national / eu / press release Friday February 10, 2006 01:34 by Ciarán McKenna
Press release from the European Federation of Public Sector Unions outlining some of the dangers inherent in a proposed Bolkestein Directive "compromise" between the Socialist Group in the EU Parliament and the European People's Party. The terms of which would appear to bring most public services, for instance utilities, social services and water provision, under the remit of the directive. Perhaps someone from Labour could comment on whether there is substance to their analysis? read full story / add a comment

The attack on the prophet of Islam is condemned in its totality and the violence that ensued is also condemned. The mockery of the holocaust is equally condemned. We call on Muslims to end the violence immediately. We are hurt but we are not angry because the Prophet (pbuh) instructed us to control our anger. The strongest person is the one who can control his anger the Prophet is reported to have said. read full story / add a comment

The story continues......

This time I look at how to resolve paradox, how paradoxical ideas can be used to create propaganda. Fairly long article covering lots of ground, including science, philosophy and politics. A speech by Liz O'Donnell, on neutrality is torn asunder to illustrate propaganda and deceit. And an ideological difference between Fianna Fail and the PD's is finally discovered and discussed. read full story / add a comment

Adding this here as it references alot of stuff on this site and is to interest to this site. Its seems Rory is using his connections to get published its a question though is he as good as writer as his contact, this piece is alittle of everything and not as verbose. But a timely reminder that perhaps its time for an education category on this site? read full story / add a comment

The story continues.....

This time the author attempts to prove that any description applied to the possibility of the existence of God, is a man-made one. The overall point of the author is not to disprove the existence of God, but to prove that man is wasting his time, trying to define an aspect of something they equate with 'everything.' read full story / add a comment

The angry worldwide Muslim protests against the publication of cartoons depicting Muhammad in various European newspapers have shown again the enormous anger provoked amongst Muslims by Bush’s “war on terror” and the invasion of Iraq. However the issue that has sparked off these protests and their character has renewed discussion about a war of civilisations or of cultures. These developments are a sharp warning of the divisive tensions can develop in the absence of a strong socialist workers’ movement offering a class alternative. read full story / add a comment

IT IS HAVING AN IMPACT!

Organise! have called for another picket outside the dunnes stores branch in the Park Centre(off the Donegal Rd) in Belfast for 1 0'Clock this Friday in support of Joanne Delaney, a shop steward sacked for wearing her union badge. We are calling on all activists and groups to join this picket and picket other local dunnes stores branches!

We hope to see you there as so we can continue this momentum and to keep the pressure up.

If people cannot make it to above it would be excellent if you could hold a picket at your local Dunnes store.

It only takes a handful of people to picket a shop. E-mail us and let us know if you can hold a local one. Whatever the case, those going to the Park centre, we will see you there.
