Dear tv and radio producers. Thankyou for the invitation. But, no, I do not want to appear on your show to defend the idea that I am English, after 50 years of living and working here, because the increasingly feral right want to turn this into a "debate" and you cannot see how you're being played

Imagine deciding to go out and pitch that the Pope is the Woke Antichrist because he has concerns about AI, when you look like the lovechild of Satan and the guy whose face melts in Robocop. If a homeless guy gave this 'lecture' in Hyde Park, he would be sectioned. www.politico.com/news/2026/10...

The Greens need to learn the right lessons from the destruction of Corbynism | Andy Beckett
Zack Polanski must be more nimble in fending off attacks than the former Labour leader or he risks suffering the same fate, says Guardian columnist Andy Beckett

Andy Beckett is now completely unmoored from reality. He’ll be joining Owen Jones on podcast island very soon. “It’s possible that the rightwing media even encouraged this shift, giving Polanski plenty of coverage, in order to divide the left and prevent Labour from ever holding sole power again.”

American bombers can still reach their targets, of course, but only by flying from the United States, requiring more time and refueling. American carrier groups can still patrol in the Arabian Sea, outside the Persian Gulf, but now they must be resupplied from Diego Garcia…

I’d be willing to bet the Irish Times does phone interviews for this and not face-to-face. My name is Adriana Acosta-Cortez and I have been living in Ireland… What could possibly go wrong at such a reputable publication?
Irish Times published an article purporting to slam racism by Irish women for wearing fake tans authored by Adriana Acosta-Cortez. It later pulled the hoax article.

A former colleague sent me this. If there’s one thing more nauseating than the Irish Times diaspora coverage ‘we live in Australia but Cavan is always in our hearts’ it’s the grateful foreigners who have made it to the promised Grüne Insel… I hadn’t twigged they solicited these.
Fill in your grateful foreigner details and the Irish times will say how fond you are.
