To say I love Doctor Who would be an understatement. I remember it being a constant feature in my house as a child, those constant U.K Gold reruns, but that's not when I got into it. I started watching it when, as is the case for many sci-fi fans, the revived series saw Christopher Eccleston … Continue reading I Have Watched Almost All 889 Episodes Of Doctor Who, But I Won’t Be Watching The Next Episode

Does Ireland Support Palestine?
Ireland is famous as that country that really supports Palestine. Indeed, we've gotten the nickname "Paddystilians", because of it, intended as an insult of course, but many here in Ireland take it as a compliment. But, I think the question of whether or not Ireland is a good ally to the people of Palestine, is … Continue reading Does Ireland Support Palestine?
Biden Was Horrific When It Came To Palestine, But It Doesn’t Follow That Trump Is Any Better
So, I could write many blogposts, and probably will, about the election of Trump at the end of 2024. The reason I haven't wrote about it so far is that, I don't even know where to start. Do I write about how I breathed a sigh of relief when Robert F Kennedy Jr, an advocate … Continue reading Biden Was Horrific When It Came To Palestine, But It Doesn’t Follow That Trump Is Any Better
A Letter From Germany Regarding That Country’s Complicity in the Palestinian Genocide
Hello all, something a bit different today. A good friend of mine lives in Germany, and has spent the last few months having conversations with me about how bad it for the Pro-Palestine movement over there, and the German government's utterly indefensible complicity in the mass murder of the Palestinian people. Because of the difficulties … Continue reading A Letter From Germany Regarding That Country’s Complicity in the Palestinian Genocide
Sounds That Can’t Be Made, A Late Era Gem From Marillion
Marillion are a band that were in danger of being confined to my list of bands that I’ll never listen to for the remainder of my life. Why was this? Did I hear anything bad about their music? No, quite the opposite in fact. I’d heard nothing but good things. But, there is so much … Continue reading Sounds That Can’t Be Made, A Late Era Gem From Marillion

Content Warning: Dark Humour About The Palestinian Genocide So, as you may have read, or encountered in one of these, TikTok videos, despite your best efforts to ignore it, there’s a bit of trouble going on in Palestine.

The Hypocrisy of Supporting Ukraine But Not Palestine
I remember the start of 2022, and I learned that something awful had happened. Russia had invaded Ukraine. It felt like the start of a nightmare had begun for Ukrainians. They were just living their lives peacefully, and then Putin decided to take over their country? How could something so horrifically unacceptable happen in full … Continue reading The Hypocrisy of Supporting Ukraine But Not Palestine
Why Aren’t We All Screaming?
Content Warning: Genocide in Gaza Mohamed Abu Al-Qomasan's wife Joumana Arafa had just given birth to two babies boys. As he waited to collect the birth certificates, he learned that his two boys, along his wife, and the twins' grandmother, had been murdered by the IDF. The happiest day of this man's life was turned … Continue reading Why Aren’t We All Screaming?
Even A Minute Matters, Why We Shouldn’t Give Up On Gaza, Even Though It’ll Feel Hopeless At Times
Note: As I was writing this I became aware that I was spelling Nehenyahu's name wrong, but I'm not going to change it and spell it correctly, because he deserves far, far worse than the indignity of having his name spelled wrong. We all knew it was going to be a massacre when Israel went … Continue reading Even A Minute Matters, Why We Shouldn’t Give Up On Gaza, Even Though It’ll Feel Hopeless At Times
Ireland Stood Up For Justice Before, And There’s No Reason Why It Can’t Do So Again
So the Eurovision is over, a contest I've never really had any interest in. But funnily enough, this year, 2024, would have been the first time I ever watched the Eurovision, but I didn't. The reason my interest was piqued this year was because of Ireland's entry for this year. Firstly, the Irish entry, Bambi … Continue reading Ireland Stood Up For Justice Before, And There’s No Reason Why It Can’t Do So Again
