The Honorary Consul by Graham Greene-an introduction to philosophy

I have just finished listening to the audiobook, “The Honorary Consul”, by Graham Greene and narrated by Tim Pigott Smith. I am a big fan of Graham Greene’s style of writing, and I must say that I thoroughly enjoyed this one, one of the few remaining Grahame Greene novels that I had not read up… Continue reading The Honorary Consul by Graham Greene-an introduction to philosophy

Michelangelo’s David too pornographic for School Board in Florida- Principal forced to resign

Parents in a school in Tallahassee in Florida complained about their students being exposed to the iconic image of David by Michelangelo from the 16th century. And the Floridian equivalent of the Board of Management of the school forced the Principal to resign or be fired.

Far right grudge bearers in Mullingar

It is shocking to read this morning of the so-called protests in Mullingar of what I describe as far right grudge bearers. The protest was ostensibly about “undocumented migrants”, or whatever is the latest, most racist catchphrase they are using, being housed in an army barracks in Mullingar.

The Admiralty law pseudo legal conspiracy theory nonsense

A commenter left a comment on my YouTube channel containing some advice for Ammi Burke and Enoch Burke in their legal challenges. He suggested that if they were familiar with Admiralty law they could easily resolve their legal difficulties. I have seen this Admiralty law nonsense mentioned more than once online so I thought I… Continue reading The Admiralty law pseudo legal conspiracy theory nonsense

The problem with citizen journalism

Citizen journalism seems like a “good thing”. And there is no doubt that individuals with a mobile phone have changed the way we view the world, and have contributed significantly to the pulling back of curtains to permit a look at nefarious political regimes around the world. Citizen journalism has also helped greatly in shining… Continue reading The problem with citizen journalism
