Australia is watching our "unmanaged decline" with a mix of dismay and pity, says Simon Heffer in the Telegraph. It seems Britain's decline isn't just obvious at home ? it's blindingly clear from 11,000 miles away.

Just in case you thought there was anything even vaguely radical about the Labour Party, heres what todays Irish Times reported on Fat Pats view on increasing tax on Fat Cats:

"He also ruled out increasing the 12.5 per cent Corporation Tax rate, saying Fine Gael and Labour had settled on this policy in the first place."

I'll show in my article, that in contrary to the declarations of the British prime-minister Blair and other Western politicians, there are evident causes for the London terrorist attacks dd 7-7. Further I also reflect on the aftermath of the attacks, especially regarding the newly proposed British terrorist-laws and the killing of the Brasilian de Menezes by the British policy.
I'll end with a remembreance poem of Eddie Woods concerning Jean de Menezes. ... read full story / add a comment

Jihad Ja'ara, a Palestinian security official, was given asylum in Ireland after the siege of the Chruch of the Nativity in Bethlehem in 2002. He has been smeared by the right-wing Irish press (Indo), and the US authorities, as an active jihadist. However, reading this interview, it's clear that this proud man is not a terrorist. ... read full story / add a comment

The UN has failed in its attempt to define “terrorism” (in a universal sense) at the recent ‘world leaders’ summit – this attempt was doomed from the start. Terrorism remains an extremely valuable and useful term for propagandists due to its non-specificity. Right-wing governments and others utilise this term in order to impose draconian laws and constrictive social policies on domestic populations. In the unlikely event that a universal definition had been agreed upon the outcome would have been a number of ‘world leaders’ in the dock at the Hague ICC for crimes against humanity. I refer to the so-called “coalition of the willing” lead by Bush, Blair and Howard. ... read full story / add a comment

President Bush junior is presently the most unpopular occupant of the White House since modern polling methods began.

Yesterday he announced his "marshall plan" for the gulf coast on prime time US national TV networks.

Today he spoke again to the nation, from the national cathedral in Washington. The speech has already been hailed as his finest ever. & it only ended 15 minutes ago. Whilst I wait for the transcript which will be appended in the comments here is the other speech yesterday. ... read full story / add a comment

Recently I received an email offering me abuse and props for the Shannon Peace Festival from Mark Conroy ( a retired US Marine, not me) who seems to be taking offence at me remarking the the Peace Festival will be, and must be, anti-American as well as anti-Irish government, since it is the American military with the aid of the Irish government who are occupying Iraq and Shannon. Following is his two emails and my two responses. My second response hasn't been replied to. ... read full story / add a comment

"the 2005 World Summit is a once-in-a-generation opportunity for the world to come together and take action on grave global threats that require bold global solutions. It is also a chance to revitalize the United Nations itself. It is, in short, an opportunity for all humankind." - Secretary General Kofi Annan.
