Little wonder that people lose any faith or enthusiasm for politics and politicians

You simply cannot legitimately re-write our Dublin or our Irish history to suit political objectives

A disreputable proposal!!

There should be no let-up in the ICC’s pursuit of all those believed to be responsible for

Anyone who thinks that this issue is not going to get more severe is deluding themselves

The failure to tackle climate change is actually adding to migration and will continue to do so

I know that’s how it should work but regrettably most western governments are sliding to the right, which means more authoritarian stance in a vain attempt to- ironically- prevent right wing parties gaining power

But yes the Trump administration is shockingly bad

Governments don’t represent people- they control them

Yet another disgusting example of an uncaring and condescending government in action

Unfortunately America is not alone in this kind of social control

Once again principles - that of the right to be judged by one’s peers- dropped at the altar of a screwed up tax system and trickle UP economics

Agree. But just look at US attempts to enable Russia add an amnesty clause to the 28 point peace plan - since removed by Europe I believe

Imagine a world where leaders can commit any crime and then simply ensure they get an amnesty built into the negotiations for settlement

No thanks!!

Sometimes it is hard to shake the feeling that sine news reports seem very keen to offer reassurance, even when that is premature

Let’s just wait for the facts to emerge @bbc.com please

What “hopeful mood”

The plan was flawed from the very start and slanted almost entirely in Russias favour ?

Don’t understand this headline at all

Trumps plan doesn’t just leave Ukraine vulnerable something that is surely unacceptable- it leaves the rest of Europe vulnerable

Is that his plan?
