"Left" and "Right" - What am I?

Who would I vote for?

The Irish economy

The Irish left


The Irish right

The use of the term "right" here is to have a way of referring to these people, in the absence of a better term. The left uses "right-wing" as a pejorative term, but obviously I do not regard it as such. I would be happy to describe myself as somewhere on the "classic liberal" right, for example. I have elements of both left and right in my beliefs.

What this page is about is listing some of the defenders of the West in Ireland - the people who broadly support the democracies against the non-democracies. Whatever this makes them, it makes them not "left".

By "right" on this page I mean people that broadly support the democracies against the non-democracies - that broadly support the West against its enemies.

Not all the people on this page could definitely be called "right-wing". In fact, I'm not even necessarily "right-wing" myself. But we need some term for these people, and for people like me.

Disappointments

It is sad to see people who see left-wing nonsense on economics and crime for what it is, and then sign up to left-wing nonsense on foreign policy.

"Barbara Pym"

  

A bizarre exchange that I had in Apr 2020 with "Barbara Pym", an anti-IRA account.
"Barbara Pym" was anti-IRA, but blocked me for being anti-communist. What a strange mixture.
Even more bizarre, in May 2021 it was revealed that the apparently sensible Eoghan Harris was behind the "Barbara Pym" account.


  

Ian O'Doherty

I prefer Ian O'Doherty when he is being serious, rather than when he is trying to be funny.

George Dempsey

George Dempsey, former US diplomat in Ireland, is a good critic of the Irish left.




Summary - What can you read in Ireland?

What should someone who is centre-right on foreign policy (anti-jihad, anti-sharia, pro-West, pro-Israel) read in Ireland?



Pro-West media in Ireland




The Irish media's lowest moment: The Irish presidential election, 2011.
The Irish media failed to vet the winning candidate Michael D. Higgins.

Banned in Iran: This site is banned in Iran.

Blocked on Twitter by the regressive left and Islamists: I love debate. I love ideas. But the Western left and their friends the Islamic right do not return the favour. Their response to opposing ideas, whether expressed politely or robustly, is often to block. See Who blocks me on Twitter.

I like debate. But I do have rules. See Who I block on Twitter.

Twitter is broken, 2016 to 2022: I am on Twitter at markhumphrys. Twitter was a great place for debate before 2016. You could meet everyone in the world, and argue about ideas. Starting in 2016, Twitter became increasingly broken. It became full of reporting and bans and censorship. In 2019, Twitter even started shadowbanning me for no reason that was ever explained, or could be appealed. By 2022, everyone was looking for a better place to debate.

Twitter is saved, 2022: In 2022 Elon Musk bought Twitter and started to end the censorship. It looks great so far. Twitter seems to be saved.
