Mrs Thatcher once said 'there was no such thing as society or community', and she dedicated her years in power to destroying many working class communities, through privatisation and closure of industries, and the depletion of council public housing stock by promoting private property ownership. In Thatchers tiny insulated world of isolated inward looking, nuclear family units, living in detached or semi detached private properties, whose only opportunity for socialising is through the workplace, and only allegiance is to their isolated families, and making money. Hence the abundance of programmes on tv promoting buying houses, selling us the capitalist dream. read full story / add a comment

According to Yahoo News, the first Irish Viking Ship has been found in the Boyne river. This is surely a very important and exciting find. However given the track record of this government at destroying our heritage, in places like Carrick Mines, Tara, and many others, it would be entirely inconsistent of them to preserve this. Surely it should be sold off to the highest bidder at a minimum or broken up and incorporated somehow into chic-furnishings on a set of apartments overlooking the site. read full story / add a comment

Banner Display at Patrick’s Bridge, Cork, 5pm-7pm, Thursday 1st February 2007 The Cork branch of Shell to Sea will be doing a banner display at Patrick’s Bridge on the evening of Thursday 1st February. This should be a colourful display of many campaign banners and should provide considerable visual impact. On this day, Shell will be both announcing its annual financial results and celebrating the 100th anniversary of its founding. For the communities of Erris in Co. Mayo this will be no cause for celebration as they continue to resist the unsafe and unwanted Corrib Gas project, as they have done for the last seven years. read full story / add a comment

MediaBite have just circulated the second of our MediaShots, which addresses the issue of press coverage of the objection to existing plans for Corrib Gas in County Mayo. Titled ‘Gas Gaeilge and the Media’, the timing is appropriate given developments this week and also in the light of how press coverage of this issue seems set to sing from the Shell Oil hymn sheet without demur.
