The English Kingdom

I Perhaps your correspondent was just awaiting a piece of good news in order to pick up his poison pen once again. The English State, once capable of sustained judicial conspiracies against Irish people, has proven that it cannot now even get a showtrial right, and has had to dissolve its case against Mo Chara.…

A naive observer might ask how a crime of the magnitude of Genocide may be covered up. This is a mistake: a crime of the magnitude of Genocide must be covered up. Recall that the Catholic Church abhors Miracles as phenomena outside its system of control; popular devotion, popular politics or activism: these disgust our…

Kneecap have very ably described the activities of a rabid English political-media class urging each other on to ever greater acts of calumniation and spitefulness, as a festival of distraction. To avoid reporting on the actual Genocide, these base representatives of Regime ideology must make the perpetrators of the Genocide into victims. And so, once…

The most important artists in the country, Kneecap, have suffered a coordinated campaign by the footsoldiers of the Late Capitalist order. Their crime is their criticism of the Genocide. Note that this is literally a crime, as it is has been investigated by the security apparatus of the State currently occupying the part of Ireland…

Macdara is keen to emphasise his agreement with Abbott’s basic point: the racism (or prejudice) suffered by minorities now classified as white, is different in various ways to that experienced by non-white people. This closes nothing down, but is a reasonable starting off point for exploring all the various ways that different groups experience different…

In any case what interests the present writer is not the article itself, but Abbott’s letter, and strictly speaking it isn’t quite the letter that interests him, but rather the response to it.

Time for another round of Macdara’s favourite game: ancient grudge. In this case it is not so ancient, but highlights an age-old phenomenon: English racism. Let us explore further. Your correspondent’s representative in the theatrically undemocratic electoral system that obtains in the UK is Diane Abbott. He has no idea if Abbott is an effective…

It is pointless to ask, as Macdara did recently, whether the squabble between Zelenskyy and the inhabitants of the grotesque underworld that is the Oval Office, were staging their recent confrontation. Such a question is the mark, your correspondent admits, of an old-fashioned mind. It is not that Trump necessitated that Zelenskyy engage in reality…

The representatives of the Liberal Right expect to be judged on their exquisite feelings, not their murderous acts; they expect to be commended exactly for this gap between what they would like to do (nice things), and what they believe they must do (nasty things). It is mark not only of a lack of imagination,…

What better evidence of the base nature of the Imperialists than the following response to the Foreign Minister, which begins with a rote expression of support for genocide and then wanders into a bizarrely non-commital humanitarianism. This is from a Labour Party politician—like the man she is responding to, she is Black, but is thoroughly…
