"In eunte Verae" (if I remember correctly from my schooldays) is a Latin tag which means "With the coming of Spring." The weather has been kind and growth is in the air. But what I hunger for is political growth. Will the Progressive Democrats national conference bring change or will it be, politically, another lost opportunity - another stale affair? read full story / add a comment

Anti-Nuclear Protesters from across the country are locked on to a 25 foot mock Trident nuclear Submarine outside the Scottish Parliament today. They are raising awareness of the UK’s obligations under the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty to get rid of Trident. There are 17 people inside the submarine locked on including a member of the Scottish Parliament Rosie Kane MSP. They began their protest at 10.15 this morning. A number of MEPs have come outside the parliament building to show their support. There have been no arrests as yet although the protests will not move until their Trident submarine has been dismantled – symbolising the dismantling of the real Trident subs. read full story / add a comment

Just in case you thought they had gone all soft and cuddly, heres an article from the current edition of the CPI publication 'Socialist Voice' justifying the Hitler-Stalin pact! Of course if you dare mention Stalin's crimes you are either a right-wing stooge or worse still an 'ultra-left'. Looking forward to their justification of the Moscow Showtrials.

Abuse of human rights is serious. It sometimes happens when undemocratic regimes feel threated by freedom movements. It is happening in the so-called war on terror because democratic US is seeking to maintain its access to an undue share of the world’s limited energy resources. Ireland is facilitating this torture process, and the even worse large-scale killing of innocent people in Iraq, by facilitating the US military transit through Shannon and the transport of prisoners for torture. Ireland’s reasons for this complicity amount to the worst of all reasons, just money. read full story / add a comment

The continuing campaign to ban human cloning has run into difficulties and the issue has been fudged by fundamentalist based politics and obfuscated by claims of Bush to victory.

The Muslim states abstain, Blair defies the world, the Pope mobilises the catholics,

Peace activist Ed Horgan (ex Irish Army Commandant) has been arrested at Shannon Airport for taking a picture of a US Hercules aircraft. This picture was taken in a public area. It looks as though the Irish State will stoop to nothing in its desparation to hide the evidence of illegal US troop movements. A private jet similar to the ones chartered by the CIA for illegal transport of prisoners for the purposes of torture was also spotted by him. He was unable to confirm this because he was arrested. read full story / add a comment
