Playing The Racist Card

I see the BNP are playing the racist card on the Donegal Road. Apparently the area has delapidated since the Second World War, and local politicians have let the area down by allowing the Donegal Road to become flooded with immigrants. As a matter of fact, the release I’ve linked to uses the viewpoint of […]

Now Polling!

We love our voting in Northern Ireland, don’t we? I’ve been toying with the idea of doing polls on The Levee Breaks for a while now, and I think the time is right to get a bit of feedback on the issues of the day! If you look to the sidebar, you’ll see I’ve added […]

Worthy Sites For The Blogroll

I’ve been reading Jimmy Porter’s Desolation Row for a while now, ever since he got a mention on the venerable Slugger. ‘Course, back then he was known as the Blind Commissioner… Desolation Row is a great site. For the most part, Jimmy’s views are very close to my own although he sometimes uses the ‘n’ […]

Gay Weddings, What's The Big Deal?

Firstly, congratulations to Grainne Close and Shannon Sickles on being the first gay couple to get married in Northern Ireland in a civil ceremony. I hope you have a long and loving life together. There’s been much sanctimony over the introduction of civil partnerships for gays in Northern Ireland today. The Free Presbyterians were out […]

Parenting In A Funk

I’ve been feeling a little bit under the weather lately, folks. Been forced to use up my holiday leave before the end of the year, so I took a lot of time off work this last couple of weeks. The problem is, this messes up my routine completely. I instantly got sick, and haven’t been […]

Something Hot In My Pocket

Nope, it’s not because I’m pleased to see you….. The hot sensation in my groin was not the first stirrings of a rooter, not was it the aftermath of an STD (thankfully). I had an actual chemical reaction in my pants today, thanks to two AA batteries and a pocketful of change. I was up […]

Rome: A Short Levee Holiday

Bongiovi! Almost a week since I posted here and no-one’s missed me yet? Did anyone call Missing Persons? Ah well…. The Levee crew (as we don’t call ourselves) went for a wee jaunt to Rome last Sunday for a few days. We couldn’t find a decent pizza joint locally, so we decided to shop a […]

Missing In Action

I see everyone’s missed me loads. Didn’t even notice I’d disappeared for over a week, did you? Well, just in case you care, I’m alive and well and working away, just a bit out of my normal rhythm for blogging. Hopefully sort that out tomorrow at some point. Good evening!

Hypothetical Policing Question

Just a short one to start off with today. In a nutshell, Republicans refuse to acknowledge the PSNI because they are a state controlled organisation, have no jurisdiction, etc etc. And with this, we have witnessed the rise of the Republican-friendly alternative, the Community Restorative Justice Scheme, known as CRJ to it’s friends. What would […]
