Journalists like Paul Mason who argue GB News is "far Right" and must be shut down have clearly never watched it, says Andrew Doyle. If they had they'd know that their idea bear zero relationship to the reality.

Global Government is No Conspiracy Theory Wed Aug 07, 2024 11:30 | Dr David McGrogan
The emergence of global government is no conspiracy theory, says Dr David McGrogan. Those driving it cite global disasters, but in truth the greatest global disaster facing humanity is the emergence of world government.

The BBC is a hulking anachronism, says J. Sorel. The last of the great Departments of Information, a relic of an age of siege and conscription, sprawled across the national psyche like a huge rusting battleship.

Jump To Comment: 1 2Well, now, if it had gone the other way we would have had the German King Joachim (the kaiser's youngest son) with Pearse and Conolly as his ministers. Joachim, when off-duty liked to sing what were called 'nigger songs' in English, like Camptown Races. Sounds rather fun.
Instead we got Dev...and have to pay for our mercedeses.
The first war was not a colonial or ideological one but a squabble between imperialist trading blocs determined to cripple a rising industrial , economic and trading competitor . Germany had no interest whatsoever in occupying Ireland , nor France nor Belgium for that matter . Such wars between actual human beings as opposed to colonial wars against lesser humans ended with treaties and gentlemans agreements and the armies went on their merry way home afterwards. Germany offered Irish republicans a very nice mutually beneficial arrangement . The establishment of an Irish republic would hamper British access to Atlantic naval ports and enable German access to them , not to mention tying down numerous British troops in attempt to hold on to their colonial possession . Germany decided it was in their strategic interest to support Ireland with military aid and possibly even an expeditionary force with further miltary aid such as artillery should a successful rebellion take hold for at least a couple of months . It also offered to demand that Britain formally recognise the right of the Irish people to sovereignty and independence as an integral part of any post war treaty they would sign with Britain upon the wars end , which untill the involvement of the US superpower was virtually certain to result in a convincing German victory
Unfortuantely the yanks opted to back the Brits , Germany was not beaten but certainly unable to win . They signed the disastrous and humiliating Versailles Treaty and they and us were well and truly shafted , along with the ARabs , Vietnamese and all sorts of people . They got Hitler and we got Kevin Myers . Neither unfortunate nation may ever shake of their respective national shame
