EM & ME, on 'Coffee and a Mike'
An explosive conversation about what’s really going down in Europe, and where it’s going . . . 'unless' . . .
The Unpretty Future of Western Nations
This quite recent exchange (Monday, August 11th) with EM Burlingame, under the watchful moderation of Mike Farris (Coffee and a Mike), is perhaps the most important conversation I’ve been involved in since the start of the ‘trouble’ in 2020. To a high degree it completes my ‘drystone wall’ — the ‘map of meaning’ I’ve been attempting from the beginning — especially, though by no means exclusively, in respect of the fate of my own beloved country, Ireland. The auguries are dark, the options limited. This, I am convinced, is very close to the total unpretty truth about our future, yours and mine.
