Did you watch the Olympics swimming last evening? To be precise, did you watch the 800 metres free-style final for men? Of course you did – OF COURSE YOU DID.  Because Daniel Wiffen was tipped to do the business,  he did the business, and this morning he is the proud holder of an Olympic gold […]

February 1, 1994 Ulster’s Man of the Dark By EDNA O’BRIEN BELFAST, Northern Ireland — Gerry Adams is something of a mystery. His enclave in the Falls Road in West Belfast is row on row of diminutive red-brick houses cleaved together, his flock 100,000 or so Roman Catholics. And his calling in recent months has […]

Why do I feel so elated over Armagh winning the All-Ireland Football Final? It’s not as if I’ve any affiliation with Armagh – I have met a few Armagh people and have found them invariably friendly and articulate. In fact I remember fado fado interviewing primary school kids about their pets.  I wasn’t really interested […]

Did you watch the All-Ireland Football Final? I did but I don’t think Jim Allister did, because never mind Croke Park and Jarlath Burns and Jarly Óg, Jim is very offended that the GAA would name a GAA cup after a ‘terrorist’.   And how did you find the opening ceremony of the Olympics? I […]

Maybe you thought they’d gone away? Uh-uh. The Orangemen of Portadown have applied for the right to march down the Garvaghy Road, since Sunday will be All-Ireland day and all the Armagh nationalists will be watching the game. What could go wrong? Carla Lockhart MP says it’s an example of ‘positive thinking’ by the Orangemen. […]

      Nearly 160 reporters, mainly from Aljazeera have been murdered by Zionists in Gaza in the past nine months, and yesterday 164,000 Palestinians whose homes had been destroyed and had been repeatedly driven from whatever flimsy shelter they could erect were ordered by the Zionists to move into another target area for Israeli […]

        At the moment we are in thrall to Sir Scammer and his minions one of whom, Reeves, happens to be Chancellor of the Exchequer. She said recently “I’m not going to be able to magic money out of nowhere”, as if she couldn’t possibly know how government really spends. She is […]

    One Easter, over 30 years ago Michael Gove first attracted my attention, declaring, in THE TIMES that the 1916 Insurgents were “a squalid gang who betrayed Ireland.” I dismissed him at the time as a “Stupid Boy” like Private Pike in “Dad’s Army.” No jury tried the Insurgent Leaders shot by the British […]
