The Six One News tonight was followed by a Consumer Soap Opera 'Docu' special on the intimacies and murder of the O Reilly Marriage. Serious Reporters discussed with alacrity the 'ins' and 'outs' of the case. This is because RTE are consumer driven shite and incapable of Opinion and analysis. -They like to give the public what it wants- This kind of mentality drives US Consumer TV where Newsreaders burn reports on Paris Hilton. When did RTE last analyse Geo- political movements GM/ECO/. It has become popcorn TV for the Great brainwashed Irish Nation. read full story / add a comment

I have a problem with many activists- those who go on about social justice such as socialists often ignore environmental issues, likewise Greens and environmentalists tend to think social justice issues aren't that important- they are after all usually middle class..... read full story / add a comment

In the last while attention on this site has been brought yet again to the suicide crises & adjacent mental health issues amongst our young. We've read much & been directed to yet other sites and resources who like most of us want to do our bit to tackle the problem. There seems to be growing concensus that the nasty hard approach just isn't working. Yet we've still got some work to do in appraising what that means & how it ought influence contemporary anarchist & friends activism, conversation, chit-chat & attitude. It goes without saying the judicial, penal & educational policies and frameworks of both the Irish state & Irish society have a role to play. But lest we get diverted into learning a list of "warning signs" & "indicators" of those dealing with the various psychological or emotional challenges which may lead to suicide I thought to bring it back to primary school.

The failed terrorist attacks in the UK have prompted another debate about the causes of such violence – and the ways to end it. Anyone who seeks to lay some of the blame at the door of western governments must expect a torrent of abuse from right-wing commentators and the “Cruise missile Left”, reinforced by a useful collection of house Muslims and renegade jihadists keen to put the spotlight on factors within the Muslim world that are beyond the influence of US / UK elites. read full story / add a comment

In 1941 a bill was brought before the Dail which would make trade unions pay for licences to negotiate on behalf of their members. Without a licence workers and their unions could be sued by employers for loss of profits if they went on strike. read full story / add a comment

For the first time in their history, the Irish Green party is in government. The deal that they struck with Fianna Fail has been criticised in many quarters as a “sell-out” – and with some justification, since the Greens have changed sides on the issue of Shannon airport’s use by the US military, the conflict between Shell and the residents of Rossport and the decision to route the M3 motorway through the lucratively re-zoned lands of Fianna Fail supporters, who happen to live near Tara. On these, and other issues, the Greens switched, overnight, from a position of opposition, to jobs in a government that is implementing them - with force when necessary. read full story / add a comment

No-one has put a street value yet on the 110 kids seized by lifeguards and customs guards today off the Dun Laoighaire coast. Nor has the Taoiseach made a facine statement to the Dail on the increase in irresponsible use of leisure craft in our waters. But analysts like me are quick to point out the links on safety issues as the suicide prevention exercise organised by the Royal St George Yachtclub under the smokescreen title "junior regatta" occured on the same day 11 teachers ran rather than walked down the stairs of the National musem of Natural History causing it to collapse. Ambulances were obviously stretched to the limit and headshots today went untreated. read full story / add a comment

We do not know if the new improved EC Constitution which will be voted in 2008 includes a 'God Clause' but we do know that the good German Doctor Kues has plans for the women of the EU, which is to promote the equality agenda through rediscovering the traditional family. This should make the Poles and the Right wing Irish who collude so diffidently in the oppression of women remarkably happy. http://www.eu2007.de or -www.eu2007.de: read full story / add a comment

The Iraq war was won and lost a long time ago. Now it's time to get out and go home. Like Vietnam the United States is fighting an enemy that will not give up. Like Vietnam the US is fighting an enemy on their home turf. Like Vietnam more and more Americans are turning against the powers that be that got us into this war. Unlike Vietnam we won the war and now comes the cost. read full story / add a comment

This is very serious and something has to be done about this hideous proposed Planning Application on the grounds of the Kilmardinny and Super Valu on Lorcan Avenue in Santry. Many of these apartments that they want to build are 6 storeys high in an area which has always been a 2 storey area. Naturally the residents of the area, especially those most effected by this proposed development, those on Lorcan Avenue and Lorcan Grove are vehemently opposed to this on a number of grounds; including; but not limited to; increased traffic, noise and pollution, reduced water pressure, loss of light and lack of privacy, and are preparing to fight this very strongly. Now this particular version of this Planning Application has been declared invalid, but from all the information available, they are going to reapply again very soon with the exact same plans. Click on the link below and read the full information on this Planning Application below as well and see for yourself the huge size of this. read full story / add a comment |
