@infobeautiful it's a funny quirk of numbers that sees Northern Ireland so pale as to look like it's not included, much like the maps like the weather forecasts that only show the area covered by Met Eireann

And I thought I was helping by not having children because I was told the planet would be overpopulated 🤷🏻

@infobeautiful I find this really confusing.
1) the toggle is automated, meaning I don't have time to get my eye in to what I'm seeing before it changes
2) the with/without toggle is arranged the opposite way around to the -75 to +75 scale
3) I'd have assumed darker colours = more intense = positive meaning, so "more/with immigration"
