It is like a big big jigsaw, with many many players and many many pieces. Below is today's front page article from Daily Ireland.

Veronica McDermott is a rep for BNFL in Ireland and has had an article in the Sunday Business Post (10/12/06) and been heavily quoted in an article in the Sunday Independent (08/01/06) both of which promote nuclear power as a real option and both of which only refer to her as a public affairs consultant. this along with David McWilliams article a few weeks ago shows that there is a pro-nuclear agenda being pushed in our papers preparing the nuclear industry to pounce when energy becomes a major issue. ... read full story / add a comment

In violation of its agreements with the IAEA the Iranian government has removed seals from its nuclear facilities and has begun uranium processing. The response of the international community led by the US and UK poodle with the support of effeminate France (the CIA staged Paris riots have convinced them of the need to clamp down on Muslims) and Russia (Chechens freedom fighters supported by Iran)is to refer the issue to the UN Security Council in preparation for a new Iran War ... read full story / add a comment

British anti-War politics has taken an interesting turn over the change of Year. The leader of the largest "anti-War" party has resigned his position after being exposed as a soaked up rickety wreck alcoholic. Meanwhile the umbrella of interests in British politics which work through the "Impeach Blair" or "Stop the War" coalition have called upon a retired general to voice their concerns, and the former extreme left candidate Gorgeous George Galloway has decided to go to Big Brother. ... read full story / add a comment

We continue to kowtow to the present incumbent of the White House using all kinds of lame excuses for so doing. Enough! Let us end the empty charade of "friendship" with this man now and demand that our leaders present him with no more bowls of shamrock, an idea already tainted by the events surrounding 17 March 2003. ... read full story / add a comment

It has been long observed that people for some reason on their non-banking days readily absorb shite about Dangerous Places, Famous People, Sensible Saving Options, Holidays, Interesting facts, Sport results, Media, gardening and health as well looking ahead at “democratic evolution” and looking back at "how history was made" and reminding all of the old enemy "Authoritarianism". I am finally about to explain to all of you "believer or not" why the election of Ratzinger as "black pope" was so terribly important to us. ____________________________________ ... read full story / add a comment

a 43 year old mathematician and intellectual and ex-armed rebel is about to be sworn in as vice president of Bolivia. For a variety of reasons, a lot of attention is going his way, perhaps because outside of Latin American circles, no-one really knows much about him. A very short profile of vice president elect Álvaro García Linera of Bolivia with links. ... read full story / add a comment

Fine Gael has called on the Government to introduce a five point plan to cut A&E attendances by up to a 1/3. The plan which includes penalizing people who attend A&E units and also happen to be drunk, may put lives at risk. The proposals ignore the fact that the vast majority of those attending A&E units are actually in need medical aid and further that the majority of those in attendance never cause any disturbance to staff or fellow patients. One of the key planks of the policy calls for the doubling of A&E fees for those found to be under the influence of alcohol. The proposed fee of almost €100 will discourage people who may need medical aid from seeking it and will hit those on low incomes hardest, students in particular. ... read full story / add a comment |
