In the last months an extraordinary plague of mice has hit China. Only in the last days has the story gone from the sarcastic coverage verging on racism "poor Chinese people think eating mice is good for the libido" turned to serious reporting of the phenomena. Which naturally the Chinese state are keen to downplay. The mice are estimated by the Guardian (reporting Chinese state authorities) to number over 2 billion now. Strange things happen you might think.., Except that in early June farmers in the mid-peninsular region of Spain roughly at the same lattitude as those affected in China began to complain of plagues of voles or fieldmice. Voles are pretty much like mice in that they are small rodents which feed on crops, do nothing for your libido if eaten and once they enter your water or sanitation system spell complete disaster for anyone who survives the famine which used to follow soon after. ... read full story / add a comment

Some socialists would claim that Iran is goverened by a radical anti-Imperialist regime. However the way Iran treats asylum seekers shows that the Iranian government is just as racist as the US when it comes to immigration. The article below was written by a member of the Communist Party of Iran (MLM). A campaign to kick out Afghan refugees in Iran is continuing unabated. Between late April and late June, the Islamic Republic of Iran rounded up more than 100,000 Afghans working in Iran and dumped them on the other side of the border. ... read full story / add a comment

Andrew Johnson Prior to the recent Dail election, the one constant prediction had been of very large gains for Sinn Fein. In the event, the party made a modest gain in its vote share, from 6.5% to 6.9%, a credible gain in absolute votes from 120,000 to 140,000, but failed to win any new seats and suffered the high-profile loss of Sean Crowe in Dublin South-West. ... read full story / add a comment |
