This is an insight into the Irish Brigade who fought heroically for Bonnie Prince Charlie at the Battle of Culloden in 1746. Every member of the Brigade was either killed or wounded as they fought to stop the English advances, thus saving many Scottish troops from certain death. Here is a Scottish memorial to those […]
Carson Dominates Stormont Nationalists
This photo shows the statue of Edward Carson, a leader and hero of Unionism. Although Carson was from Dublin and of Scottish stock, he was the first signatory of the ‘Ulster Covenant’ on Sunday 28th September, 1912, which pledged to resist Home Rule by ‘all means necessary’. Carson also created the Ulster Volunteers who are […]
Is Ice Hockey Really Canadian Hurling?
This short excerpt is a teaser for a new documentary about the origins of ice hockey in Canada, and how it is believed to have originated from games of hurling played on ice by Irish immigrants. It’s a nice thought. The documentary has recently been premiered at the Galway Film Fleadh and will be shown […]
GAA And Its Colonial Divisions
As the GAA competitions move into their final stages, we, who are interested in the national sports of our nation, can readily hear the banter that takes place between those who hail from different parts of Ireland. Good-natured ribbing is to be expected, but sadly sometimes the verbal interaction moves into the realm of abuse. […]
US Spends Billions On Weapons Whilst Its Citizens Live In Need
Having lived and worked in the US, I can state that there are high levels of poverty and social deprivation there, especially among the minorities. Ethnic, religious and racial groups are marginalized and ignored. The images that stream into our homes of the prosperous US with Ferraris and fine clothes are a fallacy. The truth […]
Sinéad O’Connor And The Chieftains – The Foggy Dew
This is a great rendition of the famous rebel ballad. The movie footage helps the atmosphere. Heady days indeed.
AC/DC – Whole Lotta Rosie
A day isn’t complete without a touch of AC/DC. Check out the fashion in this video, pretty cringe-worthy now. Nothing wrong with the music though.
Catholic School Principal Kissing Orange Ass
The following article is taken from the Belfast Telegraph. It concerns the idiocy involved in the head of Jarlath Burns, a Gaeilgeoir, former Gaelic footballer and current principal of a Catholic secondary school in south Armagh. Burns is well known for his support of the Orange Order. He has brought his pupils to museums dedicated […]
Free Staters And Anti-Republican Pogroms
Ireland has long had a sad history of citizens who aspire to be English or, at the very least, try to be accepted by the English Establishment as pets and lackeys. British colonialism has left a strong imprint upon the psyche of the Irish people. Republicans are aware of the toxic nature of the colonial […]
Cuban Brigade Of Doctors Celebrated In South Africa
The Henry Reeve Brigade from Cuba is made up of doctors and other medical personnel. It is often the first into disaster zones across the planet. The people of Cuba fund the Brigade, even though those same people suffer from an economic blockade imposed illegally (under international law) by the US, and supported by Israel. […]
Iris(h) Robinson And Gaybashing
In this report, we hear of Iris’s ‘mental health’ issues. I do wonder if there is any substance in the claims. It appears, from the outside, that Iris is deemed mentally unwell because she decided to get her end from a young man half her age, and got caught in the process. If Peter had […]
Belfast Republicans Stand Strong Against Orange Menace
Respect must be given to all those who refuse to bow to either the Sectarian Orders or the colonial PSNI. The people of Belfast have long had to endure oppression at the hands of the Planter population. It should be noted that the Republicans of that city have grown in strength and determination, whilst those […]
