@MariaFarrell on being Irish in today’s UK.

Another masterful summary from @TonyConnellyRTE.

More strength to her.

Fascinating interview, especially about the legacy of the DDR.

Not sure that helping prevent US accession to League of Nations, or gaining D’Annunzio’s endorsement, are huge positive achievements...

A cri du cœur on the failure of liberalism. With particular reference to the Arab Spring and Syria.

Solid factual undramatic analysis from @TConnellyRTE.

More sane advice from Captain Awkward.

Great advice as ever.

Yep.

Another disaster in the making.

Fascinating blog post arguing that the answer is “Yes”. And for once, read the comments.

A new perspective, so to speak.

Latest Ivan Rogers, in full at @spectator.

Hah.

Extraordinary story about European Parliament’s longest serving MEP.

The human factor in the avian environment.

Answer: yes.

I mean, really, why not?

Nostalgia for the bootleg music tape stalls on O’Connell Bridge in Dublin.
