If anyone can pass on any evidence to the contrary it would be welcome.

I pretty much ignore most of the UK press so I'm not sure why I should care what an Irish reporter writes.

How lovely and racist of you Rorty.

Because I don't care what a journalist writes in a newspaper lol. Yeah, right.

Oh that's quite good I think. Not sure it says anything hugely new but it has a good sweep to it.

Rorty, apologies if I've said this before but you must have a connection to the village P that I grew up in (I think I must have said it before as it's all I can think of when I see your username!)

This is an interesting perspective

Didn't take long for the racist card to be used to shut down debate shame on you Totally

It was a bit Lightning. Why shouldn't "some Irish reporter" have anything to say FFS?

Sorry Annadale don't have a connection to any village, P or otherwise but fascinated to know why you think that.

I didn't say an Irish reporter shouldn't have anything to say, merely that I wasn't interested in it.

Reading foreign press does give a more balanced perspective than the British press. Unless they have their own agenda of course.

Well I agree it can do but as you say, they all have their own agenda.

I find it very interesting reading other countries' accounts of this. It's typically broader and more thoughtful than our own factionalised press is able to deliver, and less hysterical. I'd also really recommend the New Yorker's coverage of it.

It's the name of a pub, assumed there weren't many with that name but perhaps there are!

It's salutary to read other countries' papers.
