Democracy does not spring up out of the ground. The rights to equal suffrage regardless of socio-economic class, gender, or creed in a secret ballot are European rights. They have rooted in the arguments of Greek sychophants and intellectuals, who never allowed their wives, concubines, slaves or migrants the same rights. They have roots in the declaration of the rights of man of the French Revolution. ... read full story / add a comment

The last edition of UCC's student newspaper published a full page anti-gay rant, in its latest attempt to whip up Islamopohbia and homophobia As a gay student I feel very badly let down by the Students Union at UCC. If racist material had been widely distribted on campus, let alone an article in an SU funded paper whose sole purpose was to attack black people, there would at the very least have been an immediate statement of condemnation by the Student's Union. I challenge the SU leadership to deny it. ... read full story / add a comment

President Bush met President Chirac today...there is an urgent need to resolve disagreements and form strategies for peaceful resolutions worldwide. Within months, the citizens of Ireland review and vote on their choice for the EU constitution. Perhaps it is time to review our own...in the light of the Peace Process. Surely: our focus ought to be corrupt practices North and South but not make alleged criminality, at the last hurdle towards the conclusion of the Peace Process. The Gardai exist as do the PSNI let them seek out all illegal practices irrespective of origin and act with Due Process. The Tribunals about land deals are evidence....... ... read full story / add a comment

Seán’s ninth birthday is approaching and with this in mind his father Jimmy asks him if he would have any interest in watching Ireland Vs France this coming weekend in Landsdowne Rd. Sean is ecstatic at the prospect, so the following day his dad sets out to purchase a pair of tickets for the big game. To his dismay though, there is a reduced capacity in the stadium due to FIFA regulations and as a result Jimmy is unable to purchase tickets from any of the legitimate sources. For a while he wonders if he might chance his arm and negotiate a ticket from a tout prior to the match, but eventually his financial situation deems this option a non-starter. ... read full story / add a comment

The Spanish government considers the European constitutional treaty pass for the citizenship, in a day in which about 60% of the ones called to the urns did not exert the right to vote. With 93,54% of the scrutinized votes, 76,49% of the Spanish that voted told 'yes' to the text and 17,43% has been decanted for the 'not'. 6% of the ballot papers has been blank. ... read full story / add a comment

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.

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
