Prepare For Commentators Describing The Great Trump Harris Debate As Boring And Steady Verse Overbearing And Outrageous!
“Old” and “small” are two very critical words to use in tonight’s debate between Donald Trump and Kamala Harris. This will be the first face-to-face encounter between Harris and Trump, who are locked in a tight race.

Have you ever heard of Pavel Durov?
Defiance in the Face of Censorship and a quest for digital freedom. Riddle me this “When does a social media platform become a publisher?” More than ten years ago, in the ever-changing omni present landscape of social media, some very odd but significant yet little-known acts unfolded in Russia. At the centre of this Russian...

Is It Time To Leave Social Media Platform X?
Not a day goes by that someone asks if one should leave or stay on social media platform X. We all say we joined Twitter as it was once known, as a place to connect with friends, share experiences, and maybe learn something new along the way. Over recent times some of us have found...

The Greatest Sporting Stage Has Come To An End
After 16 glorious days, we now watch the teams arrive back home from the cavalcade of total joy and excitement from Paris Olympics 2024.  The French did a great job with the Champion’s parade. It stopped us all talking about business or politics. It really all came together. The winners and their teams pack up...

2024 Republican National Convention begins today Monday, 15th July, hot on the on heels of Trump assassination attempt over the weekend.
We all woke up on Sunday morning rubbing our eyes and asking. Did we hear the news correctly or was it a dream that someone tried to kill Donald Trump? I bolted upright and read it again, “a bullet grazed Donald’s ear.” Some might say it is his most unused organ in his body! Like...

The Day of Reckoning Has Come, It Is Payback Time For The Tories.
Few British politicians have risen as high as fast as the former British Prime Minister, Rishi Sunak. Reflecting on the lessons learned from the UK election, the most obvious have been the gaffe-fuelled campaign undertaken by the Conservative Party. The rolling series of errors and mistakes as the British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak stood in...

The EU DORA Legislation and a Communications Strategy
Recently, I had the opportunity to speak at the EU DORA Summit, the only conference in Ireland that predominantly focused on the critical importance of the DORA legislation which will be implemented at the beginning of 17th January 2025.

Reflecting on the recent two referenda: Communication Breakdown and where did it all go right for our no campaign
This weekend we were very actively involved in one of the two referenda, specifically, the care referendum. The two referenda on family and carers proved a good example of a complete failure to inform the public to the background of having these referenda in the first place. Many members of the public felt these were...

How was your day? May I ask did you have difficulty arriving at the carpark and getting into the building? Did you have to show your ID to come up the lift, passed security and log on to your station in the office? Today, some medical doctors’ offices are now using palm scanners to check...

The Last Beatles Song – Were you the only person to cry when you heard The Beatles new song?
  As the tune came on the radio a tear ran down the side of my face. The Beatles new song “Now and Then” has become a number one hit. Paul McCartney once said he never thought the Beatles would last. He said “We thought then, maybe we’d have ten years. That was the maximum...
