The poppy police out and about
Just noticed that Roy Keane decided not to wear the poppy yesterday on Remembrance Sunday for the Manchester United match. Quite disappointing for a man who owes his entire career to the UK and English sport. I think it should be made a rule for broadcasters around the country day, all pundits should be asked to wear the poppy; if they choose not to wear it, then they have to sit out that weekend.
Extremely disrespectful to those paying his wages...

"This is the time of monsters, but also time to act, to be partisan, to engage in what Gramsci called a ‘war of position’, the cultural struggle to change ideas and institutions. Thinking is a privilege; indifference is not an option"

All poppies are virtue signalling. If you weren't intending to signal your virtue, you would simply make a donation to the RBL without the need to signal anything.
You know @ZackPolanski you could have just wore the red Poppy and left the virtue signalling one at home today right?

The images of kids submerged in freezing floodwater, in flimsy tents that won't survive another winter, make me SICK.
I think of Primo Levi’s words that every European learns by heart at school - only to forget when entering politics or diplomacy.
The shame of our time.

Palestinians are crying for help from sewage-flooded tents.
In just 12 hours, 70,000 tents have been submerged in floodwater and sewage after heavy rains.

IFUT members will take part in the 24-hour public service work stoppage on Thursday, 12 November.
Members will withdraw their labour for the full day and join public rallies in Dublin, Cork, Limerick and Galway from 12 noon to 2.00pm.
Ten days of intensive negotiations have not ble of resolving the dispute.
The outstanding issues remain clear: pay, protection of living standards, measures for lower-paid workers and local bargaining.
Our previous action demonstrated the collective strength of IFUT members across higher education. On 12 November, we build on that pressure.
IFUT remains ready to reach an agreement. Government now needs to put forward proposals that unions can credibly recommend to members.

Helen McEntee, Minister of Defence, has said it is too early to say who is behind the recent threats and cyber attacks.
Statements like this are not just inaccurate but irresponsible when there is so much at stake.

Russia has run terrorist campaigns against Irish schools, supermarkets, airports, utilities and much more. @JohnMooneyIRL provides superb analysis in the Sunday Times of the nature of the varied threats Ireland faces in advance of next week’s EU and EPC meetings in Dublin.
