The Met Office has proclaimed 2025 to be the hottest year ever ? by just 0.06?C, despite its weather stations having urban heat uncertainties of 1?C and more. Such a claim is utterly laughable, says Paul Homewood.

Clearly intended as a repudiation of Operation Raise the Colours, Sadiq Khan's New Year's fireworks in London lectured us on what "the real England" means. It was painfully predictable, says Clarissa Hard.

Some dismiss the current wave of nostalgia as mere rose-tinted 'shitstalgia'. But in a world that only ever seems to get worse, people are right to yearn for the simple comforts of yesteryear, says Andy Simpson.

Gold is a natural element which can only be created in Supernovae.The Irish landscape is full of gold.Gold is valued only because it is hard to find.
gold is also valued because it is very inert (doesn't corrode) ductile and highly conductive (useful for tiny wires and circuit connectors) and very malleable and pretty (great for making jewellery)
I am with you there prospecor.
Gold has an annoying tendency not to corrode in oxygen.
Tutehkamun's mask still shines brightly after thousands of years.
Lots of things are hard to find but their rarity doesn't make them valuable . Expensive perhaps , but price isn't the same thing as value . Gold has value because of the amount of labour expended in its extraction and production . The type of labour needed to produce an ounce of gold has remained fairly consistent over the years .This consistency makes gold a good measure of other values which are also measured by the amount of labour expended in their production.
There are more than 300 gold deposits in Ireland.
Don't ask a geologist where they are though.
Ask a banker.
Its not 300 gold deposits its 300 gold occurrences. These could just be low grade gold in a boulder.
its not the peoples gold. its FG gold which they will no doubt sell off along with everything else in a firesale to their capitalist friends in return for a payment into an anonymous numbered swiss bank account. Plus ca change.
