WorldbyStorm - 12:54 Aoine DFómh 27, 2017 More information accruing in the Guardian that indicates the out workings of Brexit (still not a done deal) has led to mistreatment of workers from the rest of the EU. The anecdotes are littered with misinformation by employers, the threat of no employment at all as a means of underpaying workers, unfair dismissals with no […]  A
WorldbyStorm - 11:00 Aoine DFómh 27, 2017 The indefatigable UKPOLLINGREPORT notes that the Guardian/ICM has a new poll out? topline figures of CON 42%(+1), LAB 42%(+1), LDEM 7%(nc). As with other recent polls there is no sign of any obvious movement. And currently 45% of people expect the EU Brexit negotiations to fail with only 30% thinking they will be a success. […]  A
WorldbyStorm - 10:30 Aoine DFómh 27, 2017 I see that the President of UCD SU was still putting out a most interesting line in relation to her impeachment – with 69% of students voting in favour of that as against 31% voting against. Speaking after the result, Ms Ascough thanked her campaign team and said: “This is a sad day for me, […]  A
irishelectionliterature - 05:53 Aoine DFómh 27, 2017 This Sunday is the 70th Anniversary of the 3 by-elections contested by Clann na Poblachta of which they won 2 of them (McBride and Kinane), prompting Dev to run to the polls in early 1948 before they could get organised properly. From the run up to the 1937 General Election an edition of ?Sean Óglac? […]  A
WorldbyStorm - 12:56 Déar DFómh 26, 2017 This piece in Prospect by Joris Luyendik almost convinces me that the departure of the UK from the EU might be a good thing – for both. Problem being that nothing is simple and the UK can’t quite depart from this island with all the resulting problems regarding the Border and so on – which […]  A
WorldbyStorm - 12:02 Déar DFómh 26, 2017 Oddly revealing this, I thought, about the New Zealand elections. Writing in the Guardian Eleanor Ainge Roy suggested that: Nearly three weeks after New Zealand?s general election, the country is waiting for an anonymous, unelected board of individuals belonging to a minor party to make a decision on who forms the next government. Winston Peters, […]  A
WorldbyStorm - 10:50 Déar DFómh 26, 2017 Gewerkschaftler suggested this recently: I suggest this blog should have a regular (weekly) slot where people can post happenings at the personal or political level that gives them hope that we?re perhaps not going to hell in a handbasket as quickly as we thought. Or as the phlegmatic Germans put it ?hope dies last?. Any […]  A
WorldbyStorm - 10:00 Déar DFómh 26, 2017 After all the sweetness and light that was apparent at the budget it appears there may have been a bit too much sweetness and light, at least between FG and FF, to judge from the following: Fianna Fáil leader Micheál Martin has accused Fine Gael of trying to goad his party into calling a […]  A
WorldbyStorm - 07:43 Déar DFómh 26, 2017 Well now, intriguing framing going on here? University College Dublin Students? Union president Katie Ascough said the referendum to impeach her is a ?freedom of thought? issue on campus. The move to impeach Ms Ascough began following her decision to remove a page in the UCDSU freshers? Winging It magazine that contained information on […]  A
WorldbyStorm - 23:10 Céad DFómh 25, 2017 Hot Press has another interview conducted by Jason O’Toole, this time with Alan Shatter, former Minister for Justice and er… Jethro Tull fan. Shatter is a man with a lot to say and no hesitation, it would appear, in saying it… Not for him any equivocation about Repeal the 8th… In 1992, I put on […]  A |
