The recent controvery about risk equalisation and community rating took a dramatic twist when Sean Quinn of the Quinn Insurance Group offered to take over the policies from BUPA that have expired and offering to continue their cover under the new insurer.

He has also requested all those who have accounts with VHI to move to BUPA due to the overcharging as he sees it of equal policies and coverage provided by the quinn group under BUPA.

Here is the statement in full from Sean Quinn on the rushing through of the legislation to close the loophole that has made the whole area of new companys entering the market uncertain. read full story / add a comment

With the dominant media becoming increasingly dependent on 'official' statements, often acting simply as a conduit for the 'official version', which tends to go unquestioned, it is those journalists that refuse to pacify reporting in order to appease 'elite interests' that we can turn to for critical analysis. read full story / add a comment

The last surviving artist behind the gallant mobilizing posters lighting up the walls of Barcelona during the Spanish Civil War passed away earlier this year. Fontsere one of many "pen and ink" soldiers, produced the famous FAI of a peasant raising a scythe in defiance while strong modernist letters issued the battle cry of "libertad!" Fontsere escaped into exile as the revolution subsided and spent some time in NYC, but his concerns lay with the plight of those third class emigrates ignored by what he termed the "relevant figures" of the republic and trapped in a cycle of concentration camps and production in the French war industry. read full story / add a comment

Media Lens offer a succinct analysis of convenient MSM amnesia as a necessary precondition of yet another illegal and concocted war of aggression on an innocent country. read full story / add a comment

The Tommy Sheridan affair probably hasn’t run its course yet: there’s bound to be a few twists and turns left before we can close the book on the whole saga. But it’s possible to draw up a provisional balance sheet after the events of the last few months and see what lessons can be learned.

First of all, it’s important to establish the facts of what happened. It’s beyond question that somebody was lying.
