Northern Ireland Town Fakes Prosperity for G8 Summit

Potemkin'sche Dörfer: Leere Geschäfte gaukeln der Polit-Elite gefälligen Wohlstand mit Fotos vor. In ihrem Paralleluniversum wollen sie sich nicht von der Wirklichkeit stören lassen.

"What they’ve done is they have filled the shop front window with a picture of what was the business before it went bankrupt or closed. ... to make the place look as positive as possible for the visiting G8 leaders and their entourages".
