Every year the NYT issues "quotes of the year", hardly newsworthy for us lot who generally ignore the list which is awash with Bush gaffes & gurglings. But this year is different because Bush hasn't even made the top ten & the number one quote goes to a story which excited our interest & in its own way became a milestone in extended policing issues. I refer of course to the taser-ing of a student who heckled John Kerry whose immortal line " Don't Tase me Bro! " not only gave us a new verb with which to enjoy the usual holiday season scrabble sessions but was watched on youtube by hundreds of thousands of people just like yourself. read full story / add a comment

In early December classroom assistants in the North returned to work after a series of strike actions which had gone on since September. This action by the classroom assistants showed in stark form the two faces of the trade union movement. On the one hand there was the tremendous bravery and solidarity shown by the workers themselves in standing up to attempts to bully and harass them back to work. On the other hand was the duplicitousness and skulduggery of some trade union bureaucrats who not alone did their best to undermine the dispute but actively worked with management and politicians to betray the workers. read full story / add a comment |
