Name that jammer (and price) anyone?
Subtle as Snake Plissken on Rohypnol.
Uncanny.
They’re flying without lookalikes.
“Boyzlife is a tribute to the music of Ireland’s finest pop exports, Boyzone and Westlife. A musical evening that is tailor made to satisfy all of your Irish boyband cravings. First class vocals, all those iconic dance moves and enough key changes to make this an unmissable night!”

25 Years Ago

Sunday marks the 25th anniversary of the release of the Guildford Four when their convictions for the 1974 Guildford pub bombings were quashed at the Old Bailey in London.
Gerry Conlon, Paul Hill, Patrick Armstrong and Carole Richardson had been falsely accused of the attacks on two pubs, which were carried out by the Provisional IRA.
Five died and more than 60 were injured.
The late Gerry Conlon (above) was asked about his immediate thoughts on his release.
Watch here.
Paul Hill was interviewed recently by BBC Radio 4 on his 15 year imprisonment.

A Red Light

The Turn Off The Red Light Campaign billboard
‘Only 2% of sex workers who responded to the survey supported criminalising the purchase of sex.
61% of NI-based sex workers in the survey thought it would make them less safe.
85% believed that it would not reduce sex trafficking.
Only 16% of respondents to the client survey said it would make them stop paying for sex altogether.
There is likely to be significant difficulties with enforcement.’
New research from Queen’s University – the first time that “people involved in selling and buying sexual services have been directly approached in relation to prostitution policy in Northern Ireland”.
Mark Malone writes:
Looks like critics of the Turn Of The Red Light campaign have real empirical evidence to support their position. Its about time similar research was done here.
