Well the thing about water vapour (naturally occurring) is that it adjusts itself based on pressure and temperature. CO2 on the other hand keeps rising thanks to industrial (manmade) output. Additionally, CO2 is far better at absorbing thermal radiation, holds it longer and absorbe energy at the peak of the earth's spectrum.
Oh and about the sun...the energy seen on earth is only a tiny fraction of solar output. It amounts to about 1360 watts per square meter at the edge of the atmosphere, and only about one fifth of that actually reaches ground. Then....most of it is re-radiated into outer space at longer wavelengths. | 0 | en |

In the final press conference of his presidency, Barack Obama reiterated that he would largely keep mum once his successor took office. “It is appropriate for him to go forward with his vision and his values,” Obama explained. However, that statement did come with a bit of a caveat.
For Obama, there would be “certain issues or certain moments where I think our core values are at stake” that might “merit me speaking out,” he said. Those issues included “systematic discrimination being ratified in some fashion,” “explicit or functional obstacles to people being able to vote,” “institutional efforts to silence dissent or the press” and “efforts to round up kids who have grown up here and for all practical purposes are American kids and send them somewhere else.”
Of course, all of these things have happened—yielding statements from Obama on issues relating to immigration, climate change and health care.
Still, this has not been enough for many who are understandably drowning in the misery of this administration—one spearheaded by a terribly erratic aspiring tyrant whose only real consistency since taking office is to dismantle the accomplishments of his predecessor, the man whose citizenship he questioned to gain political legitimacy.
In recent weeks, more men—notably white ones—have publicly called on former President Obama to play a larger role in the resistance of his successor. They want him to go further than he has—and forgo the tradition of former presidents taking a more apolitical stance after leaving public office—because citizens are suffering under the most atypical president in American history.
Among such men are Charles Pierce, whose work I greatly admire and who just this month wrote for Esquire that while Obama has more than earned his time of leisure ...
[T]he country is burning down at the moment, literally and figuratively. A concerted effort being made to obliterate all the achievements of his eight years in office is one or two timorous votes away from succeeding. We’re lurching toward war on the Korean peninsula, and there’s one natural disaster after another being dropped on a government that is half-staffed at best, and being run by fools and lunatics in any case. Race and class and gender and all the other national wounds are being inflamed purposefully in the hopes that nobody will notice that the institutions of American democracy are unable to cope with the simple fact that the American people elected, yes, a fucking moron. Those institutions are not capable of withstanding these assaults much longer without cracking.
... and Robert Kuttner, co-founder and co-editor of the American Prospect, who, in a piece for HuffPost titled, “Missing in Action: Barack Obama,” also published in October, claimed:
But the part that especially attracts Trump’s hatred is anything that Obama accomplished. Some of these policy reversals are so unpopular even among Republicans that Trump has punted the issue of the Dreamers and the proposed Iran reversal to Congress. That way, Trump can signal his own hatred for anything Obama did but rely on Republican legislators to save sensible policy. So, where, you might ask, is Barack Obama, as his legacy and his most important accomplishments are being systematically dismantled? Well, at last report he was in Brazil, offering a totally unremarkable set of platitudes to a corporate audience. The common characteristic of those who heard it was that they could afford to pay upwards of a thousand bucks a ticket.
And then there was another piece published this month at HuffPost from former presidential candidate and election-2000 spoiler Ralph Nader, who, in an essay titled, “Obama: Too Cool for Trump’s Crises,” had this to say:
Obama could, for example, work to strengthen civic groups and help substantially to create new organizations to address urgent needs (such as averting wars); he could back opposition to Trump’s destructive policies that are running America into the ground while shielding Wall Street and the dictatorial corporate supremacists whose toadies Trump has put into high government positions. Obama is a big draw and can raise hundreds of millions of dollars faster than most. Furthermore, he has the unique ability to fill the void the mass media is desperately looking to fill by serving as a counterweight to Trump. Hillary, hawking her latest book, doesn’t fit the bill here. Instead, Obama, besides raising funds for his presidential library (about $1 billion), is getting press primarily for being paid $400,000 or more per speech before Wall Street and other big-business audiences.
The fact that Kuttner and Nader take issue with Obama’s doing what many modern presidents have done after leaving office is a curious critique, especially because they are essentially asking him to forgo amassing a fortune in order to clean up another mess made by white supremacy.
And yet, when Obama was treated to unprecedented amounts of hostility from the political right, neither Kuttner nor Nader came to his defense. I recall Nader claiming that Obama was worse than former President George W. Bush and dubbing him a “war criminal.” Years before that, Nader called Obama an “Uncle Tom for the giant corporations.” But suddenly, Nader now is repeatedly calling on Obama to be his hero.
Kuttner may not have employed hyperbole and slurs to criticize Obama, but he certainly did criticize him on health care and on trade, and he wrote an entire book dismissing his presidency based on a failure to live up to progressive standards that those who paid arguably closer attention to the campaign never saw candidate Obama promise to live up to.
Obama is not above criticism. I didn’t like his excessive use of drones, either. Nor did I care for his health care plan not including a public option. Obama had a lot of legislative accomplishments in the beginning of his term, but those who believe that he squandered other opportunities or sometimes caved in to Republicans too easily—assuming that they would behave in kind—have a point.
Obama has a lot to do with the fact that the Democratic Party nationally was weak from an organizational front when it came time for the 2016 presidential election, which would have been the burden of any nominee. And he sure should have said a lot more about Russia’s role than he did.
There are other complaints, but most of all, I loathed the way he talked to black people: a paternalistic, admonishing and often condescending tone that he never duplicated with white folks.
That said, people like me spoke about the racism in which Obama’s administration was often entangled—while two of these exhausting, self-righteous, progressive white men feigning moral clarity did not.
Charles Pierce did, but his error mirrors those of others who want Obama not only to jump in with “the resistance” butalso to lead it: Obama is not that guy.
Obama is not “too cool” for the resistance, but he is incapable of delivering the sort of messaging required of it. Look no further than his return to the campaign trail in New Jersey for Phil Murphy, the Democratic candidate for governor of New Jersey, and Sheila Oliver, who is running to be his lieutenant governor. Obama did not mention Sweet Potato Saddam by name, but he did speak about the tone on which his political ascension has been built. To the cheers of an adoring crowd in Newark, Obama claimed:
Some of the politics we see now we thought we’d put that to bed. That’s folks looking 50 years back. It’s the 21st century, not the 19th century.
Fifty years? George W. Bush won in 2004 in part by fanning the flames of homophobia and then-majority anti-marriage-equality sentiments. Bush also won by an outside group pathetically distorting John Kerry’s service in Vietnam. Before that, he won in 2000 thanks to the Supreme Court and his brother—Jeb!—suppressing black votes in the state of Florida.
Before that, his father won his presidential election in part because of a racist campaign ad crafted by Lee Atwater, the racist behind the inherently racist Southern strategy. And before that, Papa Bush served with racist Ronald Reagan, the “welfare queen” stigma slinger, who originally promised to “Make America great again.”
Obama knows this, but as he illustrated in his 2004 Democratic National Convention speech, he chooses to see America differently even when it rubs its racism directly in his face.
That’s why it was frustrating to hear Obama also say in Newark:
You cannot complain if you didn’t vote; you did not exercise the power the Constitution gives us that people fought for. This is entirely under your control. If you don’t like how things are going, you gotta vote.
Many of us who are black are turned away from the polls. It is no coincidence that the first black president was succeeded by a demagogue who fanned long-stemming racial tensions in America in the first election to take place after the gutting of the Voting Rights Act.
Speaking about Obama’s appearance in New Jersey, a senior adviser to Obama told Time magazine:
It’s in no one’s interest—including the former president’s, the Democratic Party’s, or the country’s—for President Obama to become the face of any resistance or the party. Instead, he is creating the space for leaders in the party to craft the best path forward that will make our country better.
Obama believes in America’s mythology too much to lead the resistance anyway. Obama, as Tressie McMillan Cottom brilliantly articulated in The Atlantic last December, has a misguided faith in white America.
Funny enough, while Obama delivered the political equivalent of the same old two-step, former President George W. Bush also criticized the 45th president without saying his name. Bush, however, did say something more direct:
Our identity as a nation, unlike other nations, is not determined by geography or ethnicity, by soil or blood. ... This means that people from every race, religion, ethnicity can be full and equally American. It means that bigotry and white supremacy, in any form, is blasphemy against the American creed.
The son of a political dynasty that largely owes itself to white supremacy and bigotry condemning it now is a bit comically ironic, but ultimately, much of what is happening now is related to white supremacy and the desperate clinging to maintaining the status quo. White people are so desperate to protect whiteness and maintain the societal hierarchy, they voted for a ding-dong with the intellectual curiosity of roadkill.
I wish Barack Obama would say that with his platform, but he won’t. He believes in the institutions despite the fact that 45 has gone above and beyond to show on what they were founded and on what they continue to thrive.
Obama is performing within his capability. It’s time for people to measure their expectations accordingly, to set their projections aside and to see him for the man he’s always been.
He is not anyone’s mule. Obama remains the anomaly; it’s white men who have the monopoly on power.
If white men see the country burning, they need to look inward regarding how to fix it. After all, this is all a mess of their making anyway.
As it’s always been.

Nice article, but the problem is that there are people in SA to whom the term 'legal duty' means absolutely bugger all and we all know what the course of action is likely to be on the part of the NPA and other so-called law-enforcement bodies... inaction, delays, appeals, obfuscation, 'lost' dockets, illness so unable to attend court, new lawyers - so more delays...
As for any court order that Zuma's tax record be released, again, so what - remember what happened when his lawyer Hulley was ordered to hand over the 'spy tapes'?
Court orders, legal duty and all the rest of it mean stuff all to these people, and that will not change until the various bodies' current leadership structures and individuals are replaced and ANYONE defying court orders, legal duty and so on are arrested and locked up until they comply - and then charged with contempt of court and punished with long jail time (and NO time off for an attack of the shakes).
Sans that, enforcement in SA risks becoming a bad joke. | 0 | en |

The abuse that children endured, and the damage to native culture and language is shameful, and needs to be examined and addressed. But one thing that seems clear is that most native leaders of today and recent past were given a good education in schools like Mt. Edgecumbe, and many went on to college and became leaders able to advocate for their people. Many of today's kids, on the other hand, being educated in village schools are not graduating from school prepared to go to college. Will they be prepared to take up the mantle of leadership that their elders pass on, and be effective advocates for their people in Washington and Juneau? | 0 | en |

#EV12 Day Eight
Thank fuck! I just got my German power adapter working and now my phone is charging. I was worried. I can’t get anything done without this thing. And since my laptop is running on fumes it’s nice to have a working device. It just needs to last until I get to Frankfurt, as the Air Canada flight from Frankfurt should have USB and a North American outlet in the seat backs.
So I never really finished yesterday’s blog post, because that wasn’t the end of my night. Instead I wandered. I just walked north and stumbled upon the Canadian Embassy. They were closed, and they misspelled Canada; it doesn’t have a k. Then I walked a bit further and I came across the holocaust memorial which Moti had written about not so long ago.
If I hadn’t read his blog post I would’ve just thought it was a park. I would’ve thought it was a park designed to make rape easy. There’s nothing in the memorial which can be in any way inferred that it is a tribute to dead Jews. It’s just a fun place to play in the day, a fun place to murder and rape in the evening. I don’t know who designed this.
Just north of there was the US embassy. It’s so very heavily blocked off. Giant fence. Police. It’s a pretty building when you look past all that. Beyond that was the Brandenberg Gate which was also very pretty, but didn’t keep my interest too long. So I kept on keeping on and suddenly I was at parliament, the Bundestag. Lit up at night the building is absolutely gorgeous. I was shocked to see people were still being let up into the glass dome. I figured why not? The reason why not is apparently I need to pre-register. Apparently being awesome is not sufficient. I wandered the grounds. I was annoyed at how much of the building was gated off. It made me think of the British Commons where they installed a glass (clear plastic?) divider between the public gallery and the actual commons. Apparently someone threw a ball of flour at Blair, and that’s why they installed it.
Pussy.
This extreme reaction to POSSIBLE terror threats is an issue I believe. If the commons cannot be a place for all of your nation’s people to be welcomed, then it is no longer truly a house of commons.
Then I continued walking. I found water. I found LRT tracks. Saw an LRT vehicle. Maybe one day we’ll see those in Toronto. Basically I walked towards the Berlin mini-CN Tower. Much like the CN Tower, it’s a broadcasting tower. Also like the CN Tower, it’s fucking hideous. Is there a good design for giant sky phallus? At least Berlin’s isn’t made of poured concrete. So that wasn’t very exciting. It was at this point that a slightly crazy woman came running at me chasing her dog and saying something in German. Turns out she’s from London! We talked and she tried to help me find my way back to the hostel. She was completely useless in that regard, but she had me laughing. She also told me I don’t have a Canadian accent. I assume that means I don’t sound like a Newfie.
Eventually I took a taxi back to the hostel where I noticed they hadn’t fixed my bed. You see, before I went out night walking I got out of my bunk and heard a pop. Some of the wooden slats supporting the mattress were sticking out. Yes I’m fat. They didn’t do anything when I got back it was still like that. So I bugged the front desk to switch beds if the room wasn’t full tonight (there was one free bed last night). No go. Apparently there wasn’t a free bed in the whole fucking building. So instead they had to fix it now as I didn’t want to fall on the woman below me. Would you want an ~800lb man falling on you? Yeah didn’t think so. So they had to go into the room which was already mostly filled, wake everyone up, turn on the lights and fix the bed.
So, I’m an asshole.
Then I took some sleeping pills and waited for them to kick in.
I slept in. I was going to take a tour of the nearest concentration camp, but it left at 10. Now I need to figure out what I want to do, and I have no idea.
I walked through teirgarten and visited a handful of monuments in the park. Found the Mozart, Beethoven, and Hayden. Strange to see dents from bullets in the marble. Then went to see Siegessaule, which is a monument to the victory over the French in 1871. It was a further walk than I expected, but not so bad.
From there I went to the DDR museum which is a museum showing life in east Germany and the fall of the wall. It’s not a bad museum, except everything is interactive and they MUST be over capacity. You could barely move and barely take enough time to read the info.
My plan was to go back to the hostel at that point and use Internet to figure out what to do next. The problem was I didn’t want to walk through Brandenburger Tor again. For the exact same reason I never want to walk through Dundas Square or be around during Taste of the Danforth, too many fucking people.
So I checked my map (the one on my iPhone) and found an alternate route. En route I was walking by a plaza called “Checkpoint Plaza” and something made me think that I might be near Checkpoint Charlie. Turns out I was. Berlin has big boards up, like you would find when a building is under construction. The difference is these had information on it1, it detailed the history of post-WW2 Germany. A lot of the information covered had already been detailed at DDR, then I found big slabs of concrete. I don’t know if they were actual pieces of the wall or reproductions. Either way, interesting. Oh, and there was the checkpoint itself.
It was nice to have stumbled across it as I don’t know if I would have gone otherwise. There’s not much to see there, but at least I can say I’ve been.
I started walking back to the hostel and came across the Stasi museum Moti had mentioned. It was okay. It was somewhat interesting, but a good 50% of the place is not translated to English. I can’t blame them for that as if I were to build a museum, German translation wouldn’t be the highest priority. Unless it were a David Hasselhoff museum.
Then I continued on my way. I crossed the street and was confused by the lack of sidewalk. Then I noticed what was standing in my way… the Berlin Wall.
I was at Topography of Terror, which had requested to keep that portion of the wall damaged but in place. It was kind of incredible to see such an aspect of recent political history standing there.
I didn’t go in, but outside they had an exhibit of the terror from 1933-1945. It was interesting and to continue with the theme, depressing. | 1 | en |

Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush (R) said Saturday that supporters for GOP presumptive nominee Donald Trump aren’t “a bunch of idiots” and should be respected, CNN reported.
“What I fear is that people, kind of looking down their nose, will say the people that are supporting Donald Trump are a bunch of idiots. They’re not. They’re legitimately scared. They’re fearful,” Bush reportedly said at an event in Amsterdam. “They’re not as optimistic for legitimate reasons and there should be respect for that. And on the other side, a similar respect needs to be shown.”
Bush has said that he won’t support Trump as the nominee. The real estate mogul mercilessly criticized Bush on the campaign trail, calling Bush “low energy.” | 1 | en |
Happy Xmas Real Estate Industry (Cartel) - your substantial donations to the BC Liberals have paid dividends. As other commenters have pointed out this will directly increase prices by the amount of any benefit handed to 1st time buyers. So the developers are able to jack their prices up and get a nice little Xmas bonus.
Surely the BC Liberals dont think we'd fall for the line that this is helping buyers. Oh and by the way, rates are rising and this benefit lasts 5 years. There will be a nasty sound that occurs when this "honeymoon" is over.

What we need to see with a story like this is how many hours a month do they work? That way you can see if they are woefully underpaid to begin with.
Without that information this is just an attempt to grab a headline. Who knows how many hours these people are required to be away from family and work as these are not livable wages so this is their side job which I would assume takes a lot more time than many realize. | 0 | en |

Again, personal attacks to stifle the discussion because your view is questioned. But I will check out the black population in CA and WA from 1845 until 1940 and compare it to OR's. Of course this will require more than just cursory numbers (whatever they may be). My initial assumption will be that if large black populations are found in this time period it will be in the cities and probably due to a war boom but I could be wrong and that is the fun of research. Since Oregon only has one city that would could even possibly compare to the defense heavy areas of CA and WA that will also be problematic but it should be interesting. | 0 | en |

For the past couple of years we have watched as the government has handed out bailout after bailout and tried to prop up our foundering economy by not allowing companies that are “too big to fail” to go into bankruptcy. I’m one of the ones who happen to think this was a mistake, and that you just have to let companies that aren’t run well to go out of business. Let the market do it’s job and let badly run companies go under.
I had joked back in 2009 and 2010 that the government was going to start running out of companies to bail out, and pretty soon they were going to just start bailing out individual homeowners. Turns out I wasn’t far off.
The Emergency Homeowner Loan Program
The federal government has just launched “The Emergency Homeowner Loan Program” which aims to help homeowners who are struggling to make their home mortgage payments by giving them financial help to pay their monthly payments.
If you’re a homeowner struggling to make mortgage payments because you are unemployed or underemployed, the federal government has just launched a program to help. The Emergency Homeowner Loan Program, or EHLP, will provide zero-interest loans of up to $50,000 to pay your mortgage, property tax and insurance bills for up to two years. The program will essentially subsidize your mortgage payments, allowing you to pay just 31% of your income or $150, whichever is greater. EHLP will pay the balance. Homeowners can receive this help for up to 24 months, or until they run through the maximum EHLP loan amount of $50,000.
So basically if you’re having problems paying your mortgage payments, insurance and property taxes, you can apply for this program that will give you an interest free loan for up to $50,000 in order to pay those expenses.
But it gets better. If you continue not being able to afford your mortgage over the next few years and still meet eligibility requirements, the “loan” will essentially become a government grant as the balance is forgiven in 20% increments each year.
No payments are due on the 5-year term of these loans as long as the borrower continues to meet the program requirements. Better yet, if you do meet all the conditions of the program, your loan will be forgiven in 20% increments each year, essentially turning the loan into grant over five years.
Who Qualifies For The Emergency Homeowner Loan Program (EHLP)?
To qualify for this government aid program you must act quick because there is 1 billion available for the program, and when it runs out – it’s gone. You must meet the following criteria:
Have experienced a 15% decline in income due to a job loss or serious illness, leaving you at risk of losing your home.
You must reside in one of 32 states that are affected by the program: Alaska, Arkansas,Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Hawaii, Idaho, Iowa, Kansas, Louisiana, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, New Hampshire, New Mexico, New York, North Dakota, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Puerto Rico, South Dakota, Texas, Utah, Vermont Virginia, Washington, West Virginia, Wisconsin and Wyoming.
You must submit a pre-screening application by July 22, 2011. Fill it out at http://www.findehlp.org
Documentation You’ll Need To Apply For EHLP Mortgage Bail-Out Program
If you decide to apply for the program, you’ll need to supply documentation of your situation. Among the things you’ll probably need include:
Recent mortgage statements.
Written notice from your employer, showing your termination or cut in pay.
A notice from your lender, saying you’re at risk of foreclosure
Tax returns for the past two years.
Citizenship documents (such as a passport or birth certificate).
Documentation of current income, such as a pay stub.
To get a .pdf document of the entire list of required documents, click here
Conclusion
While I’m sure this program may help some folks who have hit hard time through no fault of their own, I also think that for many it will just be prolonging the inevitable foreclosure or home loss. I’m more of a ‘rip the band-aid off’ kind of guy, and I’d rather have some folks experience some pain now and go through foreclosure rather than using a billion dollars of taxpayer money to give grants that probably aren’t going to be paid back.
What do you think of this program? Is it a good idea? Should the government be giving these loans/grants – or are they just helping to re-inflate the housing bubble? | 0 | en |

argyle,
I've been saying the same things for more than 30 years.
Canadians are sheep. But many are finally waking up. They're still afraid to speak up against tsunamis of immigration, negative effects of multiculturalism and strange religions. But they're starting to wake up.
We need to stop apologizing for defending Canada, Canadian values, working class values, Canadian communities, jobs, wages from foreign speculators, foreign multinational corporations, foreign influences, etc.
The first responsibility and most important duty of any government is to protect citizens from harm. Millions are being harmed from out of control immigration and foreign influences.
Time to get a little more pro-active. I call the globalists, the immigration industry, and the corporations who send our jobs overseas traitors and enemies of working class Canadians. | 0 | en |

An inverse ratio, perhaps. Many otherwise hardworking people don't engage in abstract problem-solving, would rather solve problems hands-on. I can't agree with the author that 'simpleton' is synonymous with 'simplist'. A simpleton is sometimes easily fooled by smoke and mirrors, or sound and fury; a simplist is often one who can see through the fog and hear what is really being said. | 0 | en |

In Canada, attorneys-general have a different role from other cabinet ministers.
"While there are different emphases and nuances attached to these there is a general theme throughout all the various aspects of the Attorney General's responsibilities that the office has a constitutional and traditional responsibility beyond that of a political minister."
https://www.attorneygeneral.jus.gov.on.ca/english/about/ag/agrole.php
It's even written into legislation. Section 5 of the Ministry of the Attorney General Act states:
"The Attorney General,
(b) shall see that the administration of public affairs is in accordance with the law"
It's similar in many parts of the world - not sure about the Unites States. | 0 | en |

This is a serious failure - and how many others have been in such conditions for years on end in Ontario. Wynne will not see any of her team from their posts - she heads the weakest Cabinet in Ontario history - there is no one to fill for failing Ministers. In the Capay case, the responsibility and accountability must be passed to the Deputy Minister(s) who knew about and neglected these unacceptable, on-going failures in Ontario's prisons. Mr. Lundy -- the union rep -- is the only Corrections employee who did his job. | 0 | en |

No one should be that surprised that the cut in our Hydro costs was purely a scam. Look at your Hydro bill... think you're paying up to 14 cents per kilowatt hour? Try 30 cents once you factor in delivery and debt retirement. We pay one of the highest rates in the world. Ontario Hydro has been mismanaged for years and this current Liberal government has compounded these failures. And now it's tried to scam us by borrowing money to create the illusion of a fake reduction in what we pay. Servicing this debt will now collectively cost us $4,000,000,000 more. And this was all done in a secret and deceitful manner. It's time for a new government in the province and for the people of Ontario to fight to get real changes so we aren't constantly fleeced by self-serving politicians. | 0 | en |
A couple of interesting statistics were released at the end of January. In 2015 reported sales of cannabis in Colorado came up $4 million short of $1 billion. That means the State collected $135 million in gross tax revenue. Total gross revenue reported increased by just under 42.5%. That percentage is in dollars, but the average retail price of State authorized cannabis in 2015 was significantly lower than in 2014. Of course that means that the quantity of cannabis distributed was more than a 42.5% increase year over year. | 0 | en |
I can't find on my tablet your full reply to my comment on ENDA, and employment discrimination against LGBT people in the US. I received an e-mail with only a partial reply.
You mentioned Ashers bakery, in Belfast Northern Ireland, and claimed that a petition in support of its decision to refuse to fulfil an order for a cake made by a gay man showed around 70% of signatories in favour.
Shall I stop here? Or have you already spotted your gaffe? Yes, that's right, T. My comment concerned EMPLOYMENT DISCRIMINATION, whereas your post was about provision of goods and services. Totally irrelevant. You weren't paying attention, were you?😎
Still, I'll humour you and comment anyway. Would that petition be the one that showed a massive, whopping, mind-bending, eye-popping, jaw-dropping, speech-stopping, eyebrow-raising...er... 15000 signatories in support of Ashers?😩 Out of a Northern Ireland population of over 1.5 million? And a UK total of over 60 million? Wow! Decisive, eh? | 0 | en |
