A new?Lancet paper?has drawn?headlines?suggesting Covid is a greater myocarditis risk to children than vaccination. Diagnostic pathologist Dr Clare Craig dissects the study and finds this conclusion seriously misleading.

The ?10.5 billion cost of compensation for Waspi women ? which Labour has said it is now considering paying out afresh ? would wipe out the money raised by a 1p income tax rise, figures show.

The BBC?s Delusional Belief in its Objectivity Wed Nov 12, 2025 15:40 | Anonymous former BBC staff member
The BBC obviously leans heavily Left, says one former staff member, writing anonymously in the Daily Sceptic. But to the people who work there, their right-on views are just the 'normal' and 'objective' way to think.

Why Are Women Being Told Boyfriends Are ?Uncool? and ?Republican?? Wed Nov 12, 2025 13:18 | Joanna Gray
Women are being told it's "uncool" and "Republican" to have a boyfriend, with some even cropping out their partners' heads on holiday snaps. This is not going to help the birth rate or women's happiness, says Joanna Gray.

A BBC Reckoning for the Covid Lockdowns is Overdue Wed Nov 12, 2025 11:26 | Will Jones
Trust in the BBC has been collapsing for years. For many, it finally died during Covid when the national broadcaster took on the role of chief cheerleader for the lockdowns, no dissent allowed. A reckoning is long overdue.

Tá an scéal céanna amhlaidh in achan eagraíocht stáit a bhíonn ag plé leis an Ghaeilge.
Amharc, mar shampla, Údarás na Gaeltachta, a mbíonn cruinnithe rúnda acu nach bhfuil cead acu fuascailt caidé mar a chaitheann daoine a vóta ar rúin chonspóideacha.
Ní tharlaíonn sin i roinn ar bith eile den stát.
Cuirimse an locht ar na meáin Ghaeilge.
Ní amháin na páipéir Ghaeilge.
Cad chuige nach ndéantar craoladh ar chruinnithe an Údaráis mar a bhíonn ag an Oireachtas, Seanad agus Dáil Éireann?
Ansin bheadh a fhios ag daoine caidé a bhí ar bun ag na daoine ar vótáil siad dóibh.
Níl oscailteacht ar bith i gceist leis na heagraíochta stáit seo ar chor ar bith.
Udaras takes our tax money to give to businesses that create English-speaking call-centre jobs in the Gaeltacht, so that the workers can speak Irish when they are not speaking English...
I'm sure there's a logic somewhere in all that, but perhaps not at my expense.
about the glossary....
then you can read back over the pure gaelic piece and learn more bits of it....
What a beautiful, special language we have.It's one of our greatest treasures.
And since the EU recognised it , it is incumbent on all of us to use it more, play with it ,etc etc
Wealthy people come from all over the World to 'dip their toes' in our culture.
When Intel and Microsoft and the rest are all gone, it may be the only resource we have .

Tá ceist curtha sa Dáil faoin scannal seo ag Aengus Ó Snodaigh ar an Aire Éamon Ó Cuív. Níl a fhios agam an bhfuil freagra tugtha aige go fóill.
Aontaím go hiomlán le Daithí Lacha faoin rúndacht a bhaineann le hobair Údarás na Gaeltachta, agus an gá leis an obair sin a oscailt suas. Aontaím freisin le Puzzled gur beag an mhaith a dhéanann deontais an Údaráis don teanga go minic. (Agus, tar éis an rud a tharla le Contac 4 le seachtain anuas, is léir nach féidir brath ar na comhlachtaí seo ar chor ar bith.)
Ach bíonn na hargóintí seo le cloisteáil anois is arís. Tá a fhios ag daoine go bhfuil na rudaí seo ag tarlú, agus uaireanta pléitear iad sna meáin Ghaeilge. Admhaím nach bpléitear iad minic go leor, ach bíonn plé éigin orthu. An cheist seo faoi bhord Fhoras na Gaeilge, áfach, tá iarracht mhór ar siúl chun an scéal ar fad a cheilt. Níl iriseoirí na Gaeilge á fhiosrú. Níl nuachtáin na Gaeilge ag cur litreacha i gcló faoi. Tá na deontais mar laincis orthu, is cosúil. Déarfainn gurb é Indymedia an t-aon áit ar domhan atá ag plé na ceiste seo.
Tá an ceart ar fad ag Éamo faoi thábhacht na teanga, ar ndóigh. Chun a bheith cinnte go mbeidh sí beo, caithfear leabhair agus irisí i nGaeilge a bheith ar fáil don phobal. Ach mura gcuirimid stop leis an scannal seo, beidh cumhacht ag foilsitheoir Gaeilge amháin foilsitheoirí Gaeilge eile a ionsaí. Chonaiceamar cad a rinne an Foras do Comhar: ná ligimis dá leithéid tarlú arís.
FOCLÓIR
Ceilt - hiding. Fiosrú - investigation. Laincis - chain. Rúndacht - secrecy.
Is mór an trua nach bhfuil ceisteanna mar seo pléite sna nuachtáin Ghaeilge nó ar TG4 féin, ach smaoinigh mar seo air.
Tá na meáin uilig, a bheag na a mhór, ceannaithe ag na húdaráis.
I bhfocail eile tá siad uilig ag brath ar na móreagraíochtaí Gaeilge do fhógraíocht agus maoiniú. Deir siad nach dtiocfadh leo mairstin gan sin.
Amharc an rud a bhí ag titim amach le Lá Nua an mhí seo caite.
Ní ag déanamh leithscéil do na meáin atá mé, mar creidim go bhfuil neamart iontach á dhéanamh nuair nach gclúdaíonn siad cruinnithe Bhord an Údaráis.
Ach sin mar atá siad agus níl Lá Nua nó Foinse, nó seomra nuachta TG4 ag dul an nós sin a bhriseadh.
Bhí an t-am ann agus bhí suíomh idirlín www.craiceailte.com ag déanamh jab a bhí go hiontach ag plé rudaí mar seo ach níl rud ar bith ag tarlú leis le dhá bhliain ar a laghad, agus ní fheicim comharba ar bith ag seasamh suas le áit craiceáilte a ghlacadh.
Mar sin de, coinnigh ort ag scríobh altanna mar seo ar indymedia, mar is cosúil gur seo an t-aon dóigh le dearcadh mar seo a chur trasna ar chor ar bith.

Nach bhfuil sé faoi iniúcóirí an Ard-chuntasóra Stáit agus faoi bhaill an choiste Dála cuí ceisteanna a chur.
Is dóigh go bhfuil nósanna imeachta ann cheana faoi mar a phléann baill de aon choiste lena "leasanna seachtracha" fhéin
