Why is Starmer So Determined That Israeli Football Fans Descend on an Area That?s Now 70% Muslim? Tue Oct 21, 2025 09:00 | Laurie Wastell
Starmer is perversely determined that Israeli football fans will attend their team's match in Birmingham, even though the area is now 70% Muslim and mini-Israel-Gaza violence is a serious danger, says Laurie Wastell.

A windless week exposes that the UK is now totally dependent on importing electricity at times of stress. This is hardly the 'energy security' that Ed Miliband continually warbles on about, says Paul Homewood.

Jump To Comment: 1 2The above newspaper has it seems chosen to replicate a meme which this site has repeated for many years. The image of then minister of defence, Willy O Dea showing off new 9mm handguns to assembled journalists and in the process breaking the rule of never pointing a gun at someone you do not intend to shoot, not even if you're just trying to threaten them for ripping you off in a drug deal or attempting to look tough or just coz you don't like journalists in general .
you point a gun you fire it. .
The image has of course been repeated countless times on this site. It is perhaps our favourite image. For those who demean our contribution as writers and sustainers of indymedia ireland to the media of Irish society and the consciousness of Ireland's politics, the very fact that what ought have been a now long forgotten glitch in a ministerial photocall has now appeared in commercial newspaper.
Minister For Defense To Clean 'Radicals' Off The Streets?
http://www.indymedia.ie/article/73038
We should be very proud of our consistent promotion of this image and how it fitted and fits yet, Minister 9mm Willy O'Dea.
It's a little willy who we have all come to recognise.
& this is where it was promoted in Irish subculture first in an IMC ireland feature of 2005 :
http://www.indymedia.ie/article/73038
how it was repeated one year later when I quibbled with his attendance features as minister for arms glorification for the 1916, 90th commemoration, which lest I bore anyone was officially reported as having been attended by an impossible amount of Irish people. For they could no more have fitted in the street space of the route than a million faithful could have squeezed into the section of the Phoenix park where pope JP2 said mass. But if you go down that avenue of historical correction and factual analysis you end up with a O'Connell monster meetings where only a few dozen people turned up and everyone in the field heard exactly what the man had to say about emancipation, homerule, the union without craning their necks or the great liberator needing to raise his voice.
c/f "2006 - 1916 How many went?" http://www.indymedia.ie/article/75507
Since that auspicious start in 2005/2006 we have as a bunch repeated the image of 9mm Willy with us his sights as often as is humanely possible.
An Indymedia Ireland favourite photo & one of our most succesful horizontal media memes : the little government willy.
Was O'Dea's evidence given under oath? If it was, can we expect proceedings against him? These are the questions we should be asking.
