Yeah, from what I can make of it, there's just no solution to the Irish border. NI can't be both within the customs union to prevent a hard Ireland border, and outside of it to prevent a border between NI and the rest of the UK.

I listened to the interview of the IEA director and the Greenpeace person.

I don't think the IEA's behaviour is particularly unusual.

I don't think the IEA have broken any laws or even the guidance on the UK money in politics register. How it plays with the Charity Commission I'm not sure.

I don't think it's entirely ethical.

It's interesting that it's Greenpeace who have done this.

I suspect that the 'experts' can rant against stockpiling all they like- people are still going to do it.

No-deal preparations: The UK is getting to the point where leaking these plans is a necessary public service. I hope you have a whistleblower with sufficient courage.

Israel: This makes me very sad, but no sadder than I am for the UK or my own US. I'd have no more voted for Netanyahu than for Brexit, or than I did for Trump. We've got them anyway.

Conductor and soloist: I knew before reading that this would be about Bernstein and Gould, since that's just about the only time in classical concert history that such a clash has ever happened. Even the one the writer thinks they witnessed they're not entirely sure actually happened. (And that the interpretation of the meaning of Beethoven's slow movement requires a different tempo is ridiculous.)
