So the claim here is ca. 50pc of RU military fighting inside UKR has been maimed or killed by UKR drones in 2026. why not round it up to 100pc?

IRE tax policy rather explicitly rapes younger earners. who knew why so many of the smartest leave immediately after college.

Another tax hike that most people aren’t aware of. PRSI going up again and will annually until 2028. You can bet there’ll be more after that.

Former US Ambassador Chas Freeman on Europe's exclusion from the Abu Dhabi talks between the US, Ukraine, and Russia: “The real question is why aren't the Europeans there? The answer is they have no ideas. They have nothing to contribute. They are part of the problem, not part of the solution.”

I take a contrarian stance on this. Ger remains a great place to live if you speak GER, have a few bob and believe we are close to a cultural bottom here. Some reforms, incl. obligating Zel. & crew to pay for their own war, could inject serious optimism back into the place.

Why should Merz get to promote WW3 w/ RU on behalf of the E& when he exhibits total disdain for Europeans. He loves to prosecute private citizens in GER who mock him on X. How abt. the ECJ prosecute him for treason against EU in promoting a nuclear conflict w/ RU? All fair etc.

‼️ EU governments approved a GDPR change to let companies train AI on Europeans' personal data without consent. It makes AI training a possible "legitimate interest", judged case by case. Parliament must still agree. Max Schrems calls it a "digital expropriation" of Europeans.

this is disgusting. unless €pols start building a lot more prisons and locking up literally a few millions thugs and crims, this shit is going to be a permanent fixture of most urban settings in €Land. will that happen? zero chance.

there is a large "centre-right" vote in IRE? who exactly are these good folk voting for?
Eoin O'Driscoll@eoinodrOct 26
We need to start listening to what polls are clearly telling us. Ireland's large centre right electorate (justifiably) feel abandoned. @FineGael needs to stand clearly & proudly for our voters' & members' centre right principles.
