A fair number of journalists were […]

Pubs in the capital will remain in limbo – unless of course they are serving a virus-busting plate of chicken and chips for €9. While the recently announced five level plan “Living With Covid-19” is an improvement on […]
Large corporations are exerting more and more political pressure and control over their employees’ basic human freedoms in attempts at virtue-signalling. Yet, their own business interests may display blatant hypocrisy. Woke capitalism, like the #MeToo movement before it, is in self-destruct mode.

The recent debate around assisted suicide has shown that many in public life, rather than choosing compassion, solidarity and care decide to choose the extreme and egotistic approach.
