As most are now aware, the 4th July 21 London bombing suspect was arrested in Rome, but is not an i-t-a-l-i-a-n. He's an african. It appears the bombing cell were african, and not pakistani after all. It might emerge that the July 7 bombing had more to do with Africa than Madrasses after all. No matter Pakistan still loses the income of 1,400 foreign students. However the purpose of this thread is not to speculate, nor to condemn, nor to put any suspect to the trial of media. For Rome is Rome, and i-t-a-l-i-a-n-s do not practise British or anglo-saxon or its close relative irish law. read full story / add a comment

The UK has recently undergone a social regression to a period in its history (many centuries past) when summary executions by the King’s representatives were common fair. Performing summary executions in the street is not new in England; this practice, however, was determined by the ancient powers to be counter productive – more revolts resulted from this practice than subjection/subjugation. But today, Blair’s England panders more to the racist sentiments of its people than good political sense. So be it, history has already dictated the inevitable outcomes. read full story / add a comment

An inability to read or write may not conform to some people’s idea of a disability but whatever your view about that, few would disagree that it is a very disabling circumstance to live with. In speaking to Bernadette Collins who manages the North West Cork Adult Basic Education Service, what is shocking to hear is that by the age of just 14 or 15 many people have decided that it is already too late. What follows is a life full of serious inconveniences and problems, compounded by deep-seated feelings of embarrassment – or even shame - about not being able to read or write. read full story / add a comment

Ariel Sharon's security has been stepped up a notch since a video was shown on Channel 2 this week. The video shows members of the extreme right settlers who are opposed to the pullout, some rabbis, engaging in a ritual called "Pulsa Denura". The ritual is a death curse, its name is aramaic and means "lashes of fire" and was last said to be performed prior to the assasination of Israeli premier Yitzak Rabin in 1995. read full story / add a comment
