The PSNI have absolutely no evidence whatsoever that the DUP were behind the £26 million bank raid, just like they have absolutely no evidence that Sinn fein were behind it. But they might as well point the finger of blame at someone. ... read full story / add a comment

Justice delayed is Justice Denied. The CAB will not apparently being receiving early pensions. Instead, their skills refined through the 1980's/90's scandals of tax evasion will now prove refined to the degree that we may have an effective, speedy system of tribunals with prompt delivery to the Justice system However, in the midst of all this exciting blame festering news let us not forget the important issues. We need to review children, we need to consider restorative justice, we need to appoint educational psychologists in our schools, we need Ethics established as a mind set of those entering the work environment, government etc. ... read full story / add a comment

The U.S. embassy has just issued a warning to it's citizens to stay away from certain parts of Seoul. Demonstrations against foreigners are planned and an online petition to keep foreigners out of the country has already got thousands of signatures. Many foreigners are worried, some have already left. And all this because of a website? Welcome to Korea, one of the most reactionary and xenophobic countries in Asia. ... read full story / add a comment

Coca-Cola may be making noises in the UK to cut down its branding and marketing of caffeinated sugar water to children, but in the US they are steaming full bore ahead like a schoolyard bully. The "pouring rights" contracts at public schools are not just incredibly bad policy, but they have been challenged as unlawful. ... read full story / add a comment

It took years for movies dramatising the agony of the Vietnam conflict to hit the big screen, yet oddly enough a jaundiced contemporary view of the states seeped into a mass audience through Leone's spaghetti westerns. Remaining conspicuous through absence from the canons of motion picture greats, the stylistic flourishes of Sergio Leone westerns provide the popular mind with an immediate shorthand for the genre cinematically. ... read full story / add a comment

Once this was a place of great hope. During the late 1980’s, the Sandinistas were consolidating the revolution in Nicaragua, the FMLN were on the brink of overthrowing the government in El Salvador and the radical movements in Guatemala and Honduras were gaining ground. Today it is a region convulsed by massive delinquency and chronic state corruption whose economies are surviving tenuously on remittance money sent by migrants. The defeat of the revolutionary movements has ushered in an era of social disintegration resulting in a veritable neo-liberal dystopia. ... read full story / add a comment

'Restorative Justice - Healing the Effects of Crime' Written by Jim Consedine 'The Celtic Tradition: Repairing the Damage' It then reads: Fivefold are Crimes * the crime of the hand by wounding or stealing * the crime of the foot, by kicking or moving to do evil deeds * the crime of the tongue, by satire, Slander and False Witness *crime of the mouth, by eating stolen things *the crime of the eye, by watching while an evil deed is taking place Brehon Law existed in Ireland until the final Tudor conquest in 1500. The Irish had their own form of Criminal Justice System. The Brehon laws was based on its own form of restorative justice. These laws were replaced with the harsh retributive system of the coloniser!

In Tuesday's 'An Irishman's Diary' in the Irish Times, Kevin Myers wrote of single parents milking the welfare system and repeatedly used the term 'bastards' for their children. The use of an outdated perjoritive term for children who in times past were termed to have been 'born out of wedlock,' shows what an insensitive bastard the Irish Times has in its midst. ... read full story / add a comment
