offsite link Why the ?1 in 73 Muslims in Rotherham? Statistic Is Misleading Thu Jan 16, 2025 11:00 | Noah Carl
One figure that has been repeatedly cited in the grooming gangs debate is that 1 in 73 Muslim men in the town of Rotherham has been prosecuted for grooming gang offences. However, this figure is slightly misleading.

Keir Starmer wants Britain to be both an "AI superpower" and a "clean energy superpower". He can't have it both ways, says Ben Pile. AI is hugely energy intensive and inconsistent with the path Net Zero is leading us down.

Len McCluskey has been elected leader of the UK's biggest trade union, Unite. His win, with 101,000 votes, will see him take over from joint general secretaries Tony Woodley and Derek Simpson who have been in post since the union formed in 2007.

Grassroots candidate Jerry Hicks came second in the election with 52,000 votes. McCluskey had the Unite bureaucrats behind him but many on the Left also supported McCluskey against HIcks. Working on a shoestring budget Jerry has achieved a magnificent result.

Background on the arrests and the annual Vigil to Close the SOA:

On Saturday, thousands converged at the gates of Ft. Benning, in the annual vigil and rally to close the School of the Americas/WHINSEC. Over the years since 9/11, under the pretext of "terrorism", it has become increasingly more difficult for activists to engage in non-violent civil disobedience, which has been a cornerstone of our movement. Through fences, increased police presence, FBI pre-rally consulation with local police forces, security cameras, searches and in the past, metal detectors at vigil entrances, those who wish to cross the line into the base have been prevented in doing so. read full story / add a comment

Union leaders are now calling for the Cowen/Gormley mob to go. Jimmy Kelly kicks the ball rolling with a call to join in ICTUs demo November 27th. But thats hardly enough.Jimmy at the time said that UNITE was forced into the Croke Park deal. The record of te ICTU leadership must be examined. Its their craven policies which gave the Cowen Junta the ability to cut wages even further and to now plan to demolish the Health, Welfare and Education sectors.

Support the ICTU Demo but no illusions in ICTU. We need a new Union leadership. One that fights to make the rich pay for the crisis.

Jimmy Kellys statement is below.

We urgently need a national strike, this comming week, to force the corrupt incompetent Fianna Fail/Green regime out of government. If we fail to do so we deserve some of the shame and devestation that is being heaped upon us. We need to take back our country from the shysters and liars who claim to be governing on our behalf. We need to act now or forever live in shame as the children of Ireland suffer and are forced to emigrate.

international / rights, freedoms and repression / press release Friday November 19, 2010 21:36 by Mark Stephens
On the morning of 21 August 2010, my client, Julian Assange, read in the Swedish tabloid newspaper Expressen that there was a warrant out for his arrest relating to allegations of “rape” involving two Swedish women.

However, even the substance of the allegations, as revealed to the press through unauthorized disclosures do not constitute what any advanced legal system considers to be rape; as various media outlets have reported “the basis for the rape charge” purely seems to constitute a post-facto dispute over consensual, but unprotected sex days after the event. Both women have declared that they had consensual sexual relations with our client and that they continued to instigate friendly contact well after the alleged incidents. Only after the women became aware of each other’s relationships with Mr. Assange did they make their allegations against him. read full story / add a comment

Speakers: Senator David Norris and Jon Mc Court

Background: VSI was founded in 1965 and Service Civil International SCI in 1920. Together we are celebrating 45 and 90 years of working for peace through international volunteering in Ireland and in over 70 countries worldwide. SCI was founded in the aftermath of World War 1 and the first project was the restoration of villages and communities destroyed by the war near Verdun in France. The project brought together volunteers from the previous warring nations –Germany, Britain, France, Italy and Austria and was a positive attempt at reconciliation and international understanding. Today VSI and SCI continue that tradition in our work for peace in Ireland and around the world.
We are very happy to have David Norris and Jon Mc Court with us today to share their ideas and views on working for a more just and peaceful world.
