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,…

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…

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.…

DOGE OR DOPE
As a second-generation British citizen of Indian descent, I don’t get Zia’s crazy anti migrant nationalism. According to him, all the problems facing the UK are down to migration, the failing health service, poor UK productivity, the lack of housing, the cost-of-living crisis and maybe the failure to deliver HS2 because it was Sunak who…

Kemi Kaze: taking a dive
Kemi Badenoch was supposed to be the next Maggie, though why you would appoint a new party leader to look and sound like a relic from political history is beyond me. She was elected largely because she was a breath of fresh air, which she delivered in that she has been full of fresh hot…

H20 ; it’s not rocket science
The shambles that is our water and sewage system have been in the press for months, and our esteemed ruling class have just issued a (it’s never our fault) consultation about how to resolve this pressing issue. The main thrust of the consultation is that the housebuilders pay for any infrastructure upgrades required to facilitate…

1down,47 to go
Firstly, let me start by saying Donald’s resounding victory was nothing of the sort, yes, he won the dysfunctional electoral college handsomely but won the popular vote by a mere 2.5 million on a 63% turnout. His new best friend is another narcissist that is Elon Musk, not because of his great political insight but…

The End Of Year Rant 2024
We leave 2024 with the world in turmoil and an unpredictable geo-political environment. We have the second coming in the form of the Donald, the arrival of Keir, whose lack of political antennae is worrying, Macron in trouble, unable to keep the right or the left content, and the upcoming German Federal election, which will…

I am happy with the 26
From a New Ireland to a Data Ireland( response to Brian Feeny’s Irish News Column) Firstly, let me say regarding Mr Feeney’s “Failing UK” article surprisingly, there were elements with which I agree. For example, the de-industrialisation of the UK and the embrace of funny finance. I agree that the UK has failed to invest…
