Ah yes, derogatory statements about ethnic groups other than your own. Terrible when other people do it!
“The same thing happened again on 7 April, this time when traders spent $950m on oil futures, betting that the price of oil would fall just hours before the ceasefire with Iran was announced.”
UK households made up of straight couples; have you also had electoral ‘literature’ sent to your address from Reform, addressed only to the male in the house?
All other literature from other parties has been addressed to both of us.
We should be learning from other countries...

In 1950, Prof Leo W. Pollak, Director of the School of Cosmic Physics gave a public lecture in UCD, entitled ‘Is the Earth Getting Warmer?’ He outlined early evidence of a changing climate, from the effects of warming latitudes on fish migration, to glacier decay, and noted the growing scientific consensus that gloabl warming was underway. Prof.Pollak even suggested that Irish coastal towns such as Glengariff in West Cork, or Skerries in Dublin might one day replace the seaside resorts of Southern France!
