A glamorous young woman dressed in red white and black hunting outfit will bathe publicly in a large tub filled with “blood”. The protest commences at 1.15 pm on Wednesday July 25th and continues for an hour. This will represent an excellent photo opportunity so we invite you to send along a photographer.

The Six One News tonight was followed by a Consumer Soap Opera 'Docu' special
on the intimacies and murder of the O Reilly Marriage. Serious Reporters
discussed with alacrity the 'ins' and 'outs' of the case. This is because RTE
are consumer driven shite and incapable of Opinion and analysis.
-They like to give the public what it wants-

This kind of mentality drives US Consumer TV where Newsreaders burn
reports on Paris Hilton. When did RTE last analyse Geo- political movements
GM/ECO/. It has become popcorn TV for the Great brainwashed Irish Nation. read full story / add a comment

One of the most controversial inquiries of the Troubles, involving claims that police officers in Northern Ireland secretly adopted a "shoot to kill" policy, has been reopened, the Guardian has learned.

The allegations that republican terrorist suspects were deliberately killed rather than being arrested led to an investigation by John Stalker, then deputy chief constable of Manchester, in the mid 1980s. But his report was never published, and there was political uproar after he was removed from his post just at the point where he believed he was about to obtain an MI5 tape of one of the shootings. read full story / add a comment

Yet another example of an "honour" killing. This jihad against women must be stopped. There can be no hiding place for "socialists" who refuse to condemn this ongoing murder of women.

'Honour killing' victim was raped

An honour killing victim was raped and tortured before being killed in her south London home, a court has heard. Banaz Mahmod was subjected to rape and other degrading acts in the last two hours of her life, it emerged during a pre-sentence hearing at the Old Bailey. read full story / add a comment
