Something I forgot which may top this: Connolly's argument that Anglo-Irish Protestants beat, whipped and tortured their Catholic tenants because those tenants wanted them to. S. J. Connolly, Religion, Law, and Power: The Making of Protestant Ireland 1660-1760 (Oxford, 1992).

What Connolly is doing here is a mild example of this (you routinely see much worse). Observe how he describes the systematic looting of one country by another in such impersonal language, as though it were a natural phenomenon. x.com/turbarius/stat…

1) Well, I'm so glad to finally be able to say that I have published my very first amateur article, covering the lessons that Nationalists can find from those who lost the Russian Civil War (the White Russians), and those who won the Spanish Civil War (the Spanish Nationalists),

An apocalyptic scene in Jabalia, northern Gaza — the Israeli army reduced the entire city to rubble.

The greatest percentage of spoiled votes in any presidential election in the history of the EU was held by France. The French 2017 election had 11.52% invalid votes. Now, Ireland will take the record! Bualadh bos Simon Harris TD Micheál Martin👏 The best boys in 🇪🇺.

It's safe to assume a referendum on enshrining neutrality in the constitution and removing the triple lock would pass with flying colours hence there will never be one. #Aras25

In 1792, the Assembly Rooms hosted the Belfast Harp Festival, the exact point when the native Gaelic-aristocratic bardic tradition crossed over into the politicised revivalism of modern nationalism. The obvious use for the building today is as it was always intended, as an

Lots of people like to share the concluding speech of Kenneth Clarke's Civilization, but few the very last cut. The end credits finish on Skellig Michael, and then a final shot of the waves crashing onto the rocks where Western civilisation restarted, at the end of the world.

Dr. James McDonnell from the Glens of Antrim who came from a Catholic and Protestant Gaelic speaking Highlander family organised it. He helped established what became the Royal Hospital. He has a beautiful grave just outside Cushendall.

This is a promise Simon is going to regret making. It’s simply not in this Govt's DNA to do what’s needed. Over the last decade, they’ve built the very web of agencies, task-forces & intermediaries he now claims to want to cut through. For instance, take "Rethink Ireland", the

This 2021 report on Irish justice, co-authored by Dr. Avril Brandon, exposes itself on Page 1. Its funded purpose is not to study alternatives to prison, but to "promoting" them. Activism masquerading as academia. Nothing good comes from anything this woman does. 1/7

“But Irish politicians are not out of touch with the electorate.” Stopped reading there. That statement alone shows you have no grasp of what’s happening. The disconnect between politicians and voters is the defining feature of European politics today.

‘Cut the Red Tape. Build Baby Build. An endless stream of pipeline generation for the Emerald Isle driven by open access to markets and free flows of human livestock and capital’

Actually, obligatory: Two economists are walking in a forest when they come across a pile of shit. The first economist says to the other “I’ll pay you $100 to eat that pile of shit.” The second economist takes the $100 and eats the pile of shit. They continue walking until
