So in a world of near infinite media outlets, I daily find myself struck but what people think and where they get their information from. So I have a couple of questions for the site.

First of all who knows who I'm talking about in the title?

Second, where do you get your news?

Third, how many hours a week do you listen to or think about news/current events

Fourth, how's your day going?

I enjoy news/current events. I spend on average maybe two to three hours per day keeping up on the latest.

At the moment not so much about what's going on with America but Europe with Brexit. I am from Ireland so it is advantageous for me to keep up-to-date with the latest. I use RTE (my national broadcaster) and the BBC to get the news - although I find BBC less informative then RTE. Brexit is a mess, quite frankly - absolutely abysmal. The island of Ireland needs the backstop to maintain the status quo and to preserve the Good Friday Agreement that was so critical in creating peace for the past twenty years on the island of Ireland

It is abysmal that there is less than 42 days left, there is a great failure in the negotiating process generally - that the UK have come to this point where they don't have the clarity that one would expect after two years of arduous negotiation. A no-deal looks more likely with every passing day which would bring about catastrophic consequences.

I think a lot on the British side (in particular the hard brexiters I.e Boris, Farage, Mogg etc) do not fully understand the frailty of the Good Friday Agreement and the importance it played and continues to play in the peace process. A lot of people worked tirelessly the bring about the GFA such as Blair, Ahern, Clinton to name a few.

It is a pity that The UK voted to leave the E.U but Ireland musn't suffer. I hope the E.U block stay firm on the Backstop.

Agree completely. It really should go to a people's vote on what course of action to take next. I am pretty certain that the British people didn't vote for what we are witnessing now. People's jobs are at risk too with all the uncertainty surrounding a no-deal scenario with all the big companies relocating like we are hearing in the news. For whatever reason Jeremy Corbyn seems against a people's vote. The best outcome in the short-term is a extension to article 50 but it will only be extended to mid-may with the European elections coming up.

It looks very likely, Johan, according Jean-Claude Juncker (President of the European Commission) today. That same thing has entered my mind. Every thing could be double or triple the price.

Yeah, I know how you feel.

I either rent from my library or blind buy.

I use to download but have stopped now. I have become more cautious now.
