The Covid Inquiry's presumption that the vaccines were safe and effective is like the Post Office Inquiry presuming that Horizon was reliable, say Ben Kingsley and Molly Kingsley. It compromises the entire enterprise.

President Trump can topple the Paris Climate Agreement house of cards by putting energy policy on a sound and rational footing. Indeed, says Tilak Doshi, any nation doing the same would reject the climate change hobgoblin.

The Bloody Shoe Shines

RTE distorts the level of deaths inflicted upon ordinary Iraqis. Senator Brendan Daly likens Shannon protestors to Saddam's minions. John Waters okays an illegal war and lays the blame at the feet of the 'perverse' public.

It is not just Bertie Ahern that shines the shoes of those in power. read full story / add a comment

Holyland residents can let out a sigh of relief, as St Patricks day, passed by. Most families evacuated their children out of the Holylands in an effort to preserve the magic of St Patricks day, but those that remained again had to endure the depraved behaviour of our future professionals, middle classes and SDLP voters.

Only 1.2% of the student population is from a poor or working class background, you've only to look at the top range model cars the students of the Holylands drive, to see they're all from money backgrounds, with the bad manners and disassociated aloofness of the snooty rich. read full story / add a comment

Just as the cartoons simplified and obscured the reality of Muslim attitudes, the media coverage caricatured and simplified the debate. The real world was much less black and white then the media portrayal. Jllands-Posten was eventually revealed not to be a brave defier of censorship but a source of anti immigrant rhetoric, whose owner had campaigned for Muslims to be expelled from Denmark and who had, in 2003, refused to publish cartoons depicting Christ on the grounds that they were offensive! On the other side it emerged that hardline Danish imams had toured the cartoons around the Muslim world for months, and even added their own! read full story / add a comment

This American Life is an audio chronicle of the weird, the prosaic, the extraordinary, the beautiful and the disgusting in the massively diverse country called the United States of America. It is frequently an amazing show, containing memories of disturbing childhoods, hilarious miscapades and cunning hipster pranks. But no episode has reached the level of the 10th March 2006 episode "Habeas Schmabeas". read full story / add a comment

"Those who failed to have a loyalist march forced through the centre of Dublin at the end of February claimed a near-monopoly of suffering for themselves and ignored the sacrifices of the nationalist community over the past few decades," said Ruairí Ó Brádaigh, President of Republican Sinn Féin when he spoke at a 30th anniversary commemoration of the deaths of Fian James Francis McCaughey (13), Fian Patrick Bernard (13), Joseph Kelly (57) and Andrew Small (62) in Edendork Cemetery, Co Tyrone.

Ireland's first cannabis policy reform organisation, the Centre for Cannabis Policy Reform Ireland (CCPR) launched their website and campaign this week. The group, in close association with the Colorado-based Safer Alternative For Alternative Recreation (SAFER), who successfully campaigned to legalise the possession of less than an ounce of cannabis, aim to educate the public about the fact that cannabis is safer than alcohol, that prohibition is a failure, and that a system of regulation must be put in place. read full story / add a comment
