Mrs. Eileen Wright's father died in 1972 leaving her mentally-handicapped brother Freddie Andrews the family residence beside Stormont and around 30, I repeat, thirty, Belfast city-centre properties to finance the upkeep and maintenance of the family residence for as long as Freddie would live.
Belfast's largest firm of solicitors, assisted a Belfast property developer to steal ALL Freddie's property including his family home. Even worse, the highest Courts in Northern Ireland, instead of having all Freddie's property reinstated and returned to him, have allowed their top legal officers to collude with corrupt solicitors and businessmen, support their criminal activity, condone their criminal activity and assist in the plunder of this mentally-handicapped man's property and money. Not only was Freddie Andrews unable to defend himself all those years ago against this shocking conduct, he wasn't really aware, and still isn't aware, of what was going on. Those in control of the legal system here in Northern Ireland refuse to allow the members of Freddie Andrews' family to even see the accounts of his plundered estate. A former Member of the English Parliament pleaded with the former Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher to have a public enquiry into this sordid affair, but without success. Other people including several top journalists, including the late Paul Foot, have fought to have justice done, but again without success.

... Yesterday, military sources in Israel announced that 400 of the 1200 Hizbullah "terrorists" have been killed. That's to say, a mere 1200 fighters have been standing against the tens of thousands of our soldiers, who are equipped with the most advanced weapons on earth, and hundreds of thousands of Israeli citizens are still under rocket fire while our soldiers continue to be killed. ...

The war in Lebanon is one month and hundreds of innocent lives old; the international community is displaying all the coherence and cohesion it did in 1939 – déjà vu! The solution today is as it should have been then – stop the invader with a confederation of nations opposed to the war. It stops! Count the nations for war, two, against the war, the rest of the world! read full story / add a comment
