offsite link Why is it Illegal to Burn a Koran But Fine for Pro-Hamas Protesters to Destroy a Union Flag? Mon Feb 24, 2025 15:21 | C.J. Strachan
Why is it illegal to burn a Koran but fine for pro-Hamas protesters to destroy a Union Flag? Why is one a "public order offence" and the other not? Because in two-tier Britain the one rule is that you can't upset Muslims.

Irish Republicans have throughout our history opposed all imperialist wars of conquest, from the Boer War fought by the British in South Africa at the turn of the last century, the First World War right up to the Gulf war in 1991 when we were the first to protest at the landing of US warplanes at Shannon airport. read full story / add a comment

Having become alarmed at the rising crime rate more than two years ago I decided to build a website to highlight the problem.
In that time almost nothing has been done to address the problem. How much more mayhem do we have to put up with before our elected representatives finally get around to doing their jobs? read full story / add a comment

The following passage may appear to be a string of non-sequiturs. That's just the punctuation. It is in fact a (slightly banal) list of reasons why people volunteer to take part in community development and other altruistic, organised and unpaid activity and work. read full story / add a comment

I thought this might be of interest for assorted lefts. I've written this article for a music fanzine in my own area, but it certainly has political relevance, especially for fans of the German industrial metal group. The politics of Rammstein have been debated for years, but those who I have spoken with have always been a little unsure of the actual stance of the band. Hopefully this article will go towards clearing this debate up in some ways. Any constructive criticism is appreciated. read full story / add a comment
