‘According to The Times of Israel, Bukele's paternal grandparents were Palestinian Christians from Jerusalem and Bethlehem while his maternal grandmother was Catholic and his maternal grandfather was Greek Orthodox. His father later converted to Islam and became an imam.’

His virtue he signals,
He claims to be bold;
But Jimmy O’Brien
Is a cowardly scold.

The Ukraine is the latest litmus test, isn't it? Anyone who thinks it's our job (or even within our capabilities) to be the world's policeman - eg Darren Grimes; Toby Young - automatically reveals themselves to be an idiot and an ignoramus and a glib, Tory Boy prat in the service of evils they simply do not understand.

This Late Late Show clip has gone viral over the past few days, being panned left right and centre. Cringe? Yes. Why? No one seems to know.

One of the results of the FG hollowing out of Ireland since 2011 has been a spiritual vacuum left in Irish society. This has been replaced by a lot of different things; one of the major ones being political correctness.

Political correctness is not just about being offensive to minorities/LGBT/women. It damages our ability to tell the truth and emotionally connect with each other, as authenticity often reflects, true, meaningful opinions on reality, opinions that come into stark contrast with what we see in front of our eyes every day.

The Irish flag is for Ireland, the Irish people. So we replace it with green flags. The Irish national anthem is based on history and hardship. So we replace it with garbage like Ireland's Call.

We are at a stage where authenticity is offensive, so we make it as inoffensive and as fake as possible. We all know the great lie.

“One of them even tried to show me scientific studies that unvaccinated people don’t transmit the virus at a higher rate than the vaxxed! Do they really think I’m so gullible I’d believe mumbo jumbo they obviously got from the internet? One of the studies they cited was from somewhere called Harvard (wherever that is) and had appeared in some dodgy conspiracy rag called the European Journal of Epidemiology. The other chap claimed to have read a study by the Oxford Research Group that found the vaccinated were spreading the virus more than the unvaccinated! Don’t worry, I didn’t fall for any of their so-called “science” from Harvard and Oxford, I just repeated your accusation of immorality at them.”

Professor Christian Peronne’s summing-up before the Luxembourg Parliament two weeks ago.

Tyne Bridge

Popular entertainment under Brezhnev, from a film. Lyudmila Senchina sings words by Mark Fradkin. A nice touch is that the poet is included in the scene, as the man behind the desk to whom the singer performs.

Every single police officer and politician who has played a part in this should be named and shamed, fired and sent directly to prison.

Constitutional Treaties 1: The highlights of Magna Carta 1215.

Very useful to know.

This is what I think happened to Ireland:

Pagans roamed around the island restlessly
Druids took over
Christians amended druidism and created a decent Christian culture
Roman Catholics took over
Druids are taking over again

How long till the pagans start roaming around the island restlessly once again?

Thirty years ago, I visited a small town in County Kilkenny that had a grotto in a central square in which Mary was appearing to a kneeling St Brigid. The neon-lit text was, “I am the Immaculate Conception.”
The local priest intimated that the site had been a well where Brigid was worshipped, until the church authorities declared this pagan, redubbed the main statue Mary, and installed the wee Brigid in the corner.
The local atheist called it “the Immaculate Contraption”.
