The cultural significance of Stan Tookie Williams alone is huge, even if I believed in the death penalty (which I don't) I would let this man live out his years.

His anti-gang work during his 26 1/2 years in prison has been huge, for this reason alone I would be comfortable paroling him now (releasing him).

As it stands he is set to be executed on the 13th of December... ... read full story / add a comment

Paris is currently attempting to break the European record for sustained rioting in peacetime this week in the suburb Clichy sous Bois (Seine st. Denis).

So far, the parisien race riot, which centres on the death of two young african born teenagers has outlasted Birmingham's inter-ethnic rioting (which started because of a rape rumour) of the previous weekend, and even Belfast's "love ulster" bash in the summer. ... read full story / add a comment

This story describes how after World War II, millions of tonnes of nerve gas weapons were dumped at sea off the US. Apparently now it is beginning to wash up and much of the containers would be corroded by now.

Also worth noting, but NOT covered in the news report is that there are millions of tonnes of munitions (incendinary bombs -phosphorous ) dumped in the Irish Sea between the UK and the Isle of Man and a few years back, some of it washed up off Wicklow and Wexford.

The munitions were supposed to be dumped in some relatively deep trench there, but an investigation that took to people who worked on the ships say they often didn't bother go out all the rate and the stuff got dumped in shallow water too.
This probably applies in the US case too -below ... read full story / add a comment

Bishop (resigned) Comiskey moved a step closer today to an irish tricolour draped coffin when the Irish Independent accused the man of abusing underage girls but not repeat not in a taxi near moscow airport, it was in her bedroom, her parents were downstairs. He was on the way to the toilet.
Yes bishops piss. They shite too. He got lost.
