As anyone in the hinterland of UK politics will have noticed, one of the House of Lords UK Independence party wanted to invite Geert Wilders the far-right Dutch parliamentarian with the ugly hair and uglier politics to show his "Fitna" vid this afternoon in Westminster. But then the UK Home Office decided he was persona non-grata. Ooooo shock & horror a society, which like many in Europe faces an increase in far right politics and anti-migrant opinion against the backdrop of economic collapse, has now turned to debating whether or not he should have been allowed past the passport desk in the name of "Freedom of Speech". ... read full story / add a comment

"I would rather be in prison or dead than blindly submit to a government I know is corrupt and wrong. I would rather dare to live free and fight against injustice than cower in silence and despair.

It seems that the Galway by-pass may not now go ahead as planned after a dramatic eleventh-hour realisation by the Minister of the Environment that he is a member of the Green Party. "I had no idea I had these sort of powers, to stop developments that threaten the country's environmental heritage and prevent loss of habitat, until one of my civil servants (who I was making tea for at the time) pointed out that the Galway by-Pass is not sponsored by Shell, and although the Corrib bridge has a confusing name, it actually has nothing to do with the Corrib natural gas (eight billion euro giveaway) scheme in Mayo!" the Minister is not reported to have said. ... read full story / add a comment
