The UNITE trade union has called on Labour to resist the lure of coalition with Fine Gael and opt instead to lead a ‘game changing’ opposition coalition of the left. “This election was about change,” said UNITE Regional Secretary Jimmy Kelly. “Part of the change was unequivocal; the removal of Fianna Fáil from power, but the rest is now in the hands of the Labour Party leadership.” “The people did not vote for a Fine Gael overall majority. Their policies on privatisation, austerity and income cuts did not attract eno ugh support and should not now be facilitated by the tired old fallback of coalition with Labour.” read full story / add a comment

An open letter appeared on the Farm and Ranch Freedom Alliance founded and run by Judith McGeary to save family farms in the US. The letter, written by Don Huber, professor emeritus at Purdue University, to Secretary of Agriculture Tom Vilsack, warns of a pathogen “new to science” discovered by “a team of senior plant and animal scientists”. Huber says it should be treated as an “emergency’’, as it could result in “a collapse of US soy and corn export markets and significant disruption of domestic food and feed supplies.” This could be the worst nightmare of genetic engineering that some scientists have been warning for years: the unintended creation of new pathogens through assisted horizontal gene transfer and recombination. read full story / add a comment
international / miscellaneous / news report Saturday February 26, 2011 04:26 by Adrian Boutureira
These were a series of tweets received earlier tonight (late night, early morning Egypt time) from activists that had been demonstrating against the government in Tahrir Square. The most disturbing thing as someone receiving and trying to report these, was the media blackout that came along with the attacks. Al Jazeera was MIA. It has been on Egypt for a while. The Egypt Live Blog has been dormid for days and is now actually not even found in AJ's blogs page. There were NO news networks there to report on these attacks. Hours later, AJ produced a report, this after we bombarded their Libya live blog with pleas for coverage. This is what we received between and around the hours of 8 and 10 pm US Eastern time. (Thanks to the comrades of APIC(APICONG) for putting these together. http://apicong.blogspot.com/) read full story / add a comment
