international / eu Monday November 17, 2003 - 16:51 by a lonely IMC Editor
A new European constitution is now proposed that ignores civil society. This constitution consecrates neoliberalism as the official doctrine of the EU. It makes competition the basis for European community law, and indeed for all human activity. The constitution completely ignores sustainable development, gives Nato a role in European foreign policy and defence, and pushes for the militarisation of the EU. It puts the market first, marginalises the social sphere, and accelerates the destruction of public services. This draft constitution does not meet our aspirations. ... read full story / add a comment

You would think, with all the work that he has done with unions and for people with disabilities etc. that this TD would be in favour of a measure designed to protect the health of workers - whether they work in bars or otherwise. But yet we see him standing up in the Dail to speak against the tobacco regulations. Not only this, but he also tried to claim that most cancer deaths were caused by other factors! Now it is true that the Government are using this issue as a distraction from the mess they are making of the health service - and also that anti-cancer measures need a lot of work - but seeing him try and belittle the cancer-causing properties of tobacco smoke is disgusting; it reads like a script written by the tobacco industry. ... read full story / add a comment

The following poem appeared like a light of hope and reality in last Thursday’s Anglo Celt, a conservative Cavan based newspaper. The author, ‘Rhymin’ Simon’ provides a weekly platter of poetry and medicine to those of us who just don’t identify with the usual Fianna Fail shite that local Ireland is forced to digest. All hail Rhymin’ Simon and remember: the smallest candle can drown out all the darkness in the world. Now – get localising! ... read full story / add a comment
