offsite link Ozzy Osbourne, Oasis of Heavy Metal Sat Jul 26, 2025 13:00 | James Alexander
Professor James Alexander, who once played in a Heavy Metal band, pays tribute to Ozzy Osbourne as a pioneer of the genre that for many young men supplies an identity and lifestyle. Yes, it's weird. But it has its place.

Thanks for posting this Con and fair play to Joan Collins and Drimnagh locals. I'm disappointed that RAR hasn't issued a statement .

"It had nothing to do with the fact that they were Poles. It was, I'm afraid, just hooliganism at its worst".............. Bertie Ahern speaking in Warsaw
The Gardai have also been anxious to downplay any racial involvement , implying that the incident was just a minor altercation that got out of hand. It reminds me of how the RUC always used to instantly say that there appeared to be no sectarian motive whenever a catholic was murdered in the north.Media reports one or two days after the attacks about locals hearing members of the gang shouting at the two men to "get back to Poland " do not appear to have been followed up .
There seems to be a lot of wishful thinking going on . The mother of one of the two men has said that she hopes that they were not killed just because they were Polish . I hope that as well , but I have heard an increasing amount of anti-Polish/immigrant sentiment recently . These murders should be fully investigated before it is concluded that the men's nationality was not a factor in their murders.
