If you wondered where the MSM get all their lurid stories attributing 'extreme weather' to climate change, look no further than a new job ad for a "researcher" focused on creating alarmist propaganda, says Chris Morrison.

Labour is "mission-driven", says Keir Starmer. But the last thing anyone should want is a Government with a mission, says David McGrogan. That's because a Government with a mission needs conscripts. That's you and me.

English Media Still Publishing Anti-Irish Diatribe

The Guardian today published a review of Hunger, which not only spouts Anti-Irish Sentiment but also encourages the mistreatment of political prisoners.

It is fair to say that many of the British still cant see the wood from the trees. Sore losers perhaps? Have your say at:

This film will bring back painful memories. Here's some fottage of Francis hughes funeral. It was recorded by an American news network. The footage was never shown in Ireland at the time because it was thought to be to sensitive, so it was censored. Maybe now, after 27 years we might get to see the real story of the Hunger Strike. see funeral on link below.

I've posted hundreds of times to the Guardian's Comment is Free section, on a range of divisive issues including religion, Israel/ Palestine, global warming, and Ireland/ Britain. I've seldom had a comment removed, and any time I've had it hasn't impacted on my ability to post again.

David Cox made extremely provocative comments about the Irish in general and the hunger strikers in particular on his film blog 'analysis' of Hunger. This started off what could be a storm of debate on the Guardian site.

I made dozens of contributions with no problem, but asking questions of Catherine Shoard, who was batting for the Guardian's editor on the site, has resulted in every subsequent post of mine either being removed or not being posted in the first place.

I've emailed the Guardian's reader's editor to no avail. I've also tried to post an anodyne comment on the footie blog re Arsenal v Man U, and they have pathetically continued the total ban on anything by Cubarocks.

What a total joke. They publish Cox's extreme vituperation against the Irish, defend its publication on the basis of defending free speech, and then ban a regular contributor, apparently forever, on the basis of my having asked difficult questions of the Guardian staff.

Simply unbelievable.

It’s not anti Irish diatribe or anti Irish at all. It is a critical movie review which does not toe the MOPE/victimhood line about the hunger strikes. It makes the salient points about firstly, the moral turpitude of the campaign of violence these people were waging and secondly, that as injustices go those that these people suffered to justify their campaign were not all that serious in comparative terms.

I would not condone any acts of violence against innocent civilians by paramilitary organisations of any persuasion, but the reviewer's endorsement of torture is entirely disgusting.
In the Gt Britain, there has been a media focus on the IRA's many atrocities, but a blind spot towards Loyalist outrages, British Army collusion, and ill-conceived policies such as internment on suspicion, which outlook this reviewer seems to have absorbed uncritically.
