Why is Bridget Phillipson undoing all the education reforms that have transformed England's state education system into one of the best in the world? Simple: because from now on nobody is allowed to win.

Sometimes politicians have to lose to win so the other side can show its true colours. Trump is the standout example, says Prof James Allan. Had he won in 2020, we would not have had the blitz of the last four weeks.

Former Socialist Workers Party national committee member David Isaacson has joined the CPGB. Tellingly, and not without self-criticism, he details how on the one hand the SWP leadership perpetuates itself, and how, on the other, it depoliticises and demotivates. The result is a not a party but a bureaucratic sect which must be fought from the inside and the out

Many believe that the Socialist Workers Party is going through some kind of crisis. All the signs are there. Attendance at this summer’s Marxism was half that of the previous year. Membership figures cannot be great if Respect can only muster just over 3,000. Where are the 10,000 SWP members of old? East End Offset - the SWP’s printshop - has been sold off, presumably because of financial problems stemming from Respect’s election campaign. The election result itself was a disappointment. read full story / add a comment

This is a sligthly edited version of a press release i received this morning,
The original is released as an internal communication, addressed to members, so I have taken out some contact numbers and personal stuff, as I'm not sure they would want it posted here.

Finally, finally, my trial date is set for 5th October at Limerick Circuit Court. I'd be really grateful to see some familiar faces there, and I hope it will be even better than the last one ( see: http://www.indymedia.ie/newswire.php?story_id=22266 ). I lodged an appeal after Judge Mangan found me guilty. He didn't give a reason, and I think it's worth another shot.

Los Angeles and Washington, DC, Sept. 15, 2004 – California Superior Court Judge Victoria Chaney yesterday rejected an attempt by Unocal Corp. to dismiss a lawsuit charging it is responsible for human rights abuses committed by the notoriously brutal Burmese military on behalf of Unocal’s Yadana Pipeline project in southern Burma. The Court’s denial of the oil company’s motion for a judgment in their favor clears the way for a jury trial to begin after eight years of litigation. read full story / add a comment

Mayday Court Appearances – The Word from no. 46 – the Security Cut

15th September 2004

It was with a certain amount of reluctance that I dragged my snot filled unemployed head from the pillow in order to cycle down to the courts to watch the massive steam roller of justice crank into slow action. I got there early, the clock on the wall read 10.15 and only myself and four worried looking mothers sat in the public gallery. On the way into court 46 I noticed young cops with manila folders tucked under their arms swap jokes and get their stories straight for the judge later on. This appears to me to be the way the State prepares it's cases.

Designing a system to effectively govern over four million people isn’t easy, but serious reform of the system that we have accepted is required if our goal is to achieve a pure democracy in which the greatest majority of citizens is represented satisfactorily. read full story / add a comment
dublin / rights, freedoms and repression / event notice Wednesday September 15, 2004 11:32 by IPSC
There will be a lunchtime demonstration at the Israeli Embassy, Ballsbridge (opposite Jury's), Dublin 4, on Thursday 16th between 1 and 2pm, to commemorate the 1982 massacre of Palestinian refugees at Sabra and Chatila camps by Lebanese militia allied and supported by Israel. The military incursion into Lebanon was planned and led by then Israeli Defence Minister Ariel Sharon, who was subsequently found responsible for the massacre.

The USA vetoed six separate United Nations resolutions between 1982 and 1983 condemning Israel's invasion of Lebanon. In 2002 the USA referred to Ariel Sharon as "a man of peace".

Please spread the word, and bring banners, flags etc.

Thank you,
