  Over many decades I have read acres of garbage written by Stephen Collins for the Irish Times and its controlling “Trust” established by British Foreign Office spooks and Harold Wilson’s crooked fixer, Lord Goodman, and not one square millimetre of truth, wisdom or wit. Today the paper has published a letter demolishing his claim […]

      We human beings are a rum lot. We react to the plight of others, sometimes with indifference, sometimes with compassion. The odd thing is, if the person comes to us and asks for our compassion, we’re less likely to give it. I found myself in such a position a couple of nights […]

  That Chinese balloon the Yanks shot down – was it China flexing its muscles, or the US getting up-tight about a weather balloon? Liz Truss. What a woman. She practically tanks the UK economy, and then in the Daily Telegraph  blames a left-wing conspiracy for her downfall. Don’t try to make it up – […]

I am just off the phone from a conversation with one of my sons who lives in London. We were talking about ChatGPT and as we spoke, he put in these two questions and the result. Amazing. ChatGPT talks more sense in three minutes than 90% of DUP politicians talk in a lifetime… Judge for […]

Jude remarked (4 Feb) on mantras, including Tony Blair’s “Education, Education, Education.”   I first took notice of Blair, hearing him on the radio Adressing the Labour Party Conference as Shadow Home Secretary.   He came out with the soundbite “Tough On Crime, Tough on the Causes of Crime.”   I wrote that day to […]

  The British government has announced that there will be a public inquiry into the Omagh bomb, in which thirty-one people, including a woman with two unborn twins, were killed. Why is the British government doing this now, whereas repeated attempts to have an inquiry were denied? Cui bono – who will gain from this? […]

David Holden was a British soldier and he fired a machine gun which killed Aidan McAnespie when a bullet from it pierced his back. Holden yesterday was given a suspended sentence of three years for manslaughter. There are those who say this was unfair – to Holden. Do you agree?

Well. Just when you were about to throw up your hands and cry “The UK has gone mad as the ERG and the DUP have a strangle-hold on it, and so it will never dare accept any curb on its economic activity!” – even as your hands head heaven-wards, word comes through – they’ve done […]

  Though the Catholic Bishops of Ireland collectively supported the British appointed Provisional Government of 1922, and acquiesced in its murder of its Republican prisoners, that irregular junta, stuffed full of pietistic Catholics, chose not to  follow the normal European practice of giving workers a day’s break from work so that they were free to […]
