Shocking reading: Wikileaks document on Shannon: Government wanted to be seen to be hard on the US to win votes in 2007 General election. US government considered handing the Irish Government the bill for the plane damaged by the 'Shannon Five'.

The latest leaks from Wikileaks offer proof for what many have suspected for a long time - that American embassies are little more than fronts for the activities of the CIA and other US spying agencies . Patrick Martin , reviewing the latest batch of wikileaks in light of the terrorist murder two days ago of another Iranian nuclear scientist , writes that US embassies have been instructed to focus their espionage activities on plans for the overthrow of the present Iranian regime. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu sees the anti-Iran propaganda and Islamophobia as having paid dividends for the zionists . Martin quotes Netanyahu saying : “Our region has been hostage to a narrative that is the result of 60 years of propaganda, which paints Israel as the greatest threat. In reality leaders understand that that view is bankrupt. For the first time in history there is agreement that Iran is the threat.” ... read full story / add a comment

Today the government announced the details of the four year plan required as part of the ECB / IMF ‘bailout’ of the banks. There will be five billion worth of new taxes and 10 billion worth of cuts under this so called ‘National Recovery’ which in reality will take 10% out of GDP. As we show below almost all these costs are being dumped on workers, particularly low paid workers, the very sector that gained little or nothing during the boom years. the richest 1% are left with most of their legal tax dodges in particular the ability to avoid paying tax at all if they spend 6 months on holidays out of the country. ... read full story / add a comment

One is lucky to know a person who can fix one's car, or a person who can fix one's computer (even if that woman is in India); and watching a professional trouble-shooter in action is as good in value as watching a skilled musician or a class sportsman doing their thing. But one extends the paradigm into human affairs and human relations at one's peril? ... read full story / add a comment

Len McCluskey has been elected leader of the UK's biggest trade union, Unite. His win, with 101,000 votes, will see him take over from joint general secretaries Tony Woodley and Derek Simpson who have been in post since the union formed in 2007. Grassroots candidate Jerry Hicks came second in the election with 52,000 votes. McCluskey had the Unite bureaucrats behind him but many on the Left also supported McCluskey against HIcks. Working on a shoestring budget Jerry has achieved a magnificent result. Gerry Downing reports on the campaign. Full text at link. ... read full story / add a comment

Yassamine Mather writes about how sanctions are worsening the situation of ordinary people in Iran. How the regime are cutting subsidies on food and somewhat foolishly targetting pensioners. Over the last two weeks the number of strikes in Iranian factories and workplaces has risen considerably. Workers have taken action in major plants such as South Pars Gasfields, Alborz Lastic Sazi, Ghaem Shahr textiles, Safa Louleh (pipe manufacturers), as have city council workers in Abadan. Demands have also been raised by nurses and other hospital workers, teachers and civil servants. ... read full story / add a comment

Devonport Dockyard in Plymouth was blockaded on the morning of 1 November in an action called by the Plymouth-based Trident Ploughshares (TP) group, The Tamarians. Devonport Dockyard refits, maintains, and upgrades the submarines which carry Britain's Trident nuclear weapon system, which has been declared illegal under international law. The yard is also increasingly becoming the dumping ground for old and out of service nuclear submarines, posing a further radioactive contamination hazard to the quarter of a million people who live nearby. The aim of the blockade was to close all gates to the shipyard from 6am. Fourteen people were arrested during the action.
