Britain and Ireland live…

| Readers 4

For those of you who think I have no life outside Slugger, I do. My other place, mostly magazine but blog driven, is the Britain and Ireland site. We’ve just published its second issue on Culture, in which we have: Conor Brady on the race to the bottom between British and Irish media; a (camera phone) photo essay on Ulster Scots in the classroom, featuring a Lambeg played in a de-sanctified chapel in Ballymena; an essay on Heaney, Wogan and the Queen; and Edna Longley who argues the need to move away from the antagonistic/symbiotic binary of British vs Irish identity towards the recognition of the multiple layers of cultural complexity.

We are reader supported. Donate to keep Slugger lit!

For over 20 years, Slugger has been an independent place for debate and new ideas. We have published over 40,000 posts and over one and a half million comments on the site. Each month we have over 70,000 readers. All this we have accomplished with only volunteers we have never had any paid staff.

Slugger does not receive any funding, and we respect our readers, so we will never run intrusive ads or sponsored posts. Instead, we are reader-supported. Help us keep Slugger independent by becoming a friend of Slugger. While we run a tight ship and no one gets paid to write, we need money to help us cover our costs.

If you like what we do, we are asking you to consider giving a monthly donation of any amount, or you can give a one-off donation. Any amount is appreciated.
