“People have said to me, if I wasn’t going to sing ‘Immigrant Song,’ full belt, then actually I was no longer a man."

—Robert Plant, Entertainment Weekly, 15 November 2021

No high-pitched, battle-cry belting, still a man.

King Frederik 10 has given his first speech to the people.

It happened from the balcony of Christiansborg Castle to great cheers from the many thousands of Danes.

- She will always be remembered as an extraordinary regent, he said of his mother.

- My hope is to become a gathering king of tomorrow. It's a task I've approached all my life. It's a task I've taken on with pride, respect and joy.

The king's motto is 'Forbundne, forpligtet, for kongeriget Danmark'.

My analysis of Greenland from a Norwegian perspective

I read Sermitsiaq's websites roughly monthly without needing translator tools, and have watched Danmark Radio's splendid documentary series Historien om Grønland og Danmark.

From my understanding, Greenland has never truly felt okay with Denmark. Until circa 1940, all trade with other nations was banned (and even then it only became allowed due to Greenland being in the Allies and cut off from Denmark); and at least 6 different approaches for Greenlandic society has been tried out (ranging from enforcing old hunting techniques, to building reasonably good apartment blocks with TVs, then-modern stoves, and everything).

However, and this is a very big however: Greenland's goal is independence. Not to become colonised by a second nation.

Pretty much the only thing left that hampers Greenlandic independence is that their land-based infrastructure is non-existent. There are no proper roads between any towns. A dirt trail between the old Kangerlussuaq airport and the town of Sisimiut was purportedly opened a year or 2 ago, but would be very impractical at best to carry large supplies through.

Greenland probably also needs a strategy for currency; they can't readily change to the Euro. Or at least I don't think they can. They also never really got momentum going with building a proper football stadium for CONCACAF; and they only have 1 proper locally based TV station, 1 newspaper, and AFAIK 1 radio station, partially owing to their not particularly large population (Digital TV is widespread, but a majority of those channels are Danish).

Their amounts of land-based farming is also not much to write home about, so outsiders' eyebrows will be raised even higher than before about whale hunting until they get better access to e.g. grains without import costs.

Were you shocked and surprised at Denmark having a children's TV character with a long, flexible penis? Were you horrified when he did everyday chores with it?

Boy has Denmark got news for you! We proudly present: Uncle Shrimp gets knocked up on kid's mainstream television! Aka Mpreg in prime time!

Fun times!

Jens Fink-Jensen was part of the ‘80s generation of Danish poets, nourished under the wing of Poul Borum, the then editor of Hvedekorn. Fink-Jensen has moved on to travel and photo books, and an active career on the library lecture circuit where he presents a multimedia show with self-composed music and effects. He is also a trained architect and multimedia designer and has worked for radio for a number of years.

But here is a typical ‘80s generation poem, featuring a hint of sex, and a lot of decay and slow apocalypse...
