In this clip, we get to see James Blunt as he is roasted by Australian comedian, Tom Gleeson, who did a great parody of Blunt’s hit, ‘You’re Beautiful’. During his interview, the English crooner, who was a Captain in the British Army (Life Guards) gives almost as good as he gets. Rebel Voice enjoys those […]
An Irishman’s Diary – Day 3
The weather in Ireland can be as changeable as a three-year-old’s favourite colour. We can get four seasons in a day and it plays havoc with the wardrobe. Summer is an especially crazy time. Chilly in the morning, then warm to the point of t-shirts and shorts. It might rain then with torrential determination before […]
Altan – Dúlaman (Irish Traditional)

The Pharaoh Key – Preston & Child Thriller
The Pharaoh Key by Preston & Child (2018) Having recently finished another Preston & Child story titled ‘Beyond the Ice Limit‘, Rebel Voice decided to give the pair another chance to redeem themselves. Big mistake. The Pharaoh Key is more of the same, only even more cliched. Gideon Crew is into the last few months […]
Jewish Anti-Zionist Speaks Out Against Israel
In the ongoing struggle for the rights of the Palestinian people to live in peace and equality, the enemies of such noble aims regularly attempt to portray the search for justice in Palestine as somehow anti-Jewish or, even more inaccurately, anti-Semitic. This sickening approach by apologists for the Israeli death machine ignores the fact that […]

Fool Me Twice – Robert B. Parker Thriller
Fool Me Twice by Robert B. Parker (Michael Brandman) Robert B. Parker died in 2010. This novel was released in 2013. It is not Parker’s own work, of course (unless a seance was employed), but that of Michael Brandman, approved by the Parker estate. It’s understandable why Brandman has been chosen. He writes like Parker […]

Parkour is one of the most amazing physical skills to have been publicized in recent times. It involves high levels of fitness, balance, dexterity and courage. It’s almost as difficult as being an honest politician. Enjoy the fun. https://youtu.be/2vfoyY9lshI Enjoyed this? Please share

Top 10 Actors Who Refused To Shoot Scenes Together
Hmm… Rebel Voice is never sure about posts like this. The subject matter is of interest to readers but in essence is bullshit. Actors are over-paid attention-seekers who seldom use the platform they have been given for anything of worth. There are exceptions to this of course. A,B and even C listers get paid more than […]
The Transmutation, from Patriotism to Capitalism
Originally posted on Rebel Voice:
The Transmutation, from Patriotism to Capitalism The Empire’s dead, the Empire lives, the borders now on ledgers; the flags removed, the anthems shunned for ditties, logos, branded fun. The Empire’s dead, the Empire thrives, to feed on promise to wasted lives. A.D.
