President Trump's dumping of the Paris climate agreement is a huge deal, saving billions of dollars and the nation's car industry, among much else. Let not the alarmists in denial say otherwise, says Tilak Doshi.

It's welcome to see growth overcoming Net Zero considerations when it comes to the Labour Government's line on Heathrow expansion. But is it a false dawn for the demise of green ideology, asks Ben Pile.

The "alleged" problem of grooming gangs and claims of 'two-tier policing' are part of a "Right-wing extremist narrative" and police should record more non-crime hate incidents, a leaked Home Office report says.

all the glitters aint tinsel. UNICEF 2005 Report.

"burn down tinsel town"

a reminder that the exploitation of children by using them as workers, is ILLEGAL not only in Ireland but in Holy Ulster as well, (where until only thirty years ago they weren't even allowed use a public park on sunday) but throughout the European Union and the world at large.

Millions of children around the world miss out on their childhood as a result of poverty. Poverty deprives them of the capabilities needed to survive, develop and thrive. It prevents them from enjoying equal opportunities. It makes children more vulnerable to exploitation, abuse, violence, discrimination and stigmatization.

Why then do the authorities not do enough to endthe trivialisation of child labour?
Children sew clothes that are found on Grafton Street,
Children pick coffee beans and tea that are found on Mary street.
Children make tinsel and christmas decorations throughout the asian "tiger" economies so beloved of the PDs - Tinsel that is found on....

“It’s not enough to give the child all he need monetarily but also to create an enabling environment which would protect the life, dreams, future of the world’s child…”

young man, 21, Nigeria

¡¿¡ DID YOU KNOW ?!?

Total number of children younger than five living in France, Germany, Greece and Italy:10.6 million

Number of children who died in 2003 worldwide before they were five: 10. 6 million. Most of these deaths could have been prevented.

30% of births in Catalonia are to non European immigrants of whom the majority have not presented for ante-natal care, the majority of whom are not being offered a place in the richest countries on earth of which "hurler in the ditch" Ireland is one?

Please ask your politicians to stop turning a blind eye to inequality at home and further afield.

Read the UNICEF report.

In one of the first signs of the effects of the ever tightening federal budget, in the past two months the Bush administration has reduced its contributions to global food aid programs aimed at helping millions of people climb out of poverty.

With the budget deficit growing and President Bush promising to reduce spending, the administration has told representatives of several charities that it was unable to honor some earlier promises and would have money to pay for food only in emergency crises like that in Darfur, in western Sudan. The cutbacks, estimated by some charities at up to $100 million, come at a time when the number of hungry in the world is rising for the first time in years and all food programs are being stretched.

As a result, Save the Children, Catholic Relief Services and other charities have suspended or eliminated programs that were intended to help the poor feed themselves through improvements in farming, education and health.

[....]

Further complicating aid programs is a debate at the World Trade Organization over concerns that the United States has used food aid to dump surplus commodities in foreign countries where the supply has undercut local farmers' earnings.
