I wrote this about anti-wokeness, which is nothing more than a rebadged do-over of the tedious political correctness panics of my childhood. On how anti-woke, like 'politically incorrect' before it, is just a politically correct term for 'a dickhead'. irishexaminer.com/lifestyle-colu…

A piece I wrote for the last issue of @The_Fence_Mag is now online! It’s about a time in which I, as a young teen, found myself engulfed in the social politics of a Big Brother forum. It’s also about some of the people I met on there & how they shaped me the-fence.com/day-1509-in-th…

One of the best books I've ever read about Bloody Sunday, The Troubles or Derry itself. It bursts with the personality of the city and its people, living and lost; not just their pain but their humour, their dignity. It is a miraculous achievement. You simply must read this book.

My latest book with @Octopus_Books - 'On Bloody Sunday' is out tomorrow! I'm hoping to hold a wee launch in early February. Just wanted to say I'm very thankful & lucky to feel so much support and genuine warmth this week. 🥰 @WFoyleside @LittleAcornsBks #BloodySunday50 x

Can't explain why but I need my half time analysis done in a studio. It's just not the same when they do it pitchside. It bums me out. It's not the real thing. It's sleeping on a plane, it's having lunch at your desk.

In my school, Sex Ed was one day where a priest showed a video in which a horny farmer got over his lusty cravings via cold showers and press ups. So @The_Fence_Mag would like to know if you fared as badly. We want your worst, best and most memorable incidences of SEX EDUCATION

A friend’s just told me his kids’ school WhatsApp spent Christmas embroiled in a week-long debate over whether Elf on the Shelf constitutes surveillance culture. So PARENTS, I'm asking: what’s the wildest, weirdest or worst you’ve experienced in the dreaded groupchat?

Fresh off filleting Lord Lebedev, @milesellingham and @Coramazov turn their attentions to Justin Welby: the man who buried a queen, crowned a king, and tore a church apart. Phenomenal profile of the worst Archbishop in centuries. the-fence.com/speaking-in-sm…
