Having become alarmed at the rising crime rate more than two years ago I decided to build a website to highlight the problem.
In that time almost nothing has been done to address the problem. How much more mayhem do we have to put up with before our elected representatives finally get around to doing their jobs? read full story / add a comment

The following passage may appear to be a string of non-sequiturs. That's just the punctuation. It is in fact a (slightly banal) list of reasons why people volunteer to take part in community development and other altruistic, organised and unpaid activity and work. read full story / add a comment

I thought this might be of interest for assorted lefts. I've written this article for a music fanzine in my own area, but it certainly has political relevance, especially for fans of the German industrial metal group. The politics of Rammstein have been debated for years, but those who I have spoken with have always been a little unsure of the actual stance of the band. Hopefully this article will go towards clearing this debate up in some ways. Any constructive criticism is appreciated. read full story / add a comment

The recently launched Humanist Youth: Ireland group offers resources for Irish atheists, agnostics, skeptics, rationalists, secularists, etc. It will campaign for increased separation of church and state and individual freedom for everyone, and provide a voice for the non-religious and ethical young people of Ireland.

Anyone interested in finding out more can join their active discussion forum, where membership is open to all.
