I want to seperate out what is becoming problematic in terms of Irish Coalition Partnerships for a minute and focus on how those people who attain power actually begin to use it. For instance , the Irish Dáil is a place where ideology (of whatever flavour) is not an issue when entering into what we fondly term a junior coalition partnership/ relationship with a majority party (JCP). it doesn't matter a bit, no political party , whatever their stripe goes into poor areas and asks for votes , because they (and especially the Labour party) do not care to know about poverty. It is invisible to them, and mostly at the moment in terms of access to education. read full story / add a comment

...I wish to run a monthly meeting here dedicated to a specific human subject, like a philosopher or an artist. A very informal event, meant to be participative, where persons will have one month at least given to study the subject and bring in their contribution like readings, art, videos, performance actions, even if there is not a deep knowledge of these personalities, but dedicated to it and site specific. Conversations will be part of the evening event. Once is decided a name, everyone will have to submit to it, however people is allowed to bring suggestions. events with this will be run monthly on the third Sunday of each month here @ SHE-D 43 Gardiner lane D1from 6pm read full story / add a comment

Our annual school – the Communist University – takes place in a world in flux. The near hysterical euphoria that surrounded the election of Barack Obama in 2008 has evaporated as US foreign policy is characterised by aggressive continuity – for all the flatulent talk of “change”. Change has come to the Arab world – from below. Millions have risen in defiance of batons and bullets in a revolutionary fight for democracy and freedom. In the UK, we have see the first stirrings of revolt from the trade union movement against austerity and cuts with the gargantuan March 26 demo and talk of coordinated strike action. The movement across the rest of Europe is further advanced. We have seen huge mobilisations in Ireland, Greece and Spain. The battle lines are drawn. read full story / add a comment

They don't represent us! Rights are won, not given! We are not commodities! It is not a crisis, it is a con! If you take our future, we will take the city! We are the children of comfort but we will not be parents of conformity!

Introducing a new cultural website. After the death of England’s best-loved alcoholic gambling bigot, the queen mother, the Daily Mail rather ludicrously suggested that the fourth plinth in Trafalgar Square should be given over permanently to a statue of her. The Guardian impishly proposed the potential responses of contemporary artists to the challenge. For Antony Gormley, we got ‘the angel of the south’: a steel sculpture of an old lady, complete with cane, handbag, absurd hat and enormous aeroplane wings. This is how one pictures the angel of contemporary culture. Her eyes stare at hordes of tourists, bemused consumers of Britain’s heritage industry. Her existence is a cheap trick, a grandiose prosthesis grafted onto a piece of idiotic kitsch. Nobody any more is quite sure if she is a serious endeavour or a mischievous joke; the work of a dedicated artisan or of an industry. Unlike Benjamin’s angel,* she does not want to stay behind but to take flight from this shabby existence. Unfortunately, she is riveted to the plinth. These rivets are what we call capitalism. read full story / add a comment

'Fracking' is a term that not everyone may be aware of. It is used to describe a method of shale gas extraction known as Hydraulic Fracturing. Unfortunately it is a term we are very likely to hear a lot more about in the coming months and years. read full story / add a comment

J15-Catalan police used agent provocateurs in attempt to destroy M15 peaceful revolutionary movement

The M15 peaceful revolutionary movement in Spain has had profound success and has grown and still is growing. It has inspired similar things to happen in further afield, as Bob Dylan sang "The times they are a changin". Yesterday we saw on the streets of Barcelona, the second sinsister move by the Catalan state / region, the first being the well publicised extreme violent action by the Mossos (Catalan police) on M27. What we saw was the open use of "agents provocateurs" in an attempt to split the movement, discredit the movement, give fuel to those (politicians, media...) who wish to see this #SpanishRevolution come to a quick end. Well they have failed, their agents were caught on camera, watch the video, all is VERY VERY clear - Who are they real violent ones in this situation. M15 movement remains peaceful. We are winning. read full story / add a comment
