It's what now?

Today is a sad day for victims and survivors, and a shameful day for the UKG.

As the Legacy Act comes into effect, my thoughts are with those victims & their loved ones who have campaigned with dignity for truth & justice.

This disgraceful legislation should be suspended.

My article in today’s The Irish News on why no historian should have anything to do with the British government’s “independent public history” project, a charade that is intrinsically linked to the reviled British Legacy Act. irishnews.com/opinion/no-his…

A poignant vigil for Greta Price-Martin, the 22 year old Co Louth IADT student and cyclist who was killed last week. Family, friends and residents in Dun Laoghaire were told by her father, Breffni: “She should have been safe here.” Her mother Vanessa said: “Keep cycling.”

Quite a day for Anglo Irish relations with the legacy act becoming law, and Sunak's antics in the House of Commons crowing about forcing asylum seekers towards Ireland and preventing their return. We must wait till the Tories are gone.. Can't be soon enough.

Heartbreaking. Vile. And utterly transparent, the UKG constantly telling on themselves.

'Gaza has more rubble than Ukraine and to put that in perspective, the Ukrainian front line is 600 miles long and Gaza is 25 miles long,' said Charles (Mungo) Birch, chief of the UNMAS Mine Action Programme in the State of Palestine. He added that there are over 37 million tonnes…

So glad Timothy Snyder is saying this to U.S. diplomats directly.

I tried to say this after the boilerplate in 2023 when Biden cancelled his meeting with 3B presidents over Ukraine in NATO and this year about not hitting Russian refineries.

The response was, with one

Polish PM Donald Tusk promises that Poles will be richer than Brits in 2029 as he says 'it's better to be in the EU!'

The promise comes on the 20th anniversary of Poland's accession to the EU in 2004 as he sets the target date for his promise for 25th anniversary in 2029

We don't know what it is or what to do with it, but we want it back

We need people who are interested in European politics running for European Parliament. This is local politics. But, they're all at it....
