Millions of pounds of taxpayers' money end up in the coffers of Left-wing think tanks each year, says Charlotte Gill. Isn't it about time we turned the tables and asked: "Who funds you?!"

Any electrician knows that Lego bricks are genderless, not 'heteronormative', because each can 'mate' with any other. Perhaps Science Museum staff should study to be electricians and actually make themselves useful.

The Regime is now deploying a media fraud that (without any evidence whatsoever, as usual) claims that 3 "mystery ships" are carrying Iraqi "weapons of mass destruction" around the world. http://news.independent.co.uk/world/politics/story.jsp?story=379623 But a Canadian article suggests they are nothing more than the usual smuggling vessels employed to bring in people from China and other Asian countries. http://canada.com/national/story.asp?id=D11D5E6C-7D0D-4323-8057-A48B6415FF78 To see such ships, view: Chinese Immigrants from Mainland China to Canada http://www.library.ubc.ca/asian/FinalAsian/Canada/Thumb/Canada.html click on the thumbnails to see the larger images ... read full story / add a comment

100,000 plus people took to the streets of EU capital Brussels last Saturday 15th Feb, international anti-war day. 100,000 was reported by the mainstream media here but indymedia claims it was higher. The bureaucratic bourgeoisie capital was transformed for the day. Men, women, kids, dogs all came out in force to voice their strong opposition to the war on Iraq, plenty of colour, creativity, a beautiful day full of hope and solidarity. A large part of the demo also focused on the military use of the Belgian port Port DŽanvers by the US in the lead up to their war on Iraq. 100,s of groups- Communists, Socialists, Greens, Fair Trade, students, everyone. No arrests reported. This huge demo on the 15th highlights the growing support for the mass anti war movement here in Brussels and Belgium itself. Peace. ... read full story / add a comment

An Taisce's exciting environmental fiscal reform conference tomorrow in Dublin Castle from 11. Against a background of the unwillingness of the Department of Finance to supply any speaker, finance spokespersons Richard Bruton of Fine Gael and Joan Burton of Labour will join former EU Environment Commissioner Paleokrassis and other national and international speakers to address the key issue of environmental fiscal reform - probably, unfortunately, the most effective way to bring about an environmental agenda. ... read full story / add a comment

With the brilliant 1000+ person feeder march from West Belfast {organised by the West Belfast anti war movement group} and Mondays equally brilliant 300+ school students at the School Students Against War {SSAW} debate, other groups are now starting to get organised. Around 100 Belfast Lecturers have signed up against war with also a teachers group established and other anti war groups of organised workers under way. The huge interest that SSAW in Belfast has drawn with their actions and TV, Radio slots they have got along with the media articles written about them has gathered them many hundreds of students to their debates and protests from catholic and protestant areas all around Belfast. Similiarly hundreds more have attended the local anti war activist meetings and groups all around Belfast with hundreds more again attending fundraising events. We believe that these new groups will find similiar success. ... read full story / add a comment

Iranian officials insist that force's role in the north is defensive but its presence will exacerbate the concerns of the US and especially the Arab world that military intervention in Iraq will lead to a permanent disintegration of the country. Through inserting a proxy force, Iran is underlining that it cannot be ignored in future discussions over Iraq's make-up. http://news.ft.com/servlet/ContentServer?pagename=FT.com/StoryFT/FullStory&c=StoryFT&cid=1045510848273&p=1012571727088 ... read full story / add a comment

Freedland takes on the the "well, what would you do if you don't want to bomb the Iraqi people into freedom?" argument. Interesting suggestions include allowing the Hussein regime to sell oil but the money goes into a UN-controlled fund and is only released if democratic reforms are implemented.
