Keir Starmer says he will never withdraw from the ECHR because there is "no need" and Rishi Sunak did not disagree, despite it being the reason he failed to stop the boats. Nigel Farage says it's time to ask the people.

A Swiss girl has been been taken into care because her parents stopped her taking puberty blockers, breaching a ban on conversion therapy. Is this what Labour means by a "full, trans-inclusive ban on conversion practices"?

Net Zero is Impoverishing the West and Enriching China Wed Jul 24, 2024 13:30 | Will Jones
The West's headlong rush to jettison fossil fuels and hit 'Net Zero' CO2 emissions is impoverishing us while enriching China, which is ramping up its coal-fired industry to sell us all the 'green' technology.

Jump To Comment: 1Because one thing that stands out in all this is the very clear avoidance by journalists (thus far the Irish Times, the Irish Independent & RTE) to name the 16 storey hotel in Santry Cross. They obviously all used the same source for their information - the reports and internal warnings of the Irish Aviation Authority Safety Regulation Deparment. Now those type of people wouldn't refer to the problem as a hotel, because that's not how you write reports. Indeed the two photos used in the RTE thumbnails were lifted from the pdf file I linked to above. But this story is not just "human interest". Nor could it be a proper treatment of the IAA's work when RTE ask internet users to be the judge. Nope, this building interests us because we mostly don't have to delve too far in our memories of disasters to remember what happens when passenger aircraft miss runways or collide with buildings. So why not mention the obstacle located at 1.5 nautical miles southwest of the threshhold of runway 34 of Dublin airport? .
Are there perhaps issues of consumer confidence? worker safety? is it the little worker on the windowledge with the squeezy mop or the big capitalist who invested in & expects full return on his "obstacle" who would be pissed off should the same news entities who report, thus deem the information newsworthy then omit a most important detail? I can help you out here. Though not resident in Santry nor having used either Dublin airport or any of that city's hotels, I can book hotel rooms over the internet.
This is what I found :-
..........Days Hotel Dublin Airport boasts 88 superb guest bedrooms, and excellent conference facilities. Situated just off the M50 at Ballymun, Days Hotel is located a mere 7 minute drive from Dublin Airport and just 4 miles from the City Centre. The hotel is part of a ground breaking €2.5 billion development at Ireland’s newest and most radically transformed regeneration area. Easy access by public transport ensures the hotel is ideal for a business or leisure stay. Secure underground car parking is available to all residents. Ruebens café bar is open throughout the day, serving a delicious selection of hot food and snacks. For business users, the lobby and bar have been designed with wireless internet access as standard. In the evening time, the bar is a perfect spot to relax and unwind, before retiring to the comfort of your room..........There are 3 great reasons to stay..............[ & one obviously good one not to. ]

Now who would give planning permission for such a hotel which is being described as an obstacle? & thus far seems to be posing a serious risk to the safety of the city's airport traffic and the residents of Santry?
