WorldbyStorm - 11:47 Thu Apr 24, 2025 Trump’s cheerleaders on this island might reflect upon this: The Dublin region would be worst affected by tariffs and a trade war between the EU and US, as one in seven employees in the capital work with foreign-owned firms, Minister for Enterprise Peter Burke has said. Research conducted by his Department has shown that 14 … Continue reading "Making Ireland unemployed again…"
WorldbyStorm - 10:04 Thu Apr 24, 2025 Interesting to see another polity has had an uptick in independents. I was only vaguely aware of this, in Australia. Teal independents, simply known as teals and also called community independents, are various centrist, independent or minor party politicians in Australian politics who have been grouped together collectively for ease of discussion by the media … Continue reading "‘Teal’ independents"
WorldbyStorm - 09:42 Thu Apr 24, 2025 A really useful discussion on the BelTel podcast about a Sam McBride interview with the Taoiseach regarding the Shared Island initiative. Almost needless to say the Taoiseach was curtly dismissive of a border poll, preparations for unity and so on. Indeed, McBride makes the point that when asked about what the situation of Northern Ireland … Continue reading "Killing Irish republicanism with kindness?"
guestposter - 11:58 Wed Apr 23, 2025 In Malaga around the mid 2010s I happened to visit the Cathedral there. A very fine edifice if your interests run to such things. But most striking was a frieze or display close to the entrance which picked out key moments in the history of the Catholic Church to the present day. Now this history … Continue reading "After Francis"
WorldbyStorm - 09:57 Wed Apr 23, 2025 Well now, who would have guessed the unilateral imposition of tariffs by the United States would cause problems. Everyone. Literally everyone would have guessed that. How bad those problems might be? The International Monetary Fund has sharply cut its growth forecasts for this year because of the disruption caused by the tariffs on imports introduced … Continue reading "Economic trouble ahead: Entirely predictable except to the usual suspects"

WorldbyStorm - 10:02 Tue Apr 22, 2025 As was put to me the following headline and statement are noteworthy, but what comes next? “Europe is still a peace project. We don’t have bros or oligarchs making the rules. We don’t invade our neighbours, and we don’t punish them,” Ursula von der Leyen said in a wide-ranging interview with the Zeit newspaper. “The … Continue reading "All over bar the shouting, but what comes next?"
WorldbyStorm - 09:16 Tue Apr 22, 2025 One other thought about talking politics to people. There’s been a change. It’s not that others aren’t taking politics, or that they never have. But the sort of politics – the discourse, is at least superficially different. Driven by the pandemic and social media we see people talking politics in ways that previously were more … Continue reading "Talking Politics II"
irishonlineleftarchive - 11:12 Mon Apr 21, 2025 Good piece in the Irish Echo on the Irish Republican Digital Archive. It’s a great project and some great finds in there. As co-founder Alan Mac Fhíobhuí notes: “For example, our 1950s collection includes over 130 documents, including exceedingly rare issues of Resurgent Ulster and Glór Uladh, both edited by the Belfast republican Jimmy Steele. These … Continue reading "Irish Republican Digital Archive"
