Counterpoint: Any country that wants my money but will not accept me or my family can fuck right off, even if they have nukes, submarines or yummy fish.
Or CAP or fisheries, for that matter. All used to be very important for the EU project but no longer are. British defence for Europe, or Iceland's or Norway's membership of the EU are far more important than any of these.
I agree but I still love that this paper is out - tells you CVs were getting the ChatGPT treatment practically the moment ChatGPT was out

We wouldn’t have to be so concerned about speaking ill of the dead if we were more honest about people when they were alive

In 1400, Oxford had a population of 6,000 and about 6 killings a year. Triple that of London and York. Why was it so violent? Students got off with impunity, as they had clerical privileges! Nice evidence on institutions
The question increasingly facing the EU is whether weak Russia sanctions are better than none. The signal from all the carveouts for Greek ships owners - over and over - mean the EU just doesn't get taken seriously as a foreign policy actor. That's fatal. robinjbrooks.substack.com/p/greek-olig...

The euro banknotes seem to get a new look, and the @ecb.europa.eu has hosted a survey, asking which desing is the preferred one. I really like the stork on the 50€ banknote. surveys.ecb.europa.eu/10b/banknote...

That’s probably because they don’t want to go to jail
Industry executives have balked at the fee and the potential legal risks of a new data service that would provide ‘faster’ access to posts from the top accounts on Donald Trump’s social media platform Truth Social. ft.trib.al/4gn0otB
In fairness i can almost support this. I can even see how they must have got this veto through because legally it would stand up well. So well done Greek negotiators. It's just the logic is backwards. This isn't a compliance exercise. A foreign power is at war with Europe. You shouldn't fund them.
Για συμβόλαια πριν το 2022: "But Greece held its ground and kept its veto firmly in place until the majority of member states agreed to introduce a derogation allowing the transfer of Russian LNG to non-EU clients for contracts concluded before the start of the invasion in February 2022."
I really enjoyed the interview, particularly how it brought out in turns the commonsense and the alien aspects of illusionism. Comments section was one of the most uniformly positive I've ever seen on an Alex o' Connor video, they were very fond of Keith. And his accent, if i recall correctly.
I'd be interested to know what you make the interview www.youtube.com/watch?v=557P...

The FDA's only positive test in America's worst parasite outbreak in years survived exactly one day — and what happened at the White House 72 hours earlier is why nobody's buying the walk-back.
