People need to get a grip and appreciate the wider implications of some of these comments. Macron knows what Putin is doing, but to say so would end one of the few remaining diplomatic channels.

I appreciate the strengthening of the 5th EU sanctions package: bans on Russian coal, vessels accessing EU ports, and road transport operators. But it will take a gas/oil embargo and de-SWIFTing of all Russian banks to stop Putin. Difficult times require difficult decisions.
@davidmcw@JavierBlas Would Ireland Inc. not save a fortune over time if we were to borrow money at near Zero interest, and use that money, either via a circa 90% grant or directly, to provide every house with Battery Storage and Solar Panels, thus taking pressure off the grid during peak times?
My brothers gf is an ED nurse in Dublin. She came home from a night shift in tears. Only 7 nurses on duty when there should be 14. Patients waiting 3 hours to be triaged.
The missing nurses aren't out sick. They've quit due to burnout, low pay & conditions. Issue not just Covid
Hey Twitter, my brother in-law has welcomed a Ukrainian refugee in Dublin. She is a writer & was previously doing pieces of freelance writing & journalism in Lviv. She's looking for some opportunities here & writes through Ukrainian & English.
With 16 hours to go before we head off, and with 49 Ukrainians registered so far to join us on the return journey, we are half way to our fundraising goal. If you like to help us help refugees fleeing the war in Ukraine please donate below. https://t.co/H3f9T7JEOs
I'm not familiar with this @bbc interviewer but did she seriously ask that question? What its wrong with these people? "Security checks" on fleeing refugees ffs!!! Amazed Micheál kept a straight face.
Is there a company that more exemplifies American capitalism and American exceptionalism than McDonalds? I doubt it. And yet they have chosen silence over the all-hands-on-deck fortitude required of this moment. Make no mistake, McDonald’s Russian tax rubles are a funding Putin.
And what are we in Europe going to do about it????? Bloody nothing!!
