  1. Comment on What is Britishness anyway? – latest
    on 8 February 2012 at 6:00 pm

    People get hung up about Nationality. I consider myself both Irish and British by birth, the two are not mutually exclusive, for me nationality stops at birth, an accident, an event I had no control over. Nothing really to celebrate about. Who was it said “Patriotism is the virtue of the vicious”.

    “Close ties of kinship and history, my Irish arse !”

    But yet yours and many other Irish arses are located in Britain. Do you really hate it that much.

  4. Comment on Brown resigns as PM, Cameron to be invited to form government
    on 12 May 2010 at 9:25 am

    Take a look at this rousing piece of oratory from Gordon Brown during the election campaign, at a UK Citizens conference.
    Unfortunately the media chose to concentrate on his misdemeanour of calling a narrow minded old woman, a “bigot”.
    This speech was never even partially reported on by Sky News.

  5. Comment on Labour old guard attacks Brown’s late coalition bid
    on 11 May 2010 at 12:23 am

    “Adam Boulton, the normally balanced political editor of Sky News”

    Oh please, come on. Boulton may have seem balanced recently because he and his fellow Tory lickspittles at Sky where sure they where getting a majority a few weeks ago.

    Boulton showed a mental imbalance in that spat with Campbell. It´s about time the regulator had a good go at Sky news coverage, it´s worse than Fox News.

  6. Comment on Herschel’s anniversary and Dawn’s destinations
    on 9 May 2010 at 3:18 pm

    Mark you really are funny. Pete is more informative and thought provoking in one sentence than you in an entire blog.

    Surely the fact that we have one of the oldest and famous Observatory´s in the world, gives Pete´s blogs an extra local dimension.

  7. Comment on CUs: not the end but not far off? (and some battleships)
    on 8 May 2010 at 3:55 pm

    I wonder if without the Tory name attached to the UUP, would they have performed better.
    Gerry Adams hit the nail on the head when he said “there is no reason anyone in (NI) need to vote Tory”. I would suspect that Ringland or Sir Reg would´ve been elected in East Belfast without the Tory baggage. A massive own goal by Reg Empey.
    I also don´t see how the DUP can justify lending support to a minority Tory govt. after the NI electorate have overwhelmingly rejected the Tories.

  8. Comment on And the ridicule continues…

    A street wise bihatch hoe has just assured me that the spelling of fellacio as opposed to fellatio is wicked and urban speak for da blo jab.

    BTW I wasn´t aware that Latin was exclusively Catholic. I remember we did it for three tedious years at state grammar school. I obviously didn´t listen in class.

    I could´ve been a Judge but I didn´t have the Latin.
