Europe?s Days of Carbon Colonialism are Numbered Fri Sep 19, 2025 09:00 | Tilak Doshi
The delusional EU believes it can wield carbon tariffs as weapons. But its grandiloquent Net Zero scheme is destined to collapse under the weight of the bloc's utter economic irrelevance, says Tilak Doshi.

We Shouldn?t Welcome Right-Wing Cancel Culture Thu Sep 18, 2025 19:00 | Noah Carl
The Right has spent much of the last decade railing against cancel culture, and was arguably winning the debate. It would be a mistake to abandon that position now.

Majority against US Use of Shannon/ Against Bush Visit

.

***US Use of Shannon***

36% should continue
53% Shouldnt

A Huge Majority

***Majority against Bush Visit ***

50% say shouldnt Go Ahead
40% say it should.

Another Huge majority.

****Commentary****

You have to dig hard at the SBP Polls to get these figures as they cloud the issue by pushing hard at hiding it under the fact that 72% saying economy is dependent on US Goodwill. Thats US goodwill - not Bush good will btw. People can make the distinction even if SBP can't.

Why didn't they ask the simple question - do you support the US Occupation of Iraq?

Probably because it would have shown that the vast majority of the Irish Electorate are opposed to it vehemently including the Fianna Fail Grassroots which is a major reason why their support in the upcoming local/euro elections has plummeted to 32/33% range.

So all hands on deck for the Bush visit. We're the majority (here and in the World) and we have a right to make our feelings known. McDowell and his Armed Police on the street for mayday as a trial run may stop some of us but it sure as hell will not stop all of us

* Figures from SBP poll April 18th 2004
