Is that it? No links to Spanish media, no more information? Just a picture? No context? Waste of space!

If you want to be childish about measuring contents of 'information' then, arguably, your comment had even less information and was, thus, a greater waste of space.

Why knot try Madrid Imndymedia for a start, I thought that might have been obvious ;)

No need to get hysterical Robert. I never argued anything about measuring information. Here's a new caption for your picture:

"Romanian pacifists rioted today in Dublin after being confronted by Singhalese foot-fetishists. The above picture was taken of the Romanians who are living up to their name of 'riot police' and be quite clearly seen clubbing the Singhalese. Obviously there is no need for me to supply any more information."

Of equal obviousness is the need to submit this picture to the Newswire of Indymedia.ie which describes itself as "coverage of Irish life, politics and protest".

This debate is getting silly. "Indymedia is a democratic media outlet for the creation of radical, accurate, and passionate tellings of truth", that's all I read and I believe y picture was revelant to that.

Besides, your criticism was initally against my lack of providing enough 'important information' not whether it was relevant to Irish people/politics.


Besides... I didn't think anyone really cared that much about the type of news posted...
