I hear they are planning* putting access barriers on the slip roads to the M50 and charging parking rates.

(*obviously not as there are no car-valet areas.)

Lol maybe Heather Humphries wouldn't be having such a nightmare election campaign if she hired Paul Murphy as her campaign manager instead of being so weird about him

And, yes, wildlife, we need to stop washing nitrate + phosphate into a river where salmon are perilously close to becoming locally extinct.

The onus for stopping a genocide is on the party committing the genocide. The onus is not on the victims of the genocide to end it by meeting certain conditions. This should not even need to be said.

TBQH, while I’m delighted, I’m not the least bit surprised. Catherine has compassion and charisma, a gentle determination that we recognise and reflects the best of us, of who we are and who we aspire to be.
The other candidate does not and represents decades of failing governance.

Aftonbladet's interview with Greta Thunberg is now available in English - it raises many serious questions, not least about the Swedish govt. effectively abandoning its citizens to torture because it doesn't agree with their politics. A thundering disgrace.

Every f'n president in the US, no matter which party they represent, has funded IsraHell for DECADES.
The last two happily sponsored a genocide by pouring billions of dollars + weapons into IDF. Both Biden and Trump did that. Lets not try whitewash history again.

Cooperative housing in Switzerland, fabulous 3-4 bedroom duplex family apartments 110 square metres, €2,500/ month

.. & we’re told that small 2-bed apartments at 45 square metres with €2,500 rent aren’t “viable”

.. it’s developer procurement that isn’t viable, not affordable housing

As its likely EU will continue to trade with the Zionist regime, the least we should do is extract a substantial tax for the rebuilding of Palestine, from goods, services and individuals.
