So much for Labour's pledge to cut energy bills by £300, says David Turver. Under GB Energy, our bills can only go one way, and that is up.

Congradulations to ye all. Did ye get Mr. Crabs recepie for his 'special' sauce or will Sponge bob keep that secret also??
Mabey his spatula could be used to disarm the next one...whenever.
Pity the people of this god forsaken country diddnt keep it up, might have prevented a few thousand kids from getting murdered with the blessings of Bertie, Harney, Mc.Doughall, the cops and the branch all hiding behind orders comming from the white house.
As Gene Kerrigan in the sindo wrote...'The aquittal of the catholic workers was the only act of sanity in these insane times.
Well done,again. Paul.

After checking out the picture above "A Special Hint for a Special Branch",
I am pretty sure that the one on the far left is wanted in connection with the Love Ulster riots.
His photo fit picture was on Crimecall.
The rumour on the street is that he's hiding out in a place called Nickelodeon.
Anyone with further information should contact the police.

When Saad Tawfiq watched Colin Powell's presentation
to the United Nations on February 5 2003 he shed
bitter tears as he realised he had risked his life and
those of his loved ones for nothing.
As one of Saddam Hussein's most gifted engineers,
Tawfiq knew that the Iraqi dictator had shut down his
nuclear, chemical and biological weapons programmes
in 1995 -- and he had told his handlers in US intelligence
just that.
And yet here was the then US secretary of state --
Tawfiq's television was able to received international
news through a link pirated from Saddam's spies next
door -- waving a vial of white powder and telling the
UN Security Council a story about Iraqi germ labs.
"When I saw Colin Powell I started crying. Immediately.
I knew I had tried and lost," Tawfiq told AFP five years
later in the Jordanian capital Amman.

basic fact is they knew there were no nukes, they knew there was no AlQ connection to Saddam, they knew Iraq would collapse into ethnic genocide, they lied about it all, and close to a million have died since because of Bush, Blair, Powell and so on. And Ireland still plays its supporting role
...and how many of the highjackers came from Saudi Arabia?
It's good to hear you're keeping well. The pitstop ploughshares set the bar pretty high, this time five years ago. Too high for some people's liking (the leader of one political party phoned me that morning demanding what-the-hell-and-who-the-hell-was-that!?!).
We should celebrate Mary's action which preceded it, and all the other hell raising and trouble making that's come and yet to come to demilitarise Shannon Airport for good!
Peace and best wishes to all!!
