The main excess points to the EU for those seeking work or escaping repressive regimes are Italy and Spain.

The overwhelming majority of migrant workers within the EU who were not born in the EU have passed through these countries.

Thereafter the majority have come by land routes to the east or by air to Heathrow London. ... read full story / add a comment
international / worker & community struggles and protests Monday September 20, 2004 - 14:56 by The Blanket reader   text 3 comments (last - wednesday june 07, 2006 - 13:21)
The Blanket update includes, Davy Carlin on NIPSA Dispute, Mackers on Scargill, Mc Cann on Pat Finucane case , O Comain on Ulster Britishness, and Laim O Ruairc, on Waste.

That meeting on Scargill was very well attended and I believe Mackers gives a fair report of it although he has a dig at the SWP. Worth a read, as are the other items, I also think that the satire and pictures are getting better over time, but thats just my opinion. Keep it up! ... read full story / add a comment

interesting article in the weekly worker on homophobia by oppressed people and what the lefts attitutde is and should be.

Criticising the oppressed
The gay rights group, Outrage, is renowned for its headline-making campaigns against homophobia - of, for example, the Church of England, Robert Mugabe and elements of the Palestine Liberation Organisation. This led to a fierce denunciation by the SWP’s Lindsey German and a heated exchange on BBC2’s Newsnight. Most recently Outrage has highlighted the murderous lyrics of certain Jamaican reggae artists. But is it right to criticise the oppressed? Peter Tatchell, Outrage’s leading activist, explains his approach

Extreme physical conditions have a way of bringing out the strangest behaviors that nature can muster. Just ask physicist John E. Thomas. Two years ago, he and his colleagues at Duke University in Durham, N.C., were working with intense lasers in a high-vacuum chamber at temperatures next to absolute zero. They were manipulating tiny clouds of lithium gas. When the scientists turned off the lasers, peculiar things began to happen. At first, the microscopic puff of lithium billowed out of the spot where the lasers had held it. But then, instead of expanding evenly in all directions, as any normal gas would, the lithium cloud morphed into a pancake. ... read full story / add a comment
