offsite link The African Countries Demanding Reparations Are Astonishingly Hypocritical Tue Sep 09, 2025 15:46 | Will Jones
The African Union's demand for colonial reparations is an act of cynical opportunism that ignores that slavery was already endemic in Africa, and African kingdoms resisted abolition even as the British forced it on them.

Lloyd's of London is the latest institution to abandon the Net Zero agenda, lifting a ban on insuring fossil fuels. About time, says Ben Pile. Green ideology is finally meeting its nemesis: reality and the bottom line.

Voices Of Republicanism: An Indyradio Documentary

'Voices of Republicanism' is a documentary on the current state of the Republican movement. Through discourse with activists from a wide range of political backgrounds and of varying ages we attempt to provide a small insight into the movement. This is a documentary through the words of people who were there and have seen it, those who still carry the torch of Republicanism and those who have made a break with the movement entirely.

We interviewed members of Republican Sinn Fein, The Workers Party, Workers Solidarity Movement and Eirigi about their past involvement in Republicanism and opinions on where the movement is headed. Dan Keating's interview (courtesy of Carmel Whelan) is worth listening to alone considering his life as a republican spans almost a century (Dan is 105) and he fought in the war of independence, was interned many times in the Curragh and was involved in the 1940's mainland bombing campaign.

We interviewed these specific groups because they were the ones who got back to us in time but contact was made with all known Republican Parties some of whom won't talk to anyone smaller than Sky News apparently (we won't hold a grudge). If you would like to take part in the next installment please feel free to email us, we would be happy to hear from anyone who has something to say about Republicanism and where it's going.

The main documentary is a collection of all 4 interviews in a radio-friendly half hour podcast, the raw interviews are included below for those who wish to hear more from any of the groups involved.
