Joe Brolly: The fault is with reality


DURING the 1968 Civil rights rebellion in Paris, one of the slogans used by the protesters was “DO NOT ADJUST YOUR MIND – THERE IS A FAULT WITH REALITY.” Watching Brexit, and Trump and Boris and the pathological liars at the heart of the UK power grab, where a grown man is sufficiently confident in […]


Patrick Morrison: The Great Dane


Last week while vegetating on ‘Lockdown TV,’ I watched a show entitled Premier League Legends.
