Modern Ireland is sanctimonious and angry: DAVID PATRIKARAKOS (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The Guinness. That effortless warmth. ‘The Craic’. A nation of poets and storytellers, irreverent but fundamentally decent. A people whose chief role in international affairs today is the occasional extraction of cash from credulous Americans by convincing them their great-grandmother was from Cork. That’s the Irish for you – at least according to benevolent stereotype. Except now the image of modern Ireland is of a nation that is sanctimonious, angry, obsessed with its historical victimhood and
DAVID PATRIKARAKOS: Iran's waging a shadow war against Britain (opens the original)
Read excerpt

Blood is seeping from the dead man’s skull. He lies face down on the baking runway, and it pools around him like a halo. The mobile-phone camera, clutched by someone sprinting across the Tarmac, captures another corpse. This man’s left knee has exploded into a mass of scarlet gristle.
