The world has gone stark raving mad. This is laughable if it wasn’t so profoundly disturbing. https://t.co/kw10CeOrsM

Very much enjoyed your podcast. When all is said and done Francis Rossi’s little finger moving on and off a fretboard, will have contributed more to humanity, than the sum total of many of the others featured in your 279th Quantum. You will understand that I make an exception of the Quo’s cover of the Boland and Boland Norwegian number one, “You’re In The Army Now”. Big mistake.

A book publisher called Maurice Wylie has just produced ‘The Border Cleansing.’ It reflects on how Irish border Protestant or evangelical communities (in Co Down, Co Armagh and Co Fermanagh) suffered at the hands of Irish Republican terror groups. Ireland presently appears in love with the Palestinian cause. But is it easy to jump on a soap box about Deir Yasin in Palestine, and ethnic cleaning there, while ignoring how the Irish Republic was a safe space for attacks on Protestant communities in Northern Ireland? ‘The Border Cleansing’ describes the savagery used to drive Protestant families (or individuals) from their homes, businesses and farms. The militaristic national anthem of the Irish Republic embarrasses me as an Irish person.
