Today the Catalan parliament became the 2nd of the Spanish state's regional legislatures to prohibit bull fighting following the decision by the Canary islands. The Canary decision was more palatable for afficionados of bullfighting because they had never had a tradition of the ritual which leaves neither side indifferent. The decision by the Catalan parliament to become the first Iberian mainland regional government to prohibit bullfights (noting that the tradition is practised in Portugal as well) has of course been and was going to be linked to Catalonia's resentment of the insistence of the Spanish state to homogenise identity and culture to the detriment of its own plurality. read full story / add a comment

This article looks at the reality behind the demonstrations and riots on July 12 in Northern Ireland. It looks at the changed role of Sinn Fein. Sinn Fein used to play a miltiant role in protests against Orange Order marches. Now it calls the Northern Ireland Police Force in against the marchers. Sinn Fein has become firmly part of the bourgeois state. The implications are clear for those who wish to challenge it. read full story / add a comment
