WorldbyStorm - 10:24 Sat Jan 25, 2020 I don?t know if I agree with the following, from the Guardian about ?meat-free? foods. But it also highlights a strange paradox underpinning the centuries-long pursuit of the perfect meat proxy: by trying to seamlessly remove meat from our diets, we are actually reinforcing its importance. ?There?s this kind of association of meat and the […]A

WorldbyStorm - 11:34 Fri Jan 24, 2020 Gewerkschaftler suggested this recently: I suggest this blog should have a regular (weekly) slot where people can post happenings at the personal or political level that gives them hope that we?re perhaps not going to hell in a handbasket as quickly as we thought. Or as the phlegmatic Germans put it ?hope dies last?. Any […]A
WorldbyStorm - 11:03 Fri Jan 24, 2020 I watched the ?great? debate between Martin and Varadkar today. If you missed it you too can watch it here. I thought it pretty anodyne.

WorldbyStorm - 10:01 Fri Jan 24, 2020 Have to agree with Newton Emerson for once. He writes that: https://www.irishtimes.com/opinion/newton-emerson-ru...

And for all the wailing and gnashing of teeth from some quarters […]A
WorldbyStorm - 08:04 Fri Jan 24, 2020 Interesting to see the PBP general election manifesto launch. Who was that figure on the left hand side of the table as seen by viewers? Why none other than Paul Murphy of RISE. I have wondered if RISE might have been better to lash up directly with PBP – as an element of same, albeit […]A
WorldbyStorm - 11:25 Thu Jan 23, 2020 Perhaps not enough consideration of a very curious finding in the IT polls this week. Asked which issues would have the most influence on their vote, 40 per cent of voters said health was their most important issue, while 32 per cent said housing. These two issues vastly exceed the importance voters attach to the […]A
WorldbyStorm - 10:26 Thu Jan 23, 2020 Here?s something I wasn?t fully aware of, having read about it a while back but not really delved into. A letter in the IT notes: With all the electioneering attention around the changes to the age of retirement, nothing is being said about the proposed changes to the calculation of the pension payments to the […]A |
