Andrew Orlinski in the Telegraph says the Online Safety Act has less to do with protecting children than suppressing populist political sentiment.

Trump Was Right to Skewer Starmer Over Britain?s ?Windmills Scam? Wed Jul 30, 2025 07:00 | Ben Pile
Trump was right to skewer Starmer over Britain's "windmills scam" when he met him in Scotland this week, says Ben Pile. It was a cringefest worthy of The Office, but Starmer can't afford to ignore the President?s warning.

Starmer to Recognise a Palestinian State Tue Jul 29, 2025 19:30 | Will Jones
Sir Keir Starmer has declared that the UK will recognise a state of Palestine in September unless Israel makes peace with Hamas, in a move critics say treats statehood as a "bargaining chip" and "rewards Hamas".

RSF question presence of armed RUC/PSNI at GAA game

Report this post to the editors

The Vice President of Republican Sinn Féin Des Dalton, a member of the GAA in Co Kildare, described as “sinister” reports that an armed member of the British Colonial police was present at the Kildare/Tyrone Allianz National Football league match at Healy Park Omagh, Co Tyrone on Saturday, February 2.

“It has been reported that an armed member of the RUC/PSNI was escorted into Healy Park Omagh before the Kildare/Tyrone National Football game on February 2 by an official of the GAA. A number of questions need to be asked. Why was an armed member of the British colonial police in the press box for the duration of the game? Is it now official GAA policy to escort armed members of the British Crown forces into GAA grounds? Was he there to spy on members of the nationalist community? Are the GAA now collaborating with British Crown forces in such spying and surveillance?

“If these reports are correct it is a sinister development and will rightly cause concern and anger within the nationalist community throughout the Six Counties.” Des Dalton said.
