Mobile phones. Love them or hate them, there’s no getting away from them. They’re dead handy when you need to get in touch with someone quickly, but they do have some serious drawbacks. I’m not just talking about narcissistic iPhone retards or obsessive Twitter addicts (though they certainly contribute). Hence, I present the top...

Ever watch Whale Wars? It’s about a bunch of animal rights protestors who chuck stink bombs and the like onto Japanese whaling vessels around Antarctica.

Alfred Banker was a simple man with a simple plan. He wanted ever so badly to get arrested by the guards. Being a bit of a masochist, our Banker, he got off on the idea of being cornholed by violent sociopaths in Mountjoy. But how to do it? Well, A. Banker worked for Anglo...

Capitalism Rocks!

Capitalism has been getting a bad rap lately. Recession this, banking crisis that. To listen to some people talk, the end of free market economics is nigh. The various tiny socialist parties in Ireland are sticking up a bunch of posters with Marx’s beardy mug all over them, advertising speakers who’ll waffle on about...

Barbara Harris Talking About Project Prevention On BBC Hardtalk.

There’s been a furore in the Irish and British media over a drug addict “John”. He accepted £200 from the charity Project Prevention to get a vasectomy. He’s content to get the snip, having spent two-thirds of his life addicted to drugs and saying outright that he shouldn’t be a father. Barbara Harris...

The Next Batch Of African Kids

Watching a programme about Live Aid and the famines still plaguing Sub-Sarahan Africa, I had to wonder about ways to solve this terrible dilemma. Long-term, there are always condoms.

Jimmie Åkesson Really Likes Sweden

A week ago, the Sweden Democrats party under Jimmie Åkesson won seats for the first time (guess where?). According to news outlets, this is shocking Sweden and Europe. The SD is most famous for opposing immigration, denouncing Islam and for having links to racist white power groups. Before now they were regarded as all...

When people think of the dark side of religion, the first things that come to mind are usually Islamic terrorists or paedophile priests. Some people regard western “Crusaders” as the big threat. When someone is invoking the name of their god when they’re screwing you over, you’re not going to be too fond of...
