Unionism’s worst fears are edging closer: it’s just 4 points away from the unthinkable. Staying in the UK leads Irish unity only among the over-55s in @LucidTalk poll. A border poll is a matter of when, not if. And marching backwards definitely won't work.

Brilliant news. Don't come back.
The UK doesn't spend tax revenue. If the super rich leave that frees up real resources😉

Seven in 10 unionists think a border poll should *never* be called.

I would direct this criticism at both sides but why is everybody ignoring the potential climate impact on the economy. How does growth happen if the jet stream collapse and our climate ends up like northern Russia? wdym there's going to be FDI when sea levels rise?

Have a listen because this is unerringly correct. The only quibble I have is that it's not like a cult, it IS a cult, an unreal mythology imposed on the management of Western economies by Anglicised Protestantism. It deified the saver/investor and profaned the worker/debtor.

Former Asda driver here. That’s the ambient compartment and having it open is doing no harm. The freezer & chiller compartments are closed and are insulated. They will stay cold enough while they’re closed and the engine isn’t running. Don’t be a prick.

It's unhinged to advocate for a people being slaughtered in genocide in an open air prison?

OK professor big brains.

Not only will the BoE Interest rate hike have no positive impact on inflation, but it will also increase volatility in bond markets, mortgage rates, and constitutes a huge fiscal transfer to commercial banks.

[Daniel Lambert @dlLambo]

This is simply outrageous.

A headline in huge font saying "Russia's hand in threats"

Meanwhile the article itself says "without actual evidence"...

We are now being openly hit with wild propaganda to drive an agenda the Irish public rejects.

[Richard Murphy @RichardJMurphy]

Why does the government sell bonds? It is not to fund its spending. It is, instead, to do a favour to the City of London, which needs a safe place to deposit its money. In the process, the government gets to influence interest rates, but mainstream economics never says any of that.

EXCLUSIVE: Nationalists overwhelmingly back protesters blocking the Garvaghy Road to prevent the Orange Order's Drumcree march. Some 98% of SF & SDLP voters agree with the action as do 80% of Alliance & 92% of Green supporters in @LucidTalk poll.
