Yes, once upon a time there was a Mass Anti-War Movement in Britain but it was destroyed. How did this calamity occur and who was responsible? Torab Saleth of Workers Left Unity Iran points the finger at the SWP for its pro-Tehran apologetics. The full article is available at the url below Have you ever wondered what happened to the mass anti-war movement which in London alone brought out almost two million people before the invasion of Iraq in February 2003? How come no such huge response is at hand when we are faced with a similar plan for Iran? read full story / add a comment

About two weeks a book review made its way into the New York Times & then by editorial selection (the universal vagaries and whimsical nature of which we all must agree) into the "best of review" by which the NYT increases newspaper sales by a few kilograms at the weekend. But the reader interest and plugmanship didn't stop there. Within a week the local language issues of the NYT had picked up on the story and translated it into the major European tongues. (but obviously not gaeilge, polish or chinese). The story is now a pay for view - but it has excited certain interest in the Eastern seaboard US blogosphere & touches on areas of cognitive analysis which I first raised in 2003 - namely "are their rules or ritualised preparations for being a suicide bomber?" So I'm reproducing it here. read full story / add a comment

For a Nation with a population less than that of London, Ireland to its credit has always had a historic, vibrant and rigorous left wing political culture, thus it is impossible to do justice to what constitutes the Irish Left of today in a single article. This piece is far from a complete bibliography and unlike many previous articles on the Left in Ireland, I have included the Irish Republican Movement. Whilst I accept this may not be to the liking of some readers, in my opinion not only do many Republican organizations deserve on merit to be within any serious analysis of the Irish Left, but I believe it would be nonsensical to exclude the Irish Republican Movement, not least because it has acted as the mid-wife to much of today's Irish left. Republicanism has at times also managed, for a host of differing reasons, to divert some of the finest sons and daughters of the Irish working class into the cul-de-sac of nationalism. read full story / add a comment

The revelation that none of the Poles seeking enlistment in the RUC were successful in their applications gives them the opportunity to reconsider allowing themselves to become involved with the British Forces of Occupation. The Polish people have a proud tradition of opposing collaboration within their own borders, and so too should they oppose it here in Ireland. read full story / add a comment
