  • I love practical gifts. But I also love indulgent gifts sometimes that I could never justify spending money on myself. My parents are older, so now they don't like anything that creates more clutter, they like consumable things or experiences. It's also worth bearing in mind, if someone lives in a little flat, don't give them knick knacks, there's no room for them!



  • The net result of enlargement is indubitably a net drain on EU finances, pretending otherwise is staggeringly dishonest. Their invasion is despicable, but the long road to EU accession should not be shortcut by the fact of Russian aggression. Pre-war Ukraine has myriad problems that have yet to be solved (massive corruption, for example) and are even harder to solve during wartime.

    Supporting Ukraine militarily and financially against Russian aggression is morally and pragmatically the correct choice, but that does not necessarily mean membership of the EU - yet.
