Blair is an evil lying monster. Why do we have to listen over and over again to his lies? It's driving me mad. Is "democracy" where we elect dictators? A huge power vacuum has been created - people who have been lied to and made to pay for a fascist war who no longer trust these so-called leaders - what are the plans to hold onto this anger, to advance a huge movement towards pulling these tyrants in suits from their pedastals? I don't know where to turn - apart from ramming my f*cking shoe into the nearest ignorant fascist Fianna Fail politician's face. Somebody give me an alternative. I have time and energy wasting away here..... (terms and conditions apply) read full story / add a comment

Copts (Christians of Egypt) are not asking for special treatment to compensate for centuries of discrimination and persecution. They are only asking for equality. They don't want anything more, and they will not settle for anything less. It is hard to believe that , at the turn of the 21st century,equality to Copts remains a luxury they still dream of. This at a time when the rest of the civilized world considers equality a birth right to be taken for granted. read full story / add a comment
