PAT+JUDE TALK ABOUT DEATH IN MINNEAPOLIS, STARMER BLOCKS BURNHAM, THE APPEAL OF FARAGE -& A WEE POEM
Is this latest shooting – execution? – in Minneapolis by ICE agents the last straw? Former vice-presidential candidate Tim Walz and former presidents Obama and Clinton have all denounced the obvious shooting dead of a protestor. Will it make any difference?

PAT+JUDE TALK ABOUT JENMERICK DEFECTION, IMMIGRANT FAMILIES,& IS TRUMP’S SANDCASTLE COLLAPSING?
These are bad days to be a Tory. The latest defector from the Tories to Farage’s Reform Party is Robert Jenmerick, who ran for the Tory leadership. Kemi Badenoch, the present Tory leader (they’ve had so many) fired him hours before his defection. Are the Tories doomed? Is it possible to think of Farage as […]
Trump v the Cuban commies
President Trump has not said he’s “locked and loaded” for an attack on Cuba. That reference was to Iran. But that doesn’t mean he likes the way Cuba is run. He’s on record that he doesn’t like the Cuban habit of locking up its own citizens (no,no, Virginia, the poor man is getting old – […]
The State of Israel – by Joe McVeigh
The state called Israel is a political construction by the British after World War II just as ‘NE.Ireland (sometimes cleverly called ‘Ulster’ )is a political construct by the British after World War I.

The word that dare not speak its name
As I write this, my brother is in Altnagelvin Hospital, seriously ill. When I tell people that he is approaching his ninetieth birthday, they shrug their shoulders literally or metaphorically. If you’re ninety, well, you’ve had a good innings, you should be ready to lay your burden down. Speaking as another old man myself, […]
