Ireland granted residency to about 17,000 parents of Irish born Children mostly women and then decided that these category of Irish Citizen Children do not have any entitlement to family unification and so we have a situation where the fathers of these children are being turned away. What we risk creating for our future generation is what I dread because this policy if not reversed will only polarise the community and we will have the "us" and "them" divide. read full story / add a comment

Award winning journalist and documentary maker, John Pilger marks the European release of Michael Moore's latest film, Sicko, with an examination of why the documentary film-maker exerts such influence, with fans and enemies alike.

Here is a report of yet another murderous attack on a worker activist by the Iranian State forces. Trade Unionists in Iran deserve our support in their struggle for the right to form unions. On Thursday, October 18, at 9:00 AM in Sanandaj in Iran, 3 plain clothes agents who had covered their faces attempted to assassinate Majid Hamidi a labour activists in Sanandaj. Mr. Hamidi is a member of the Coordinating Committee to Form Workers’ Organization as well as a member of the Committee in Defence of Mahmoud Salehi. Reports by the two above organizations, indicate that Mr. Hamidi was shot 7 times in the arm, shoulder and neck. Friends and neighbors immediately took Mr. Hamidi to the Sanandaj’s hospital and he was transferred to Tehran for surgery. According to the Committee in Defence of Mahmoud Salehi, Mr. Hamidi himself has said that this is the least price workers and labour activists have to pay in Iran to achieve their demands and rights. read full story / add a comment

Tony Blair ,the UN’s peace envoy to the Middle-East has issued a stern warning on the rise of Islamo–fascism. Speaking at a charity event in New York last Thursday night Mr Blair addressed the danger Iran posed to peaceful countries in the Middle-east and beyond. He told the audience at the $1000 - a -head dinner that the world faces a situation which he compared to the “ rising tide of fascism in the 1920s”. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/7052080.stm read full story / add a comment

Neither you nor I are alphabet soup. We are not numbers. Genetics is not new nor really that literal. One of the two men who presented a molecular modeling of DNA/NDA & got a Nobel prize for it back in 1962 has been suspended from his place of work. It is fitting that since he was one of the "beginners" of "genetics", Dr James Watson had better explain to you the utility of his discovery. He has not passed that test in his last 45 years. His latest assertions that intelligence may be compared between "whomever he thinks he speaks for when he says" := "us" and whatever he means by "black" are being pruned out of what we considered civilised ¡ normal now even though Watson in both his science and comments remains so loyal to 45 years ago. And all his public pilloring is happening just before you get to ask him how smart he thinks orientals are. read full story / add a comment
