The Labour Party like other organisations operates a pension scheme for its employees, in Labour’s case it’s a defined benefit scheme which offers employees a pension based on a fixed percentage of their salary upon retirement. The staff pay in 5% of their salary each year and in return the party is supposed to cover the balance. read full story / add a comment

This is a monumental sea change in consumer protection policy in the USA, necessary to correct and prevent more neurodegenerative damages from Aspartame, the artificial sweetener which is metabolized as formaldehyde and methanol. Just google: UNITED NATIONS UNDERSECRETARY GENERAL FOR NUTRITION, to read the Resolution, and if you want to see Ireland as a cosponsor for placing the Resolution on the Agenda for September, write to the President, Prime Minister, and Foreign Minister.

Hi, As most of you will already know The Body Shop are due to be taken over by French cosmetics giant L'Oreal (who test their products on animals), who in turn are part owned by one of the worlds most campaigned against companies Nestlé (who also carry out tests on animals). Although The Body Shop has had some what of a shady past in regards to its union related activities and claims of false advertising, it has remained in most peoples opinion the most ethical multinational around. Not anymore! See www.boycottbodyshop.co.uk for more information. read full story / add a comment

As an American, I am completely fed up with the "war on terror" going on in Iraq and the constant screw-ups along made along the way. Yesterday, I read that Ayad Allawi, Iraq's former interim learder has consented that Iraq is involved in a Civil War, yet the US Idiot cannot seem to figure that out. Now today, I brouse through The Guardian, and discover a story relating tales of terror detainees barred from trials in the US courts, and awaiting judgement on their right to a trial. read full story / add a comment

The people’s movement in LA, France, Thailand, China, Philippines, the South Americas etc., verifies a power dynamic outlined in an earlier paper: “…the erosion and final dissolution of power concentrated in specific locations is rapidly occurring today. The ultra-right/left authoritarian contractionism we witness today is symptomatic of its failure to harmoniously engage the greater (world) dynamic. The ‘greater’ the contractionism/antagonism the greater attraction it creates for precisely those forces and conditions that would equalise it [dispersion] in the broader world context.” read full story / add a comment

What are the causes? This is not scientific but I believe that a scientific study would probably identify these factors in order of significane. 1. Public ignorance and stupidity. 2. Speeding 3. Alcohol and drugs. 4. Poor driving tests and skills and lack of knowledge of the rules of the road. 5. Poor secondary roads. 6. Poor enforcement of road laws by police and lenient punishments for offenders. 7. Increased road usuge and congestion in urban areas. Most importantly - "What is the solution?" read full story / add a comment

I don’t know the last time the Irish Examiner bothered to write about the subject of disability but it is a certainty that the issue is not a priority for the paper’s editors in the normal run of events and it has negligible coverage in its pages. For instance, if you compare its coverage of the subject of horseracing or business issues, disability trails well behind either despite its significance to huge numbers of people. read full story / add a comment

This week the NCCRI (National Consultative Committee on Racism and Interculturalism) launched a handbook on Seeking Advice and Redress Against Racism in Ireland. However there are wild discrepancies in recording of racism in Ireland as compared to Britain. Show Racism the Red Card has a report form on its website and is hoping to gather research to illustrate the true extent of racism in Ireland. read full story / add a comment

As the Setanta Cup completes the group stages, some managers speak their mind about this cross border competition. Northern Ireland manager Lawrie Sanchez said: "Football has the power to build bridges, promote respect and bring communities together. We believe supporters are the lifeblood of the game and that sectarianism and racism should have no place in football or society. The Setanta cup is going some way to building bridges" read full story / add a comment |
