offsite link The WHO Cares More About Pushing Experimental Vaccines Than Basic Sanitation and That?s a Problem Thu Feb 27, 2025 18:00 | Dr David Bell
The WHO once aimed to help nations stand on their own two feet, but now it mainly pushes the agendas of the rich and powerful, says Dr David Bell. That's why it cares more about experimental vaccines than basic sanitation.

offsite link Is Rishi Sunak English? Thu Feb 27, 2025 16:13 | Eric Kaufmann
Is Rishi Sunak English? Prof Eric Kaufmann says yes, by nationality, but not by ethnicity. It's a subject that typically produces more heat than light, but that's because people don't pin down their terms.

The Elon Musk witch hunt is a key test for the Royal Society, says Prof Abhishek Saha. Activist academics are piling on the pressure to expel the technological pioneer. Does the society stand for science or not?

The Imperial War Museum is consigning Lord Ashcroft's collection of 230 Victoria and George Cross medals to gather dust in a vault. A society that does not value collections like these reveals its true nature.

offsite link Miliband and the Design for Britain?s Ruin Thu Feb 27, 2025 09:00 | Ben Pile
We are at a critical moment. Ever more people are coming to the view that Net Zero is a terrible idea. But the Government is clinging to it at all costs. A new film seeks to puncture the groupthink.

I and others are receiving many calls and E- mails from supporters, community - trade union activists and other persons from around Belfast looking to provide active support for the SEA in the elections, through work in the media, finance, door to door etc. So a meeting has been called for this Sat at the Belfast Unempolyment Centre at 3pm for those wishing to lend support with others already involved.

Secondly on a point of info a case is being taken by a member in Nipsa to fight against the rule that 'Restricted' civil servants of minor grades are not allowed to stand in elections. It is a disgrace that this rule stands and it is time that it is challanged in this landmark case. It will enable many persons including my self to stand in elections. We have now moved to the next phase in this. read full story / add a comment

On Tuesday 4 November 2003, the United Nations voted for the twelfth consecutive time to oppose the US economic, commercial and financial blockade of Cuba. This year a record 179 countries (including Ireland and Britain) voted against the blockade, with only the US, Israel and the Marshall Islands supporting its continuation.

The illegal, unjust and immoral blockade of Cuba by the US continues to create huge shortages and hardship for the Cuban people and must be lifted. Given increased threats from the US, including the real possibility of military invasion, a recent tightening of the blockade by George W. Bush (despite Congressional opposition) and increased hostility towards Cuba by the EU, international support for the Cuban Revolution and the country's right to national self-determination free from US interference has never been greater. The US government must be made to listen and act on the democratic and moral will of the United Nations. read full story / add a comment
