Perfect Distraction: AKASE’s Rust on !K7

On a day in a week of flux when I felt so disconnected this Rust reconnected me. And I can’t help but keep returning to its glorious Radioheadness and Justin Martin like soundscapes. Thank you AKASE.

AKASE, the collaborative project between Harry Agius (better know … Continue reading Perfect Distraction: AKASE’s Rust on !K7

We are so close. And yet we could be so far away. Equality is knocking on Ireland’s door and I’m praying it will be heard. This week I interviewed a prominent LGBT+ campaigner from Ireland and because it was a pre-referendum interview with a post-result publication date I had to ask two questions about the Same-Sex Marriage Referendum result in Ireland. One question expressed my … Continue reading Vote Yes and cross that fine line to equality #‎MakeGráTheLaw‬

GE15: It’s about us, not them

This election appears to be about the leaflets. The endless, endless leaflets and yet, it should be about the brown envelopes.

The envelopes that turn us against each other, pitting the so-called scroungers against hard working families, the immigrants against the low paid, … Continue reading GE15: It’s about us, not them

Dear Katie Hopkins, it was The Sun what gotcha

You’ve been in my head for days. Much to my disgust. I’ve tried to ignore you. I’ve listened to the advice that you are fuelled by my indignation. But, but, but I just can’t let it lie. There’s self-seeking publicity, there’s rant upon rant in the endless craving for headlines but this Hopkins, this has crossed a line. You don’t have to go far back in history to recall the … Continue reading Dear Katie Hopkins, it was The Sun what gotcha
