Long mooted, it has become clear in recent weeks that despite all advice to the contrary from International think tanks and anyone with a modicum of sense, Fianna Fail, perhaps aided and abetted by the Green Party are moving closer to rolling out a bailout scheme for their developer buddies. This scheme will be disguised as "assistance" to the low paid, it will be advertised as much needed relief for the First Time Buyer but in reality is nothing but a misuse of Tax Payer's funds and a direct contribution to keeping already too high Property Prices where they are and bailing out the Brown Envelope Brigade, the Developers who have bankrolled FF forever... read full story / add a comment

Yes, it was a War Crime but I won't hold my breath waiting for NATO to bomb Tel Aviv. Full text at link.

A report to the UN Human Rights Council on Israel's shelling of Beit Hanoun in Gaza almost two years ago says it may have been a war crime. The report compiled by Archbishop Desmond Tutu casts doubt on Israel's explanation that the shelling resulted from a flawed artillery firing system. It calls on Israel to pay compensation to the victims, 19 of whom were killed. Archbishop Tutu went to Beit Hanoun in May, after objections by Israel delayed his mission several times.

John Rees, longtime leader of the English SWP has been unceremoniously dumped. Peter Manson analyses this and other developments in the SWP. Article in full at url.

Meeting on August 27, the 14-strong central committee voted by 10 to four to remove comrade Rees as CC member responsible for election work, and instructed him, against his wishes, to resign from the Left Alternative national council. Rees has quite rightly been blamed for the Respect/Left List/Left Alternative fiasco, which culminated in the SWP-led slate being wiped out in May’s elections to the London assembly. This humiliation then saw the defection to Labour and the Liberal Democrats of Left List councillors and assembly candidates. read full story / add a comment
