💩 Response to King Donald shitting on Americans.

When you realize that Trump works for Putin and not for America, everything he does makes perfect sense.

The European Union has 24 official languages, which reflect its cultural diversity.
US 1 (English), China 1 (Mandarin) , Russia 1 (Russian), India 2 (Hindi & English). Correlation does not imply causation but authoritarianism suppresses minorities.

A commitment to extend voting rights in Irish presidential elections was in the 2020 programme for government but it has been dropped. In another country, this would be at least as topical during the election campaign as is the nominations requirement to be a contestant.

Thanks Niamh. I have contacted POV. I seem to remember a similar programme over 20 years ago in relation to SARS. It created a great demand for Tamiflu.

I did enjoy the programme and regard such programmes a major contribution to the public good.
