Any electrician knows that Lego bricks are genderless, not 'heteronormative', because each can 'mate' with any other. Perhaps Science Museum staff should study to be electricians and actually make themselves useful.

Any parent can currently withdraw their child from school if they're unhappy. Labour's Schools Bill ends that right for many, giving local authorities a veto. That's why all parents should protest against this state power grab.

The Covid Inquiry's presumption that the vaccines were safe and effective is like the Post Office Inquiry presuming that Horizon was reliable, say Ben Kingsley and Molly Kingsley. It compromises the entire enterprise.

Seán O'Driscoll has written an excellent article in yesterday's Irish Times (March 11 2006) on who gets barred from St Patrick's Day Celebrations in the USA. As the IT is a sub-only site, I've pasted in the article below.

Several Irish politicians and other public figures are giving George Bush nice publicity on Patrick's Day in the White House, one day before marchers all over the world demonstrate against the USA government's barbaric war in iraq.

The twisted religion of Blair and Bush
Phillip Blond and Adrian Pabst International Herald Tribune

FRIDAY, MARCH 10, 2006
Secular Britain was shocked last weekend when Prime Minister Tony Blair said that God would be his judge over the war in Iraq. Similarly, President George W. Bush has often used God to justify the war on terror as a religiously blessed and righteous campaign against "evil doers." Predictably, those who oppose the war view themselves as secular progressives untainted by religious fundamentalism and the madness it produces.

The prospect of Iran developing a nuclear capability (which would realistically entail at least a five-year time frame) did not prevent John Bolton, US representative to the UN, stating that a “painful” response would be inflicted on Iran if it failed to comply with UN (American) dictates! Questions of the UN’s independence aside, is the focus on Iran a distraction from the debacle that is Iraq or is the USA following their PNAC strategy with little regard for consequences? ... read full story / add a comment

Shannon District Court today threw out charges against four anti-war protestors who were arrested following a peace demonstration at Shannon Airport last September.

Niall Harnett of Dublin and Liscannor, and Conor Cregan of Cronin Lawns, Shannon had charges of failing to obey airport police officers withdrawn by the state.

The two had gained access to a balcony in the main airport terminal to display anti-war banners on September 17 last.

Another two protesters, Margaret Liddy and St. John O'Donnabhain had charges of failing to provide names and addresses to Shannon Airport Police withdrawn. ... read full story / add a comment
