Interested in many things, but master of none. Blow in gratefully living in Ireland. Fed up of lunatic billionaires trashing the world. Somewhat left of centre these days. Rubbish at writing profiles. I'm probably not going to answer DMs unless I know you

If you care about the future of the NHS & you see this on Boxing Day, please could you share this?

If we want privatisation to be removed from the NHS, NHS campaigners like me have a *lot* of work to do next year and…I’d just like to see if people care enough about this for our campaigning to work…

All The President's Men Rupert Murdoch, Jeff Bezos & why press ownership matters.

Why did Jeff Bezos appoint Rupert Murdoch's right-hand man to the top job at Washington Post? To do his bidding. And when he did journalists & readers rebelled.

This week, I write about a parallel revolt inside the Guardian & Observer & why press ownership matters

Well this is a surprise. Never seen this much snow since I moved to County Mayo. This is a view of the trees bordering my garden taken this morning.
