offsite link Shakespeare Set to Be Decolonised at His Own Birthplace Sun Mar 16, 2025 11:00 | Sallust
Shakespeare's Birthplace Trust and woke academics are "decolonising" the Bard by downplaying his genius, linking his legacy to white supremacy and scrubbing "offensive" language from its collections.

The German political establishment has responded to Donald Trump with an idiotic constitutionally-anchored pledge to deindustrialise in the next 20 years. Could Friedrich Merz be more inept, laments Eugyppius.

The collapse of Swedish battery startup Northvolt shows once more that there is no such thing as 'green' industry, says Ben Pile. Industry needs lots of cheap energy ? something that China has and Europe doesn't.

Have we finally reached peak woke? Have we developed a vaccine to the woke mind virus? Like a dying religion, it's certainly in retreat. But some disciples of Wokus Dei are still clinging on.

"We are delighted to have moved into new premises," says poet, critic and Director of the Centre, Fred Johnston. "We are upstairs, first floor, at 27 Nuns Island, just round the corner from our old office. We're still very much centre-city."

The Centre is still pursuing Galway City Council to provide even more adequate premises, possibly with reading rooms, and to this end gave a very promising presentation to the City Council some time ago.

"More and more, and particularly through our newsletter, 'The Word Tree,' the Centre has become established and accepted as the focal-point for literary activities in the West of Ireland, and not just in the Galway region, as our reach is much wider than that."

The Centre is funded by the Arts Council, Galway City and County Councils, Poetry Ireland and individual contributions: Easons, for instance, will sponsor the upcoming Alannah Hopkin reading in September 12th. The Centre operates a 'Friends of the Centre' scheme, details of which can be obtained from Marvelle Maguire or Fred Johnston at 091.533594 or 087.2178138.
