PAT + JUDE TALK ABOUT QE2 & TAX-DODGING, NIGEL F & RNLI, THE OLYMPICS, & IS MICHAEL D OVER-WORKED?
Is there change in the airwaves? RTÉ have, over the last while, shown two documentaries – Unquiet Graves about the Loughinisland killings in 1994 and this week Massacre in Ballymurphy, about the killings in Ballymurphy in 1971. Why was RTÉ so silent over the decades about the deaths of Catholics in the north? It must […]
Smoke and mirrors – by Mik Ferran (and a link to a Prince Philip article)
The thought came to me that Boris J might make the Six Counties his Falklands in a Glorious Defence of the Union, not that again ? (sigh).

MARKETING PORKIE PIES PAST THEIR SELL-BY DATES by Donal Kennedy

It has been stated by an ex soccer star turned journalist that Haughey moved from a modest semi-detached house on the Howth Road to Kinsealy after using inside knowledge, as Finance Minister […]
By-elections and bonfires

Will Victims and Families Actually get Truth in Place of Justice? – by Michael Lagan
I It has taken less than a fortnight for Brandon Lewis’s ‘Statute of Limitations’ or what is more commonly known as an amnesty, to fall apart.

NAILING DISINFORMATION – by Donal Kennedy
Activists for political and social democracy in Ireland under British rule have always done so at the peril of their lives. Think Derry in October 1968 and January 1972 or any part of the freak six-county statelet. Persons feeding the satraps of the British State or the lesser statelet with information putting pro-democracy activists and […]
