          “FOLEY -‘ UNSUNG HERO OF THE HOLOCAUST’- A REPLY TO JAMES CASEMENT AND MICHAEL SMITH”       Prince William might be well advised to rethink his endorsement of an insupportable fairy tale about Frank Foley.   British Intelligence bankrolled Mussolini’s newspaper from 1917. George V dubbed Mussolini a Knight of […]

Matthew O’Toole – who could well end up as the SDLP leader one fine day – has an article in The Irish Times this morning. “To what extent is the UK state which agreed to the Belfast Agreement in 1998, with all its attendant commitments and understandings, still in existence?”  He goes on to list […]

.   It would be an insult to our feathered friends to describe the catch-cry “A Woman’s Right to Choose” as bird-brained. “Choose” is, I believe, a transitive verb, which, left standing or hanging alone means, sweet Fanny Adams. Catch-cries are fashioned to attract applause from the unthinking, which is why they may be dismissed […]

  St Patrick’s Day 1943 was the 50th Anniversary of the founding of The Gaelic League, and the co-founder Douglas Hyde, the Protestant son of a Church of Ireland clergyman was President of Ireland. Virtually alone in Europe the Irish State was at peace. Before the outbreak of war in 1939 most of the world […]

The rejection by the American Supreme Court of the Roe v Wade judgement, which affects abortion provision in the US, looks like sending shock waves that could even reach Europe. Pat and I try to look at the issue without screaming at each other. Has Mick Lynch changed how people see themselves, by breaking the […]

        Further to my BLOG “Irony and Prince William” (June 24)   I referred to how the Prince had been fooled into the nonsensical belief that MI6 Agent Frank Foley, while accredited to the British Embassy in Berlin risked his skin to rescue Jews from the Holocaust. Foley served in the British  Embassy in Berlin […]

Former government minister Alan Shatter’s appeal in the Irish Times (June 13th) for the Dáil to adopt the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA) Working Definition of Anti-Semitism in a new action plan is both dishonest and misleading. Any policy document which equates criticism of Israeli government policies with antIsemitism should give us all great cause […]

I realise that to enter a discussion on abortion is to invite rage, especially if you believe that a human life is at the centre of the abortion. But the decision of the US Supreme Court on the Roe v Wade case calls for some hard thinking. So here are six random thoughts. The striking […]

  Posing as a benefactor of the Homeless, Prince William, Duke of Cambridge, was recently professionally photographed and just as professionally publicised by paid sycophants in the media. Despite his education at Durham University the Prince seems an innocent abroad without the curiosity to investigate what his spin-doctors put before him. Thus he was prevailed upon […]

        What does Census 2022 tell us about Ireland and its population? It tells us that the population of the south is now the biggest it’s been since 1851. So is that good news for the southern state? Or will the housing problem be able to cope? DominIc Cummings is now recasting […]
