“Unionism Decayed 1997-2007″ by David Vance: book review
I initially wrote this when the book was first published three years ago; whilst certain elements of it now sound dated, its basic premise that the period of 1997-2007 was a period of irreversible decay for Northern Irish Unionism can still be argued as a valid opinion. My own feeling is that it did indeed [...] read our review » -
Children of the Revolution (Bill Rolston)
What was life like for children of political activists during the Troubles? A new book by Bill Rolston and published by Guildhall Press during the summer has collected together the stories of twenty Children of the Revolution whose parents’ activities – and in many cases, imprisonment – had a significant affect on childhoods and life [...] read our review »

Lessons in Cute Hoorism: “Graft was accepted, for you were taking from the British…”
I’ve been catching up on some reading, recently. Most pleasantly surprised by John Drennan’s latest opus from Gill and Macmillan, Cute Hoors and Pious Protestors… It’s early days yet, but I was struck by this paragraph, part of a dissection of Fianna Fail near the beginning: One of the more fatal consequences of our colonial [...] read our review »

Comment on Time to expose collusion
on 20 April 2010 at 6:17 am
Munsterview, I remember watching an English T.V documentary that followed some family members at an Anniversary sermon held in Parnell Squar.
The occasion was not marked by the Government in any way. The T.V documentary crew noticed, and recorded how carloads of plainclothes Special Branch officers were photographing and videoing the family members of the victims from a distance.
They also jotted down number plates and questioned the English T.V crew.
What hope did they have of seeing any justice?
FF/FG duplicity was as bad, if not worse than the British collusion

Funny how it’s acceptable to call the Ukrainian genocide a “myth” but try using that word to describe the Jew Holocaust.

Lidia there were 2 million cases of rape and paedophilia by German women and girls in the post war years by Commies, British etc..
Thats just the reported cases. This was information collated by the post War authorities so it’s not “nazi propaganda”
Not a single war crime case was taken against any allied soldier.
On Katyn the US and UK propagated the lie that Germany was responsible. This was only squashed after the fall of Communism.
How many more atrocities attributed to Germany was actually committed by Soviets or Alies.
How many Jews for example actually died from Communist or Allies?

Lidia, are you denying the Communists were responsible for Katyn?
Are you another who describes the 2 million cases of rape and paedohilia in Germany by Communists and British troops as “payback”?

“I will REMAIN a KEY voice in the Constituency”
Has he been elected already??
Nice photo by the way, but the “toff” look is not a good vote catcher. Unless you’re standing in Henley on Thames.

Brian, the British in 1942-44 carried out genocide in the Bengal province of India killing up to 8 million civilians. Churchill robbed the food supply of an entire peoples to feed his surrended-monkey troops in Singapore. What he didn’t steal he burnt.No different from Ukraine, and statistically greater than the other holocaust.
The massacre of the Polish offices happened when the Communists and British were allies. That makes the British at least implicit.
The fact that the British then lied about the massacre, maliciously blamed the Germans, and kept up the pretence for 50 years shows the banality of the evil

That makes a mockery of the justice system.
So a guy who served 19 years in jail, for an offence that predates the Dublin Monaghan bombing is to be rejailed in the next few weeks for the same offence, but no-on can even dare investigate British mass killings.
No justice. No peace. Pippakin

Pippakin, call me crazy but I assumed Sovereign Govenments launch investigations into mass murders of their citizens, the day after it happens.
Not “consider” an investigation almost 30 years later.
Failure to investigate on both sides of the border points only to one thing.
State involvement and a reluctance by both states of this fact getting out.
The 26 Counties is as morally corrupt as the British state. Both need to be dismantled.

The all powerful “Justice Minister” had nothing to say and played no role in the revoking of Crory’s licence by the way.
He is window dressing for the Sec. of State.
Sinn Fein and the SDLP also made no comment.
Couldn’t even ask WHY the licence was revoked.

Compare this inaction to the Establishment’s rigorous hounding of Lurgan man,Martin Crory.
This man was jailed in 1973, one year BEFORE the atrocities in Dub/ Mon.
He served almost 19 years in jail and was released under licence in 1993.
A few days ago, for reasons not given and evidence not produced, a British Secretary of State revoked his licence.
It looks like he will be reimprisoned for a offence he served 19 years for already.
It seems the mantra of “too much time has passed” does not apply if the offence involves dead British servants and the responsible is an Irish republican.
