Reclaiming the Beauty of the Spheres Sat Aug 09, 2025 13:00 | Dr David Bell

Why Are the Irish Media Ignoring an Apparent Islamist Knife Attack? Sat Aug 09, 2025 09:00 | Andrew Devine
When a man in Dublin stabs a police officer while shouting "Allahu Akbar" you can be pretty sure it's not the work of an indigenous Irishman. So why are the media at pains to pretend it is, asks Andrew Devine.

British TV grows more and more unwatchable with each passing day. That might be because BAFTA is on a mission to transform every TV show into climate propaganda ? and it's just stepped up a gear, says Steven Tucker.

Jump To Comment: 1 2 3 4 5Nice photos, and I'm grateful to see them. But the title seems a bit misleading?
when protestors and cops are eye to eye, sometimes getting a good shove from one side or the other, I'll call it a confrontation. it wasn't violence, or a scuffle, or a clash. maybe just a show-down?
I'll have to get a thesaurus to find a better word, but I felt like i was confronting something, or at least confronted.

.. well, I guess "dispute" or "encounter" would be close. It seemed like you were trying to dramatise things a bit "Siege of Hillsborough", "Battle of Dame St", etc. all seem a bit much on indymedia.ie
But, having said that, I am honestly glad to see the photos, and they serve a useful purpose. Well done for getting them taken and putting them up.
Police in riot gear. Peace protesters sitting at their feet. Looks like a confrontation to me!
Who's the baldy fella with the mic? Is that Van Morrison? He lost a lot of weight.
