An article in today's Guardian newspaper about a riot at the UK's worst immigration removal centre, the Harmondsworth conplex, begins with a passage which might tell us something about why people there are rioting: "The Home Office today promised a full investigation after the discovery of a hanged detainee led to a "serious disturbance" overnight at the country's largest immigration detention centre. The death was not thought to be suspicious, but staff at the Harmondsworth complex - near Heathrow airport, west London - were forced to withdraw for their own safety." read full story / add a comment

This year's Twelfth of July celebrations were the best I have seen for some time and having listened to various reports from different parts of Northern Ireland everyone seems to be of the same frame of mind.

The Irish government is now threatening to deport immigrants on the grounds that their marriages to Irish citizens have broken down.

Notices of deportation were served within days of the Citizenship Referendum restricting access to Irish passports for the children of immigrants born on the island after 1998. read full story / add a comment

Greg Palast the investigative reporter and author of The Best Democracy Money Can Buy, carried this story for the BBC television show Newsnight and The Guardian newspaper in the UK back in 2000 and goes as far as to have in his possession two computer discs contains the 97,000 names of mostly Democrat-voting African-Americans which were illegally removed by the office of the Secretary of State of Florida from the Florida electoral roll. The list was so faulty that Mr. Palast even interviewed an conviction-free electoral returning officer whose name was purged from the electoral roll. Palast will also be revealing the details he has uncovered regarding precisely how Governor Jeb Bush [Bush The Younger’s brother] managed to swing Florida for the NeoCons when he appears as a panellist on a joint Minority Outreach Forum sponsored by the Congressional Black Caucus and Senator Hillary Clinton. read full story / add a comment

The klan`s "Imperial Wizard" - the head of the organisation - Ray Larsen spoke to Dubliner magazine, and has written to Ireland`s Justice Minister Michael McDowell in praise of his work. The KKK says it is "excited" by the Irish move to restrict citizenship, as it says, "according to blood-lines rather than birthplace". The klan has said it has no problem with white immigrants. read full story / add a comment |
