The Border

Lest anyone doubt the craven nature of the Partitionist elite, the West Brit Times ran an article (unseen by the present writer, who preserves his sanity by avoiding the paper), but helpfully and inevitably summarised in its politics podcast (into which your correspondent dips only to gather material for his Letters). The man who may…

Amnesty International’s Occupied Ireland director gave a typical response: It is shameful that the authorities allowed this despicable display of hate to go ahead. What a shocking message to send to local migrant families. […] The authorities must treat this as a hate crime, conduct a full investigation and ensure those responsible are held to…

So in this terroristic townland, we find that a gross crime is committed every year: the bonfire for Eleventh Night, commemorating (better to say celebrating) a key battle in the invasion of Ireland. Stacks of material up to 60 meters high are lit on fire, constituting a multiple crime, being at once a threat to…

It is an Irish town with a clearly Irish name, though since it is almost entirely made up of settlers, they would deny that there is anything Irish about the place whatsoever; it is striking that the settlers refused to rename the places they invaded, speaking of course to the settler pathology, a desire not…

Martin forms an instructive contrast with the man with whom he job-shared as Taoiseach and Táiniste, Varadkar. The latter is an unprincipled chancer, and, as such, can see when something is obvious and then get behind it just in time, as he has recently done on Reunification; witness also his sudden interest a few years…

The morose Shared Island initiative that Martin has been promoting, which sits within the Department of the Taoiseach, costs money but is said to be a way to unlock Growth. The Shared Island Fund was announced in Budget 2021, with initial €500m in capital funding available between 2021-25, ring-fenced for investment in collaborative North/South projects.…

Has Micheál Martin been bought? Or is he working for the English for free? Macdara fears that the latter is the more likely proposition—at least if he was bought, his behaviour would be understandable, but he is likely exhibiting merely the compulsory irrationality of Partitionism. Let us use this strange man as a study. But…

And what of the page called Designation? It starts off: On the first day the Assembly meets after an election, MLAs sign the Register and designate themselves as ‘nationalist’ or ‘unionist’. This is to facilitate cross-community voting on certain key decisions […] Such decisions must be supported by a certain percentage of MLAs from both…

The Occupied Ireland Assembly has as its chief goal its own continuance. It has developed a strange website to teach young people of various ages about the colonial administration. The pages for children and young people from primary school up to age 15 are all about how a law is made, who are your colonial…

It is well known that the London media betrayed an extraordinary confusion when a Conservative government relied on the support of DUP MPs for its majority. Each publication carried short explainers, so that readers might understand how it is that there are Irish MPs when Irish people have been so keen for so long to…
