WorldbyStorm - 10:57 Mon Oct 21, 2019 There was a strangely revealing section of EH’s column this last weekend that I think is worth considering. In it he wrote: First comes Miriam O’Callaghan, followed by Tommie Gorman, Matt Cooper, Ivan Yates. Kate O’Connell also reached out on The Tonight Show when Diarmaid Ferriter said he had no sympathy whatsoever for the DUP. […]A
guestposter - 09:00 Mon Oct 21, 2019 As noted by Tomboktu, EWI and IEL in comments, the growing… ahem… controversy… over FF TDs voting for others in the Dáil chamber appears to be spreading. Who else might have ‘inadvertently’ found themselves in the same boat?A

guestposter - 10:12 Sun Oct 20, 2019 It’s almost quite literally all about him… But I was badly wrong about the only prediction that really matters to me: that Boris Johnson would not betray the unionists. … I’ve been pondering that for the past two days, trying to pin down my own elusive emotions, and have reached two conclusions. Basically, my desperate […]A

WorldbyStorm - 19:52 Sat Oct 19, 2019 Mentioned in comments during the week. ?Voices of 1968 around the world: a reading?: next Tuesday 22nd @ 12, Maynooth. The radical movements of the ?long 1968? shook the postwar order from Prague to Paris, Derry to Mexico City, Rome to San Francisco. ?Voices of 1968? (Pluto) lets those movements speak in their own words […]A
WorldbyStorm - 12:37 Sat Oct 19, 2019 This is amazing. Tomboktu pointed me towards it early in the week. A piece by John Naughten in the Guardian about blogs. I’d always thought of blogs as being under massive pressure from Twitter and Facebook, but it appears that that ain’t necessarily so. Just on this site, the CLR, this year saw our largest […]A |
