The position as I understand it of the Shellto Sea (from reading newspaper, listening to radio, watching television and following the debate on this website) is that they want NO gaspipe line or refinary to be constructed.
That position appears uncompromising. read full story / add a comment

Some do not want to remember those who died during WW1 while fighting in the British Army. But it should be remembered that many of them were economic conscripts and many others were duped into joining the BA by John Redmond.

Remember all of those who fell, be they Irish, Scottish, Welsh, English, Turkish, French, German Austrians, Russians or Anzacs.

Wear a Peace Poppy.

His anti-gang work during his 26 1/2 years in prison has been huge, for this reason alone I would be comfortable paroling him now (releasing him).

As it stands he is set to be executed on the 13th of December... read full story / add a comment
