I’ve just been rereading BLOGS including THE MORAL COMPASS OF GORDON BROWN (July 8 2019) IS GORDON BROWN HUMBUG ? […]
DOUGLAS MURRAY AND GORDON BROWN – TWO TURDS OF A FEATHER? – by Donal Kennedy
I think it was 2008 when I first became aware of Douglas Kear Murray, then aged 29. The Sunday Times reported that he had written a play about Raoul Wallenberg, a heroic Swede who had negotiated the safety of thousands of Jews in Hungary who would otherwise have been murdered by the NAZI […]
PAT+ JUDE TALK ABOUT POLITICIANS & GAZA, HOW MEN ACT TOWARDS WOMEN, & PETR CECH PLAYS ICE-HOCKEY
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: a moral man
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 […]
Why Israel is attacking the Al Shifa hospital – by Fra Hughes
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 . […]
PAT+JUDE TALK ABOUT SUELLA, DAVID AND RISHI ; ABOUT SF & 0PINION POLLS; & REMEMBRANCE SUNDAY
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 […]
The Dublin media: the biters get bit
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. […]
PAT+JUDE TALK ABOUT SUELLA & HATE-MARCHERS, UNIONISTS & THE WINDSOR FRAMEWORK, & JOSEF PUSKA, KILLER
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 […]
An Irish-American who remembers – by Michael J Cummings
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 […]
Are Ben, Joe and Rishi headed for the Hague?
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 […]
