I was actually commenting on the other person’s post (@luny….) & not yours.

Was a comment about the relativity between what European governments provide for their citizens & compared to what the US provides, or doesn’t . I shiver as the lack of a safety net for US citizens who are ‘poor’.

Apols.

In truth, if you think that Mayor Mamdani is a ‘socialist’, then you, & all those who believe this, must be so scared of the majority of European countries; Spain, France, Sweden, Germany, Ireland, etc etc; all of whom would be positioned to the left of Mayor Mamdani….

Our model promotes fairness.

Isn’t it incredible that, if I want to visit the USA in the future, I have to be careful in what I might say about this horror in Minnesota?

Free speech? What a joke.

And what an abhorrent act of violence that caused this woman’s death.

RIP Renee Nicole Good.

I hope your death was not in vain.

Is this one of THE most talented group of musicians performing currently. Genuinely brilliant. I even clapped at the TV!
Théotime Langlois de Swarte is a genius.

I’m concerned about the accountability of ALL third level institutions for their use of public money; both ‘public’ & ‘private’ establishments.
I am not convinced they have been held to account in an appropriate manner over the decades.
So, let’s hear from the institutions that have PhD students 🙏🏻.

I don’t doubt there is truth in what you say Dermot. Besides which, you are closer to ‘the action’.
What I’d like to read is the universities rationale for treating PhD students (apparently) so badly. I’ve known a fair few such students in my time. This seems to be more reason source of tension.

I’ve no doubt the members of the Postgraduate Workers’ Organisation who wrote this piece are sincere in their views.

However, I’m wary of reading one side of any contentious issue, without access to the other side’s view, assuming there is a counter argument.

I hope the IT will publish this asap.

Delighted you’re here & hope that your ‘X’ account will soon be an ‘ex’ account. You deserve better.

Thanks for raising an awareness of matters olfactory in an intriguing way.

Looking forward to learning more in due course.

So perhaps the fact that drivers from the Rep of Ireland, driving across the border into the North, are blocked from downloading the BP app is actually ‘a blessing in disguise’ 🥺?

BP Pulse is a joke IMO.
