The British based news magazine "The economist" this week led with a cover "Italy the real sick man of Europe" which saw a little illustration of the peninsula on crutches hit news kiosks across the continent and a lot of content inside on the moribund, stagnant, depressed economy, and little digs at the lack of media freedom, disregard for civil and human rights and the "smellyiness" of it all. ... read full story / add a comment

"If Jesus Christ was alive today he would defend investigation with maternal [stem] cells" :- James Watson one of the discoverers of the double helix DNA molecule in a print interview published by the La Vanguardia in Spain yesterday. Makes me laugh. When exactly did Jesus die? Or rather didn't he die and go through the Resurrection? Isn't that why he's famous? Isn't he alive, still? out there somewhere, waiting to return and tell us all about stem cells, life support machines, exactly what sexual acts between consenting adults are ok? at what price a house may be sold? whether it was the right thing to invade iraq? & Today it is reported that the US congress have been debating changes to US law to allow stem cell research. Mr Bush believes Jesus lives, and he's not a scientist, he's a pharisee or saducee. & he's just lost his vote. ... read full story / add a comment

Mass-produced computers can KILL Microsoft and free the world's computer users. They'll be too cheap to accommodate MS Windows -- MS's bread and butter. Computers will go the way of TVs and VCRs -- cheap offshore (non-USA) production. They'll be cheap, simple, general-purpose (FREE SOFTWARE), all-electronic (no disk drive) -- in other words, real electronic computers, finally.

the BBC are on strike from midnight 22/5/05 to midnight 23/5/05. Help them out. Don't watch BBC TV. (it may surprise you, but two of the BBC terestial channels are broadcast by powerful antennae into the Irish homeland). If you were sold a telly set with these stations on the preset selection, it is your duty as a socialist to ignore them today. ... read full story / add a comment

The uranium level in El-Khalil valley reaches 237 becquerel (bcq) per kilogram3, which equals about 10 times the permitted concentration, which is 25 bcq. The Thorium 232 (Th) level reaches 152 bcq where the permitted concentration level is also 25 bcq. The readings on Cesium 137 (Cs), another radio-active isotope that only emerges from nuclear explosions or nuclear activities is equivalently high. ... read full story / add a comment

Below is a link to a site explaining just what Trolls are. I've noticed Trolls winding people up on this site, especially when it comes to mocking those killed in war or humiliated in some way. Obviously this causes a lot of anger and distracts from what are otherwise interesting and informative discussions. http://members.aol.com/intwg/trolls.htm Hopefully the advice on this site will help people cut through the crap that Trolls ply them with. Remember, don't take the bait! ... read full story / add a comment

Banksy, one of those names which has been recognised for years amongst the European underground artivism scene, not least because he thought to leave his name stencilled near his better work which left on the walls of Bristol, London, Barcelona and many other cities, helped us work out the name he likes for himself, and indeed be additionally inspired to explore the artistic and political potential of the stencil. ... read full story / add a comment

Ryanair, that company which so brazenly took one of the national emblems and built no less than an empire of precarity out of budget tourism, has come through scandalous criticism after scornful spite.

William Bowles' _Investigating Imperialism_ blog criticises the current framing of the Peak Oil debate. He likens the predicted oil shortage to other shortages under capitalism, specifically the food shortage problem and draws attention to the remarkable coincidence that it's always the Third World that causes demand for increased resources! ... read full story / add a comment
