# The Rustbelt Radical The Rustbelt Radical is a personal blog. It is revolutionary, socialist and internationalist. It comes straight from the ravaged middle of the post-industrial American Midwest. Topics might include politics, work, history, culture, war, a bit of theory, some sex, some drugs, some music and frequent tubthumping for the free association of producers. read full story / add a comment

Twenty ten is the date the HSE say a Cystic Fibrosis unit will be built. Proudly they boast of “fast-tracking” this process to deliver the care that has being so desperately needed for years. This “spin” is never more quickly put into perspective than when a mother or father, brother or sister weep and stare at tossed soil which is beginning to settle where their loved one lays. Peacefully, yet cold, with the colours of nature and heart broken messages of love and memories at any of the thirty graves. read full story / add a comment

The PKK were included in 2002 on the list of terrorist organisations held by the EU. It's a long list. But the decision has now been anulled by the second highest judicial bench in Europe which sits in Luxembourg. There are complex (as always) reasons for this. Without going into it too much, & thus distracting you from reading the judgement in its entirety, I'd just mention the non-desirability of seeing a post-US occupied Iraq divided between Turkey and Iran after the former argued they were containing the PKK terrorists. read full story / add a comment
