a reminder that the exploitation of children by using them as workers, is ILLEGAL not only in Ireland but in Holy Ulster as well, (where until only thirty years ago they weren't even allowed use a public park on sunday) but throughout the European Union and the world at large. Millions of children around the world miss out on their childhood as a result of poverty. Poverty deprives them of the capabilities needed to survive, develop and thrive. It prevents them from enjoying equal opportunities. It makes children more vulnerable to exploitation, abuse, violence, discrimination and stigmatization. ... read full story / add a comment

Burlusconi has been acquited again. Here are two pictures of him, one taken in 2003 the other taken in 2004. Whereas the leader of the World Orange Revolution makes Rashers from Strumpet City look like novice alcholic who's just spent six months campaigning in a nuclear fall out zone, Mr Burlusconi is only rumoured to have had little eye tucks exactly one year ago, to help them twinkle all the more. ... read full story / add a comment

The majority of Europe's constitutions specify the seperation of Ecclesiastic or Theocratic authority from that of the Judiciary, Executive and other State elements. In France the legal seperation is based on "Loi 1905" In Spain it is based on the accord signed between the Vatican and post dictatorship regime in 1979. In Ireland (under the Eire constitution a special place is mentioned for the RC church) in Northern Ireland religious ministers look in the XXI century for photographic evidence of conflict resolution. ... read full story / add a comment

once upon a time, 63 years before the toppling of Saddam Hussein's regime and the popular embracing and hugging of plural democracy by the peoples of Iraq assisted by the coalition of the willing, despite all the nasty misfits, have a go types, intellectuals, teachers, and biographically scant men from the provinces of Ireland, Europe the Americas, Africa and Asia doing their best to stop it. A very pissed of Charlie Chaplin, composer, script writer, director, actor, comedian, satirist and genius saw fit to screen a movie about dictatorship and the limits of strong leadership and the evils of demogogues and the threat to civilised values in Europe. He had begun work on it in 1938, and when it was finished he chose to append a personal statement feeling "Hitler is a horrible menace to civilisation rather than someone to laugh at" rather than shelve it. He financed the movie himself, coz no-one else cared to annoy nice Mr Hitler. ... read full story / add a comment |
