This wins the Internet Today, Is She wrong ? I think the very same thing could be said about Ireland.

Net zero policy has had zero effect on global CO₂ and never will. The causes of climate change are much more complex than a CO₂ control knob. Climate alarmism and empirical evidence are disjoint. CA is a dangerous dogma and scam. #auspol #BBCNews

Some eye-opening engineering realities here. Just one example How much electricity storage would we need? 100,000 GWh How much have we got? 37GWh How much would 100,000GWh of batteries cost? £25 trillion....enough to run the NHS for 120 years. And they wear out. Why the Renewable Energy Transition is Doomed to Fail dailysceptic.org/2026/09/24/… via @LD_Sceptics

Ireland needs to defund political activist NGOs. Let them sink or swim with supporters cash.

The average temperature in January for London, England is 5.2C. And in July it is 18.7C. That's a range of 13.5C. Which we all live with quite happily - despite characteristic British grumbles about the weather. And if everything warmed by 2C, it'd be 7.2C to 20.7C. Please can somebody tell me why this would be a Climate Catastrophe? Especially since Rome already lives today with 7.5C to 24.5C Https://en.wikipedia.org/wik…

Day 12 The Irish Times has branded me a business failure to the nation. Just because I couldn’t sustain paying 23% VAT in a diesel crisis etc. This is the same Irish Times who lobbied the Govt relentlessly to reduce their own VAT rate from 9% to 0% in 2022. They hailed it as an “end to tax on information” But not only do they no longer pay VAT…. the Irish Times Group has been paid €2.5million+ by Coimisiún na Meán since 2024 ! ! Lucky ducks ! Yet, despite all these resources, they have not been able to report the latest Dublin Social Housing statistics… like the failed business-man, pay his VAT.

Couldn't help myself

Two things about our health service should worry every patient and every family in this country. First, a HSE internal audit reported in today's Irish Independent found doctors working in our hospitals without garda vetting or overseas police clearance. Of 40 non-EU doctors checked across seven hospitals, six had no record of garda vetting. Overseas police clearance was missing or not up to standard in 11 cases. Only 27 had evidence of English-language competency. Just two of the seven hospitals were fully compliant. Second, if you ask how many allegations of sexual abuse and sexual harassment have been made against people working in our health service in the last five years, nobody seems to know. There is no single HSE figure. Cases are dealt with one at a time, spread across regions and services, and the full picture is never put in front of the public. Both point to the same problem. Basic safeguards are not being applied consistently, and when things go wrong the HSE does not keep proper track of it. We have already seen vulnerable people in disability services and nursing homes failed while warning signs were handled in isolation. Every volunteer coaching an under-10s team has to be vetted. Patients are entitled to the same assurance from the people caring for them. The vast majority of doctors, nurses and staff in our health service are decent and dedicated, including the many overseas doctors we badly need. They deserve a system that does its job properly. So do the patients who trust it. You cannot fix what you refuse to check and refuse to count. I will be pushing for full transparency on both.

🎄 CHRISTMAS LIGHTS UPDATE 🎄 Fellow Councillor Ring spoke out on the radio last night about the decision to move the lights from December to January. A number of councillors are very disappointed with this change, and it came as a surprise to many of us. But let's also be fair here, this isn't simply the Lord Mayor's decision. Dublin City Council and staff members are also involved in this decision. Let's remember the history of this. In 2018, Dublin City Council itself introduced these lights as a “new Christmas initiative”, designed to illuminate Dublin throughout the month of December. And only last year, in 2025, then Lord Mayor Ray McAdam described them as becoming one of Dublin's “great Christmas traditions” and encouraged people to come into the city and enjoy some “Christmas cheer”. So let's stop pretending these lights suddenly have nothing to do with Christmas. Councillor Ring and Councillor Christy Burke have made a very sensible suggestion. Turn the lights on for Christmas and leave them on right through until the end of the St Brigid's Day celebrations. St Brigid's Day absolutely deserves to be celebrated and highlighted in its own right. Dublin City Council has one of the best events teams in the country, and I'm sure they can come up with something different and special for St Brigid's Day as well. And I'll make my own position very clear. I don't call them Winter Lights. I call them Christmas lights. They've lit up Dublin throughout December since 2018 as part of our Christmas celebrations, and that's where I believe they belong. If Councillors Ring and Burke bring forward an emergency motion to reverse this decision, I will fully support it. A change like this should involve proper engagement with elected councillors. Give the councillors, and more importantly the people of Dublin they represent, some respect. If it's not broken, don't fix it. Keep our Christmas lights at Christmas, and give St Brigid's Day the celebration it deserves in its own right. 🎄

🎄 THEY ARE CHRISTMAS LIGHTS — THEY BELONG AT CHRISTMAS 🎄 The Lord Mayor announced on Morning Ireland this morning that Dublin's so-called “Winter Lights” festival is being moved to January. No, Lord Mayor. These lights have been part of Dublin's Christmas period for years. They should be turned on before Christmas, when families and communities across this city are celebrating Christmas. Dublin City Council and the Lord Mayor should listen to the people of Dublin rather than simply deciding that a long-standing Christmas tradition can be moved to January and rebranded to suit a new programme. Ireland has a deep Christian heritage and Christmas remains an important part of our culture and traditions. St Brigid's Day has its own proud Irish tradition and deserves to be celebrated in its own right. Stop trying to change our Christmas traditions. You can call them “Winter Lights”. You can move the festival on a calendar. But you cannot dictate away generations of Dublin tradition and culture. 🎄 Christmas lights belong at CHRISTMAS. Keep them at Christmas.

The argument about English identity, and more importantly the reason why the Left denies it, is of course Neo-Marxist in origin. It comes specifically from Postcolonial Theory. This line of thought draws from the Marxist Frantz Fanon’s writings on decolonisation, and later postcolonial theory. It recasts the West, and “Whiteness,” not as ordinary peoples with ancestry and continuity, but as a colonial residue whose values must be psychologically dismantled. Fanon’s own words make this point: “The settler makes history and is conscious of making it. And because he constantly refers to the history of his mother country, he clearly indicates that he himself is the extension of that mother-country.” Decolonisation, in this frame, is not independence for former colonies. It is instead an unfinished project aimed at the former imperial core. English ethnic identity is therefore treated as illegitimate “whiteness,” something that cannot be named without being called racist. That denial is not accidental. If the English are allowed an ordinary ethnic particularism, then the progressive Left’s oppressor–oppressed worldview collapses. Postcolonial theory needs a permanent White coloniser class so that every institution, statue, curriculum and demographic shift can be framed as ongoing colonial violence. Other groups may keep their heritage. The English may not, because English peoplehood would expose the theory as a one-way street that grants ethnic self-description only to everyone else. The same framework then turns on people like Suella Braverman, who says that she is British Asian and not English because she has no English ancestral heritage. For stating that distinction, it unleashes what Fanon called a “colonised mind.” She is attacked as a racist, a race traitor, and a “coconut”: brown outside, White inside, a colonised mind that has internalised the oppressor. The charge is not that she claimed to be English. It is that she refused to dissolve Englishness into a civic slogan available to anyone, and thereby refused to treat her own heritage and English heritage as interchangeable props in the decolonial script.

Angry Anderson brown bread. A childhood musician gone I roadied for the chap a long time ago when he fronted the party boys. My best memory. The overflowing grog bin outside his caravan, with use temp roadies cleaning up, and a mother/daughter combo doing the walk of shame out of Mr Andersons caravan. They had huge...tracts of land. The mum had done the pull the shirt up and display the goods at Angry during the show, and he told her to see him after the show mid performance. news24.com.au/latest/aussie-…

Have you ever noticed we live in a country where a 95-year-old man can walk into a mud pit in Chicago, call his band The Fuckers, and start reciting “Enter Sandman” like he’s giving a TED Talk from the afterlife? William Shatner. Ninety-five. Riot Fest. Douglass Park. Thirty-five minutes. Spoken-word heavy metal. In the mud. With people cheering like this is normal. It is not normal. It is magnificent. He did “Crazy Train.” He did “Ace of Spades.” He did Metallica. Not sang them. Talked them. Like Captain Kirk got trapped in a guitar amp and decided to negotiate with Satan instead of the Klingons. Behind him: actual musicians. Marcus Nand. Phil Soussan. Grown men who have paid rent with real notes while a nonagenarian stands there going, “What the F is heavy metal?” and somehow makes it a question worth answering. Brian May is on the record. Tony Iommi is on the record. The album is called *What the F Is Heavy Metal?* which is the most honest title in music since someone first admitted most of it is just louder complaining. The crowd ate it up. Of course they did. We will watch a man old enough to remember radio as furniture stand in wet dirt and dare death to tap him on the shoulder. Death probably took one look, said “I’m not dealing with this today,” and went to find someone easier. You’re never too old to live out your dreams. That’s the line they always use. The real line is: most people quit the second it gets embarrassing. Shatner waited until embarrassing became the whole act, then sold tickets.

When you see how in rural East Galway, there is now an avalanche of planning applications either in the works or in preparation, for huge solar plants blanketing quality farmland and large wind turbines all over the place. It’s clear that there’s as much serious thought gone into this as there was for the generic tin-can Milton-Keynesisation of Galway City. They press ahead with this and they will turn some of the world’s most unique rural countryside landscapes into an aesthetic shithole. All to serve the greenwashing being forced on data-centres that will be located on the other side of the country in Dublin. The Irish government’s Net-Zero cult is as environmentally thought through as its previous brilliant policy to import Ash tree saplings and end up destroying the most widespread and ancient native woodland cover in Ireland.

Six years ago, The Washington Post said that Atlantic hurricanes seasons are going to become much worse due to global warming. Stronger storms, especially near the coast. Hyperactive years like 2020 was said to be a “harbinger of the future.” Last week, The Washington Post reported that the lack of hurricanes in the Atlantic this year is also potentially because of global warming. Climate change has become a convenient scapegoat for climastrologists blame everything that happens with the weather on. They can't ever be wrong.

The Difference Between Marxism and Neo-Marxism: Marxism is the ideology of dialectical materialism. It holds that society is divided into haves and have-nots, the bourgeoisie (capitalists) and the proletariat (workers), and that the workers will rise up, overthrow capitalism, and create a communist utopia. Neo-Marxism is the ideology of dialectical identitarianism. It holds that society is split into oppressor and oppressed groups based on identity (such as race, culture, religion, gender, and sexuality). It argues that the oppressed groups should rise up, dismantle Western power structures, and create a world emancipated from Western oppression. Both ideologies share the same values and goals: 1.) The complete replacement of individualism with collectivism. 2.) The abolition of equality of opportunity and equality under the law in favor of state-enforced equality of outcome (equity, in order to achieve total social or economic equality). 3.) Target of capture: Marxism seizes the means of production (factories, capital, businesses). Neo-Marxism seizes the means of cultural reproduction (schools, universities, churches, the civil service, and the media). 4.) Preferred means of transformation: Marxism: revolution and seizure of state power. Neo-Marxism: institutional capture, cultural hegemony, and soft power (education, media, bureaucracy, law). 5.) View of conflict: Marxism: class conflict is the motor of history and will eventually be resolved. Neo-Marxism: identity-based conflict is permanent and must be continuously managed through institutional power.

To Kill a Nation: The Attack on Yugoslavia (2000) was written by Michael Parenti, an American political scientist and author. It's a critical account arguing against the Western/NATO narrative of the breakup of Yugoslavia and the 1999 intervention.
