WorldbyStorm - 11:25 Fri Jan 17, 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 - 10:40 Fri Jan 17, 2020 This seems like sound advice: Political parties must quickly act against candidates who make anti-immigrant remarks to win publicity and and votes during the general election campaign, the Immigrant Council of Ireland has declared.

WorldbyStorm - 11:31 Thu Jan 16, 2020 So, how will they fare? According to all of us here, not as badly as some have predicted in the last few years. No doubt part of that is incumbency. I mentioned I did a quick tot-up prior to Christmas of how many I thought might make it back and came to the conclusion four […]A
WorldbyStorm - 11:02 Thu Jan 16, 2020 John Halligan, who has had a more idiosyncratic career in Irish politics than most has some entertaining quotes in the IT, not least about his fellow, former Independent Alliance colleagues. On Mr Moran?s move to run outside the Independent Alliance umbrella, Mr Halligan said he was ?very disappointed in Boxer.? ?I had spoken to Boxer […]A
WorldbyStorm - 10:03 Thu Jan 16, 2020 Yet another controversy over married clergy in the Catholic Church, where former Pope Benedict is apparently and rather ironically given his own adherence to not tolerating criticism of the papacy, intervening on behalf of ?mandatory celibacy? at a time when the RCC appears to be ever so slowly shifting away from it. Reading this I?m […]A
WorldbyStorm - 07:02 Thu Jan 16, 2020 I read this and I wonder. 2 hours ago Another confident prediction.
