Students Against Poverty would like to thank all those who give their time and help over the last 5 weeks. With little recources and even less experinece we have managed to fill a 45 seater bus, of school students, to attend the G8 protests in July. From the start all decisions were democraticaly decided. A series of debates and discusions were held where members had a chance to speak about issues such as war, age discrimanation and anti_racism. Through a range of events, we raised over £2000. This meant that a bus seat only cost £15 which was essential as school students are generally skint. A big thank you to all those who donated. Unfortunately, due to exams, SAP will be diappaering for the next 2 months(hence the rush in fillin the bus). So we hope to see you all at the G8!

Last Mayday in Ireland we experience press hysteria in the run up to the EU summit protests. Some of these were really nuts - We were even told 'Anarchists plan to gas 10,000 Dubliners' (front page of the Sun). None of these predictions came true and amazingly our lap dog media never felt any need to publish any retractions after the event or even analysis as to how they were taking in. Now its happening in Scotland. read full story / add a comment

Anarchism in Ireland has been on the up in the last few years. Libertarian organised events have included large demonstrations like Mayday, RTS street parties, forcing the agenda on Shannon, as well as massively increasing our propaganda through newsletters, magazines and the internet. Sure, anarchism is still a minority past-time but as any bourgeois economist will tell you, it's the rate and direction of growth that counts! read full story / add a comment

The European parliament has renewed it opposition to the software patents directive, by making substantial alterations to the draft. The Financial Times says it has seen a copy of the amended directive, penned by the bill's rapporteur, Michel Rocard. Under the terms of Rocard's draft, software would only be patentable if it controlled a physical process, or a controllable force of nature. Patents would not be allowed for software that handles "the treatment, the manipulation, the representation and the presentation of information". read full story / add a comment

Palestinian Sources close to the leftist factions said that talks among these factions to form a unified bloc to run in the upcoming Parliament election slated for July 17 are in an advanced stage. The sources added that the latest meeting was held in Ramallah where 6 left wing factions were present. Observers described the meeting as positive and the possibility to form the bloc is high. The factions agreed on a joint program and mechanism, for the elections. The left in Palestine are worried that the competition between Fatah and Hamas will dominate the elections; therefore they want to try to present a third option for voters. The factions are also supported by some independent democratic figures in the West Bank and Gaza Strip. Fatah is striving to delay the elections, fearing that Hamas will win most of the parliament seats. Hamas insists that the elections must take place in its scheduled date. read full story / add a comment

William Bowles' _Investigating Imperialism_ blog criticises the current framing of the Peak Oil debate. He likens the predicted oil shortage to other shortages under capitalism, specifically the food shortage problem and draws attention to the remarkable coincidence that it's always the Third World that causes demand for increased resources! read full story / add a comment

Cllr Chris O'Leary is trying to organise a protest at the visit of the Chinese ambassador to mark the signing of a twining agreement between Cork and Shanghai. The ceremony is at 4pm on Thursday in City Hall, and he asks that people be there at least 45 mins beforehand, if possible. Similarly, there will be a ball in the Metropole Hotel that evening at 8pm, and he hopes that there will be protests there also. Any queries can be addressed to Chris on 087 2794307.
