  Northern Irish Unionism can blame no one but itself for the predicament it is in at this very moment.  It wasn’t involved nearly as much in the Windsor Framework negotiations clearly due to the fact that when the DUP was in a king-maker role in Westminster during the Protocol negotiations, it exerted so much […]

They’re using heroin in Scotland – only this time it’s legal. A medical area has been set up, where users can legally take their fix. Is providing fix facilities the best route to dealing with this problem? By now you’ve probably heard about that sycamore tree that has stood in a gap at Adrian’s Wall […]

Partition was inherently unjust and could never last. It is interesting that a founder member of the DUP, Wallace Thompson, has recently stated that a united Ireland is inevitable. I believe he is saying out loud what many unionists are thinking. From my earliest days, many in my community regarded Partition not just as a […]

:   Leo Varadker, Soul Brother of the late Hitler Shirt-wearing* Ernst Rohm, has been to Kiev to worship the junta there and to dishonour the memory of Eamon de Valera, probably the most rational, ethical and successful public figure of the twentieth century.   I mean to support my contention with irrefutable argument at […]

  I run ‘Cobh Rebel Walking Tours’ here in Co. Cork.     As a result, I am met with guests of all nationalities who visit here to learn all about our war of independence and Irish history in general, each year.   I want to tell you about some of those guests and the conversations […]

       There are deceitful people who ask the population if they’d vote for a reunited Ireland or staying the UK tomorrow. Yes, we know how it is to be in the UK (you get your wishes on remaining in the EU cast aside, for starters); but we don’t what work is required to […]

That’s the North’s biggest nationalist newspaper urging a specific, important step on the journey to Irish unity.  I am pleased and a little surprised that they’ve […]

    I’ve just listened to some people on Talkback discussing  the singing of ‘Zombie’ at the week-end rugby match, and the singing of ‘Celtic Symphony’  by crowds at a Wolfe Tones concert. Much was made of ‘Zombie’ being a song that did a not-in-my-name about the Troubles. Then there was a mention of some […]

      Stormont is falling down – literally. There ‘s a big problem with the roof, the ceiling in the canteen is leaking, and similar problems. Is Stormont a suitable place to foster reconciliation anyway?   Lough Neagh is full of scum (be quiet, Virginia) and ex-Undertone Feargal Sharkey says Edwin Poots has contributed […]
