The Daily PollIT’S (ALMOST) THAT time of year again.
We’re not quite at the point of the year for for chestnuts roasting on an open fire, yuletide joy, mass hysteria, and all the other stuff that goes with Christmas.
However, there are decorations already hanging in shops across the country and the festive fanatics may be starting to get into swing of holiday movie marathons and playing Christmas music from their cars.
But is it too early for all of that? Should the tunes wait until the end of the month, or well into December?
Today we’re asking… Is it acceptable to play Christmas music yet?

The article is very light on detail and heavy on buzzwords. The reality is business and trade is the only way the world’s poor can become less poor – poverty doesn’t need an explanation only wealth does. Trocaire and the like arent going to reduce poverty only capitalism will. Regulations and rules that are fit for a first world country would act as barriers to development for poor countries. Would China have been able to develop so quickly and lift so many people pit of poverty if they had EU standard regulations on labour etc. No of course not
Why for a change doesn’t she propose a total seizure of the “offshore” assets of these unfortunate country’s elites and their return to them under a proper Sovereign Weath fund structure, for social and economic development. Give the so called owners home currency 25 year bonds in exchange.
As for the climate change issue, that will only be dealt with when the burning of vast quantities of coal for power baseloading, is near totally replaced by new generation nuclear and combined Red Hydrogen production, like now being developed in Japan.

@Nicholas Grubb: You are misinformed shout Nuclear and red hydrogen. Nuclear plants require a minimum of 15 years to build and bring on line. Even then, we have no viable option for disposing of nuclear waste. The use of red hydrogen requires a whole need infrastructure for this hazardous and explosive fuel.
Trocaire should stick to what they know and do best. They are not qualified to comment on scientific matters like climate change.
