57 Million people in the EU are living below the poverty line 8 percent of EU citizens live in poverty 23% of those in poverty are children The Irish people have already voted NO to the Nice Treaty. This was despite all the propaganda of the government, big business, church, farm and trade union leaders. It was the only democratic vote allowed in the whole of the 15 country EU. Yet instead of listening to the voice of the people, the bureaucrats and politicians of Europe want us to vote again. And the Irish government are doing their bidding. It makes a mockery of democracy. Vote NO! ... read full story / add a comment

Thursday afternoon,1st august 2002. The incident occurred on Liffey St in Dublin opposite the entrance to Marks and Spencers. Two female garda were questioning a teenage boy who was playing the accordion on the street. The female officers were joined by what I presumed were plain-clothes officers. The boy was a non-national and clearly had difficulty understanding the officers questions. The officers proceeded to mock the boy when he couldn’t spell his name and one of the female garda began to comment on the boys weight. As the boy began visible more distressed one of the female garda said and I quote. “ Tell me your fucking name or I will send you back to Romania or Transylvania or wherever the fuck you come from” To say this sight was shocking is an understatement. In the end the officers told the boy to go away and then proceeded to laugh about ... read full story / add a comment

In recent days, Palestinian armed combatants and terrorists have been hiding out in churches and other holy places and their vicinity. Places of worship are offered special protection in accordance with international law. The penetration of armed terrorists into churches and other places of a religious character for the purpose of hiding out and/or carrying out acts of hostility, are a gross abuse of the immunity and the special protection granted to such places. Such acts are grave breaches of the First Additional Protocol (1977) to the Geneva Conventions, and constitute war crimes by any standard of international humanitarian law ... read full story / add a comment

THIS BULLETIN: We will be sending this bulletin occasionally from now on to a wide range of activists on the No-side in the Nice Re-run Referendum. We did this also in the lead-up to the Nice referendum in June last year and were told that many found that useful. The National Platform is a research and information group that seeks to provide information on EU-related matters to whoever wants to use it. We seek to ensure that our material is legally accurate so far as facts go, and can draw on experts in EU law for that purpose. People are free to make whatever use they wish of the material we send out. We have no more strength than the merit of our arguments, and it is for you, the recipients of this bulletin, to judge of these. ... read full story / add a comment
