WorldbyStorm - 12:55 Fri Aug 18, 2017 It?s amazing how variable the figures for Irish exports to the UK are – figures are bandied about, not least from pro-Brexiteers keen to point up why this state should follow them out of the EU… but this from RTÉ seems reasonably solid. Commenting on today’s figures, Merrion economist Alan McQuaid said that one can […]  A
WorldbyStorm - 10:27 Fri Aug 18, 2017 Tom McGurk in the SBP was writing the week before last about Brexit and it was the usual London is terrible but we should really blame the EU stuff. Okay as far as it goes but not hugely convincing. But then he took a different turn? If Brexit crashes the already perilous state of the […]  A
irishelectionliterature - 07:47 Fri Aug 18, 2017 From 1951 ?Violence and Northern Ireland? a booklet produced by the New Ulster Movement in June 1972 From a recent protest outside the US Embassy ?Nazis? Emboldened in Trump?s America? a Leaflet from People Before Profit and ?No Trump, No KKK, No Fascist USA!? a leaflet from United Against Racism and finally ?Local Property Tax […]  A
WorldbyStorm - 12:54 Thu Aug 17, 2017 It’s perhaps a sign of the broader chaos that the passing of Kevin McNamara, former BLP spokesman on Northern Ireland, has been perhaps somewhat under remarked upon. One aspect of his career was his steadfast adherence to support for Irish unity, a long standing support from the 1960s onwards – which itself indicates a certain […]  A
WorldbyStorm - 11:50 Thu Aug 17, 2017 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 - 07:14 Thu Aug 17, 2017 …in the current edition of Hot Press, by Jason O’Toole. A lot in it but here are some examples… well worth getting to read its entirety… Social issues and conservatism? You wouldn?t see sex before marriage as a sin? Not at all! Ah, no. Don?t get this wrong. I?m very liberal on most issues. But […]  A
WorldbyStorm - 06:04 Thu Aug 17, 2017 I don?t recall this being mentioned prior to the referendum by anyone. A report by the Welsh assembly on how Brexit could affect ports in Wales says customs delays could have an unwelcome impact, while the route?s two ferry operators, which have previously remained silent on Brexit, told an assembly committee of their concerns for […]  A
WorldbyStorm - 13:35 Wed Aug 16, 2017 I?m always interested in hearing what people think might work in the future in relation to this island. What would be included, or excluded, in regard to political links and connections. A unitary state or a federal or confederal structure. Representation for unionism outside of the state, or not?  A
WorldbyStorm - 10:02 Wed Aug 16, 2017 There?s one half good point in this piece on the Google memo which has wider applicability, albeit there are many not so good points about supposed differences between women and men in working lives. I?ve been in the workplace for a bit over a quarter of a century now. I?ve never seen any evidence that […]  A |
