A particular sort of violent, destructive, nihilistic, gangster culture has become the fashion. And black and white, boy and girl, operate [...] read our review »

Do Words Matter?: Book Review of Political Discourse and Conflict Resolution – Debating Peace in Northern Ireland
Tweet I share many of the concerns of Andy Pollak, whose recent post ‘My Response to the Slugger Begrudgers’ zeroed in on the ‘relentless flow of negativity’ of some Slugger commentators. Pollak’s post was largely concerned with the medium of the blog. Indeed, I think the anonymity of the online world encourages extreme discourse and [...] read our review »

The ANC, the IRA and the rise of influence of the left within Sinn Fein…

Comment on What on earth was that Dr Al?
on 6 November 2011 at 8:03 pm
As Mick pointed out the lights were hitting the autocue which was the problem.
I watched it thinking it had been written by Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant it was sooo cringeworthy.
Very poor indeed and yes i’d say there will be a few booted jacksies backstage after thon car crash.
An inauspicious start

I did initially think this was a corrected graf but the flow of the E tells me otherwise as it is one constant line.

They are at Writers Square opposite St Annes cathedral and near the Police Ombudsmans office.
To be fair there were another 20 or so people at a meeting on the other side of the square

Comment on POTD – Hugenot cemetery
on 14 October 2011 at 5:03 pm
Malcolm I think i’m right in saying that there is a Hugenot museum (and entrance fee?) to the left hand side of this. So that perhaps would pay for the upkeep. I’ll check next week

Comment on RWC: Wales goes bonkers…

Indeed i was alluding to the Rugby Cup in 12years. I hadn’t made that connection re the move from the lower Ormeau. I have very vague memories of the club on a sunday afternoon (Hogarth springs to mind.)
