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.

offsite link Why All Parents Should Protest Against the Children?s Wellbeing and Schools Bill Tue Feb 11, 2025 18:14 | Elizabeth Dulley
Any parent can currently withdraw their child from school if they're unhappy. Labour's Schools Bill ends that right for many, giving local authorities a veto. That's why all parents should protest against this state power grab.

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.

The Irish police (An Garda Shítonyá) stand exposed as riddled with institutionalised corruption from top to bottom.

In the McBrearty case these bent cops set up innocent people for imaginary murder - and this scandal is not the greatest of their crimes. The ongoing cover-up of this case has lasted 9 years, and is now being exposed.

This 57minute DivX video document made from secret police interrogation footage and explosive documentation introduces the whole story. 100MB download. ... read full story / add a comment

Eleven Questions asked in the Dail this afternoon. Minister Dempsey was present.

Marking The Democratic Republic of Congo's independence day, over a hundred of Galway's Congolese and African community, along with a sprinkling of Galway activists, took to the streets today to protest against the wanton slaughter of 10 million DRC civilians this past decade, the refusal of the DRC's transitional government to hold elections and at the fact that life expectancy in their country remains at early to mid-forties.

This love bomb of a protest, the singing, dancing, drumming, the pristine joie de vivre made us token "sprinklers" sheepish (all of us seasoned protest marchers), made us feel that we are only saturnine tyros when it comes to protesting - with such positive energy, perhaps, Ireland's Congolese/African community
could do us all a favour by levitating the Pentagon 99 miles high before dumping it with maximum contempt into the Mindinao Trench?. ... read full story / add a comment

Outraged by yesterday's obscene jailing of the Rossport Five, Galway activists, their number greatly augmented by the Congolese and African community, picketed the dockland oil depot/offices of Shell Oil today.

The fiery Padraig Cambell inspired us with his no bollocks address, winkled out a hard hat Shell honcho from his, well, shell, to deliver a note of protest and, to boot, led a contingent of activists to the nearby Constituency Clinic of Eamon O' Cuiv to remind him of his duty towards his Gaeltacht brothers and sisters.

This coming Monday, at 10.30 AM, activists are urged to protest outside the Constituency Clinic (beside the Royal Rock Cafe, Ballybane Industrial Estate) of state minister, Frank Fahey. ... read full story / add a comment
