The Hammersmith Bridge is a beautiful Victorian bridge that no longer works. The Victorians would have demolished it, confident they could build something better. We sit among the ruins of their civilisation.
GB small businesses will from today face another charge for sending goods to the EU, of €3 per customs line in a consignment.
Shein, Temu, and AliExpress are widely expected to find work rounds. Trade barriers mostly hit consumers and small businesses.
Amazing, all of the ideologue blowhards on AJE are working directly for a government that buys arms from Israel. That makes them all complicit in genocide according to their own stated definitions.
Yes, the US treated Iran disgracefully. There is a campaign in Ireland to treat the Israeli team the same. Not one Iranian player has criticised the behaviour of the Iranian Government - even by their own admission thousands of protestors were killed in February.
It’s hard to believe but this is a picture of the United States reflecting pool before the revolution happened. The US was once a very westernized country
Yanks be like:
"Our country is so rich and prosperous. We have big cars. We have big houses.
...And by the way, if you don't tip our servers, they'll starve, so you'll have blood on your hands.
Anyway, bow to our prosperity, Europoors!"
How have Irish people determined that the Iranian team aren't representatives of a brutal oppressive regime but that the Israeli team are responsible for all the actions of Netanyahu, Ben Gvir & co? Nothing sums up their hypocritical stance more. Mick just supports the regime tbf
Former hostage Emily Damari is at the England vs Panama World Cup match.
So good to see former hostages living out their dreams after experiencing the Hamas hell in Gaza.

I think the pity and mockery stems from so many Europeans (usually institutions/"experts") dismissing AC's utility. The vast majority of the debate is not over the mechanics and logistics of deployment, but whether widespread AC is in principle desirable in the first place. I think it garners so much attention from Americans (and Europeans such as myself) because it's a vivid distillation of the self-destructive "degrowth" hysteria that is so prevalent and harmful in many European policy matters. It is the same impulse that led to Germany decommissioning its nuclear capacity, and it is a substantial contributor to the broader economic challenges of the continent.
Imagine the climate movement took off a few decades earlier, when there was a gap between Americans and Europeans with white goods like fridges or washing machines.
Left wing european politicians would be campaigning against the fridge, as they campaign against air con today.
