The US military has admitted that it has killed six more children at the weekend in an attack on ‘a compound used by a militant to store arms’ near Gardez in Paktia province.

Welcome to the Big Lie. Bertie Aherne is quoted in this morning's rag of unrecord (The Irish Independent Fri 12th Dec) as saying that the exclusion of Ireland from eligibility to bid for "Iraqi reconstruction contracts" is a sign that his "anti-war" policy has worked well. Yes, you heard him right: An Taoiseach is gloating over the fact that Irish companies are excluded. Let's do him a favour and assume that this is a cynical attempt to make a silk purse out of a sow's ear rather than genunine idiocy on his part. ... read full story / add a comment

Please accept my apologies for the delay in this posting. Had an essay to do when I got back from London.
The overall atmosphere of the event was one of solidarity and inclusiveness. There was a 3 day scheduled lined up for the bush visit. Beginning on the 19th Nov and ending on 21st Nov. The first night say the environmentalists demo. A colorful and lively crowd with a wonderful bicycle powered sound system. The next demos of note to place on the direct action day. In general these was peaceful but with the excessive amount of police on duty it couldn't have been anything else. The final major demonstration took place with all the excitement that was expected/ The crowd lined the streets of London for as far as the eye could see. All of the planned events went off without any major incidents. ... read full story / add a comment

Over the past 5 weeks I have got myself a new job. Every Wednesday morning I arise at 7 am and head out to join the brother, along with comrades from the SWP Dun Laoghaire branch (who, in fairness, have gotten up even earlier!) and some local non-payers. Our mission to make sure that every bin on the Granville Road, Doonsalla, Watsons road is lifted whether they have paid some, all or no bin tax.
