While working on material concerning racism in the media, I found that nowhere on the internet could I get a copy of Mary Ellen Synon's infamous article she wrote in 1996 concerning Travellers. This article achieved a new low in standards of journalism in Ireland. Four years later, the same writer managed to offend all but Kevin Myers when she wrote about the athletes in the Special Olympics. I have scanned the 1996 article into our own web site for reference. Below is the text. read full story / add a comment

As the 'peace process' hits yet another brick wall, the rise of racism in the north is viewed by some as the price we will have to pay for 'normalisation', as though the blow-torch of sectarian invective will simply switch its focus on another set of blameworthies, marked out as somehow 'different'. read full story / add a comment

psychiatry's answer to mental health problems is psychiatric drugs which they believe help to correct the 'patient's' brain chemistry or bio-chemical imbalance. Critical psychiatry seeks a more holistic approach seeing personal/interpersonal, social and environmental contexts as the origins of severe mental distress. Psychiatric drugs with their damaging effects on the individual and the genetic hypothesis that psychiaty operates behind have failed and must be replaced with a new social and holistic model which can truly help people. read full story / add a comment
