Millions of pounds of taxpayers' money end up in the coffers of Left-wing think tanks each year, says Charlotte Gill. Isn't it about time we turned the tables and asked: "Who funds you?!"

Any electrician knows that Lego bricks are genderless, not 'heteronormative', because each can 'mate' with any other. Perhaps Science Museum staff should study to be electricians and actually make themselves useful.

offsite link Why All Parents Should Protest Against the Children?s Wellbeing and Schools Bill Tue Feb 11, 2025 18:14 | Elizabeth Dulley
Any parent can currently withdraw their child from school if they're unhappy. Labour's Schools Bill ends that right for many, giving local authorities a veto. That's why all parents should protest against this state power grab.

Open letter to my grandfather, Austin A. O’Malley, who I never really got to know, as he died when I was only four years old. He came over to the United States from his native country, Ireland around 1889, as a little boy of eleven years.

Like many other Irishmen from Louisburg, County Mayo, he settled in Clinton, Massachusetts.
I know that he worked there for a baker for awhile untill the Spanish American War broke out.

I also know that he was in and out of the Veteran’s Hospital all through his life. I also know that he liked to drink at bars in South Boston, sometimes with his dog beside him. read full story / add a comment

The day the italian Columbus, known as Colom to the Spanish, landed on a carribean island claiming it for the crown of Aragon (modern catalonia) thinking he had discovered India is also the day of the patroness of Zaragoza, the virgin Pilar.

Spain marks this day with a military parade in Madrid and homage to the flag, and the usual polemic between all those who despise or value such displays of nationalism / imperialism / cultural hegemony et cetera...

But there has been something never seen before-
Veterans of both the liberation of Paris and the republican side of the civil war and a volunteer for the fascist division on the Russian front have taken part.

Meanwhile in Zaragosa, Aragon, there is a big procession with statue bedecked in hundreds of thousands of flowers and a really good televised mass said to invoke the virgin, by no less than three cardinals assisted by all sorts of hooded holy types, a few score of altar boys and not a single woman. read full story / add a comment

Before departing for the US as EU Ambassador John Bruton questioned the War of Independence that saw the emergence of his party and that eventually paved the way to his becoming Taoiseach.

He effectively disowned his Fine Gael Party and claimed allegiance to the defunct Irish Parliamentary or Home Rule Party that had failed to secure a subsidiary Irish parliament under the Crown. He said that having southern MPs in Westminster would have tempered British policy, seeming to forget that it had little impact on what Professor Roy Foster once called the famine “holocaust”. Indeed Bruton admitted that it resulted in the slaughter of many of the thousands of Irishmen who followed John Redmond’s lead in the First World War, as Redmond was “obliged to support imperial policy”. read full story / add a comment
