So the Daily Mail enters the seedy underground of tabloid infotainment, a tragic day shared by many i do not doubt. A chilling mix of US republicanism and a belief that Thatcher and the Torries were not Right wing enough. 'ASYLUM' You Have A Right To Worry was a recent headline. For a time in the early 1930s its editor and journalists if we can call them that were sympathetic to some degree with Oswald Mosley and the British Union of Fascists. The editor wrote an article, Hurrah for the Blackshirts, in January 1934, in which he praised Mosley for his "sound, commonsense, Conservative doctrine". The paper also published articles lamenting the number of German Jews entering Britain as refugees after the rise of Nazism. A sad day that must be lamented on our personal weapon of communicative freedom- Indymedia. read full story / add a comment

on the 2nd of February 1972, a group of between 20,000 and 30,000 angry people burnt the embassy of Her Britannic Majesty of Great Britain and Northern Ireland to the Republic of Ireland.

The building used stand on Merrion Square opposite Leinster House. They had laid seige to the Diplomatic mission since January 31st 1972, and threw petrol bombs and stones.
In those days, the Gardaí had neither water cannon nor blunt trauma protection kevlar wear. And they were well worked.

This is the latest in a series of guided walks organised by Cork Greenmap Project in and around Cork City to get people out on a Sunday enjoying their local area. Previous walks have been attended by up to 100 people. They are free to participate and easy going, fun for all the family. This time we have decided to hold the walk in Ringaskiddy to draw attention to the beauty of the area that still persists in shocking contrast to the over-concentration of industry in the area, and to support the people who are doing something to change this.
All welcome, hope to see you there.

Back into the theme of my recent submissions, that the model for our society is so flawed and broken that we cannot fix it, but must replace it.
This time, I explore body language and how it is assimilated into advertising. This leads to an introduction into mind control and behaviour modification and how we use these techniques. A long read, but a solid argument. Are our Government and 'Big business," a pack of liars?

A protest by Irish fishermen is currently (Friday Feb 3rd 1pm) taking place on the Liffey by the IFSC in Dublin. A whole fleet of trawlers are currently on the Liffey making a racket with their horns. They are protesting over a new Sea Fisheries Maritime Jurisdiction Bill currently before the Dáil. Among the proposals int the new bill is an amendment to allow the Irish Navy open fire on trawlers, who disobeyed instructions. This has since been scrapped but there are many other amendments before the Dail which challenge the rights of these workers. See below for further details:- read full story / add a comment
