In 2016, I was invited to have a conversation with
Gerry Kelly on LMFM Radio about my book 'Gullible Travels'. Nigel & Cormac Talbot, the brothers who raped me during my child & teenage years, complained. Gerry Kelly read a scurrilous apology for broadcasting the truth. I took legal action.

Much as again I wish to congratulate Catherine Connolly on her election victory in advance, I would also like to congratulate Paul Murphy on his legal triumph.

Good news indeed, but a sobering reminder that you're only a couple of bad decisions and a little bad luck away from being in real trouble in that part of the world.

Is it any wonder these Incels hate women and can't get laid? Is it any wonder they want to blame migrants, people of colour and liberals for them being such pieces of shit and woeful losers?

watching a play by famous writer who has a character say, in complete seriousness, that she has abandoned her two small children, left them alone at home, to go live/stay with her ex husband's brother in hope of winning her ex back, and theres no follow through at all in the play abt the children.

You'd have to wonder what FG were expecting, running a second-choice candidate with an unremarkable ministerial career... and topping that off with a zero imagination campaign, absolutely no vision or theme for the next seven years. And then the panicky negative campaigning.

We look to the presidency for, if not inspiration, exactly, then at least not active negativity. Humphreys' ill-humoured campaign has been a disaster; like a hated Sunday visit from a cranky relative who thinks your couch is uncomfortable and your tea is weak.
