In 1983 a Mexican pilot on a transatlantic flight from Newark to Munich, running dangerously low on fuel made an emergernecy landing on Mallow Racecourse in Cork. Captain Rubén Ocaña was flying a Gulfstream II executive jet on April 18, 1983 when his instruments showed it was running dangerously low on fuel. His plan had been to refuel at Shannon, but thick fog made that impossible. With air traffic control guiding him, Ocaña scanned the countryside for a flat enough stretch of land. He located Mallow Racecourse against the odds, set down the plane on the grass. The immediate danger was over but now the multimillion dollar Gulfstream jet was stuck. The ground was too soft to take off again, not just during the current weather but like ever again. There was even talk the jet might have to be dismantled and carted away piece by piece. Captain Ocaña was accompanied by three crew members and four passengers, posh businessmen including Emilio Azcarraga-Milmo, who was the high-profile owner of Televisa, Mexico’s largest television network. Them four were whisked away to complete their journey shortly after the landing. Captain Ocaña and his crew had to await orders. Wealthy insurers quickly did the maths and found it was cheaper to build a temporary runway than to take the yoke apart. Local men and women were hired, machinery was brought in, and a 3,000-foot tarmac strip began to take shape beside the racecourse ( oh and the local sugar factory). It took around six weeks. During that time, the charismatic Mexican Captain Ocaña and his crew became honorary Corkonians and were treated with the great hospitality of the Rebel County. They were put up at the Central Hotel, Captain Ocaña was a regular at hurling matches, and even served as a judge for the “Rakes of Mallow” Beauty Contest (that Rakes polka festival is a fascinating rabbithole in itself btw). By the time the makeshift runway was ready 39 days later, the jet had become a local landmark. Kids cycled out to see it and tourists came to take photographs, postcards were even printed. When the day finally came for takeoff, around two thousand people gathered to see Captain Rubén Ocaña and his crew off. Before stepping aboard, he offered a few words as Gaeilge them they lifted safely into the air, and circled twice above the town in salute before vanishing into the clouds. The legendary event inspired the 2010 film The Runway, Captain Ocañas adventure was commemorated forty years later with Ocaña Fest in April 2023 which featured an air show, Mexican mariachi music, and a screening of original footage captured by local enthusiast Alan Wilson. The weekend reached a poignant conclusion when Ocaña’s four daughters fulfilled their father's final wish by scattering his ashes at the racecourse, marking a permanent return to the town that had welcomed him with such extraordinary hospitality decades earlier.

"The third aspect is settler occupation, which is beginning to accelerate in Scotland" Prof. Alf Baird speaking at Salvo Launch in 2022 "We then move to colonialism, which has not been discussed in the Scottish independence debate at all, which is a fascinating omission because the UN describes independence self-determination as decolonization. So we should understand the reality and the rationale for independence, which is not about being a few quid better or worse off. If we look at colonialism, we're then into the realms and also in cultural linguistic imperialism, we're into the realms of a mindset, a psychological condition. So colonialism basically involves external political control and economic exploitation. And my research and others research has basically found that Scotland is very, very much subject to these two forces. External political control, we have no control over our membership of the EU, for example, we have no control about who we go to war with. We have no control over our lands and seas, our energy or any really of our assets, which can all be plundered and are plundered by international money now. The third aspect is settler occupation, which is beginning to accelerate in Scotland. But it's been a part of Scotland's demographics for a century and more, including the out-migration, in some cases forced or incentivized, of between 3 and 4 million Scots. And in colonialism, that is understood as what is known as banishment of the natives. And that is and was a policy of successive British governments." @LiberationScot @ScotSalvo @SalvoHighlands @SSalyers2 @LiberateScot @Scotpol1314 @IndyScotParty @coletteisp @KennyMacAskill @DavidDhenry @MarkMmcnaught1 Full speech 🎥 youtube.com/live/0Nlamy0Wt…

This morning, a 65 year-old man woke up in the early hours and heard thieves in his garage. He called the police. Unfortunately, the officer on the phone told him they don't have any police officers free at the moment. The guy hung up and then called again in a moment and tells the officer: - it's about these thieves in my garage. Don't bother coming anymore i’ve shot them. After literally 2 minutes, 4 police cars, Armed response, counter terrorists, ambulances turned up,..... Thieves were obviously caught. Police officers had a chat with the gentleman Officer says - " You said you shot them! " Gentlemen - " And you said you don't have a free police car " Credit: Rudes On a roll
