Spain and Portugal?s Blackout Reveals the Achilles? Heel of Electricity Grids Dominated by Wind and ... Tue Apr 29, 2025 17:00 | Anonymous Engineer
The power outage in Spain and Portugal wasn't caused by extreme weather, but by an over-reliance on wind and solar. If the UK continues on its headlong path to Net Zero, we can expect similar failures.

An Excess of Pity: Why We Fail to Deport Those Whom We Should Deport Tue Apr 29, 2025 15:00 | Dr David McGrogan
Why do we fail to deport those whom we should deport? It's due in the end, says Dr David McGrogan, to an excess of pity. We are pitying ourselves into disorder and social decay. We need to be willing not to be nice.

Jump To Comment: 1 2 3 4 5 6I missed this reference to Joe Bratty's involvement in the 1992 sectarian killings on the Oreau Road.
What a fun bunch of reactionary sectarians......
How Orangemen holding five fingers aloft celebrated a previous exploit by Orange order favourite, Joe Bratty - the slaughter of five nationalists in Graham's Bookmakers on the Ormeau Road
An Orange icon's memory lives on - as a nightmare to others
Joe Bratty bloke?

Frenzied Orange bandsmen were involved in a ugly stand-off with the PSNI in the tiny village of Stoneyford, west of Belfast, on the eleventh evening. The reason: the angry bandsmen wanted to march through spanking new developments in the once sleepy village which are now home to many families who have moved from west Belfast.
In the spirit of ecumenism for which the Stoneyford Orangeman is famous the local bonfire had boards proclaiming KAT ("Kill All Taigs"), "Butler Kiss My Arse" (the local Sinn Féin councillor is an equality campaigner) as well as stolen election posters of the same Cllr Butler.
I should declare an interest here, my personal details, leaked by the security farces, were found in Stoneyford Orange Hall in 2004. I was in good company: around 500 republicans and nationalists were on the list. There's no secret about the loyalist extremist who was gathering this information. However, despite being responsible for a series of sectarian attacks in the area, he lives a charmed existence.
Meanwhile, the Shankill was a sea of alcohol the same evening as local and Scottish Orangemen spilt out of the bars and onto the roads. Who was left to guard the bonfires? The similary intoxicated teenagers who balefully stood watch at bonfires which had grown so big with last-minute donations of toxic tyres that they blocked roads.
This is the face of the Twelfth which won't be shown by BBC this morning in its live coverage of the "celebrations". However, Daily Ireland shone a light on the dark side this morning with its exclusive report and picture from Ahoghill where the bonfire has been topped with a Tricolour bearing the words "Fuck MickeyBo", a reference to Ballymena teenager Michael McIlveen who was beaten to death by loyalists on May 8 this year. Full story: www.dailyireland.com.
These neanderthals are the same young people who were identified by Joe Montgomery, Director General of the Tackling Disadvantaged Group in Tony Blair's cabinet, when he pointed out in a recent lecture that Belfast has the highest percentage of working people with no qualifications in Britain.
Continuing in the tradition of Joe Bratty - Orangemen in Ahoghill respond to the sectarian killing of Michael McIlveen
The full picture of one of the many picturesque bonfires that Orangemen erect all over the North on the eve of the 12th. Puts those KKKers in their place with their puny flaming crosses.

Well done James. But why are they so insecure?
Best to set up a field in the middle of nowhere where they can march up and down, do their bonfires and annoy nobody. And take it in turns with the republican bands. No-one outside the 6 counties is impressed with any of that stuff.
Similar to KAT/KAI, I was told by a neighbour that IHS really means 'I Have Suffered'.
