I am tired of being generous.... they follow the path they have been brainwashed to think is the one of least resistance... ref all the adverts using mythical lifestyle possibilities to make people want to drive huge SUVs in cities and towns...

“This will be our sixth nitrates derogation since 2006. Every time the derogation is extended, we hear the same commitments that water quality will improve. It has yet to happen. In fact, our waterways are continuing to deteriorate." Well said, Jennifer Whitmore 👏 www.agriland.ie/farming-news...

It was wonderful working with @jessiepb.bsky.social and Marie on Montgomery's drafts of Cruiskeen Lawn articles. We learned so much about the co-authorship of many of the Myles na gCopaleen pieces and about O'Nolan as an editor.

So you want and expect to reverse Brexit? Good luck with that - really! It will happen i suppose, eventually but not anytime soon by the look of things right now. Maybe in 10 years?

How can Britain vote to leave the EU and still expect that Brisith citizens could continue to be EU citizens?? That does not make any sense....

🇭🇷Croatia offers 🇭🇺Hungary and 🇸🇰Slovakia to replace Russian oil supplies. Croatian Prime Minister said that Hungary and Slovakia could replace Russian oil by importing it through the Adriatic oil pipeline. The supply volumes would meet the needs of the two countries.

Of all the lies of the Holiday Home 'Ndrangheta, the first is that they're not asking Europe to fix Brexit for them. That is exactly what they're asking for. Here is Andrew Hesselden, noted collaborator of @bremaininspain.com , saying exactly that. 1

if you made art this year, you did well. a sketch, even if it was scrapped ; a poem, even if it was deleted — mattered. you put thought to paper, you engaged with the creative alchemy of turning feeling to something tangible. doesn't matter if you weren't productive "enough." or good "enough."
