Well I decided to call Ryanair to make a complaint about the way they were insulting Che Geuvara by putting berties face on him. I rang their head office in Dublin. It was Sunday just gone. There was a message recorded which I listened to. It gave me a number to call to deal with a human. I'll put the exact numbers here later. I was informed this would cost 1.75 in euro from ROI or 1 pound from the UK to call. The message clearly stated (as I noted a little later) that the number was for an irish office. ... read full story / add a comment

U2 have announced their second concert in Ireland for this summer. They are doing this through their promoter, MCD. (MCD also promoted the elevation tour) It's interesting that they name their album "How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb", and then use MCD, which is owned by Clear Channel. Clear Channel is closely aligned to the Bush administration, and support for the Iraq war exists throughout many of its radio stations in the United States. Actions ranging from bulldozing Dixie Chicks albums to censoring Rage Against the Machine songs have been taken by Clear Channel stations. ... read full story / add a comment

Today President Lula addressed thousands of activists in social movements in Brazil, and through them millions more across the globe.
And he got jeered by the impatient. You'll get that.

We live in the time of soundbytes.

& billionaire philanthropist pacifists with major stock in arms corps and undeclared interests in narcotic routes and the fine post-graduates who work for them spinning tissues of deceit and benovelance. ... read full story / add a comment

# diphtheria, tetanus, and pertussis (whooping cough) measles, tuberculosis, and polio.

These are the illnesses you ought to have been immunised against as a child or as a teenager if you're female.

With the exception of tuberculosis these desiese are now controlled in the developed world. TB is returning and TB treatment centres are found in most eastern US cities and many European cities. I'll write about the new forms of TB in the fourth of this series.

# hepatitis B
# Hib
# yellow fever
are desieses against which many millions of children in the non developed world need vaccines.

Yesterday, the Gates foundation gave 750 million$ to GAVI the global vaccine alliance.
The donation was immediately supported by the state of Norway which gave $290 million, and this morning the UK has committed a further 750mil$ (=£400m) . These are comitments of annual support until the year 2015. ... read full story / add a comment

Not sure whether you're aware of this, but it looks like something major is about to erupt in the SDS! Apparently it’s over the planned relocation of the SDS to Portlaoise. Just to let you know that the company have started suspending Sorters in SDS and the next move is the Drivers, I will keep you informed.

These are the latest developments in the SDS. A rapidly exploding situation. All the late staff have now been suspended. Watch this space! ... read full story / add a comment
