WorldbyStorm - 12:18 Mon Sep 16, 2019 Very educative Your Politics podcast on RTÉ recently which looked at electronic voting and the attempt in the early 2000s to introduce it in the Republic. As has been now well proven, such voting systems are far from impervious to manipulation. However, Edel McAllister, who was adamantly opposed to electronic voting, did raise the Scottish […]A
WorldbyStorm - 10:19 Mon Sep 16, 2019 Katy Hayward, reader in sociology in QUB and senior fellow of UK in a Changing Europe and a member of the Alternative Arrangements Advisory Group has produced this, a 16 page overview of alternative arrangements. The idea is that this provides a ?framework for analysis? but reading it one may well feel that many, many […]A

Many thanks to the person who forwarded this to the Archive. This is an excerpt from the March/April edition of Making Sense from the Workers Party.

WorldbyStorm - 12:17 Sun Sep 15, 2019 Was entertained by the reports in the news media this weekend about a close encounter with asteroid 2000 QW7. A huge asteroid up to five times as tall as Dublin’s Spire will pass by Earth tonight, scientists have said. Asteroid 2000 QW7 is between 300 and 600 metres long, according to NASA data, but it […]A
guestposter - 11:05 Sun Sep 15, 2019 Jason O’Toole in the Mirror talks to Fine Gael MEP Maria Walsh. What’s telling is how little policy appears to exercise her. The big issues of the day hardly get a mention… she’s all about walking the Camino, and making it clear she ‘went to Mass every day’ the first time she did it but […]A
guestposter - 10:15 Sun Sep 15, 2019 Helen Thomas, Tory advisor, in the IT, during the week, argues in a piece lauding Johnson?s tactical and strategic skills that: If the UK will not impose a border, then it will be up to Ireland to decide how to maintain the integrity of the single market. Rather than the Border being a weapon that […]A
WorldbyStorm - 09:26 Sun Sep 15, 2019 Read this the other day about the ?science of stroking a cat? by Lauren Finka, of Nottingham Trent University. Thought this sensible. Whether cats make good “fur babies”, then, is very debatable. Lots of cats do like being touched, but lots probably don?t ? and many tolerate it at best. Ultimately though, when it comes […]A
WorldbyStorm - 19:58 Sat Sep 14, 2019 The Dáil returns this coming week, so no better time for RedC/SBP to offer us this news fresh after the Dublin/Kerry game: FG 29% +1 FF 28% +4 IND 13% -1 SF 12% -1 GP 7% NC LP 6% +1 IND ALL 3% +1 SD 1% -1 SOL-PBP 1% -1 What to make of it? […]A
WorldbyStorm - 13:55 Sat Sep 14, 2019 Anyone in Dealz recently? I was at their Clare Hall outlet looking for baked crisps (natch!) which they didn?t have and was fairly entertained by their self-service check out tills. There?s almost no circumstances in which I?ll use them ahead of a human check out. One side of that is an aversion to seeing jobs […]A
WorldbyStorm - 12:00 Sat Sep 14, 2019 Was entertained by the Apple Event this last week. Gasp at three cameras on its flagship iPhone 11, gasp at the price of the Apple Watch, gasp at the horrible horrible ?slofies? idea (that is slow motion video clips. ? ). Some clever moves – not least their Apple TV+ television streaming network that is […]A |
