It’d be safe to say that the majority of people in Britain and Ireland favour a ceasefire in Gaza. Yet our politicians refuse to vote for such a motion: the best they can bring themselves to call for is a temporary halt. Are these politicians brainless as well as heartless   ‘Up Front With Katie […]

John Cushnahan, former Alliance Party leader and Fine Gael MEP, had a letter in the Irish Times.  In it he took Sinn Fein to task for criticising the Israel bombardment of Gaza which has led to the deaths of over 11,000 people, including women, children and infants. Not that John, a former Alliance Party leader […]

    No water,no medicine,no fuel,no food,no hope : that is the daily reality of life for Gazans suffering under these unbearable, intolerable vicious unwarranted attacks.   All of the above facts are crimes against humanity and war crimes under the 4th Geneva convention. Article 18 refers specifically to the safe guarding of hospitals . […]

Goodbye Suella Braverman,  hello (again) David Cameron. Not many of us saw Cameron coming back but most of us knew it was either Rishi or Suella,  so a guy’s gotta do what a guy’s gotta do. The latest opinion polls show Sinn Féin leading by 6% in the North and by – wait for it […]

        I’ve just come from watching Mark Carruthers get all aggressive with Mary Lou McDonald. Mark was speaking up for the Dublin media, which apparently are very upset with Sinn Féin.  You may say “So what else is new? The Dublin media are forever putting the boot into Sinn Féin”.   True. […]

Suella Braverman, the British Home Secretary, has declared pro-Palestinian marches as hate marches, and has predicted civil disorder if the big pro-Palestine march in London goes ahead tomorrow. Is she saying this because she believes it, or because it might advance her ambitions? It appears the DUP refusal to accept the Windsor Framework isn’t just […]

Friends—The British think they have had the last word on Northern Ireland: mocking the Good Friday obligations;  the criminal cover-up of their legacy of murder; and the dismissal of any Irish unity referendum for “a long, long time.”  The American Brexit Committee thinks otherwise.  If America is to display any spine,  sense of justice and respect […]

  A few questions this morning, to see if your moral compass has been bent into a horse-shoe shape.   Do you think Israel has been and is guilty of war crimes? That’s pretty easy – YES. Long before October 7, it kept the Palestinian people, or 2.3 million of them living on the Gaza […]

  The DUP has long had a problem with women.  Was it a dream I had, or did DUP party members make mooing sounds when members of the Women’s Coalition stood up to speak? You might want to argue that the DUP  did make a woman – Arlene Foster – the party leader; but it […]

  Israel is losing the PR battle in the West.  The genocidal-level bombings and slaughter of innocent Palestinians in the Gaza Strip and indeed refugee camps (in their own country) have disgusted the world so much that even American Jews are showing up in their droves at pro-Palestinian rallies.  Israel is losing the PR battle […]
