The following poem was written by Jane Wilde, mother of Oscar. Jane Wilde, who was officially ‘Lady’ Jane Wilde, was an ardent Irish Nationalist who died in poverty. Her second eldest son, Oscar, lauded for his literary prowess, did nothing to help the impoverished people of his native land, yet his mother cared deeply for them. […]
The horror is unspeakable. The slaughter of innocents in Manchester is only now beginning to become clearer. Children murdered by a fanatic. The people of England now sadly begin to better understand how life has been in Syria, and Yemen and Palestine. Those animals (and there will be more than one) responsible for the Manchester […]
Vanilla Ride by Joe R. Lansdale He’s back! And with a bang! Lansdale has returned to my life with this little gem. Two sittings to finish, and I enjoyed every damn minute if it. Hap Collins is large, white, hetro and funny. Leonard Pine is larger, black, homo and also funny. Both are from East Texas. They […]

Included with this post is a documentary from Al Jazeera about recent social protests in Morocco. The story reminded me of a visit I paid to that country, as a tourist, many years ago. It was in the city of Agadir where I chose to stay, and from there I travelled around the locality in […]
I am of the opinion that the lyrics of this song should be part of every school’s curriculum. The words are profound and true, unlike a lot of the shite that is pumped into the heads of the young across the globe. Lennon was a working class prophet.
From one of the greatest groups of all…

Comrade to a Fickle Deity Mottled jowls adorn his life, softened hands and harried wife staring at her feet. A booming voice resonant with greed, bigotry and obstinate idiocy indicates the insecurity that bubbles beneath. That troublesome tongue seldom held behind tainted teeth, for long, has launched imbeciles upon voyages laden with infected product. The […]
As we face into (yet) another election, and as we consider the relative strenghts of both Sinn Féin and the DUP, I thought we could take a look at how the two leaders would shape up against one another.
