Do you think someone's going to get hurt at an event where there are Zionists and Irish footballers / fans (notwithstanding that those who attend probably won't be very conscious). Or would that be alarmist

If we are to remain indelibly tied to FFI as a way of sustaining our economy then I reckon we should just go all in on Chinese investment. Being a literal vassal state of Beijing would be preferable to what we have now

Was never mad into 'neither Washington nor Beijing' as a slogan on certain parts of organised left, seemed like an instance of playing the hits > What's happening now but between this and the emissions story yday, popular front with latter is imperative

- herpes simplex virus causes cold sores, genital herpes, infections in babies, deadly meningitis
- shingles virus causes an intensely painful disease

I remember a Napoleon (or something adjacent) one where a guest closes with an admission that his legacy is greater than Wellington's and you can audibly hear the sense of dismay from the other guests. Vintage IOT moment

There was a few of these post 9/11 atlanticist episodes, hitchens on an episode about America was another, but the politics have been consistently establishment English philistinism, pro-Wordsworth, audibly bored by Brecht
Listening back and caught one on the crusades where they hadn't nailed the format and Tariq Ali's pro-Saladin line really upsets everyone

at the risk of being cringe or whatever, the making of Threads was a political act by CND people whose purpose was to puncture any sort of ignorant nationalist optimism about nuclear war & foreground the stakes in detente and disarmament for policymakers present and future
