The Labour Party has stated its opposition to any US led war with Iraq, especially when the UN Inspectors have yet to complete their report and without any resolution from the UN Security Council. In such circumstances Labour views a massive conflict with potentially serious loss of life as unwarranted, unjust, and against the wishes of the vast majority of people in Ireland, Europe and throughout the world. ... read full story / add a comment

Speaking about the Shannon Peace Camp this morning on Radio 1,Brendan O'Conor dragged journalism to an all time low, this guy oozes with the Irish Indo's ethic of -fuck off we'll say and write what ever the fuck we want even when we haven't a clue what we're talking about!- He accused protester at the Peace Camp of lying and misleading the public!

To call Blair a mere "poodle" is to allow him distance from the killing of innocent Iraqi men, women and children for which he will share responsibility. He is the embodiment of the most dangerous appeasement humanity has known since the 1930s. The current American elite is the Third Reich of our times, although this distinction ought not to let us forget that they have merely accelerated more than half a century of unrelenting American state terrorism: from the atomic bombs dropped cynically on Japan as a signal of their new power to the dozens of countries invaded, directly or by proxy, to destroy democracy wherever it collided with American "interests", such as a voracious appetite for the world's resources, like oil. When you next hear Blair or Straw or Bush talk about "bringing democracy to the people of Iraq", remember that it was the CIA that installed the Ba'ath Party ... read full story / add a comment

Dear All I just heard (was I dreaming?) that the 15th February anti-war rally has been BANNED by the Dept of Culture, Media and Sport on grounds of health and safety and because of the weather. First they plan to ban strikes (firefighters), now they ban dissent! How can any self-respecting democrat now support Blair? First they came for the terrorists, then the asylum seekers, then the trade unionists, now.... the people. Where is this government going? As Harold Pinter said at the Stop the War parliamentary lobby last week, we have an obligation to resist. These words are more true today. Over to you STWC leadership. ... read full story / add a comment |
