I'm calling on Jim O'Callaghan to approve visas for students from Gaza who have been granted scholarships to Irish universities. Will you add your name to the petition now? my.uplift.ie/petitions/vi... @uplift.ie

Conan Doyle pretty much made it up as he went along with Holmes - as you say, in A Study In Scarlet, he knows nothing about politics, but all about the various gradations of tobacco ash, but by the later short stories, he practically morphs into a Victorian Google.

True, that very much marked the point when the Revolution began eating itself, and European liberal opinion started to feel alienated from developments (this being a time before socialism has crystallised as a political concept).

Very much a lack of wit/subtlety involved, if nothing else.

I'll wait for Find Out Now!

Their traditional strip was black and white as far back as anyone could remember, then back in 2007, they changed to all-black for what was meant to be a one-off move and won the Connacht title that year. They thought it was a good luck omen, so made the switch permanent, but won nothing since!

Palin isn't a fan of late-stage Cleese either. Cleese was always jealous Palin successfully pivoted to presenting. As Palin said after one of Cleese's public outbursts, saying Palin had always been boring: "I've always been quite popular because I get on with people." which is a beautiful quiet 🔥

Sligo going all-black only worked the first year, so maybe they should go back to the traditional black and white? In other words, use it as the first choice change strip, but don't wear out the novelty value.

It can be assumed he'll have brought her to the new stadium, but, as with William, the level of actual interest would definitely be debatable!

Prepare to disappear down a rabbit hole, as the digital archive of the Irish-Argentinian newspaper, The Southern Cross, is now free to browse online: hemerotecadigital.bn.gob.ar/collection/0...

So Irish Examiner journalist Alison O’Reilly hears a solicitor, Gavin Booth say that the suspect in the car bomb case ‘spent time in Saoradh.’ She, being kind, misheard him and reports it as time in Syria. The misreporting (still up, btw) goes around the world and media shrugs. Bizarre

Always use a second preference, given it can be used as much to stop an opponent as to aid another party.

Sounds very much like SF here then - most of their modern politicians got involved well after the Good Friday Agreement, but they remain transfer toxic, and while left parties here are willing to work with them, they remain suspicious of their social democratic bona fides.

Don't mention the war!

Surprised you went with Chambers as the alternative, rather than Dara Calleary - keeping in the background, but quietly picking up endorsements, particularly from rural TDs, by glad-handling the rubber chicken circuit.

This graphic on which parties Basque voters are prepared to offer a degree of support is intriguing - it's often claimed, at least by parties on the right, that members of Bildu have been ETA sympathisers, but openness to them on the left suggests a clear political distinction has been drawn?

Certainly the collection is amazing, but I believe the renovations won't be finished until at least October.

#OtD 25 Jul 1927 a two-day conference of about 20 anarchists from across the Iberian Peninsula began in Valencia, leading to the formation of the Federación Anarquista Ibérica (FAI), which played a major role alongside the CNT in the Spanish Civil War stories.workingclasshistory.com/article/9749...

Palestinians in the West Bank are subjected to daily Israeli terror. From arbitrary arrests and settler terror to extrajudicial killings, the Israeli occupation has turned daily life into a battle for survival.

Not particularly - the leader of our largest Irish centre-right party is an avid user of TikTok, but if it's just superficial use of the medium for style points, and not delivering much in terms of policy on the platform, then it's counter-productive.
