With her merciless slaying of the Freedom of Speech Act, Bridget Phillipson has shown herself to be a far more brutal political combatant than the enfeebled Tories. If you want to win the culture war, this is how to do it.

The Brazilians who live in Gort may not realise that the word "Brazil" is an Irish word.

In ancient Irish legend Hy-Brazil was a mysterious island beyond the western horizon.

http://www.brazilbrazil.com/braznam.html

Quote:

"According to the Irish legend, Brazil was a mystical island with fabulous cities covered in gold. A real paradise. The trouble was that it was either always covered in mist or it would only appear above the waters every seven years."

I searched for it myself self but I only discovered Iceland and America.
