FitzjamesHorse …Back in the Saddle
I feel like one of those retired generals who has been recalled to the colours after years in retirement. It turns out that Mr Fukuyama was wrong. History has not ended. The whole world is in a state of chassis … Continue reading

Pension For Troubles “Combatants”
I tried to post this on Slugger O’Toole an hour ago. Seems a shame not to publish it. The nature of posting on Slugger (his gaffe, his rules) and Czar (my gaffe, my rules) is that I am somewhat more … Continue reading

2017: That Was The Year That Was
No this is NOT a return to Blogging. It is a review of the year 2017 and an acknowledgement that “Keeping An Eye On The Czar of Russia” is still well read despite no entries from June this year. This … Continue reading
Civil Society …The Enemy Within
Interesting SDLP event tomorrow night. Civil Society…I am not a big fan. But a panel that is chaired by Alasdair McDonnell MP includes Dr Deirdre Heenan from the University of Ulster, Ryan Feeney from the GAA, Brendan Mulgrew, PR guy … Continue reading

Platform For Change: Preview
On the train from Dublin to Belfast. It has already been a busy day.. Hopefully a short visit to Clonard to remember Fr Alec Reid. And if I feel up to it, I will go along to the Platform for … Continue reading
Slugger: Sods And Odds
No reply from Slugger O’Toole about my “yellow card” on their anti-republican, anti-SDLP message board. To his credit, Alan …the acceptable face of Sluggerdom has put a comment on my Facebook that my comment “was deemed dismissive and did not … Continue reading
#15 Years On
I cant believe that I have headlined a post with a hashtag. Thoroughly Modern Me. But yesterday I noticed the hashtag…#15yearson appear on Twitter. Seemingly there was a big pow-wow at Dublin Castle yesterday, where anyone who thinks they are … Continue reading
LetsGetAlongerists With Attitude
Here’s a strange thing. Over on Slugger O’Toole, “Alan” posted a promo for a Platform for Change event at the end of November. And it gave a welcome opportunity for PFCs many critics (ok theres usually just two of us) … Continue reading
