Given the woke left and Black Life Matters movement’s obsession with the architectural vestiges of the vile slave trade that was abolished in the 1800s in the west, you would imagine that they might be exercised by the existence of modern slavery. It would appear not. Much easier to draw up lists of statues and […]
Some of you will be familiar with Dr. Ebun Joseph – perhaps for her brave exposure of the ‘racist’ practises of the Galway hotel which served her with Ribena blackcurrant instead of red wine. She described the unfortunate serving staff who made what anyone could see was a simple error as ‘sick’ and ‘racist’. She […]
There have been many comparisons made between the riots that began in the United States on May 25 and past outbreaks of underclass destruction. Los Angeles 1992 is most often referred to but that was very much localized and did not spread to any significant extent to other cities, despite 1992 having been one of […]
It would seem that some of those involved in last weekend’s protest opposing American racism would rather like to transform this “movement” comprising the rag tag and bobtail of the ultra-left into one focusing on alleged racism in Ireland. Since the protest – which has now been found to have breached social distancing regulations even though […]
Earlier this year we addressed the role of the ‘Care Bears‘ the so-called Non Governmental Organisations (NGOs) and their symbiotic relationship with the state. It might be interesting then to see how they have survived the fraught first five months of 2020, especially in their self-advertised claim to have played a role in combating coronavirus. The […]
In Gulliver’s Travels Swift describes how the great Empires of Lilliput and Blefescu had been at war for six and thirty moons over which end of a boiled egg to break before eating it. Today’s battle between the Big Distancers of the Principality of Castleknock, with the support of an array of courtiers and Doctors of […]
This week could prove to be a decisive one in the crisis over the future of Hong Kong. The Chinese National Peoples Congress is in session and will vote and approve measures to tighten Beijing’s police and intelligence powers over the heretofore semi autonomous region. The new Security Law extends Chinese powers to deal with […]
Donald Trump has several times referred to the possibility of using the anti-malarial drug hydroxychloroquine as a preventative against coronavirus. Despite not being the only person to do so, and despite the fact that the use of the drug is being subject to many clinical trials, Trump’s statement, and his May 18 reference to taking […]
I don’t know if it is just myself and my incompetence with the interweb, but it seems to be more difficult with each day to find accurate statistics on the Covid 19 crisis. Few mainstream outlets, and certainly not official ones, provide easily accessible data on some of the key aspects of how the pandemic has […]
One of the interesting phenomena associated with the virus lockdown is the alacrity with which certain people have embraced the whole notion of extending state control over further parts of civil society and individual behaviour. It is also noteworthy that far from this being opposed by the left, many of that persuasion have embraced all […]
The Scottish shipyards and mines were one of the few places in Britain where the Communist Party gained a foothold. Beginning with the Red Clydeside strikes against World War I, communists remained influential within the trade union movement until the 1980s. Communist Party of Great Britain (CPGB) members Mick McGahey of the National Union of […]
The fates have clearly conspired to deny Dublin a six-in-a-row. Or have they? Perhaps our focus for a source of the virus ought not to be on Wuhan but Lyrecrompane? You would not be up to them. On a more serious note, it would seem that the GAA inter county season will fall victim to the […]
