A lot of people do not realize how violent the UAE is. Part of the reason is the mainstream media calls the conflict in Sudan a “civil war” without mentioning UAE’s interest in the destruction. Part of the reason is their effective sports-washing.

Ireland is adopting a default 30 kmh (19 mph) speed limit in urban areas.
Local authorities to implement 30km/h speed limits in urban areas ‘where appropriate’ from 2027
Speed limits on roads in built-up and urban areas can only be changed where a majority of the elected members in a local authority vote to do so.
