WorldbyStorm - 10:37 Wed Jan 21, 2026 Was struck by a podcast on the Irish Times with Cliff Taylor where he talked about how a US annexation of Greenland would be disastrous for Ireland. It’s odd though. His view is focused on tariffs rather than what it would mean more broadly. The potential consequences are serious. It is inconceivable that the EU … Continue reading "Greenland and Ireland"
WorldbyStorm - 10:36 Wed Jan 21, 2026 First Greenland, now Chagos: US-UK relationship hits bump as Trump scoffs at ally Starmer Not an ally.

Creating these non-consensual images was possible because the Grok AI product … Continue reading "Freedom of speech absolutist"
guestposter - 10:28 Tue Jan 20, 2026 With all else on, only just getting to grips with this. The National Committee for the Administration of Gaza (NCAG) (Arabic: ?????? ??????? ?????? ???)[1] is an interim government set up to manage day-to-day operations of the civil service and administration in the Gaza Strip in the aftermath of the Gaza war and its related peace plan. It consists of a 15-person committee of politically independent Palestinian technocrats that … Continue reading "Beyond awful."
WorldbyStorm - 09:23 Tue Jan 20, 2026 Have mentioned previously how easily people suggest a party should ‘merge’ with another, and how difficult that usually is in practice. And here’s another example: ?The party is like an ailing football club which is constantly changing managers,? says writer and former BBC Northern Ireland political correspondent Stephen Walker. ?You are judged by results, and … Continue reading "Calls for the UUP to merge with the DUP" |
