"Now some of those who would not give even a cup of water to those struggling for Irish national independence down the years, were climbing on the bandwagon of material gain and self- aggrandisement. It was a far cry from the beds of pain of the hunger strikers in the H-Blocks to the comfort of ministerial seats under British rule in Stormont and the cosiness and luxury of heavily-subsidised English offices in Westminster." ... read full story / add a comment

In case you haven't noticed, the assembly meeting up at Stormont isn't the Northern Ireland Assembly established by the Good Friday Agreement. It's 'the assembly' as the school-marmy speaker keeps telling her class. Oh yes, the speaker. At the first gathering Bob McCartney asked why she was calling herself the speaker when she hadn't been elected by the assembly. Cos our proconsul appointed me speaker, that's why, so there. ... read full story / add a comment

In response to increased UN pressure to close the illegal Guantanamo Bay detention/torture centre, the Americans left no doubt, “we have no intention of closing Guantanamo Bay”. The flagrant illegality of Guantanamo Bay is lost on the Americans, or worse, stands as a defiant monument to American belligerence and unilateralism. The rest of the world can go to hell; Americans do what they want when they want, is that clear? ... read full story / add a comment

Were the hunger strikers betrayed by their representatives outside the prison? Danny Morrison wrote of Richard O'Rawe that he should have called his powerful memoir, Blanketmen, "On Another Man's Hunger Strike", cattily referring to the seminal memoirs of a previous generation of republicans, Ernie O'Malley's searing On Another Man's Wound. As more is revealed about what exactly happened during the 81 hunger strikes, who betrayed who, for what and why, it certainly appears true that a few people have made themselves on the back of 'another man's hunger strike' -- and it isn't Richard O'Rawe. ... read full story / add a comment

"So farewell the PUP, instead of PUP/UVF it's now UUP/UVF....... For the UUP to take on board a member whose party represents the UVF, a group not even on ceasefire, which deals in drugs and prostitution in loyalist districts, is... assisted suicide" With paisley's DUP up to their necks in Northern Resistance and imported South African arms where does that leave the unionist bluster about "terrorists" in government?

One of the most famous celebrity islamophobes has been exposed as a fraud and is fleeing Holland to join the payroll of the American Enterprise Institute. Cited often on Indymedia and other venues as an exemplar of feminist criticism of "islamofascists" it turns out that many details of her ordeal at the hands of Somali islamicists may be false. The fact that she is so allied to neocons ought to give pause to those that are too enthusiastic in their blanket attacks on Islam. Of course it doesn't discredit /all/ critics of Islam, or even some of her own criticisms, but it does show that such criticisms are happily amplified and exploited by sinister forces. ... read full story / add a comment
