Failed Entity

By Michael Benson (for the Blanket)

It’s been a long time since I put pen to paper. It’s also been a long time since I was in jail. Both of those things are connected. I wrote because I was in jail and after coming out, I’d no need to be writing. Sure, I wasn’t very good at it and there were others much more eloquent in their prose than I could ever be. I’m not even sure now why I am writing because I’m certainly not naive enough to think that my demonic scribbling will make any difference. But recently I have thought that if I don’t say something, in writing, that my head will explode with anger.

Despite increasing support for Irish freedom and unity, we need your help to overcome British and unionist intransigence. We can end the denial of our rights in relation to Brexit, the Irish language, a border poll and legacy issues, with your support.

Please support IRN now to help us continue reporting and campaigning for our national rights. Even one pound a month can make a big difference for us.
