Upon leaving the Westlink and heading right towards the heartland of Belfast Republicanism at the bottom of the Grosvenor Road is written on a low wall one of the more thoughtful pieces of graffiti associated with this troubled town. "Nil mar a shíltear a bhítear" it reads, which translates as "that which is thought is not that which necessarily is". Accompanying this defiant meesage is another equally penetrating statement "I am not your stereotype". read full story / add a comment

In his 28th Jan 2008, column for the New Statesman, John Pilger with withering outrage attacks the "ritual danse macabre" that is the US presidential election : Barack Obama is a glossy Uncle Tom who would bomb Pakistan.

They all believe the US is not subject to the rules of human behaviour ... read full story / add a comment
