Is the NFU really worth ?36 million of farmers' money each year? David Craig says his experience of trying to get in contact suggests this bloated organisation needs a strong dose of the DOGE treatment.

Reform Takes Aim at the Green Blob Sat Feb 15, 2025 07:00 | Ben Pile
Reform UK has taken aim at the Green Blob as it "puts the renewables industry on notice". Some have criticised its windfall tax proposal, but Ben Pile says it's smart politics as it will already be scaring away investors.

No, Roberta Cowell Was Not ?Transgender? Fri Feb 14, 2025 15:11 | Zack Stiling
The Science Museum has repeated the claim that Roberta Cowell was Britain's 'first transgender woman'. This is false, says Zack Stiling. She was biologically female. Worse, she would have hated the trans movement.

the voice of Omri his grandson.
the voice of Gilad (also his grandson)
and symphonies of Mozart.

and thats how the story ends...
* As Palestinian security forces in the occupied territories vote today, its timely to look to Israeli affairs again. 58,700 security types are voting between Saturday and Monday so they can do loads of overtime on January 25th, when Palestinian civilians cast ballots in the West Bank, Gaza Strip and East Jerusalem. That mass deployment scheduled Wfor ednesday is to prevent political violence. Jan 25 will see Fatah (the party left by Arafat) fight Hamas.
* Being his usual "rabidly anti-israeli" the prime minister of Iran, as well as announcing the withdrawl of Iranian capital and investments from Europe in response to escalation of the "nuclear thing" has suggested that "if Europe opened its doors Israel would be empty". This really is quite curious. You see? Give him time and he tweaks the old pan arabist anti zionist position. This is because he isn't an arab.
*An opinion poll published in Haaretz suggests that the party Sharon formed is still ahead of Likud in voting intentions. "However, the results do not necessarily indicate that Kadima voters are not pleased with Olmert. When asked whether they agree with the sentence, "Olmert is Sharon's successor," 73 percent said they did. Among the overall population, though, only half of all respondents see Olmert as Sharon's heir. This too, is a positive result from Olmert's perspective."

*it really is quite curious what you get if you put Mozart through the imc ireland search engine.
*it was revealed this week, that in fact Sharon's eventual burial site had not been organised. His aides say he will come off the respirator in a few days. If he can breathe on his own this will mean he be more "alive" than "dead". Truly the miracles of science.
an error in medication to wit an anticoagulant probably led to the coma.
oh well.
live and learn. sure you have to be very patient with doctors and surgeons. they're not infallible. Of course he's still not dead...
A mercifully slow end. It has been reported that God is playing him audio tapes of the wailing of the dying in Sabra and Chatilla.
Is becoming like really a liability.
Who insures Lebanon?
would u like a cookie with your milk & honey?
its obviously a bit like getting into a swish club.
They look at your CV, trainers, credit card, & maybe even take bakshish to decide if you're evacuated or not.
3 days ago the Swiss were reported out just as indeed the Irish were:-
http://www.swissinfo.org/eng/top_news/detail/Swiss_nati...05000
Today the Irish are reported getting out and the Swiss didn't actually fit on the ferry to Cyprus.
http://www.swissinfo.org/eng/top_news/detail/Evacuation...68000
Someone is telling lies. Big fat porkies no less. & even though France has deployed troops and the British have docked a warship - NATO has made no declaration. Is this an EU military force evacuating again & again Europeans or is it a new coalition of the willing? Whatever it is - it has nothing to do with either dead leader of middle east politics Messrs Hariri or Arafat.
Doctors at Tel Hashomer hospital near Tel Aviv reported Sharon's kidneys as collapsing this afternoon. In the last five hours it has attracted the interest of obituary writers the world over including myself.
http://www.swissinfo.org/eng/international/ticker/detai...57000
So much has happened since he went into coma no? Worth an extra paragraph at least appended to a little article which complemented in its time the 9 part "Hariri Game" series (c/f http://indymedia.ie/article/77195 ).
the Irish President her excellency Mary mcAleese remarked that she'd be up for being the chief of staff of an Irish military presence in the Lebanon just like we had for 23 years. The Irish minister for defence 9mm Willie O Dea got upset because he's the boss of the military and we don't put in soldiers without voting about it. Well actually..... that was the case till a little while ago.... Mary Mc Aleese isn't allowed talk about soldiers unless they died at the Somme - its written in the constitution.

"This is what's going to happen next"
(1) A lot of EU money is going to get poured into southern Lebanon, and our soldiers are going to go there too and begin by protecting what's left of our investments and civilians as a bonus, and end up doing what Israel asks them to do -
(2) Ariel Sharon is going to die & get a state funeral, and lots of people may not want to go but then we'll know where they want to bury him -
Ireland will send flowers.
Could support what is happening in lebanon and send peace-keepers there?
As to Ariel Sharon , the failure of Zionism and the war of aggression that is trying to create a monster in the midde -east and supported by the Bush/Blair/Bertie regime is indicative of the obscenity of failed civilisation and of greed.
*Bertie still refuses to condemn the people who say "If you are not with us , you are against us"*
We witness in our failed democracy and lack of leadership that only two political parties have condemned the Gaza and Lebanon incursions Vocally and publically.(sorry three).
That Fine gael did not allow members to attend the 100,000 anti-war march in Dublin at the build up to amd onset of The second Gulf War.
*It is not cowardice it is collusion*.
Dermot Ahern is being questioned by the EU about rendition flights through Shannon Airport.
Leadership is lacking. I will say it again . FF is a bureaucratic fiddling service for big business interests and is made of fools and cowards.
five parties have condemned the war in lebanon.
Bertie Ahern has condemned the murder of civilians in the Lebanon.
however He has not condemned uS foreign policy which drives the beligerency and incursion into that region.
Widely reported news states that the US have given the Israeli's one week to complete the task at Lebanon.
The refusal to look honestly at the causes of war and not the effects or in US hawk terms : the collateral- is part of the cowardice of the current regime inIreland, which is intimately associated with the 'turning a blind eye' to rendition, despite the reports from the EU and amnesty that we are collusive in beligerence and human rights abuses.
Our media is full of disturbing pictures and reports of leafletting by the aggresors in this war which stand uncondemned by the Irish Government. the US foreign policy which carries the keynote message of fear , oft repeated is , "if you are not with us , you are against us".
This is the opening of another front in another war, that would see a strong leader call in the uS ambassador and making the opinion of the Irish people known.
Instead Mr ahern welcomes Jeb Bush to our country and allows human rights abuse to pass us by.
Bertie Ahern has not condemned the war in Lebanon. he has alluded to civilian casualties. he has not summoned the US ambassador, nor the Israeli ambassador to his office to condemn the war.
don't even have an opinion. Yet I'm restless enough to share it with you. Easter isn't just about roman & greek men dressing up, or Spain moving a fraction of its collateral assets about on the street. It's about the Holy Land too. I just wanted to ping something. send a signal. get my name in there.
I do believe this is part of the way to peace. neither proven to be paved with good or bad intentions. redemption. Yep. you get millions walking behind that banner & I'd hope to be there.
