offsite link Is Rishi Sunak English? Thu Feb 27, 2025 16:13 | Eric Kaufmann

We are at a critical moment. Ever more people are coming to the view that Net Zero is a terrible idea. But the Government is clinging to it at all costs. A new film seeks to puncture the groupthink.

To mark Sinn Fein president Gerry Adams first visit to Montserrat Abbey in Catalonia where he joined with the President of ERC Josep Carod Rovira (the Catalan republican left independence party) our own occasional contributor, Mr Eoin O Broin published at his welcomed suggestion a piece in the local english language (girona based) pan catalonia weekly paper today.

Mr Adams expressed his belief that there is enough wisdom in the current Spanish gov. to help the basques sort things out, and that Mr Blair for another term is still preferable to the tories.
He didn't say he had seen the BVM and I'm sure he got chocolate biscuits.

And stirring words they were too.
But it would breach copyright to publish them here at the moment, and so I won't. ... read full story / add a comment

There has never been an instance in recorded history when a nation that achieved military superiority did not attempt to dominate other nations. This is the inevitable result of gaining a strategic or technological ‘advantage.’ In view of the historical record, is it unusual that America would abandon its founding principles in favour of despotism and the pursuit of world domination? The path the US has taken is not new; it is a tired well-worn path that leads to certain destruction. ... read full story / add a comment

The Lebanon is familiar to many Irish, the former French posession saw the Irish army serve with the United Nations in peace keeping operations throughout the late XX century.

In that time, one man came to epitomise Lebanese politics and further became the richest man in the state. Rafik al Hariri was assasinated in a car bomb on St Valentine's day 2005. ... read full story / add a comment

the Mc Libel duo are two of the most significant activists in the development of a movement which grew from a little cupboard office to a global assault on the politics and economics of trans-national malnutrition, exploitation, disregard for the environment, labour abuses, greed and corporate negligence and deceit which was best represented in the 1980s by the Mc Donalds food corp amongst others. ... read full story / add a comment

in 1917 on May 13th some shepherd children reported that the BVM had appeared to them.

1- the end of the first war.
2- the conversion of Russia.

What is the best way for progress in Northern Ireland? Do you think Northern Ireland should become fully independent as a self-governing country? Should it drop its UK status and fully merge with and become part of the Republic of Ireland, without borders? Or should it continue as part of the UK with its own parliamentary Assembly?
