The last days have seen the various unions and collectives that represent spanish fishermen decide to blockade ports on the peninsula to demand a reduction in the cost of fuel. Its a European issue which has passed from state to state through the summer, and each government must fiddle with its budget to ensure that low costing subsidised fuel essential to its industry stays low. Despite hurricane supply pricing, despite Iraq, despite Mr Bush, despite the nerves that nigerians or poor south americans may blow up their oil wells. UK road haulers need cheap fuel too, and we remember their blockades didn't transpire this summer, well now its the Spanish trawlers turn... read full story / add a comment

The greater the diversity of life in a woodland, the greater the health of the woodland as a whole and the greater the health of all the individuals in the wood. Nature takes care of itself and will generate balance. The 'Woodsman' or the 'Hand in the Woods', to translate correctly, can help nature, can concertina time to a certain extent and can create a symbiosis with nature, with an ecosystem, with a woodland. Or the hand of man can destroy nature and destroy itself. read full story / add a comment

Spirits were high at the peace vigil outside the Four Courts today. We hung chime bells from the tree outside the courts as an act of solidarity with the "100,000 Rings" Bell Ceremony. Each bell ring represents a death in Iraq since the start of the war. More info at the Voices In The Wilderness website http://vitw.org/ read full story / add a comment

Judgment reserved in Rossport Five case Last updated: 25-10-05, 11:47 The 'Rossport Five' pictured after their release from Cloverhill Prison last month The five Mayo men who spent 94 days in prison for their contempt of court over protests against a controversial gas pipeline will have to wait to learn whether they face further penalties. The High Court today reserved judgment on the case of the five, who spent more than three months in Cloverhill Prison for failing to abide by an injunction preventing them from protesting against the high-pressure pipeline. The 70-kilometre pipe runs through some of men's land, only metres from their homes, from the Corrib gas field in the Atlantic to an onshore refinery at Bellanaboy. Micheal O'Seighin, Wille Corduff, Philip McGrath, Vincent McGrath and Brendan Philbin were read full story / add a comment

Last week saw the publication of this year's "transparency org" world corruption perception report. Its a report which is taken seriously by some, and certainly no country looking for foreign investment wants to be at the bottom of the 158 rankings. But both the annual list of "corruption perception" and "bribery perception" indixes, can not be understood as isolated statistics. Just as Greenspan's biographer assured us he takes stock of over 4000 weekly indicators, we can not consider just one single country or economy when discussing corruption or bribery. Nor can we refuse to draw in other human development indicators, (the UNHDR report) all the usual "facts and figures" and internal data. read full story / add a comment
