Ooof. Well enjoy it next week so!

I’m just out. No spoilers - I thoroughly enjoyed it. Have fun.

This is the absolute pits. I know a Palestinian lad who was stateless until he got an Irish passport a few years back. I was so, so happy for him when he did.

Dumping a stateless person out into the unknown is one of the cruelest things you could do. But no…We can go lower…

An officer eventually told her that she would be sent to the Israel border

JFC :/

Sakeik’s family is from Gaza, but she was born in Saudi Arabia, which does not grant birthright citizenship to the children of foreigners

This is a similar story to my friend. Stateless Gazan parents but he was born in UAE and has never set foot on Palestinian soil. Horror story for that poor woman.

Mmmm. I’m not sure tbh but I don’t think so. If your grandmother had an Irish passport though that might work. Worth checking if you’re considering it.

My sister lives in the UK a long time now and all her kids have an Irish passport. It’s actually a great passport to have for travel. EU is obviously wide open but most places accept it without much (or zero) effort.

Yeah he knew about ten words of Danish after over three years there before he moved to Germany. Even his lectures were in English which I was surprised at.

He has had to learn a little German but not that much and he’s there about 18 months now. The office he works in has folks from all over so they just use English.

Netherlands also in my experience basically everyone can speak perfect English.

I prefer to try to use a bit of the local language when I’m travelling myself as I find folks react well to the effort.

I’m terms of offence, it’s unlikely. I’d imagine tourists are common enough everywhere. I have reasonable French myself so I do try to use it when there so I can’t say for France specifically.

If you’ve any other questions I can pass them on to the young lad.

Almost anywhere in Europe is the answer. My son did his masters in Denmark and never learned Danish. He lives in Germany now and speaks fuck all German.

Once in the Netherlands, after losing my glasses I asked an optician if he could speak English and he was thoroughly insulted.

Britain and Ireland are both native English.

If you have an Irish grandparent you can get a passport. Lots of work here and Americans are welcome.

Otherwise work visas that turn into residency aren’t difficult to come by with sponsorship and it’s not the kind of sponsorship that makes you a slave.

Welcome to Europe, researchers!

Lots of great choices and don’t worry, you can move to France without knowing French or Denmark without knowing Danish!

Ah it’ll be hard to maintain that standard so I’m going in without the high expectations.

I’ve also been avoiding the trailer or anything else online but got a bit of a spoiler from a meme on here.

Looks like we’re moving up to Thursday too. Woop woop 🙌

Edit: I did look at the IMDb score though and it’s solid

Going on Friday with my bestie. Can’t wait!!

Yeah that’s the lad. The history of Rome is incredible. I only fell into Revolutions because I needed something to fill the gap after history of Rome and his style is very easy listening.

I’m being a bit more picky with the sections I listen to in revolutions but really enjoying it so far.

It’s on Spotify etc if you have that.

Well I learned a lot so thanks. Particularly surprised at the levels that anarchism reached there. I’m listening to the 'revolutions" podcast at the moment (highly recommended) and just coming into the Russian revolutions so I can see the seeds of it.

Have you read the book you linked? Any good?

It’s what Jesus would have wanted.

I hate that I have to add the /s

Every day that word gets cheapened to the detriment of Jewish people everywhere.

Cheers. I’ll give them a read this evening.

And yeah great bunch of lads the Spanish. Absolutely sound in general.

If Zionists had any real leverage they could use to control states Spain and Ireland (and to a lesser extent France under Macron) wouldn’t be outspoken advocates for Palestinian rights

I’m not sure what has given Spain their perspective but at least in Ireland there is no amount of propaganda you could throw at us to change public perception here, largely on a moral ground, but we also have that sweet, sweet history of oppression. We were all horrified on October 6th but there’s no justification for the current genocide.

Really fucking tired of antisemitism bring bandied about as the reason for our support too. Children are being shot in the street, losing limbs and being starved as a weapon of war FFS. Antisemitism is a real and nasty thing and the word is being cheapened by the hour.

Very happy to have a larger country along for the ride with us. History is on our side. 🇪🇸🤝🇮🇪

Ah I eventually discovered that it was a scheduled signal message. Cheers though.

This was going to be my next port of call but another comment caused me to figure out that if was a scheduled signal message.

Thanks. I was about to do this but another comment caused me to check scheduled messages. It was signal.

Edit: I went in here to look anyway and this would have definitely caught it. Thanks for the suggestion.

Just updated the comment above yours. It was a scheduled message in signal. Thanks!
