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.

The sweeping House of Commons reforms proposed by Green MP Ellie Chowns are evidence that the Mrs Dutt-Pauker types have moved from Peter Simple's columns into public life. We're in for a bumpy ride, says Sean Walsh.

Hardly surprising really as Nobel was the inventor of dynamite and was probably trying to make amends for the havoc wreaked by his invention.
Somebody should have nominated Eoin Rice, Fintan lane and the pitstop plowshares movement for a joint award
Is this for real??!! It's not April 1st?
Actually it doesn't surprise me at all really. The nobel peace prize has goen to some of politicians that were directly and indirectly responsible for murder war and death. Kissinger, Hume, Trimble....
Just a quick note here, this isn't a big deal. To be nominated for a Nobel Prize all you need is a nomination in writing from a member of a national parliament or Government, a univesity rector, a professor of history, philosophy, law and theology or a former award recipient.
In short, Michael Lowry could nominate someone for the Nobel Peace Prize. Getting a nomination is nothing.

Right wing (monetrist) thought is all the rage these days. I'm in uni in Holland at the moment.
Some lunatic professor who is doing rational choice theory (ie; gobbledegtook, if you listen only to this guy) tells us that perhaps " the end of liberal democracy could be near, this is what rational choice theorists are figuring out,they have found it is not rational, babble babble..", and then he goes on all coherent, well, as coherent as Eoghan Harris on acid with his head stuck under six feet of muck.
Yep, it is all the rage. Those in power are loving it and are begining to lose all sense of reason, especially since Sep 11. The lunatics have taken over the asylem, so we have to figure out how to bypass this madness.
my first nomination of 2004 for Nobel Peace: Josep LLuis Carod Rovira, who during his 32 day term as a minister in government met with ETA to suggest a ceasefire and promote dialogue and peace.

I'd like to support a tibetan nun next- especially one who is involved in any sexual harrasment case. appreciate any suggestions/ links to signature support sites.
ETA are terrorists. They use terrorsit tactics that target ordianary Spanish workers and holidaymakers. If Basque independence is to be achieved it must be through allying themselves to the spanish workers not killing them and allowing the spanish state use the terrorist methods of ETA as an excuse to clamp down on the Basque nationailist movement.
As for Tibetan nuns. No way. I want genuine self determination for the people of Tibet, both Tibettan and Han. If the Buddhists take over Tibet it will mean a religious state, persecution of the Han minority and a decline in living standards.
I think if a peace award is to be made it should be awarded to the millions of people who took to the streets on Feb 15 last year.
On a similar note hearing Tom Cooney ranting on Carol Colemans program on Newstalk 106 yesterday morning just typifies the thinking (or the lack of it) of these people.
It is positively scary that people like this are allowed the opportunity to form the minds of the legal profession in Ireland. No wonder we end up at the end of a such a process with whitewash artists!
Their logic is often flawed or absent, they have selective memories when it comes to their previous statements ex. where are the WMD when they supported war on the basis of their existence.
Their main tactic (Harris, Cooney, Waters, Myers etc.) seems to consist of facist suppression (ironic when they accuse republicans of facism!?) of all other possible points-of-view by shouting down all other contributors and often the hosts of any forum they are given. At least if they were capable of rational debate it would be something.
I witnessed a similar descent (to what is happening on Irish media) into an oblivion of mediocrity of the Italian media while living there in the early 1990s, particularly with people like Antonio Sgarbi who were much beloved of the media because of their outrageous views rather than actual content.
It has given rise to the phenomenon of so called TV-spazzatura (literally rubbish TV) in Italy!
A sign of things to come??
No, this is not a fairy tale
Read Tariq Ali's account of the Nobel Peace Prize, and the rogue's gallery of winners and losers.
Who was the worst choice ever for the Nobel Peace Prize?
David Trimble, right wing attacker of human rights organisations, hs no chance of winning this race.
He cannot compete with Henry Kissinger, Jimmy Carter or Menachem Begin.
Mary Kelly should be nominated for this year's prize

What about John Hume?! He's a sectarian as well
