PARTING SHOT

Members of Extinction Rebellion and People Before Profit spilled “oil”  from canisters emblazoned “Death by Oil” on the steps of JP Morgan’s offices on Sir John Rogerson’s Quay as they demanded that JP Morgan Chase divest from fossil fuels, after the US based bank provided $39.2 billion in funding to the fossil fuel industry in 2022.

    @Pato: All about Mary Anning, who dug up and sold fossils near Lyme Regis in England in the early 1800s. An interesting person.

    Another article about Mcentee where comments were disabled as soon as the home truths came up. A sad time for press in Ireland and all the indo, rte newstalk etc do Is gaslight us
    The journal thinks being anti Tory/ one sort of government is being right wing, farcical stuff.

    Seriously why are comments closed on the earlier subject about the Russian presidency elections? Are we afraid Putin will sue if something is said untoward? Really?
