national / politics / elections / opinion/analysis Wednesday January 18, 2012 10:22 by Andrew
The idea that calling for a referendum is a good strategy for winning significant reforms often crops up in campaigns. It seems logical, as a referendum is a chance for the population to directly make a decision on the issue to hand. But the reality is that the demand for a referendum is seldom, if ever, the best way to build a struggle for a reform. Here are five reasons why: read full story / add a comment

We Need To Be the Change that we want, we can complain all day long but that will achieve nothing, we need to take direct action against these bullies, these criminals, if we are too scared to do it for ourselves then we should do it for our children, any parent worth their salt would do whatever it takes to protect their child and that is exactly how we need to see this situation, what are we doing to protect our kids from what is being taken from them now and what will be increasingly taken from them as they grow up? read full story / add a comment

It would appear that new rules and regulations introduced by government are designed for the purpose of securing revenue for the state rather that resolve problems of law and order. Take for example RSA who-ha, who-ha that gets great press, lots of photo shots and then nothing. Within a short period of time all is forgotton and what was supposed to make a difference (regulations regarding learner drivers, taxi drivers ect, ect) is swept aside and left on the shelf to gather dust. And this applies right across all sections of Irish society where the band plays, colour lights flash in all their splendour, as suited gentlemen take the bows and then move on to more public eye catching events leaving everything as it was in the first place. read full story / add a comment

Seeing 'Bloody Sunday' on UTV last night reminds us of one of the worst Crimes of The Troubles when 13 Civilians were killed and 14 injured by the British Army in Derry on January 30th, 1972. No British Officer or Soldier was ever charged over Bloody Sunday. 40 years on the fight for justice goes on. Bloody Sunday not forgotten. May all the victims of Bloody Sunday Rest In Peace. read full story / add a comment

Eoghan Harris never lets up on the killers of Jerry McCabe. But what does he have to say about the killers of RUC inspector Elliott? Harris was a member of Official Sinn Fein when this killing took place. The OIRA were supposedly on ceasefire for 2 1/2 years. There is no record of Harris condemning the killing of Insp Elliot at the timet. Will he condemn it now and explain why he thought it was ok in 1974? Could it be that Harris is a hypocrite? Two men have been arrested by detectives investigating the murder of a policeman shot dead during a bank robbery in Northern Ireland almost 40 years ago. RUC Inspector Bill Elliott was gunned down as he attended the scene of the robbery in north Belfast in 1974. The 58- and 61-year-old suspects were detained in Co Antrim this morning. They have been taken to the police’s serious crime suite in Antrim town for questioning. Mr Elliott was driving on his own when he heard news that a robbery was under way at the Ulster Bank in the Rathcoole area in September 1974. The 48-year-old, who was married with a son, raced to the scene and died after a shootout with republicans from the Official IRA who were armed with two submachine guns and a pistol. read full story / add a comment |
