If any enterprising filmmaker wanted to make something post-MeToo while capitalising on the Hugh Grant renaissance, they should adapt Mary Gaitskill's This Is Pleasure. You can have that idea for free.

I only awoke now! Turned the ould alarm clock off but went back to sleep! Glorious! I’m WFH so it’s not a disaster and I am logged on now, while sipping my coffee, maybe not as alert as usual, but not trying to stuff breakfast in me and commute for about 1h20m, only starting work around 10.30. 1/2

I have spent my entire professional life understanding the British point of view on foreign policy. I get certain historic and cultural differences. But the wilder the world gets the more infuriated I become by the dismissive attitude many Brits have towards the EU as a peace project./

There's been a great deal of debate about how safe Dublin city centre is, but when we @dublininquirer.com looked for data to resolve this, we couldn't find much useful – so we commissioned a survey to try to add some facts/data to the debate. Today we've published five articles about the results. 1/
