The Faux-Radicalism of Kneecap Wed Apr 30, 2025 19:00 | Andrew Doyle
Kneecap's vocal support for Hamas and call for fans to murder Tory MPs is obviously reprehensible. But it's just for show, says Andrew Doyle. The police shouldn't waste their time investigating rappers.

Pope Francis?s Liberalism is Not Why Young People Are Returning to Church Wed Apr 30, 2025 11:00 | Dr Roger Watson
As a Catholic, Prof Roger Watson is sure Francis was appointed Pope for a reason. It's just that he's damned if he can figure out what it was. Certainly, it's not his liberalism that's drawn young people back to church.

Jump To Comment: 1Thanks again Laura. This is all part of a much larger regional problem, of course. When one takes into consideration the fact that the human and therefore the potentially carnivore population of South Korea amounts to some fifty million , and one compares that figure to the vast horde that populates Korea’s northern neighbour, China . The Chinese - one and a quarter billion of them - eat dog and cat meat as needlessly , and by all accounts as willingly and regularly , as fifty million South Koreans do. My brother John and I would like to see the people of China educated , and their government held to account for the depraved cruelties they inflict every day on so many million defenceless individuals – yes, on individuals with individual personalities whose only “crime” is that they happen to have been born into a different species -specific individuality from our own .
John and I do not wish to be accused of Sinophobia in any way ,but to give some indication of what we in the animal rights movement are up against one has only to consider the prevalent attitudes of the vast majority of Chinese towards animals . Recent research indicates that animal murder for the production of such “delicacies” as “dog-meat stew flavoured with soft-shelled turtle” is as prevalent in China today as it is on the Korean peninsula. Let us not forget that this is a population that takes culinary delight – and indeed pride – in torturing animals in the preparation of the notorious “cruel courses” which are served-up in ordinary Chinese homes as well as in swanky restaurants throughout the breadth of the hugely populous country . This is the same country that holds its own Animal Olympic games to coincide with the official Olympics. Some of the “sports” that animals are forced to endure for the “entertainment” of their mocking tormentors at these “Olympics” can be viewed at this link:

In 2007, a small handful of well-intentioned Chinese groups organized a petition against the consumption of cat and dog meat by their fellow countrymen and women . Despite weak wording – it only committed signatories to “avoid” rather than “stop” eating cats and dogs entirely - the petition garnered a mere 42,000 signatures. That is 42,000 from a population of over a billion! Keep up the good work Laura and all at ARAN. We have to make a start somewhere on educating people about the rights of cats and dogs in this whole region whose teeming population constitutes a fifth of the world’s human inhabitants . S Korea with its links to the west may be as good a place as any to begin.
