France’s state of emergency—Sarkozy threatens mass deportations
By Antoine Lerougetel
12 November 2005

French Minister of the Interior Nicolas Sarkozy has given a clear racist coloration to the state of emergency, which was imposed at midnight on November 8. The following day, he explained to the National Assembly his instructions to the préfets (regional central government officials), whose task it is to carry out the police repression of the suburban youth revolt that has been raging in France’s council estates for over two weeks

“I have told the préfets that foreigners, who are legal or illegal immigrants, who have been indicted, are to be expelled immediately from our territory, including those who have a residence permit,” Sarkozy said. “When one has the honour of possessing a residence permit, the least that you can say is that you won’t get yourself a read full story / add a comment

The recent cutbacks in education in the north and
privatisation in education through PFIs and PPP's is
an attack not only on workers conditions but affects
everyone in the community from the children to the
kitchen workers and more than ever there is a greater
need to establish a education workers network that is
run by all and committed to building solidarity amongst workers and fighting the aggressive assault on education. read full story / add a comment

According to the Dáil Report in The Irish Times on Friday 11 November, the Taoiseach said: “Human Rights Watch went on to say that it was highly unlikely that this type of clandestine activity [i.e. the CIA's extraordinary renditions] would operate out of a major civilian airport.”

On this basis, we are to be reassured that we do not need to search US aircraft landing at Shannon.

In a letter to the Taoiseach, I quote reports from mainstream media sources of CIA aircraft operating its extraordinary abuses out of the following major civilian airports: Bromma (aka Stockholm City Airport), Dulles (Washington), Prestwick (Glasgow), Queen Alia (Amman) and Kastrup (Copenhagen).

If all of these airports have been used and abused, then why not Shannon? read full story / add a comment

I read the text of the this speech firstly with amusement and scorn but then with growing concern followed by shock then revulsion and finally REAL fear and terror. I cannot empahise how disturbed and sick I feel now.
This man is not just an idiot - He is evil incarnate and brimming with the most poisonous self-righteousness imaginable.
He is not pretending - he actually believes what he is saying. Anybody who is concerned about the future of the world must read this monstrous speech - It is even worse than the infamous "Axis of Evil" State of the Union address of 2002.
It does not auger well for Palestine or Iran or Syria or the human rights in the Middle East.
I have encluded the entire text. Read it closely and with awe at how far gone this guy and his country really are.

Bulk of text removed by editor. This speech is widely available on the internet. I have added the link

When forced to produce, what do we get? The same fanatic imbeciles that were paraded on the local media after the London bombings and some others armed with PVC pipe, ‘sticky-tape and chewing gum’! Compare these outcomes with real bombings in George St. Sydney, in the seventies. Most Australians are aware that, like all other nations, we have always had our share of extremist fanatics, they can be easily located in mosques, churches and synagogues around the nation. There is nothing new in this regard; the existence of social misfits does not warrant the implementation of draconian policies on a national level. read full story / add a comment

Anyone involved in or interested in Dolphin's Barn Community Garden is welcome to join us for a Social Gathering on Saturday 19th November. We plan to meet at the gates of the Botanic Gardens in Glasnevin (19 Bus) at 2:30p.m. After a visit around the gardens, we'll head to the Grave Diggers pub nearby for a couple of drinks. It'll be a good chance to talk about the year in the garden and plans for the future. With the reduction in daylight hours we haven't had much of a chance to meet in the garden for the last few weeks so it'll be a good opportunity to get together. See the follow up tree plant event separately described in the event notice for Sunday 20th November. read full story / add a comment
