In the corner of the screeb of every national TV channel in Spain. In the corner of every local cable TV station in Spain. On the banner of most national newspapers. On the doors of many shops, retail chains, ministry of culture, museums, libraries. In madrid the route of the concentration was overlooked by black ribbons hanging from the tower blocks. ... read full story / add a comment

Blair's support for random drugs tests in schools is just insane. It should provoke any sensible person to demand random drugs tests for the cabinet. Only someone out their face on drugs could make the decisions Blair's government has made. ... read full story / add a comment

On International Women's Day, it is worth reminding ourselves of the dedication of those Irish women who struggled for the women's right to vote in the early 20th century. Sometimes one gets the impression that the vote was gained through nothing more than polite lobbying. Not the case, as the following excerpt from Maria Luddy's short biography of Hanna Sheehy Skeffington (1995) shows. These women went to jail while fighting for a basic right, and today a number of women (Deirdre Clancy, Nuin Dunlop, Karen Fallon and Mary Kelly) are facing jail sentences for similar actions, taken while protesting against an immoral and unjust war. These women stand in a proud tradition of civil disobedience against injustice. ... read full story / add a comment

It has long been observed that the mass on their non banking days readily absorb shite. This is why coups are most successful on the weekend, and elections as well. It is on your non-banking days that you are presented with the most filagree woven tissues of spirit and lie, ghost and truth. It is through weekend that we have considerable space in your head. ... read full story / add a comment
