    I was in journalism college with Bailey and knew him most of his time afterwards living in the UK. I visited him Gloucestershire, Newent, where he lived with his first wife - who left him because of his violent nature - and subsequently in London. In 91, when he was in debt to the Inland Revenue and had reneged on a property mortgage in West London... I helped him load up a small van so that he could 'slip away' to hide in Ireland. He returned to London shortly after the du Plantier murder, where, over dinner in my apartment, I pressed him on his involvement after he told me that on the night she was killed he'd been howling drunk on the hills close to her home. He became very agitated, threatened me with a knife. And, after an argument, where it was patently obvious he was culpable, I managed to get him to leave. I know (knew) Ian Bailey very well. Friends for many years, I was always aware of his tendency to snap violence. Now, reading news and watching these videos (full of absolute trumped-up rubbish...) it's obvious that Bailey, in the face of such a grotesque crime, managed to hone his deceit to such an extent that many have been convinced (ie Jim Sheridan... who knows nothing of the man) of his innocence. His verbal tics, mannerism of deception are only to familiar to me... I hope soon the truth about his involvement in this tragic murder will be uncovered.

    • @SarahMcMillan-zk2uk
      @SarahMcMillan-zk2uk 3 дня назад

      This is very interesting. I knew him for a very short time via social media connected with his poetry. I believed his innocence, had nothing but genuine compassion for him and we communicated well then one day he just turned very abrupt and rude. It left me wondering...

    Kevin of course derelict now so it looks very eerie and awful. When you talking about frontal lobotomies etc you talking probably about before the 1930s I was a nurse there for several years. A HSE long stay hospital and an admission unit also. Well run wards and the patients well cared for. While long stay hospitals may not have been ideal, sadly now a lot of our vulnerable, socially marginalised and mentally ill people are on our streets with nobody to care care for them. Now that is the tragedy of our society today.

    Some great Graffiti & Street Art (plus 'hybrid' stuff) here. Love the Ming the Merciless piece (congratulations on getting returned to Europe, Ming! Lol!) and that 'Crac'(??) Piece (the 'Nate' one with the cowboy) and most - all of 'em, really. I've been gone from Cork over 30 years, only been back for the odd family occasion, and I do miss the place 'terrible, like...' Of course, if I ever moved back, after 5 minutes I'd probably be like, "God, you can't move in this town but for 'langers', no wonder I left!" The mural on the sub~station was 'grand', I expect it was sponsored by some eaterie or coffee shop, but 'Huguenot Quarter'?! 😖🤮 Huguenots?! Yerra Yeah, Boy! You can't move for all the f%&king Huguenots either! "We haven't room for our own!" 😉 Lol! Seriously though, what is it with these 'Yup~Ster' types and their 'rabee' for calling everywhere the _'this_ Quarter', or the _'that_ Quarter'?! When I was a boy, we had The Northside, The Southside, and The Marsh... There was no 'Quarters'... What's going to be next? How 'bout "The Needle Quarter"?🤨😉

      ​@@TonightWithKev There's a place in The Glen, Rathmore Road, if I remember right? Naw, I'm joking of course. They wouldn't have me. They'd be afraid of me taking over! By pure co~incidence ["There are no co~incidences!" - The Algorithm], I watched one of your videos there a while back, of night falling on the docks. I was giving out about the 'quarter' thing there, too! (Obsessed much?!) "No Quarter given or asked for!" I say. Anyway, I never made the connection until I watched it again after the Art video. Lovely piece of work, great photography; very atmospheric. What really topped it off though was the original music. A man of many talents, it looks like! I got kinda the same feeling seeing the R&H Hall Silo kind of brooding there for the last time before they knocked it as I did watching the old Classic Cinema falling under the ball & chain one night, back in the very early '90's. Progress, I suppose... Something, anyway. I know most people won't miss those grain (feed?) elevators, but having grown up with them, I will; and as industrial architecture goes, it actually wasn't a bad example. Let's hope those new luxury flats ('a - _porrt_ - ments'?) going in there will be a worthy successor. If nothing else, it's housing, anyway. Sorry, if I'm gonna be waffling on about the old docks, that video would have been the proper place for it. Getting back to this one, in my original comment there was a few works I overlooked, although to be fair, if I was to note everything I liked, it'd be more like a case of "OK, what don't you like?!" But I was kind of taken by those abstract geometric pieces at 0:38 & 2:46; and again, the graffiti (I like graffiti! Like the Silo, loved by few, hated by many! Clearly though, pretty well all of the ones in here are permission pieces) -- The metallic style 'TGB' one, and those mental looking ones with the rats and the vampires, and the cops, and the robbers! (Guy ought to go into comics!) Last word (of many! 😔) -- some lovely (like the young 'uns say - 'Sicc!') drone work here, just like in the other video.
