We shouldn?t be too quick to dismiss Chris Packham's rechristening of the Daily Sceptic as the Daily Septic, says politics professor Dr James Alexander. After all, we deal with ideological sewage every day.

Now Reuters runs a 'fact check' of a Daily Sceptic Arctic sea ice story. Being accused of "cherry picking" by an outfit that urges journalists to claim climate change makes mangoes taste worse is beyond ridicule.

Greens vote for cuts in education

Green Party Alderman Brian Wilson revealed the true nature of the Greens when he voted for draconian education cuts in Co Down last week.

A package of cuts including, 140 teacher redundancies, cuts in classroom assistance for special needs children and price increases for school meals are part of the governments attack on children’s education.

The vote was taken at a meeting of the South Eastern Education and Library Board (Education and Library Boards have responsibility for education in Northern Ireland).
DUP, UUP, SDLP, SF and the Greens are all represented on the Board. The Greens where the only political party to vote for the cuts at that meeting.

The vote was 14 against 5 for and 1 abstention.

It was shameful that an elected representative sat and voted to cut services from one of the most vulnerable groups in society, CHILDREN.
How dare he?
If this man was to go around the doors during the election saying, "vote for me, and I will agree to Education cuts", how many votes would he get?
