WP NO TO NICE 2 Why the Workers' Party says No to the Treaty of Nice BACKGROUND AND CONTEXT On 7th June 2001, the Irish people will be asked to make an important decision on the future of this country by referendum. That decision will affect the life of each and every citizen . It could drag Irish soldiers into wars started and sponsored by powerful nations happy to use the smaller countries as their pawns. Even on the most benign interpretation the route proposed by the Government, unless resisted, will change fundamentally the rules and institutions of the European Community. Despite this it is virtually impossible to obtain a copy of the subject matter of the referendum unless you have access to the internet. This is a referendum conducted by stealth. What is it about? Why is the Government holding a referendum? Why the cloak of secrecy in what should ... read full story / add a comment

The Millennium marks over 2,000 years of European Imperialism, the ideological source of which was the Roman adaptation of Christianity. Ironically, imposing Christianity by the sword also marked the end for classical Roman Empire. Today in Brussels, as in imperial Rome, Euro-Federalism is imposed whilst swords are sharpened. ... read full story / add a comment

Four times in the past week or so citizens of this country have been expelled from Shannon airport while witnessing the illegal transit of foreign military personnel and hardware. Ejected, barred, car clamped, dragged into a van and driven out by the airport 'police'. And the serious crime that warrants this? Possession of a camera, binoculars and notebook. It seems Aer Rianta doesn't like publicity about the illegal use of Shannon airport, and doesn't mind abusing its power to stop it being reported. I think Inspectors O'Grady and Martin will get my gold star for petty harrassment. Oh, and moral cowardice. When told they might be called as witnesses in the high court, both of these grown men reused to turn around to see the aircraft or troops. ... read full story / add a comment |
