Comrade To A Fickle Deity

Comrade to a Fickle Deity

Mottled jowls adorn his life, softened hands and harried wife

staring at her feet.

A booming voice resonant with greed, bigotry and obstinate idiocy

indicates the insecurity that bubbles beneath.

That troublesome tongue seldom held behind tainted teeth,

for long,

has launched imbeciles upon voyages laden with infected product.

The eyes, his eyes, speak of unspeakable…

Handsome Devil

BBB (out of 5) With his father and stepmother living in Dubai, Ned has been left behind to attend a posh boarding school in his native Ireland and couldn’t possibly be more miserable: he’s a slight and quiet fellow who has no interest in rugby, which makes him the centre of all bullying activity at a school where toxic masculinity seems to be the most popular subject. When Ned gets a new…

Irish Fascists

The position of Ireland in WWII was a bit of a tricky one. A lot of people actually were pro German, not so much because they were agreeing with the German policies but more because they were at war with Britain, and there was still this feeling of Britain’s enemy is our friend. Many people during the Emergency thought that Ireland owed Germany a debt for her support of the Easter Rising in 1916.

#OTD in 1922 – An Garda Síochána | Guardians of the Peace of Ireland is founded.

Prior to the signing of the Anglo-Irish Treaty of December 1921, Ireland was policed by the Royal Irish Constabulary (RIC) and Dublin Metropolitan Police. Needless to say, due to their loyalty to the old British regime and their association with the Auxilliaries and Black and Tans, the RIC was totally unacceptable to the vast majority of Irish people it was therefore a necessity to form a new…

The Army Comrades Association (ACA), later the National Guard, then Young Ireland and finally League of Youth, but better known by the nickname The Blueshirts, was a far-right organisation in the Irish Free State in…

#OTD in 1933 – Fine Gael was following the merger of Cumann na nGaedheal, the National Centre Party and the National Guard, popularly known as the “Blueshirts.”

In the face of intimidation of Cumann na nGaedheal meetings by the anti-treaty IRA and the rise in support for Éamon de Valera’s Fianna Fáil from 1926, a new strategy was required to strengthen the voice of the pro-Treaty tradition who now found themselves in opposition. The National Guard, popularly known as the Blueshirts, and originally the Army Comrades Association, a nationalist-conservative…
