The reason I’m in favour of immigration and against the current policies isn’t because demographics mean that we need it for our economy - though that helps. No, the reason I’m in favour of it is basic human decency. These are human beings, not statistics.

Two years ago the local election results showed the best ever result for the Greens and just two councillors for Reform. The Greens were ignored in the media and Reform were pushed. Reform is not a grass roots movement, it is fascism imposted from above by the billionaire owned media class.

As Ardnacrusha gets spun by everyone from tech boosters to nuclear advocates, let's be clear. Ardnacrusha was built by the ESB, the first public, national energy utility in the world, *because* the private sector did not consider such projects to be profitable.

Ireland, an electrostate: 100 years after Ardnacrusha, we now face the same energy challenges
Barry Andrews argues that until Ireland embraces true energy independence, we will be caught up in the endless global turmoil that comes with fossil fuel dependency.

There’s a game on the Apple Store/Arcade called “Mini Motorways” and I swear town planners should play it. The aim of the game is to build roads connecting houses to workplaces, but you never win because the more roads you build, the more cars there are and the worse traffic gets until gridlock.

How infuriating to hear the chairman(?) of Asda on the Today programme implying that land use for solar farms might significantly hurt UK food production. It's nonsense. Golf courses use more than solar ever will & beef/lamb production is huge yet provides a tiny fraction of our protein & calories.
