The title of this blog comes from a Gaelic expression -"putting on the poor mouth"-which means to exaggerate the direness of one's situation in order to gain time or favour from creditors.

Signs of protest - Expatriates
Buzzfeed has a selection of Libyan protest signs both from within Libya and from expatriates around the world. Here are some from the US and UK expatriates. It is good to see Beavis return on the side of the Libyan protestors....
GREAT signs. And I'm with you Jams. I dislike fundamentalism/extremists; mostl Muslims AREN'T fundamentalists, despite what people seem to believe these days. Ditto with Christians, Jews... hmm, don't know about Scientologists. I think they are fundamentally fundamentalist. :) Anyway, the girl in the first pic is adorable.
Fanatics of whatever religious stripe are hard for me to take. Qaddafi is not one of them, though: he's just a power-mad, unspeakably violent bastid who IMHO cannot be deposed soon enough.
I am happy to note that the U.S. is for the most part trying not to intervene. That would have the worst possible consequences.
In this case I agre Steve. Ghddafi is a power mad scumbag. The last thng Libya needs now is western intervention. It s their revolution. They need to play it out. The West then needs to build bridges after so much support for Moomar
