mayo / environment / news report Wednesday July 06, 2005 22:29 by By Hannah Ellis
In recent years, British Petroleum (BP) has been working hard to remake its public image. Their well-crafted print and television ads feature upbeat electronic music and a vibrant new yellow and green starburst logo. With it’s cutting-edge content on human rights, biodiversity and macro-economic theory, their website is designed to look like that of a developmental think tank. In reality, BP is the world’s third largest oil and gas company and one of the largest polluters on the globe. Exploration and production of crude oil and natural gas are the company’s main activities and it operates in 100 countries in Europe, North and South America, Asia and Africa. Its revenues for 2003 were over $16 billion; its profits were over $10 billion. read full story / add a comment

It is not the reformists' promise of freedom of expression and association that the Iranian working class rejected in the presidential election this year. What they refused to tolerate any longer is deteriorating economic conditions that neoliberalism brought them. "Mr. [Mahmoud] Ahmadinejad, who catapulted to president-elect from near obscurity as the appointed mayor of Tehran, campaigned on a populist message, promising to redistribute the nation's wealth, hold down prices, raise salaries and lift state-supported benefits for the poor." read full story / add a comment

It is vital that people across the country show both the Dublin Government and the multinationals that our national resources are not for sale and that we will not tolerate the endangering of our environment and peoples safety for the private profit of a few fat cats. "Ireland her own and there all in from the sod to the sky" PLEASE SHOW YOUR SUPPORT. read full story / add a comment
