What’s ironic about this, of course, is that the apology is for the killing of Lord Mountbatten, who, as Lord High Admiral and First Sea Lord, was probably a legitimate military target, if you subscribe to the view that the IRA was fighting a war, as McDonald presumably does. Where’s the apology for killing Nicholas […]
Here is one of the most extraordinary stories to come out of Ireland since the beginning of the pandemic, and one, you can be sure, that won’t get much media attention anywhere else.

The bill will introduce several aggravated offences which will increase penalties for crimes “motivated by prejudice.” Assuming, of course, that those offences are targeted at those with “protected characteristics.” Race; colour; nationality; religion, ethnic or national origin; sexual orientation; […]
“Fear really drives numbers,” said Charlie Chester, a technical director at CNN, during a series of fake Tinder dates set up by Project Veritas. “Covid? Gangbusters with ratings,” Chester told the undercover journalist. “Which is why we constantly have the death toll on the side. It would make our point better if [the death toll] […]
