“…Both Lazar and Goldschmidt have confirmed that thousands of Jews have left Russia since the war broke out. In an interview with Deutche Welle last week, Goldschmidt said a “very significant part” of Russian Jewry, which had 155,000 members according to a 2020 demographic survey, had left and that another “significant part of thinking of leaving.” Other rabbis in Russia have also spoken publicly about the circumstances driving the emigration. Boruch Gorin, an influential Chabad rabbi living in Moscow and a spokesperson for Lazar, is on record as citing “a very worrisome political and social climate.” Chasing away rabbis and potentially shuttering synagogues, something that Russian authorities have done in the past to retaliate against dissent, would not help the popularity of the war, which is already having an increasingly polarizing effect on Russian society.”
Well it looks like the war will soon be over judging by the captured territories

Hey John and Nick, I can see why, reading so many self satisfied – I love you but – comments, you have had enough. Can you let us know the extent of any current legal threats? The jokes aside, you have provided an incredible journalist service over the years, and if you are under threat I think we should know. Take care.
Your answer lies here. No clickbait, no anti-vax that led to this. Simply a post clarifying to its readers issues that had arisen regarding a contributor, already published in another publication interestingly not sued. Possibly commenter comments on the post did not help either, but when will Broadsheet commenters ever admit responsibility for anything (see above). One interesting point is that, under company law, directors of a company cannot speak for the company in legal proceedings, therefore they have to employ lawyers. Even a Langwallner or an LCD can only act if instructed by another set of lawyers. It would have been an interesting case to have been argued in court…
No chance – trying to control the content of posts would be too much. The link to the ‘contact us’ page would be on 90% of them. Especially, ahem, Boxy’s.

You went from being an empathetic, witty, insightful commenter, who often had a thoughtful, funny take on life, to the argumentative, entitled bully you are now. Just look to the disgusting comments in yesterday’s post: ad hominem attacks, assigning blame, and wishing ill on everyone who ever disagreed with you. Nobody made those on your behalf.

Mortgage holders bracing for higher costs as ECB set to start raising interest rates from next month:
“Prominent loyalist Winston ‘Winkie’ Irvine has been arrested by police investigating a hoax bomb alert targeting Irish government minister Simon Coveney.”
Congratulations are in order for TCD which has finally managed to force its way back in as Ireland’s solitary university in the list of the world’s top 100 unis.
No 98 in fact.
A quick glance at the list shows that good old Blighty has 17 unis in the top 100 and 4 in the global top TEN alone.
In the latest rankings Cambridge is 2nd, Oxford 4th, Imperial 6th, UCL 8th.
The US is Blighty’s only challenger with MIT 1st, Stanford 3rd and Harvard 5th.
There is only one EU university in the top 50.
As you know I’ve been concerned for some time about the poor level of intelligence shown by many posters on Broadsheet and Ireland’s deteriorating standards in third level education as either a sympton or a cause.
So a jump of three places for TCD should be applauded.
In fairness like.

Congratulations are in order for TCD which has finally managed to force its way back in as Ireland’s solitary university in the list of the world’s top 100 unis.
No 98 in fact.
A quick glance at the list shows that good old Blighty has 17 unis in the top 100 and 4 in the global top TEN alone.
In the latest rankings Cambridge is 2nd, Oxford 4th, Imperial 6th, UCL 8th.
The US is Blighty’s only challenger with MIT 1st, Stanford 3rd and Harvard 5th.
There is only one EU university in the top 50.
As you know I’ve been concerned for some time about the poor level of intelligence shown by many posters on Broadsheet and Ireland’s deteriorating standards in third level education as either a sympton or a cause.
So a jump of three places for TCD should be applauded.
In fairness like.
Splendid™

A short time ago the fragrant Lady TenPin enquired ” shall we get pissed on White Ladies tonight ”
By jove wasn’t it a brilliant idea.
A cocktail staple if a little underrated these days it’s been yonks since we’ve had one.
Dead simple to make – London Dry Gin, Cointreau, Lemon juice and Egg white.
I’ve just sent her off to get the fresh lemons.
Bloomin’ marvellous idea to perk things up as it’s all getting a bit maudlin around here.
Splendid™
