It has just been announced that the worlds Premiere War Monger is to visit London on Nov 19th-21st. Bush and his wife will be staying at Buckingham Palace. There will no doubt be a two tier reception to Bushs' visit, one of Royal hospitality by the Queen, Blair and the Labour gov. who as the world knows are Bushs' foot soldiers, the other will be the voices of truth and opposition coming from the streets surrounding Buckingham Palace. Nothing new here then! read full story / add a comment

From Press Statement Feb 2001. SECRETARY POWELL: We had a good discussion, the Foreign Minister and I and the President and I, had a good discussion about the nature of the sanctions -- the fact that the sanctions exist -- not for the purpose of hurting the Iraqi people, but for the purpose of keeping in check Saddam Hussein's ambitions toward developing weapons of mass destruction. We should constantly be reviewing our policies, constantly be looking at those sanctions to make sure that they are directed toward that purpose. That purpose is every bit as important now as it was ten years ago when we began it. And frankly they have worked. He has not developed any significant capability with respect to weapons of mass destruction. read full story / add a comment

Just back from the high court where 12 named protestors were injuncted for blockading bin trucks. Although I wasn't in the courtroom myself, I did talk to several people who had been inside and their interpretation of events was uniform. The 12 undertook not to do the same again and the judge ruled that they had purged their contempt. The city council also sought to make their injunction permanent against blockading. Surprisingly the judge turned this down. read full story / add a comment

The Greens: Waging Class War On Behalf Of The Rich. The Green Party stated today that it does not support the position of the Socialist Party on refusing to pay service charges. However, Green Party Leader Trevor Sargent, TD stated, “We support financial incentives and the use of reasonable volume levies to encourage waste minimisation, re-use, recycling and composting for householders and the commercial sector alike.” This gobbleiegook translates as Green Party support for a flat rate tax. It doesnt matter if you are a bin collecter or Sir Anthony O'Reilly, the Greens want you to pay the same rate of tax read full story / add a comment
