    High winds are battering us in N Ireland right now after a quite cold day. I have a coal fire here to keep me warm.

      Have you voted on your PM yet? I suggest the Irish look to Argentina for inspiration. Deselect the liberals, and disassociate from the EU. Perhaps Ireland and the Netherlands could both sign agreements with the US. Perhaps after 300 years, they will see they have a common enemy, the EU.

    That pre global-warming-climate-change-emergency-climate was so savage.
    It would have been so easy to exploit it and sell it to the people as some kind of
    crisis like global cooling.
    Fortunately they didn’t.
