What it means to live in a walkable community: you realise that you have no milk left for your afternoon cup of tea. You stroll down the road to your local shop, getting some milk and some fresh air in the process. 10 minute round trip, happy days.

When Extinction Rebellion peacefully protested at the gates of Leinster House, they were swiftly removed by a phalanx of Gardai and arrested.

The US is the enemy.
Remember the controversy when Obama was accused of intervening in UK politics? This is the current US government openly seeking to undermine liberal democracy in Europe.

It’s 2028 and all pedestrians are mandated by law to wear hi vis clothes at all times. Black north face jackets are illegal. Black mascara has been outlawed and replaced with neon. Drivers are still watching tiktok and saying didn’t see you there pal.
