Can you provide a link? Considering I work in the Irish Government, Dept of Foreign Affairs, I would appreciate you providing what it is that HMG has offered, that we the Irish Government have accepted and that you claim the EU will not allow. Please I'll wait. (For those of you not aware the commentator is talking complete bollox.)


A rational business person would attempt to sell it. They would also keep the websites and content online with advertising systems intact as to allow for some residual revenue. This guy didn't attempt to sell the business and had the websites and archives deleted.


Though I agree that it is spite, the article states that the archives are back up as of now.


Walt Mossberg‏ @waltmossberg Perspective: Mac revenues alone in Apple’s qtr just released were $7+ billion. At an annual rate, that would put the Mac in the Fortune 100.

Is Walt correct on this?


If they do a quarter like this past one for macs for the upcoming three quarters then Mac sales would be on the cusp of being in the Fortune 100, not just in the 500!

This is a fantastic read. I can not stop laughing.

"Will we have a CRYING PILE OF POO next? PILE OF POO WITH TONGUE STICKING OUT? PILE OF POO WITH QUESTION MARKS FOR EYES? PILE OF POO WITH KARAOKE MIC? Will we have to encode a neutral FACELESS PILE OF POO?”


What blows my mind is that you believe it.

From the same report what White American's (Conservatives's) think/believe:

“The political climate is focused on repressing Caucasians, especially white males.”

“I believe that BLM and Antifa are terrorist groups and are as antithetical to the United States as any neo-Nazi group or white nationalist group.”

“I don’t believe climate change is happening because of humans.”

“I work in a totally PC environment and if I dare state that I feel homosexuality or sexual promiscuity is not in line with what the Bible teaches, I feel attacked and accused of being insensitive.”

“Blacks can have things that are just for them, but no one else can.”


But, those are just about beliefs. None of those have to do with the establishment of laws. 51% of democrats (a majority!) want to establish a law punishing people for not using the right words.


This has all the signs of a failed state. A government (US) that won't and can't provide the basic recovery assistance after a major natural disaster.


I see all the EU state aid and Single Market specialists are on here giving there expert opinions.


Is it listed as a news article ?

Twice in the header of the page are the words Opinion.


My point is that a political opinion piece has very little informational value.


Not much affect with regards to the EU as net neutrality became EU law in 2015.


There are 54 representatives from member countries that decide the funding allocation. This funding was directed at the Digital sectors in the Nordic countries; Denmark, Finland and Sweden.
