By Joe McVeigh During the Covid pandemic and the Lockdown (2020-2022), I was blessed to have to stay at home though it did not seem like a blessing at the time. It was during that time that I rediscovered the wonder of nature. My garden was alive with the sound of music –the birds […]

PAT+JUDE TALK ABOUT MISOGYNY &THE MEDIA, JEFFREY’S HAIR-CUT, & HOW WE TREAT TRAVELLERS
Nicola Sturgeon says that she knew nothing of the embezzlement of SNP funds by her ex-husband. Do you believe her? Jeffrey Donaldson is knee-deep in his trial , so we have to be very careful about what we say. But that hair-cut – where did he get it and was it a good […]
Who the fuck does Israel Katz think he is?
Have all our brains been scrambled? Do we now pass by the helpless on the side of the road and turn our head the other way? How much more chutspah and inhumanity must issue from Israel before we say “Enough! This stops NOW!”? Listen to this, for example: “Israeli’s defence minister says large-scale Palestinian migration […]
JD Vance must read Jude Collins’s blogsite
No sooner had Jude Collins posted my blog about JDVance and what it means to be ‘a devout Catholic’ than he commented on Pope Leo’s encylical Magnifica Humanitas. JD must have been reading Jude’s site and decided he had better get a comment out and this is what he had to say quoted in Our […]

PAT+ JUDE TALK ABOUT THE FLOTILLA,, ANDREW & HIS INNOCENCE, & MONEY GIVES A. POLITICAL LEG-UP
How did you respond to the sight of the Israeli minister Itamar Ben Gvir mocking the flotilla people whom Israel had kidnapped in international waters(war crime) and strutted about telling them they were welcome to Israel? The event was filmed, so the Israelis must have been OK with that. Did they show it so […]
Arrogant, amoral Israel
I was really glad to see that video clip of Israeli treatment of people seized from that aid-providing flotilla headed for Gaza. I was glad when Israeli minister Ben-Gvir was shown mocking them and taunting them. I was happy that the members of the flotilla were shown with their hands tied behind their back, kneeling […]
If I was a rich man
Money is an attention-magnet. If you’re in a restaurant, say, and a man walks by your table, you may or may not pay attention to him. But if somebody mentions that he’s a hugely rich man, worth many millions, however spiritual you are, you’ll swivel and gawk at him like everybody else. Philip O’Doherty […]
DUP fear and loathing of the fada
The Democratic Unionist Party’s relationship with the Irish language has long resembled a man reacting to a toaster as if it were an unexploded bomb. Mention bilingual signage, an Irish-medium school, or the phrase céad míle fáilte, and somewhere in DUP headquarters a siren seems to go off. The language isn’t treated as a […]
