Britain's new Foreign Secretary, David Lammy, is on record calling Donald Trump "a racist KKK and Nazi sympathiser" and has refused to apologise. This is clearly going to be a problem, says Peter Harris.

Headlines earlier this year proclaimed that catching Covid may knock up to 6 points off your IQ. A new study punctures this claim: there was no decline in cognitive test scores after Covid infection.

The BBC has ?fact-checked? Labour's claim that a unit of power from a new solar or wind project is cheaper than the cost from a new gas generator and found it to be true. But it's false, says Paul Homewood.

Jump To Comment: 1 2 3Looks like a lot of nimbys trying to stop every piece of development proposed for "down the country". Considering that the entire rural economy is based on state subsidies eg social welfare, single farm payments, tiny income tax payments (avg €1900 in 2700), green diesel etc etc. When Ireland sinks into bankruptcy in the next eighteen months the rural "community" can expect to lose most off these handouts. I think our nimby friends will be a good bit keener on such development when their hand out gravy train leaves the station..
Like the frog in the pot of water, you're being boiled and when you realise it it'll be too late. You're stuck in the old Jackeen - Redneck paradigm. I'm the in suburbs with a mast facing the front of my house. What does that make me? A-Not-In-My-Front-Yard (Nimfy)? Our country cousins not only know nature, it is part of their being and they're giving the rest of us a heads-up. Part of the learning process is denial and attack. You're learning, just keep going. Google Tetra, Dr. George Carlo, Prof. Olle Johansson or websites like Revolt, Wired Child and Mast Sanity. Unless your salary comes from one of the mast operators and if you do a little research, there's still hope for you.
Why do you think they're using Czechs and Poles to install the masts, etc. They don't communicate with the rest of the population and when they get sick, they'll just go home.
Who would've benefitted if they had been allowed to mine the supposed gold under Croagh Patrick? The country people have more sense and insight than they're credited with...

I don't know where you get the idea that country people 'know' the country any more than townies. The farmers among them know how to raise cows and grow 4 or 5 crops but that is a long way from having anything to do with nature. Most of them at this stage would not recognize the sound a corn crake makes as none have been heard for years in the Irish country side as agriculture has abolished their living space. Farmers have persecuted badgers for decades based on the misunderstanding that they spread tuberculosis in cows (eh, cows spread it). Same goes for foxes who are now probably as numerous in built up areas as in the countryside. I remember accompanying a group of countrymen (i grew up among them) cross country to attend a mart years ago and, on seeing a fox, the trip was abandoned in favour of digging out and slaughtering the animal. Not uncommonly among country folk they had an entirely antagonistic attitude to nature.
