The debate did not begin at precisely 16.15 pm, because Michael Mc Dowell was still taking questions on Thornton Hall. The Taoiseach very quietly slipped in and as if by magic stood up for his less than robust defence of the monies. (received/gifted/loaned-etc) The order of busines was simple enough:- Bertie got 15 minutes, everyone else got 5 minutes. The Ceanncomhairle would not answer reply, confirm or deny the use of a 'script' and it really went downhill from there. read full story / add a comment

The Australian Attorney General, Philip Ruddock, once again demonstrates who and what he is; not content with making a thorough ass of himself in the recent past [link below] Ruddock now attempts to redeem himself by making a grab for the title of totalitarian buffoon of the new century. Australia now holds the dubious distinction of being the first developed (first world) ‘democratic’ nation in the new century to ban books! These blatant totalitarian tactics place Ruddock in interesting company; Chinese Cultural Revolution, Pol Pot year zero, Nazi book burnings, etc; Hello, Mr. Orwell! read full story / add a comment

Minister Mc Dowell , not content with the role of Tanaiste and the over-long data retention of all Irish citizens e-mail/phone/fax records for a period of three years introduced on July 4th 2006 two bills, known as the Privacy and defamation bills. The choice of date was ironic given that it ties in with the whole US/UK terror alert and concommitent reduction in civil liberties which we have fought for and taken for granted through the last couple of centuries. It has been criticised by Journalists all over Europe and In Ireland, but that is just grist to the mill. The elite in fortress europe will protect their rights and reduce yours and those of your children. http://mediaforum.ie/?p=52 Has a short analysis of the Privacy Bill. http://www.justice.ie : Has three or four pdf downloads which comprise the junket rationalisation of Privacy/Defamation, but no-one is fooled. http://www.digitalrights.ie/category/defamation (for information on the other half of the package) read full story / add a comment

Andras Schiff brought a world-class singer to Dublin last night. Not the first time he has done this - I remember fondly a recital he gave in The National Concert hall with Peter Schrier a number of years ago when they presented "Die Schone Mullerin" in a never-to-be-repeated and excellent recital. It is a matter of regret, perhaps, that there were few enough people in the audience (a lot of empty seats) to hear last night the truly remarkable voice of Robert Holl - a mature singer whose technique is non-pariel. read full story / add a comment

This is a summary article of a thesis I wrote, and titled.. ‘Contemporary Critical Theory....Transgressing the logic of Capital..... Deconstructing Post Industrial Capitalism and Reconstructing an Alternative......Radical Theory for Modern Pirates' whilst doing a philosophy MA in Amsterdam. The overall thesis would be far too long to post in its entirety so I thought that I would post this summary. I posted it on this site as I feel that a lot of people using it would share my basic arguments and that such a modest theoretical contribution to a budding anti- capitalist literature might make for an interesting online debate. read full story / add a comment
