, at sjúka/avlammi skuldi ráma teg, hevði tú sæð eina aðra verð, og als ikki hugsa um materiell ting, men um menniskjansligan rætt.
That we have lived well is not any argument,” you say. I have never had “identity problems” from being Faroese, despite our being in a realm with Denmark and Greenland, and I have not had any feeling of being “a slave of the Danes,” on the contrary. On the contrary, I have received good medical treatment and education ...

At vit hava livað gott, er ikki nakað argument" sigur tú. Eg havi so ongantíð havt "identitets trupulleikar" av, at vera føroyingur, hóast vit eru í ríkisfelagsskapi við Danmark og Grønlandi, og eg havi als ikki havt kenslu av, at vera "Ein trælur hjá dønum", tvørturímóti. Eg havi harafturímóti fingið góða sjúkraviðger...
Dear Demos. Can you come up with a good argument for: What will be better in the Faroe Islands after independence?
BLARK_translated
Góði Demos. Kanst tú koma við einum góðum argumenti fyri: Hvat verður betri á Føroya landi eftir fullveldi?
Justifications are nothing in themselves. It seems that people only justify things when they don’t know how something actually is. I could have justified for years that when independence becomes reality, people will automatically act as educated — to develop and maintain the country. But as it stands now, I don’t know ...
BLARK_translated
Grundgevingar eru onki í sær sjálvum. Tað tykist, sum grundgeva fólk bert, tá tey ikki vita, hvussu nakað í roynd og veru er. Eg kundi grundgivið í fleiri ár fyri, at tá fullveldi gerst veruleiki, so fer fólkið automatiskt at virka alt tey eru ment, fyri at menna og halda landinum uppi. Men sum nú er, veit eg tað ikki,...
I understand well why no justification is given. After all, one is not going to justify something that has no basis. With respect, Siegfried.
BLARK_translated
Eg skilji væl, hví ongin grundgeving verður givin. Ein fer jú ikki at grundgeva nøkrum, sum onki grundarlag hevur. Við virðing. Siegfried.
That means that by going one year further back in time, the average for all those years increases by a full 3.8%. If this is correct, the Faroe Islands have in that one year experienced economic growth of no less than 28.8%.
BLARK_translated
Tað vil siga, at við at fara eitt ár longur aftur í tíðina, økist miðaltalið fyri øll hesi árini heili 3,8%. Um hetta passar, so hava Føroyar hetta eina árið havt ein búskaparvøkstur uppá ikki minni enn 28,8%.
This must be a new world record — if we're to believe that.
BLARK_translated
Hetta má vera nýtt heimsmet - um vit skulu trúgva tí.
Yes Hanna, you are right that we were to blame for the crisis, but we were not guilty; read "The Myth of the Realm Community"!
BLARK_translated
Ja Hanna tú hevur rætt í, at vit høvdu skuldina av kreppuni, men skyldina høvdu vit ikki, les "Mýten om rigsfælleskapet"!
What do you mean when you say the Faroe Islands are in the shell rubbish?
BLARK_translated
Hvat meinar tú við tá tú sigur Føroya land er í skelja sorlið?
A good argument for full independence must be that we will come to control our own economy.
BLARK_translated
Eitt gott argument fyri fullveldi má verða, at vit koma at ráða yvir okkara egna búskapið.
Why should the Danes rule the Faroe Islands? We have lived well on Faroese soil for at least 52 years in a union with Denmark and Greenland, aside from the crisis for which only we ourselves (the Faroese) were to blame.
BLARK_translated
Hví danir skulu ráða í Føroyum? Vit hava livað gott á Føroya landi í minst 52 ár í ríkisfelagsskapi við Danmark og Grønlandi, burtursæð frá kreppuni, ið einans vit sjálvi (føroyingar) høvdu skuldina av.

Why on earth has the incumbent government increased state spending during this election period, when in their view the state budget only causes harm?
BLARK_translated
Hví í allari víðu verð hevur sitandi samgonga økt um ríkisveitingina í hesum valskeiði, tá ríkisveitingin eftir teirra tykki bert ger ilt?
But a little can still be gained back. The government must give up its arrogance and let others who have an overview and are realists move forward and get the relations with Denmark back in order — in a modernized form. The Social Democratic Party can arrange this!
BLARK_translated
Men enn kann eitt sindur vinnast aftur. Landsstýrið má geva skarvin yvir og lata aðrar sum hava yvirblikk og eru realistar sleppa framat og fáa viðurskiftini við Danmark aftur uppá pláss-í einum dagførdum líki. Hetta kann javnaðarflokkurin orna!
A handover from Jenis doesn't create any sovereignty. Let the Centre Party and Jenis sail their own course.

Hond-á-legging frá Jenis skapar onki fullveldi. Lat Miðflokkin og Jenis sigla sín egna sjógv.
The government is squabbling over surpluses and the ambulances are in a mess. Something about it isn’t functioning properly.

Landsstýrið reypar av yvirskotum og sjúkrabilarninr eru í sori. Har er okkurt, sum ikki ruggar rætt.
And the vast majority of travelers are like that, that they travel around and collect countries (like stamps or similar). So long as the Faroe Islands are not a sovereign state, it is not at all necessary for them to come this way (it's enough to be in Denmark, and then one has been in the Faroes as well).
BLARK_translated
Og nógv flest ferðafólk eru uppá tann mátan, at tey ferðast runt og samla lond (sum frímerkir ella tílíkt). So leingi sum Føroyar ikki eru ein suverenur statur, so er tað als ikki neyðugt hjá teimum at koma hendavegin (nóg mikið at vera í Danmørk, so hevur man verið í Føroyum eisini).
A country like San Marino (much smaller than the Faroe Islands, 25,000 inhabitants) has 3,000,000 tourists a year. And this is not some nation with its own language and culture, just a poor Italian-speaking town that somehow has sovereignty. They have nothing to offer tourists, only a castle. Why do they have so many t...

When the Faroe Islands become free, the Faroese will get a terribly large advertisement in the world. The Faroe Islands often appear in foreign media in various contexts.

Ole Krarup otherwise has a sensible/good article in Ekstra Bladet today. He compares the position of the Faroe Islands in the Danish realm with Denmark’s position in the EEC.
