Yes, you read that headline correctly! In a brilliant strike at the never ending hypocrisy of the US government, the new left wing President Rafael Correa of Ecuador said Washington must let him open a military base in Miami if the United States wants to keep using an air base on Ecuador's Pacific coast. The existing lease on the current US base in Ecuador expires in 2009. Now that this call has been made, the US govt will no doubt work hard to have him removed by then, as the base can surely be used for no other purposes than for their own self corporate interest. read full story / add a comment

I signed up to BT broadband over two months ago. Not only did the hook up the wrong house, but they billed me for it, insisted nothing wrong happened, and are dawdling over my What's worse, their call centre takes ages to do anything, not surprising, given that one of their agents admitted to me that there were only 10 people working there the day I spoke to her, when the staffing level is supposed to be 60. Anyhow, sick of waiting for the always promised call back, I went hunting for the bigger fish. read full story / add a comment

Our sports are tribal with The Rebel County being one that comes to mind but our constituency boundaries are being changed and the geographers along with the Political commentators have begun questioning the wisdoms of the Reform Commission. I have garnered Little except that Dun Laoighre is to lose a seat and areas of Limerick will be moved into a Kerry North Constituency, which to honest sounds confusing. There is a big constituency to be created in the North Western Region and Leitrim is effected, according to the I.T commentator Leitrim will not return a TD. read full story / add a comment

Michele Fabiani, 20 yrs, Andrea Di Nucci, 20yrs, Dario Polinori, 21yrs, Damiano Corrias, 25yrs, and Fabrizio Reali Roscini, at 42 years of age have become the latest people described by Italian commercial media as "linked to the Federazione anarchica informale" to be arrested under article 270 (b) of the Italian criminal code. That's the one that makes it illegal to organise a group for national or international terrorist acts and the subversion of the democratic order. At first glance we're talking about 2 young women and 2 young men & one 42 year old. Maybe the auld-fellah uses mosturiser. Though I doubt it, but at that first glance we might presume on the scant data available at the moment that he'll be termed a "ringleader" of this "informal anarchist federation group". But since I myself (who has never used mosturiser) am closer in years too 42 than 20 - I suggest this story be considered as an update on the ongoing oppression of social movements & black block anti-system types in Italy. read full story / add a comment

Ireland granted residency to about 17,000 parents of Irish born Children mostly women and then decided that these category of Irish Citizen Children do not have any entitlement to family unification and so we have a situation where the fathers of these children are being turned away. What we risk creating for our future generation is what I dread because this policy if not reversed will only polarise the community and we will have the "us" and "them" divide. read full story / add a comment

Award winning journalist and documentary maker, John Pilger marks the European release of Michael Moore's latest film, Sicko, with an examination of why the documentary film-maker exerts such influence, with fans and enemies alike. "In societies ruled by an invisible government of media," he writes, "no one has broken through like Moore, who breaks every rule by reporting from the ground up, instead of from the top down." read full story / add a comment

Mr. Hamidi is a member of the Coordinating Committee to Form Workers’ Organization as well as a member of the Committee in Defence of Mahmoud Salehi. Reports by the two above organizations, indicate that Mr. Hamidi was shot 7 times in the arm, shoulder and neck. Friends and neighbors immediately took Mr. Hamidi to the Sanandaj’s hospital and he was transferred to Tehran for surgery.
