Britain's new Foreign Secretary, David Lammy, is on record calling Donald Trump "a racist KKK and Nazi sympathiser" and has refused to apologise. This is clearly going to be a problem, says Peter Harris.

Catching Covid Does Not Lower Your IQ Tue Jul 23, 2024 09:00 | Noah Carl
Headlines earlier this year proclaimed that catching Covid may knock up to 6 points off your IQ. A new study punctures this claim: there was no decline in cognitive test scores after Covid infection.

Jump To Comment: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12A very well-attended (especially by Gardai! but they might learn somethin), superbly organised event. Congrats to all.
This post is a difficult one on many levels - first, sincere thanks to the organisers, Sr. Majella and Senator Norris.
There is, as I have said on many occasions, a deep empathy between the people of Erris and the Ogoni people of the Niger Delta.
Neither Shell subversion of a supine State government nor that government's abuse of its regulatory, police, judicial or other roles is going to get a petrochemical complex installed in Ballinaboy.
Shell is still, 12 years on, persona non grata in the Delta; Shell in Erris, through greed and speed showed their fangs before they had secured their toehold. They will not succeed now.
The 21st century must be non fossil-fuel based before its end - Erris will not be used as a commodity of last repository for the dregs of a half-dead dinosaur.
In memory of Saro-Wiwa and his comrades.
Well done all.

To me, this all helps to expose the despots and the plutocrats, and their democratically elected dictatorships, for what they REALLY are.
We, the citizens of the Republic of Ireland, need more of this - as much as we can get (in my view).
Brilliant work all; best wishes to Sr Majella, as she'll be hugely missed.
Went along Sat evening to remember Ken Saro-Wiwa and the Ogoni Eighth.
Thanks to the organizers for giving us the oppportunity to do so.
Pity there seemed to be as many garda as people there
Sad that the state wasted so much of our money paying so much garda overtime to 'protect' the shell hq from a peaceful vigil in memory of a murdered hero, cash which could be put to much better uses's
The purpose of the commemoration was to remind people of Shell's appalling record of using State apparatus to enforce their will on people around the world, something they do with terrifying effect in Nigeria, and something they are attempting to do here in Ireland.
Shell's method is to spread corruption, pollution, and if necessary murder, to further their profits. The presence of such a large force of police at a commemoration hopefully brought that home to those present and others who will hear about the event (including people in Dublin communities crying out for a bigger garda presence).
In the latest news from Rossport, a local man has been given a six month (suspended) sentence plus a fine, for allegedly assaulting a Garda on election day, and others who took part in peaceful obstruction of the highway in July have been given Community Service Orders.
Well done to Shell to Sea for organising this event. The film and speeches were short, but poignant. The tone of the vigil was appropriately sombre and reflective. I'll never forget my disbelief on hearing of the hanging of Ken Saro Wiwa and the Ogoni 8 and it was good to have the opportunity to mark the event in some way. Maith sibh
ETC London in Video First for Shell Centre
http://news.etnow.com/etnews.nsf/0/26ac482caf5bc9048025...ument
ETC London became the first company to project video onto the 351 ft high Shell Centre on London's South Bank in an event marking the reopening of the Science Museum's fabulous Launchpad gallery - which is sponsored by Shell UK Limited.
The eye-catching large format projection was a combination of video and PIGI projection, with live sessions of - 'Launchball' – a hugely popular multi-level online game available from the Science Museum’s website. This was played on a PC set up in the projection area and projected into a giant 40 metre by 30 metre mask on the building. The mask was created by the PIGI projectors, and the game – via video projection - was beamed into this space. The PIGI projectors were also used to create a series of scrolling texts with information about the Launchpad gallery.
ETC's London office was approached directly by Shell to design and engineer this high-impact visual event for the occasion, drawing on ETC's extensive experience working on the landmark building. ETC's project manager Paul Highfield comments: "Obviously it was a great coup to be the first to project video onto the Shell Centre Tower - and I'm sure it will open up many future possibilities. It was also good to be working with the Shell team again on a new and very different project."
Having posed the question, the only answer I can offer is that people are hanged from a height.
