If the police reckon John 3:16 could be hate speech depending on your religion, we're in trouble, says KJ Swanley. Real hate requires malice, not just disagreeing with someone's beliefs.

Britain's Covid hangover is why schools, courts and the NHS are a mess, says Josh Glancy in the Sunday Times. The pandemic showed we're way too vulnerable to shocks and way too hooked on playing it safe.

Hi!
The CABHAIR Christmas Day Swim will be 40-years-young on the 25th December 2016 !

It began - properly structured and organised - in 1976 ,as a ‘fundraiser with a difference’ , combined with the need to gain extra publicity for a situation which was then - as now - making world headlines. Those that sat down together in early September 1976 to tighten-up the then ‘hit-and-miss’ affair were a dedicated team who fully understood that to fail in their business would not only bring derision on them and the issue they sought to highlight , but would give their enemy a publicity coup which they would be keen to exploit. With that in mind , the team persevered - favours were called-in , guarantees were secured , provisions obtained and word dispatched to like-minded individuals in that part of Dublin. At the appointed time on the agreed day - 12 Noon , Christmas Day 1976 - a soon-to-be 40-years-young event was ‘born’...
The CABHAIR Christmas Day Swim is , thankfully , still going strong and will be , as mentioned , 40-years-young on December 25th next!
