Or as the phlegmatic Germans put it ?hope dies last?. Any […]A

guestposter - 11:39 Sun Mar 17, 2019 Does the person writing the following actually understand politics or ideology? Consider the question in the first sentence… Starting with his glib promise, in December 2017, not to abandon Northern nationalist (abandon to what – a free health service and a ?9bn subsidy?), Leo Varadkar has infected ehe body politic with a green fever as […]A
guestposter - 09:47 Sun Mar 17, 2019 Jason O’Toole has an intriguing piece on the Bloody Sunday prosecutions here in the Mirror. And again, the point is made, ‘why did it take 47 years to get to this point?’.A
WorldbyStorm - 08:33 Sun Mar 17, 2019 Mentioned it before, mixed feelings about St. Patrick’s Day, but enjoy the weekend. Or the five day festival or whatever it now is.A

WorldbyStorm - 14:28 Sat Mar 16, 2019 I know this sounds antique, but what happened to moderation in all things? The report here about supposed new superfood ?celery juice? is depressing if only because of the mixture of fadishness, credulity and an unwillingness to engage with reality. It?s like ideas such as detoxing and so forth – all of which betray a […]A |
