Exclusive Jewish sovereignty from the river to the sea is the central tenet of Revisionist Zionism. 000

Chris Connolly @edtechris.bsky.social · 28/07/2026It’s not a taboo word but still funny that the Irish for “rat” is “francach”, literally “French/Frankish”, a contraction of “luch fhrancach”, “French mouse”, francach being a word in medieval Irish that implied something exotic or large. 020

Chris Connolly @edtechris.bsky.social · 28/07/2026It's a pretty dishonest representation of the metrics, in which licence tenure, motoring offences per capita, worry about theft of car. LTNs and cameras make a place "less drivable" in the report, not more, but they only account for a small % of the overall score. 000
