Then he got to us and we said we were from Ireland. He paused and then with extreme gravity and hushed reverence he said "Irish butter is comparable to French."
I randomly felt a bout of National pride I've never experienced before or since.

My daughter has been given a role in the school nativity play.
She's one of the three wise men. Well, she's a five-year-old girl, so this is clearly yet another example of wokery gone mad.

I felt this too.
After 2008, Europe as a whole was going through a tough time.
Instead of pulling together with the team to tackle shared problems, Britain took it as an opportunity to attack our neighbours and jump ship.
It was selfish, mean spirited and shortsighted. And it’s backfired.

I’ve been a proud Patron of CLAPA for over 20 years.
My brother was born with a bilateral cleft lip and palate, and I saw first-hand how important it is for families affected by cleft to have the kind of support that @clapacommunity provides.
