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.

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.

In Cloverhill prison this morning, July 2nd, Micheál Ó Seighin said that what the 5 men who are in jail want is for the normal technical standards of the oil and gas companies themselves to be applied by Shell. They are not looking for any privileges.

They will not purge their contempt if it means putting people’s lives in danger. They have no contempt for the courts, but human life has a higher value than a High Court injunction.

I bPriosún Cloverhill maidin inniu, 2 Iúil, dúirt Micheál Ó Seighin nach raibh ón gcúigear fear atá sa bpríosún ach go gcuirfeadh Shell i bhfeidhm na gnáthchaighdeáin teicniúla atá ag na comhlachtaí ola agus gáis iad fhéin. Níl said ag lorg aon phribhléid nó aon rud eisceachtúil.

Níl said chun leorghníomh a dhéanamh sa díspeagadh seo más ionann sin agus sláinte muintir an Rois a chur i mbaol. Níl aon dímheas acu ar na cúirteanna, ach tá an bheatha níos tábhachtaí ná urghaire de chuid na hArd-Chúirte. ... read full story / add a comment

The Ernst Kirchweger Haus (EKH) in Vienna, Austria was squatted in 1990. During the past 15 years it became an internationalist, anti-fascist, self-run space.
Since midnight, 2/3 of the house is without contracts again, so the people inside are now preparing for the case of eviction and mobilise to make public pressure for a written, law-valid guarantee. ... read full story / add a comment

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
