A ban on trade union donations to the Labour Party will not benefit anyone other than the enemies of the working class and the organised working class in particular. The Green Party leader John Gormley has announced that the ban is to be introduced, alongside a ban on corporate donations, so much for the Green Party’s veneer of radicalism. This “radicalism” has become very stale and particularly mouldy also. Of course the proposed legislation is designed to appear even handed. But the truth of the matter is that the link between Labour and the working class is potentially very important and the bourgeois understand that very well. read full story / add a comment

Tariq Ali has written the commentary for Oliver Stones new documentary about Hugo Chavez. Here he writes on how the film was made. Full story at link. Almost a year and a half ago I received a phone call from Paraguay. It was Oliver Stone. He had been reading Pirates of the Caribbean: Axis of Hope, my collection of essays on the changing politics of Latin America, and asked if I was familiar with his work. I was, especially the political films in which he challenged the fraudulent accounts of the Vietnam war that had gained currency during the B-movie years of Reagan's presidency. read full story / add a comment

A recently published study of long term health problems in the population of the town of Fallujah in Iraq, which underwent heavy bombardment by US forces in 2004, reveal uncanny similarities with the horrors experienced in Hiroshima and Nagasaki in the years following the atom bombings. However, in Fallujah, the current rates of occurance for cancers, birth defects and other abnormalities are higher than those experienced in the two Japanese cities in the wake of the A-bombs. read full story / add a comment

Gormley's mad proposals need to be halted. Its amazing how mad Minister John Gormley really is. He says that local councils can save 500 million euros in new reforms proposed that will affect vehicle owners.Its going to get so complicated and costly to own a vehicle in this state that most people will probably give up the dream of owning a car and content themselves with the fact that they will have to walk, or cycle depending on the distance. read full story / add a comment

The ban on the wearing of the burqa is wrong. Just as it it is wrong to force women to wear the veil. The French Left have been found wanting. Full story at link. The fact that only one French MP - a member of the rightwing UMP - voted against the ban on the burqa says it all. On July 13, the bill prohibiting the “covering of the face in public” received the votes of 335 deputies. The bill does not specify Muslims or women, but everyone knows who the targets are - the less than 2,000 women in France who normally dress in the full-length burqa or niqab. After the law comes into force next year - it has yet to pass through the senate and may face a challenge in the constitutional court - those who continue to cover up will face a €150 fine and/or compulsory citizenship classes. Those who “force” a person to wear such attire could be looking at a €30,000 fine and a one-year jail sentence (the penalties will be even stiffer if a minor is made to cover their face). read full story / add a comment |
