I would like to take this opportunity to thank the Far-Left for providing one of the most entertaining political campaigns of the last few years. How I've laughed as I've watched a group of Socialist/SWP people badly run, badly represent and badly debate a ridiculous "struggle" that nobody wants. Everyone knows they're simply doing it to try and gain seats in next years local elections - but they may have achieved the complete opposite. Their campaign is about to implode (probably with the usual Left-Wing in-fighting and bickering), and the only thing they've gained is the comtempt of the vast majority of Dublin householders. Expect repercussions in the next Local and General elections. No wonder the Labour Party have kept relatively quiet on the issue over the last few weeks. ... read full story / add a comment

Michael Moore is often cited as the accessible face of the left -- someone that's in touch with the people, someone that doesn't retreat into the ghetto of arcane politics. For many he's also a shallow populist that misses the boat on many important issues, oversimplifies complex arguments and fails to provide solutions. In his new book he's gone much further: he condemns a man on death row inspite of the absence of a fair trial. ... read full story / add a comment

September saw Iraq being put up for sale. Learning no lessons from the disaster in Russia, the US-run administration has unveiled a sweeping overhaul of the economy, giving foreign companies near total access to Iraqi firms which are to be sold off in a privatisation frenzy. ... read full story / add a comment

Ireland, where the public good is increasingly becoming the private good, where the citizen has become the consumer, is a country that has been, and is, witness to an act of resistance, where people are defining their role in society and carving their mark in the chronicles of the State. ... read full story / add a comment

Yesterday I went to the Burger King on O'Connell Street and got a take away meal. I left the joint to meet with my mates in McDonalds. After a few minutes the manager came up to me and took my meal off me saying "next time you eat in here make sure it's McDonalds". He then dumped it in the bin. It wasn't even half ate and it really annoyed me cause he actually threw away my donought which was in a plain brown bag on the middle of the table. ... read full story / add a comment

As activists in Cork will know, Brian Wallace/David Noone and his motley and tiny assortment of holocaust deniers have been postering the city with their "holocaust did not happen" posters. It goes without saying that these posters (and that associated racist stickers) have not lasted long on the lampposts. There are now new posters, in German - I think they say "Wahrheit der Deutschland" or something of the sort and advertise a few websites. My German is limited but 'Wahrheit' means 'Truth' or 'Lowdown' and one of the websites (the only one I checked) is that of David Irving. So tear them down! ... read full story / add a comment
