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 and the PR Battle – by Michael Lagan
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 […]
PAT+ JUDE TALK ABOUT ONE CRAZY ISRAELI, FLOODING & THE FUTURE, AND MICHEÁl MARTIN AND HIS FUTURE
So – what comes next in the Middle East? After the Israelis have achieved their objective of wiping out Hamas – as well as massive numbers of innocent Palestinians – what happens?

American duplicity mirrored in Ireland – by Fra Hughes
Western media is full of stories of Biden and Blinken calling for a pause in the ongoing Israeli one sided war on Gaza. Gazans have no standing army,no tanks,no warships no f35 stealth bombers. Palestinian resistance have not dropped over 24,000 tons of bombs on the civilian population and infrastructure […]
PAT+JUDE TALK ABOUT KILLING CHILDREN, AI AND NEVER WORKING AGAIN, AND LEO IN KOREA
Men, women and children buried beneath undiscriminating rubble. Is there anything new to what’s happening in Gaza?
