There comes a time in the affairs of nations when the past ought to be put behind them.History was ever thus;if it were otherwise then we in the UK  would be stranded in a perpetual imbroglio of recurring grievances and hatreds. Which of course certain areas such as the Balkans or the Middle east are and are not likely to emerge from them merely by the counting of years and decades as they pass. Were we something like them,then the offspring of the Roundheads and Royalists would still be embroiled in antipathies and conflicts related to their original struggles in the 1640s, which they are not. 72 hours ago,on Saturday 8 November,Ireland held its General Election and things will never be the same again. Sinn Fein irrevocably emerged as a major player in Dublin politics,one that will have important and lasting consequences for the future structure and coherence of the United Kingdom itself. The UK having gone through its own recent GE2019 in December still under the antiquate...

In the rest of the world it's July 2019 but meanwhile back in Britain we're currently reliving March 29 2019 - the day,which according to the Law as enacted by parliament,said that the UK was to Leave the EU. And still the global metropolitan elitist pantomime continues unabated.The Tories are about to select one of two barely competent careerist clowns as their next party leader and the UK's Prime Minister. Their,now soon to be, predecessor gave her valedictory interview in which she confirmed everything that anyone with even half a grasp of   Realpolitik  already knew.She really is a politically inept,spineless, wheedling caricature of a petty bourgeois waste of space. And meanwhile the Fenian statelet run from Dublin was coming face to face with its own revelation of a  Realpolitik  moment.That moment when an insignificant failed nation state realises its own utter insignificance in the larger world of politics and international diplomacy. Having spen...

The following appeared a couple of days ago on  Belfast Telegraph Digital :- DUP deputy leader Nigel Dodds said that Brexit has turned into a " battle for the Union itself ", with the EU and UK government no closer to agreeing a withdrawal deal.  It's okay,you can skip the next bit since in retrospect it seems highly implausible that such a portmanteau of eventualities could occur or are ever likely to occur in such a fashion ever again. Tories decide to add a commitment to holding an " In-Out" referendum on EU membership to their manifesto for GE2015. They do it,in what their leadership assumes is a countervailing and pre-emptive manouevre to stop further votes being lost to UKIP. Against the odds,Cameron leads his Party to an outright victory with a 20-odd seats overall majority. Parliament approves with virtually no dissenting votes against that a binding In-Out referendum will be held on June 23 2016. As polling booths closed on June ...

The Anglophobic,or should we say anti-British sentiment that has suffused Irish political and cultural discourse since time immemorial has attained its zenith. The Fenian Kneecappers and Bombers and their misbegotten offspring have ascended their very own allegorical Calvary and are awaiting their own imminent resurrection as foretold in the annals of terrorism and bloodshed. That quintessentially obtuse and arcane shibboleth known as  " The Irish Border Question " has been parlayed into the defining problematic on which the UK's brexit from the EU is now ordained to founder catastrophically. The Irish Times  reported on November 21,2017 :- After a heated Bundestag debate, Germany voted yesterday to back Ireland’s request to restructure crisis-era loans and save the exchequer an estimated €150 million. The request from Dublin turned into a proxy battle between Germany’s two leading parties, which are locked in a growing coalition battle. Angela Merkel’s Christia...

Alzheimer's is a truly terrifying disease. Its most egregious manifestation is in the manner it destroys a person's ability and capacity to remember. Paradoxically the disease wipes out memories of who a person talking to them is and the events of the previous day for example; but you might be able to recall perfectly an incident or event from decades ago as if it were current. I only share this about Alzheimer's in order to get a handle on the not entirely dissimilar inability of the Labour Party to recall what earth shattering democratic event occurred on June 23 2016. Though leading seditionist Labour antidemocratic hellions such as Starmer,Umunna,Corbett, Lammy,Creagh etc. all fail to recognise and acknowledge as equals those who they routinely verbally abuse when disparaging the 17.4 million fellow UK citizens who as the majority,voted for #brexit. Gleaned from  Guido Fawkes  online , " Keir Starmer says the UK should leave open the option of staying in th...

The lamentable farrago over the UK's impending departure from the EU - aka the brexit negotiations - continues unabated. The UK domestic Remain campaign/Referendum verdict deniers are currently in the midst of throwing the kitchen sink at Brexit. Having already deployed the mendacious blackmail demands of the so-called " Divorce settlement " alongside the bogus lamentations and woefully insincere pleading of EU Citizens against the sensitive heartstrings of the May minority regime; the globalist plutocratic denizens of domestic metropolitan elitism and their Controllers in Brussels have now opened up a third front- that of the largely fictitious "problem" surrounding hypothetical difficulties envisaged around the Irish Border post- Brexit. Why is the failing minority Dublin regime stirring the proverbial merde at this time? The Irish Times lends an insight into the lickspittle grovelling demeanour of the bankrupt,inconsequential grubby little Irish state...
