WorldbyStorm - 11:24 Fri Jul 20, 2018 Reading this it struck me that it was curious how immigration related issues have tripped up Trump, and before him May (Windrush) and of course Merkel, but then, the thought struck me that immigration has an almost absurd emphasis in the current political environment, that in a way it?s no surprise that it should – […]A
WorldbyStorm - 08:31 Fri Jul 20, 2018 Anyone know much about caucuses within the DSA? According to wiki there are the following ones: …views are represented in different working groups and caucuses within the DSA including the Communist Caucus, the Refoundation Caucus and the Libertarian Socialist Caucus. Anyone have any contact with or experiences of the DSA?A
WorldbyStorm - 21:07 Thu Jul 19, 2018 Here’s something that really surprised me, though on reflection why should it? British Prime Minister Theresa May has made her first visit to the Irish border since the Brexit referendum. A better illustration of just how high it sits on her list of priorities would be difficult to think of.A
WorldbyStorm - 12:08 Thu Jul 19, 2018 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.

An Economic and Social Research Institute (ESRI) analysis of how more than 9,000 children adjusted to primary school finds evidence […]A
WorldbyStorm - 11:23 Thu Jul 19, 2018 Rereading a post I did in 2007 I came across this line? There are a number of issues which the book glides over. It?s not entirely clear that the issue of political violence is dealt with comprehensively enough ? or the contradictions between the aspirational and the achievable in real terms (for example one of […]A
WorldbyStorm - 03:47 Thu Jul 19, 2018 This was mentioned in the last day or two but it really is worth consideration in light of the incredibly chaotic political events in the UK at the moment. The BLP has seen a significant lead open up ahead of the Tory party this last week or so. It’s not so much that the BLP […]A

WorldbyStorm - 12:01 Wed Jul 18, 2018 Talking with a friend the last week or so we were running through combinations of outcomes for the next election. Both of us tended to the view FG and FF and SF would win seats, both of us think that Others and Independents including small parties could be beaten back to 15 or so TDs […]A
WorldbyStorm - 11:23 Wed Jul 18, 2018 I was thinking about how the histories of the most recent referendums will be written in future and that in some ways they were much more joyous than might have been expected. In part that was because the doors that had so long been barred were more than half open, the reception that little bit […]A |
