Indispensable listening. After the slabberfest of daytime speech radio, it’s time for well-chosen music.

Interesting responses from McAlinden J to oral argument in the Judicial Review of Irish language signage at Central Station. Not only judicial exasperation with the farcical scenes of different Exec departments on different sides of the case but also an invocation of parity of esteem from the bench:

One of the problems on this site is verification (possible, I know, but requires work from our website developers) so I've put together a starter pack of Belfast Telegraph journalists & columnists, which I'll add to as others join.

Pic of me and my still new-ish book, The Ghost Limb: Alternative Protestants and The Spirit of 1798.

Walking boots, a flask of tea, headphones and hand sanitiser. This was basically the research method for the book. Lockdown walking and talking.

Photo of me in Tullynakill graveyard in County Down, looking for inscriptions on United Irish graves.

A photo of a postit that says 'Do Not Fear To Speak'. This was my mantra while writing the book, and for a long time the provisional title. By the end of writing, I had lost the fear.

I've been doing that Irish thing of being too embarrassed to say hello, would you like my book?

It's The Ghost Limb: Alternative Protestants and the Spirit of 1798. A tribe of 20 modern day northern dissenters go walking around the sites of 1798, asking what this politics could mean for today.

They seem more unionised than other occupations and, in this case, for private benefit. Odd.
