London's new Chinese Embassy looks less like a diplomatic mission and more like the command post of a hostile power, says Clive Pinder. Is Britain now so weak that it will stand for this?

Bush related to medieval butcher of Irish?

Dumbua related to Strongbow?

Today, genealogists claim George W. Bush is related to medieval invader of Ireland Strongbow. A reason to be proud for Bush??

James Connolly, famous Irish socialist, martyr of the 1916 Easter Rebellion, and historian of labour and exploitation in Ireland, was not very friendly on George W. Bush's now claimed ancestors Strongbow and Diarmuid MacMurchadha, calling them "thief" and "traitor":

"The Socialist who would destroy, root and branch, the whole brutally materialistic system of civilisation, which like the English language we have adopted as our own, is, I hold, a far more deadly foe to English rule and tutelage, than the superficial thinker who imagines it possible to reconcile Irish freedom with those insidious but disastrous forms of economic subjection – landlord tyranny, capitalist fraud and unclean usury; baneful fruits of the Norman Conquest, the unholy trinity, of which Strongbow and Diarmuid MacMurchadha – Norman thief and Irish traitor – were the fitting precursors and apostles."
