Kim Leadbeater's assisted suicide bill has been described by MPs as a "farce", an "embarrassment" and "beyond a joke". But last night's damning statement from the Royal College of Psychiatrists may be the fatal blow.

When politicians claim the public supports extreme measures like banning meat or digital ID you can be sure that behind it is a Citizens' Assembly or other dubious method for manufacturing 'consent', says Alex Klaushofer.

offsite link Saving Greenery From the Greens Wed May 14, 2025 13:00 | Sean Walsh
Greens have hijacked environmental concern and turned it into a branch of radical Leftist politics. But in truth conservatism cares about conserving our home. Conservatives need to reclaim green politics, says Sean Walsh.

Thousands march in Basque for Civil Rights - Others in Madrid for Fascism

category international | rights, freedoms and repression | other press author Sunday March 11, 2007 00:52author by hogworts Report this post to the editors

Saturday saw thousands march in Bilbao the Basque country for civil rights & calling for an end to the so-called "18/98 macro-trial" which has been brought against diverse members of the Basque separatist or independence groups as well as others engaged in cultural activities.

Basque TV coverage :-

Meanwhile a large demonstration was organised in Madrid by the (far) right-wing principle party of the opposition the PP which building on earlier mobilisations of traditionalists opposed to the decision by the Zapatero regime to allow house arrest to a ETA hunger striker - saw yet more wonderful and symbolic use of flags.

The Madrid protest made RTE & most European commercial media as an "anti-government" mass mobilisation. I can't waste time explaining yet again the subtleties to you -
(those who are interested in seeing a photo of a previous smaller demonstration a fortnight ago with a comment in which I explained the strategy of the PP may go here - http://indymedia.ie/article/81174#comment184753 that strategy has not changed)

(those others who understand that the PP in their use of street politics and attempt to hijack both flag and anthem of Spain are sailing in very dangerous waters ought go here :- & there see a man with a fascist era flag http://barcelona.indymedia.org/media/all/display/33442/...x.php [both illegal and unconstitutional] chat with a PP steward as photographed by the EiTB Basque TV]

& that's all to say about it for the moment.
