TIME FOR THE PROLETARIAT TO RISE
I have just noticed that our great political commentators from both wings of our sectarian divide have had a eureka moment and have concluded that Stormont does not work. This has been true for at least a decade and a half, and in fact, it goes back to 1998 when this oxymoronic political structure was…

HANUKKAH VIOLATED
Apologies, I promised I wouldn’t write another blog until the start of 2026 On Sunday, the 14th of December, two gunmen, father and son, killed 15 Jews who were at a festival on Bondi Beach celebrating Hanukkah. Is this antisemitism? Of course, it is, so this terror attack must be unreservedly condemned. A 43-year-old man…

Apologies, My End-of-Year Rant 2025
Once again, another embarrassing and tragic year for our species has passed. Firstly, let us start off with the genocide in Gaza, where the death toll passed 70,000, which includes 20,000 children and not yet counted the many thousands who remain under 50,000 tonnes of rubble. We have a ceasefire where all the October 7…

Public Service Broadcasters, Under Attack: It’s OUR BBC!!!!!
Let me start by saying that the daft mistake of splicing Donald Trump’s January 20 speech, in which he encouraged the overturning of a fair and free election, has now been acknowledged by the BBC, and an unreserved apology has been made to the world’s most famous narcissist and “pussy grabber”. Trump is the man…

A War of Words: Playing Identity Politics as Rome Burns.
We, by which I mean ordinary citizens of this dysfunctional political system, have just appointed 3 people into three non-jobs, the Commissioner of the Irish Language, Pol Deed, Lee Reynolds, Commissioner for Gibberish, and Ulster British Tradition, whatever that is and finally Katy Radford as the Director of the Office of Identity and Cultural Expression,…

Two privileged men at Prayer
I have, unfortunately, been watching King Charles’s state visit to the Vatican to meet Pope Leo and listening to a bunch of other male cardinals and bishops waxing about the importance of the visit. The first thing that struck me was, where is the newly appointed and first female Archbishop of Canterbury? Apparently, she was…

A Human Rights Professor?
Colin Harvey wrote an article in the Irish News on the 29th August 2025, to which I sent a response to the Irish News Editor, Chris Sherrard, who said it was a “well-written response” and if I was in agreement, he would publish it in its entirety, in the letters section of the paper, to…

A Tail of Two Peace Plans
TRUMP’S PEACE PLAN SEPTEMBER 2025 1. Gaza will be a deradicalised, terror-free zone that does not pose a threat to its neighbours. 2. Gaza will be redeveloped for the benefit of the people of Gaza, who have suffered more than enough. 3. If both sides agree to this proposal, the war will immediately end. Israeli…

Yes,this is antisemitic. Yes,this is anti-democratic.
On the 2nd of October, a man stabbed and killed one person and injured others at a synagogue where members of the Jewish community were celebrating Yom Kippur. This attack on the Jewish community is unjustifiable on any level, and I, as someone with no faith, unequivocally condemn it. A recent report commissioned by the…

Transitioning from: Director of Public Prosecutions to Prime Minister
It can be said that Keir Starmer was as competent a head of the Crown Prosecution Service as the UK has had. However, in his transition to Prime Minister, his chromosomes remain the same. In his case, I am referring to the fact that he remains wired as a public prosecutor, not a Prime Minister.…
