No. The echo chamber squared is the site with an algorithm that is right wing coded and the owner that posts 200 times a day, retweeting far right filth and forcing it into your timeline even if you have blocked and muted him.

Nice article. One quibble. Taoiseach is easy to pronounce. Tea shock. Worcestershire, now, that's a tough one 🫢

Arab Muslim leaders would get obliterated into a million pieces by the Israelis. What is his point exactly?

Always loved the tune Roygbiv by Boards of Canada. Noticed twenty years later that it's a acronym for the colours of the rainbow.

Wtf. They are hosting the World Cup next year?

Probably for the same reason they signed the non magical act of Union.

There is text and language but it goes to a different school. You wouldn't understand

There are multiple parliaments, each country within the UK has a national anthem. Scotland even has a different legal system. Are we talking about the same place here?

A State consisting of three countries plus Northern Ireland. Joined in a voluntary union.

How can you so confidently predict the political opinion of every Scot living in England and Wales? Bizarre take

They won a trademark case verses McDonalds which was preventing expansion in Europe but then they didn't bother expanding 🤷♂️

Sure. I mean there's Fianna Fail and then the wildly different Fine Gael.

Fico's party got 24% of the vote. Slovakia is EU. Fico is a major embarrassment to many Slovakians

The story is about Tesla's disastrous performance in Europe. How is that 'pumping' Musk?

Can't have it both ways. If America pulls out of Europe then they lose their influence.

It's not about reform voters. It's about energising our own side. There is no passion on our side because we're tiptoeing around these extremists while they can say what they want.

Good idea. There is an ICC arrest warrant for Putin since March 2023. Switzerland can arrest him once he lands

Na. Nobody important has said that and I wouldn't count on it. UK inside the € would be far less likely to post article 50 again. EU has changed too since 2016.

It's European politics. I've followed Sunder for years. I know he thinks migration caps are useless and can't work because we don't really have accurate numbers until years later. I dislike playing the other side's game. Fuck migration caps. It's an arbitrary number that sounds good

The Canadian bilateral schemes with Germany & Spain are capped? I doubt it. This language of 'working towards' a deal means both sides can claim wins that haven't crystalized into legal language yet

I'm surprised considering their 2nd Amendment and various state 'stand your ground' laws that one of them hasn't been killed yet

Reading a de Gaulle biography. Was struck by how the Brits are always at it. Always.

Partition caused a deep scar in Ireland and led to a Civil war. I would have hoped that liberal people in the UK would not be echoing the DUP fanatics bad faith arguments but here we are
comment in response to

You are channelling the DUP line of argument. A fantatical NI party. Nobody reasonable thought Varadkar was threatening violence. He was laying out what would happen if there was border infrastructure. Its completely obvious if you live on this island.

It is temporary and unstable. UK has brought uncertainty to the relationship, not EU. We don't like the annual quota negotiations with Norway either but at least they are dependable
comment in response to

That was completely true and there is documented evidence of it happening every decade since the border was created.

It's not permanent. Alignment happens on an ongoing basis and the Tories/Reform are not far from power. There's no reason for fish and fishing to be decided annually. It's beneficial to 🇪🇺 to have it on a more long term agreement. Also using unionists in N.Ire as leverage is bad form.

I'm not lambasting. David is moaning about the offer of a temporary alignment on food. I'm just pointing out that it is in response to a temporary UK offer. I suspect I'm muted by David for being an annoying reply guy so no matter 🫢😜
