All fraudulent laws are created, as they were in the time of Mussolini and elsewhere, to be "for our protection". How many know of Hitler's "concerned" and "wholesome" anti-smoking" policies? ... read full story / add a comment

psychiatry's answer to mental health problems is psychiatric drugs which they believe help to correct the 'patient's' brain chemistry or bio-chemical imbalance. Critical psychiatry seeks a more holistic approach seeing personal/interpersonal, social and environmental contexts as the origins of severe mental distress. Psychiatric drugs with their damaging effects on the individual and the genetic hypothesis that psychiaty operates behind have failed and must be replaced with a new social and holistic model which can truly help people. ... read full story / add a comment

Bin Collection, Aer Rianta, An Post, CIE, FAS, Bord Failte, ESB - all of these bodies have their futures discussed at the Article 133 meetings. When we want to know what's behind 25% of bus routes being introduced, or the push behind service charges we HAVE to think about these meetings. ... read full story / add a comment

I've been trying to work out who will be listed as anti-bin tax local election candidates. I'm not making any comment on whether this is a waste of time, just merely trying to ascertain who is likley to be the candidate in each ward. Below is the list I have compiled. I'm not sure that this is accurate. I'm only going on previous announcements. That's where you come in. ... read full story / add a comment

“What is the use of rainbow week” is the title of a tread on the UCD student union message board. Followed by a comment that says “I don't know if the scrawls on the posters were homophobic - sounds like it was people who think it's funny to slag gay people, not necessarily homophobes!” Reading this makes me think of this Le Tigre song Tres bien and the line “because they will try to convince us that we have arrived, that we are already there, that it has happened. Because we need to live in the place where we are truly alive, present, safe and accounted for.” ... read full story / add a comment

The drop in CAO numbers was reported on the front page of last Wednesday’s Irish Times. However it only briefly mentioned that the OECD is currently working on a report of the third level sector here. What it didn’t mention though was that this was at the behest of the Higher Education Authority. Also going unreported is the fact that the OECD heaped praise in a report (following an IMF heaping similar praise) upon Blair’s top up fees in January. I wonder if the HEA and the Dept of Education are expecting an OECD change of heart, in regards to it’s future report for our colleges? ... read full story / add a comment

The ESF may not take place in London due to extreme lack of cashfIow but if it does this is what we're looking at: I just received the following mail about the London ESF meetings from an activist friend. It's a familiar litany of undemocratic, concensus-free, bullying decision making based on a phony "we don't have time to discuss it so let's just agree in principle and then forget about it argument." ... read full story / add a comment

Who can deny that the Bush Junta did not leap into action. The instant people complained, a federal enquiry was launched to discover what happened, why and to make sure it does not happen again. Shame it was only Janet Jackson's breast that got that treatment. ... read full story / add a comment

Early morning raids on houses in Dublin and the Holding Centre in Mosney resulted in the deportation of 60 'failed' asylum seekers to Romania and Moldova this morning. The Gards accommpanied them over to make sure they are delivered safe and sound into the hands of the Romanian police. Our Guardians of the Peace are probably preparing to make the journey back to Ireland this afternoon having aided in the forced transportation of nameless, faceless individuals who will be remembered (for about a week ) as the 'failed asylum seekers'. I can't help feeling that it is us who have failed these people. ... read full story / add a comment
