Observations. Satire. Politics. Interviews.
About a week ago I stumbled on an episode of ”Travels in Trumpland’ the documentary series by Ed Balls. I should confess at this point that the career of Ed Balls had more or less passed me by. I was vaguely aware that he was a Labour politician and at a push might have guessed…
My favorite part of Breaking Bad was about 3 episodes before the end of each season. That’s when all the plot lines started to knit together. At this point Walter White and Jesse started to get their shit together or not at all as the case may be. We are now at the same stage…

I did not expect to be writing about a boy called Keaton Jones Today. I came to hear about Keaton via Dana White’s tweet about him along with the Video. I am sure many of you came to hear about him in the same way. Keaton Jones is 11 year’s old. I have no doubt…
I have a confession to make. This story is only loosely connected to Conor McGregor the man and more about who he represents and why his rise and the rise of MMA in Ireland has been an uncomfortable one. However as the title hints at this is a story that is also about a team…
