There's a climate emergency, so cough up, say insurers. It hasn't stopped them raking in billions, notes Chris Morrison. And no wonder: weather losses are actually down compared to 35 years ago. Time for a bit of honesty?

Is democracy dying? That's what everyone is saying. Killed by populism, apparently. Prof James Alexander suspects the educated classes may not know what they're talking about.

Secret police get excited by embassy picket

category dublin | crime and justice | news report author Thursday August 28, 2008 21:49author by Joe Report this post to the editors

This evenings picket of the Spanish embassy in Dublin 4 had a pretty good turn out considering it was called at less than a days notice. No less than 15 anarchists turned up as well as perhaps a dozen uniformed cops and four secret police. The secret police were so friendly they insisted on taking everyones name and addresses.

Demanding the details

This level of attention from the Irish secret police for an embassy picket is to say the least a little unusual. Normal such affairs are a question of standing around for a dull hour in leafy suburb while oblivious cars pass you by.

What warranted the level of attention this evening? The subject seems pretty unthreatening, the demand for the release of a man jailed over 22 years ago for bank robberies that took place in the 1980's. In Ireland, north and south, those who robbed banks that long ago are more often found in government than in jail.

The picket was in solidarity with Amadeu Casellas an anarchist prisoner of the Spanish state who is approaching his 70th day on hunger strike - see http://www.indymedia.ie/article/88865
