The Covid Inquiry's presumption that the vaccines were safe and effective is like the Post Office Inquiry presuming that Horizon was reliable, say Ben Kingsley and Molly Kingsley. It compromises the entire enterprise.

President Trump can topple the Paris Climate Agreement house of cards by putting energy policy on a sound and rational footing. Indeed, says Tilak Doshi, any nation doing the same would reject the climate change hobgoblin.

When the state, the agencies of the state and the re-zoners(pardon me, Council)
are going to put a road through it. Thus 4,000 people objected to the An Bord Pleanala decision to Route the M3 through the Tara Gabhra Valley. One person goes to court to seek judicial review of that decision, (gets hammered for 600,000 grand) and the message we take from this is, do not attempt to engage with a system and structure of planning that is designed to disempower your community or your legitimate right to protest.

I quote from the affidavitt:
"None of the 38sites/monuments are considered to have a group value or to have
any relationships with the other monuments. At the risk of sounding frivolous, does this mean that they and their occupants or creators dropped out of the sky and did not interact with any other living soul or place in this landscape?"

This ,from the state is what the 600,000 grand paid for.

We are looking at appeal . ... read full story / add a comment

There is an exciting if rather belated anti-war initiative, being prepared here in Ireland, for Saint Patrick's Day. It was thought up by a member of the Derry Anti War Coalition, and has been put into action by an ad hoc group here in Derry but the idea is really striking a chord with everyone who hears about it. ... read full story / add a comment
