#Trump is polling atthe lowest of his second term at 37% but even better is that his disapproval ratings are at a very high 63%. Let’s hope the elections in New Jersey and New York City go well.

The public need firm opinions not evasion which is what “supposers” do.
Interviewees on #RTE & other Irish media increasingly say “I suppose”. A mannerism that should now be challenged by the interviewer esp when experts- scientists economists statisticians are giving expert opinion. It’s not much use if they only “Suppose” the outcome of X is supposedly Y?

Amazing that the Ultra Orthodox male Jews protesting in Israel against their conscription to kill in Gaza with the Israeli Aggressive Forces (IAF) are not against war?

#virginmedia customer support is one of theft and cunning. Every month I have to call and wait “we are currently experiencing long wait times” (always=currently) because they add 30/40% to my agreed bill!! We need a regulator for consumers in Ireland!
