Torture, terror and extrajudicial executions: the Dirty War in Northern Ireland and my search for truth For decades I’ve investigated collusion between British military intelligence and terrorists One question has always remained: given the crimes committed how can Britain call itself a democracy?

Today’s Sunday World. Timonthy Gaston drummed in a band and that the UDA 'was heavily involved in the band during that period'. The UDA were linked to the Ballymena 2025 pogroms. People have been silenced since June 2025. Evidence givers in Stormont harangued and shut down. [1/n]

Home care workers have warned they are “on our knees” as they struggle with rising fuel costs, inadequate mileage payments and working conditions they say leave them effectively paying to do their jobs.

I'm the ideal person to lecture teachers on hard work, since I’m usually too busy with my 12 side grifts to bother turning up for the full-time job I’m paid to do and because I had the 4th worst attendance record out of 751 MEPs in the EU Parliament.

The Reform Party was reeling this week, after an ITV exposé captured a Reform councillor on camera making comments that were immediately disowned by the party leadership. The councillor, who is now in hiding, was caught on film being neither racist or sexist. From the new Private Eye, in shops now

The main BBC evening news is predominantly an entertainment show - with weather coverage (including a woman who had to leave her caravan on a cliff, in a fecking storm.🤷‍♀️) Cool.

A topic on Radio Ulster. Jamie Dornan apparently said N.I men have no style. A guy says he got a very stylish and expensive cardigan and the next night he met the lads for drinks. For nearly 2 year now he's known as "Cardi B."😂

Some of Europe’s highest energy costs expected in Britain this winter. Since privatisation UK gas storage capacity reduced to about 8 - 12 days, EU has 80 -120 days. UK is net importer of electricity. Wars, privatisation and profiteering take toll.

Still one of my favs from the last year

"The IMF intervened twice on their demented plan. The Bank of England rushed in to prevent a £1.5 trillion collapse of pension funds. The budget still cost pensions £75 billion.

We need much stricter measures to prevent antisemitism because it’s not more prevalent than other forms of racism. Apparently, 95% of black kids have experienced racism at school, but they’re not top of the hierarchy so who cares? www.normalisland.co.uk/p/british-te...

Well played Aldi

There's a Right-wing nutter on Channel 4 news called Steve Connolly (yes I shit you not 'Connolly'). Thick as mince but with less charm.
