Any electrician knows that Lego bricks are genderless, not 'heteronormative', because each can 'mate' with any other. Perhaps Science Museum staff should study to be electricians and actually make themselves useful.

Any parent can currently withdraw their child from school if they're unhappy. Labour's Schools Bill ends that right for many, giving local authorities a veto. That's why all parents should protest this state power grab.

The Covid Inquiry's presumption that the vaccines were safe and effective is like the Post Office Inquiry presuming that Horizon was reliable, say Ben Kingsley and Molly Kingsley. It compromises the entire enterprise.

Education is not accessible to all in society. A blatant fact. I challenge anybody who thinks on the contrary to this. The reasons for this inequality are abundant. The main reasons are predominantly due to broader social and economic inequalities created and maintained by the present government. read full story / add a comment

Socialist Party Press Release -Presidential Election

Question is not whether there should be an Election; It's whether there should be a Presidency
By Joe Higgins TD

The fact that the bigger Parties in Dáil Éireann are not to put forward candidates for a Presidential Election expresses just how important this office is. The question now is not whether there should be an Election; it's whether there should be a Presidency. Quite clearly, the Presidency is a superfluous office and should be abolished. Talk about the President being able to reach out to the marginalised etc., should be exposed for the cant it is. What groups marginalised by capitalist society need is not symbolic gestures but real changes in policies that affect them and real investment of resources in areas of need.

Yesterday President Bush (the 2nd) of the USA addressed the United Nations general assembly appealing for support in Iraq, insisting the invasion was legitimate and ruling out a military withdrawl - "we must win".

Shortly afterwards President Zapatero of Spain addressed the same general assembly of the UN appealing for a high level "alliance of civilisations" to stem the spread of terrorism and commit to the full development of true democratic values. read full story / add a comment

The main excess points to the EU for those seeking work or escaping repressive regimes are Italy and Spain.

The overwhelming majority of migrant workers within the EU who were not born in the EU have passed through these countries.

Thereafter the majority have come by land routes to the east or by air to Heathrow London. read full story / add a comment

Our city … our streets … our choice …

9.30 am Bike Ride assemble City Hall, ride around city centre for about 40 minutes. Organised by Cork Environmental Forum.

11am – 1pm Bike Doctor, Emmet Place (outside Opera House) – get your bike checked out / basic repairs done for free, or just hang out with the lovely folk of the Cork Cycling Campaign, and watch the skateboarders.

6pm Critical Mass assemble Daunt Square

… plus doubtless other stuff I didn’t know about.

Please note, personally I’m involved in the Bike Doctor only. Just passing on the news re the other two events. I’ll be supporting them alright, just don’t ask me any questions about them. read full story / add a comment
