So fishing contributes just 0.03% to UK GDP and 10,000 jobs. Defence is 80 times more important and valuable. Yet the xénophobes decry the reset… go figure

UK-EU Deal is a brilliant step forward in trying to re-establish links for security, energy and food standards. A great first step and I would support attempts to REJOIN the EU in time. Try to ignore racist Ill-educated trolls this is great news.

Israel says it will close its embassy in Dublin. Netanyahu is at the root of both failure to prevent the atrocities and not getting the hostages out. How many have to die before peace is established?
