Brian Crowley MEP: With all respect, Mr. President, you will not tell me what the Irish think. As an Irishman, I know it best.
President Vaclav Klaus: I do not speculate about what the Irish think. I state the only measurable data which were proved by the referendum...
... If Mr. Crowley speaks of an insult to the Irish people, then I must say that the biggest insult to the Irish people is not to accept the result of the Irish referendum. In Ireland I met somebody who represents a majority in his country. You, Mr. Crowley, represent a view which is in minority in Ireland. That is a tangible result of the referendum. read full story / add a comment

The recently launched "Doodle 4 Google" campaign is a slick method of promoting Google to school children, without their consent, and usually without the consent of their parents. It is a scheme that is heavy on Google brand recognition, but very low on curricular relevance; this is something that CCFE has come to expect from commercial schemes that are promoted in schools. read full story / add a comment

Here is an extract from an interview with Maryam Namazie who argues that Political Islam makes abolishing the Death Penalty more difficult. Full text at link.

IPS: Your organisation campaigns for the separation of religion and state. In Muslim countries, is it religion, more than anything else that prevents the abolition of the death penalty?

Maryam Namazie: The death penalty exists in quite a large number of countries and is a form of social control still exercised by states, not all of them ruled by Islamic laws (I wouldn't call them Muslim countries any more than I would call Britain and France Christian ones). The U.S. and China are good examples of this. read full story / add a comment

Veteran rights campaigner Peter Tatchell makes an impassioned plea in today’s London Independent for the rights of the thousands of animals languishing under the voyeuristic gaze of the gawping squawking horde that visits London Zoo each day. Cutting through all the prison/ Zoo’s PR spin , Peter points out that its primary concern lies in satisfying the prurience of these cash-cow visitors , and not in animal conservation .
