Why I Fear What Labour Will Do to the Education System Sun Jul 28, 2024 11:00 | Stephen Curran
We are facing a radical agenda set by the progressive wing of the educational establishment, says Dr Stephen Curran. We should build on the past 14 years' foundation, not tear it down.

The Extreme Weather We?re Experiencing Is Not Man Made, According to the IPCC Sun Jul 28, 2024 07:00 | Mark Ellse
Day-to-day weather, with all its extremes, is "just weather", according to the IPCC. With their authority onside, we can shrug off the BBC's melodramatic climate reports and misinformation, says Mark Ellse.

Jump To Comment: 1 2 3 4 5THESSALONIKI HUNGERSTRIKE - UPDATE
Just a quick update-
As you know an application for bail on humanitarian grounds was entered by the legal team 12 days ago.
This was supposed to be an urgent application but the cheif prosecutor is dragging his feet, perhaps in the hope that the hungerstrikers will call the strike off before the decision is made. In effect he is playing a lethal game of chickin.
He is however coming under pressure. The Minister for justice has now publicly ordered him to speed up the decision and also to investigate the evidence of police misconduct. This is a result of all the press attention and protests worldwide so well done everyone!
In the meantime the condition of the hungerstrikers continues to deteriorate and time is running out.
Today the medical team was denied access to visit their patients at Koridallos prison and the legal team's inquiries are not being answered
Please ring the secratary of Koridallos prison and ask him why this is happening on 0030 2310 754 933
Salonika 7.....
News
The public prosecutor issued today (Nov.24) his proposal concerning the application for the release of the Salonika 7 on humanitarian grounds: it was NEGATIVE. The council's final decision is to be issued within the following days.
Have no doubts, the State is murdering our comrades.
We can't have young people going around equipped to create havoc and injury to people and property.
It is the opinion if the Greek authorities that these people are too dangerous to be released among the general public and I'm very happy with that.
Ireland.com have covered todays protest. Curiously the report came from Reuters. The IT picked up the story off the newswire and couldn't even be bothered to send a hack the couple of hundred metres down the road to cover the story themselves.
There were about 20 people on the picket outside the Dail today. Aengus O Snodaigh was the only TD who came out and joined us for a short while. A letter was delivered to Cowen and Roche, but neither could be found and it appeared that all of their minions were also unavailable at lunch.
All of the protestors were anarchist / grassroots types. It seems that all of the so-called revolutionaries and anti-capitalists are taking an attitude of 'their not ours, so we're not interested."

Supporters of five imprisoned anti-globalisation protesters who have been on hunger strike in Greece for up to two months kept vigil today in what they say has become a death watch.
The five - two Spaniards, a Syrian, a Briton and a Greek - are refusing to eat as a protest against their imprisonment since being arrested during riots at a European Union summit in Greece in June. They are awaiting trial on charges of possession of explosives and weapons.
"Doctors last week gave us a time limit until the end of this week," Mr Charis Ladis, the lawyer for the two Spaniards, Mr Fernando Perez and Mr Carlos Martinez, said outside the guarded hospital where the two were being treated today.
"Theoretically they [all five] could die any minute, or they have a week to live."
Syrian Mr Suleiman Dakduk has been on hunger strike the longest, 63 days. Briton Mr Simon Chapman, the Spaniards and the only Greek defendant, Mr Spyros Tsitsas, started their fast in early October.
The Syrian, Briton and Greek are back in prison after receiving hospital treatment, but doctors have urged authorities to transfer them back to hospital. All five have been hospitalised several times.
Supporters of Mr Chapman claim his bag was switched during his arrest for another containing firebombs and hammers to implicate him.
A Greek newspaper last week ran pictures of Mr Chapman's arrest taken by news organisations, which the paper said showed the alleged switch of bags by police.
Seven anti capitalists locked up without trial - and not a peep out of GR - "the" Irish anti-capitalist movement?
They were too busy jet-setting around on Ryanair flights to foreign countries talking about doing stuff in social forums with reformists - while back home the real activists were fighting battles, and WON.
Do they have any credibility? DO THEY FUCK.
