Now feels like a modern European capital. 80pc said they felt more European since Brexit. And by 83-17 they said Gerry Adams deserved Nobel peace prize more than Trump !

If ever you needed a front page to capture the crass yet also dangerous silliness of so much of our media, and the impact of right wing nationalism which has done so much harm through a history from which some seem so unable to learn
