Taken from th BNP website..

After a couple of years of torpor the BNP is finally getting itself together in Ulster. Just two weeks ago Regional Organiser Kieran Dinsmore met with new members and old hands alike in Bangor, Co. Down to discuss a campaign of activities to boost the presence and electoral appeal of the Party across the province.

Against a backdrop of the Peace Process stalemate and an unprecedented amount of immigration of workers from Eastern Europe and asylum seekers from three continents the Ulster political scene is ripe for the British National Party. Loyalties to the old established parties based on religious sectarianism are breaking down and the people of Ulster across both communities are looking for radical new ideas, hope and above all real answers in an uncertain and rapidly changing world.

What is worse is the element of trust that is breached. Why do people do such things to other people. Is the motive purely money or is there a hidden inadequacy and jealousy with them.

Has anyone ever been conned? Years ago when there was less access to media and press coverage there was a kind of human connection network that kept people informed and warned.

"In a very real sense, Ruairí Ó Bradáigh can . . . be said to be the last, or one of the last Irish Republicans. Studies of the Provisional movement to date have invariably focused more on the Northerners and the role of people like Gerry Adams and Martin McGuinness. But an understanding of them is not possible without appreciating where they came from and from what tradition they have broken. Ruairí Ó Bradáigh is that tradition and that is why this account of his life and politics is so important."

'RTE DO NOT report surveys of Iraqi civilian casualties as fact. They do however quote only selected figures from selective surveys. One would be forgiven for thinking that because they only report one figure, this is figure they have most confidence in. Strangely enough, this is one of the lowest estimates, by a huge margin.

The Active Retirement Ireland (ARI) agm yesterday in Dublin Castle saw hundreds of angry older people letting a FF Minister know what they think of the private sectors control of the nursing home sector.

Is it not time that opposition political parties started to make this a serious issue? According to the ARI the state is obliged by law to provide public nursing home places, however that is not the reality on the ground. When you are old and need to go to a nursing home, an expensive private bed is your only option. The ARI organsiation seems to be the only one making this argument?
