A CULTURE OF LOUTISH INTLORANCE IN HAMMERSMITH IRISH CENTRE? by Donal Kennedy

I have fond memories of Hammersmith, dancing to “The March of the Mods”
by Joe Loss in December 1964,  and enjoying the Chieftains’ sessions in
one of its pubs a few years later. Many decades later, in fact early this year,
I enjoyed the brilliant dramatisation of the written memoirs of Sean Moylan
in the Hammersmith Irish Cultural Centre.
 
The  loutish intolerance was suffered and reported by Jack Lane, the Octogenarian
Chairman of the Aubane Historical Society in this month’s Irish Political Review.
 
Jack’s only weapons are a powerful intelligence and a commitment to spreading
the truth.He has had major surgery in recent years.
 
One Roland Phillips was promoting his book “Broken Archangel:The Tempestuous
Lives of Roger Casement”  in the Irish Cultural  Centre in Hammersmith, on November
27th.
 
Athol Books has been alone in re-publishing authentic works of Casement which shatter the British narrative of origins of the 1914- 1918 War. 
    There was no sleep-walking into that war. It was meticulously planned from the
     signing of the Entente Cordiale in 1904. Lloyd George, a bit wet about the ears
     was disabused by Lord Rosebery, as he tells us in the first paragraph of his
     War Memoirs. The Political Memoirs of C.P. Scott reveal the plans for the sending
     of a British Expeditionary Force to France in 1911 which were carried out to the letter
     and the minute in 1914 without a flaw.
 
Jack Lane has been instrumental in having those documents republished. Jack and Paul Hyde have proven the unreliability of the stories spread about “diaries” which never saw the  light of day and the sleight of hand of Brian Inglis
 
Roland Phillips accepts the Black Diaries and falsely claims that they had been scientifically tested as regards paper, ink and  DNA.
 
Jack tried to question  Phillips but was asked to leave for causing disruption.
 
Taxpayers in Ireland help fund the Centre and it has a cosy relationship with British Royalty.
 
One of its Patrons is Fergal Keane OBE,  Professorial  Fellow of Liverpool University.
 
I have had occasion to critically examine his work for many decades. on them

    May I beg your pardon for a couple of typos? My hand and eye coordination is not what it used to .

    LOUTISH INTOLERANCE and the promotion of lies are poor advertisements for any cultural centre.

    MAY I BEG COMMENTS? I welcome challenges to my pieces. They are about truth and justice and their absence.

    I AM NOT INFALLIBLE, But like the Piano Player in Montana premises I’m doing my best.
    I pray you don’t shoot me.
