Fifteen Year-Old Swiss Girl Taken into Care After Parents Refuse to Consent to Course of Puberty Blo... Wed Jul 24, 2024 15:00 | Dr Frederick Attenborough
A Swiss girl has been been taken into care because her parents stopped her taking puberty blockers, breaching a ban on conversion therapy. Is this what Labour means by a "full, trans-inclusive ban on conversion practices"?

Net Zero is Impoverishing the West and Enriching China Wed Jul 24, 2024 13:30 | Will Jones
The West's headlong rush to jettison fossil fuels and hit 'Net Zero' CO2 emissions is impoverishing us while enriching China, which is ramping up its coal-fired industry to sell us all the 'green' technology.

The Threat to Democracy Wed Jul 24, 2024 11:29 | James Alexander
'Populists' like Donald Trump and Nigel Farage are a "threat to democracy", chant the mainstream media. In fact, they are just reminding our politicians what they are supposed to be doing, says Prof James Alexander.

Wanted: Climate Researcher to Write Extreme Weather Just-So Stories to Serve Up to Credulous Media Wed Jul 24, 2024 07:00 | Chris Morrison
If you wondered where the MSM get all their lurid stories attributing 'extreme weather' to climate change, look no further than a new job ad for a "researcher" focused on creating alarmist propaganda, says Chris Morrison.

Jump To Comment: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10The brutalising tactics of the British Army received a little public attention recently in the matter of the unexplained deaths of young recruits at Deep Cut Barracks. This is now being washed under a tide of jingoism over 'our boys'. Young, under-educated people are tempted by British Army offers of training & adventure & even of doing good in benighted or war-torn countries, but soon find they have to fall in with the group mentality. A few people with violent tendencies love the idea of using a gun with approval, but the majority are unknowingly tools of the British (& lately, American) Government. Some ex-soldiers have come to realise the deadly charades they were sent to play. I can't hate anyone simply for wearing a British uniform.
all the brit gov wants is more and more war to keep their arms industry going and to create jobs for asbo youths, the saddest thing about the kids wearing the uniform is they can't even have any honour like thier grandads-when tommies in 1st and 2nd world war were asked why they did it they all said the same thing-for the women back home-wives,girfriends,Mothers-now when interviewed all the boys in afganistan say they do it for each other! pathetic! I almost feel sorry for them.
How can SF present this as an anti-war protest when they their leaders met with George Bush in belfast just after the 2003 invasion began and have met him on several occasions since? Why not boycott meetings with Tony Blair they man who sent these troops into battle? This is just an excercise in trying to keep people happy while SF administer British rule and its even more cynical because kids are going to get their heads burst in senseless sectarian rioting on Sunday.
Ógra SF have produced a fine quality film here in promoting their demo, a very slick production and v professional approach to campaigns.
Great to see opposition to these war criminals, they can't even get a parade in their own country.
Will Gerry Adams not be taking part in the protest? Apparently he is speaking in Sligo at SFs Euro North West selection convention. So presumably that also means that SF activists from all those counties, Donegal, Cavan, Monaghan, Sligo, Leitrim, Roscommon, Mayo, Galway, Clare, Longford and Westmeath, will also not be taking part in this protest.
Surely the convention could have been have being put back to another date? Which is more important?
Just wondering how Mark Thompson plans to be in two places at once,a mate of mine told me that he was speaking at the eirigi protest
It is a bit stupid having two protests.
where the hell is the Irish Anti War Movement in all of this. This is the biggest display of war on the island and there is not a murmer out of them. Do they like to take the easy option. I am genuinely concerned. if there is anyone out there who knows their position or why they arent mobilisin please post it here.
Now Assembling @ Dunville Park 10.30am and departing along the Grosvenor Road to the city centre to confront the RIR March.

The Ulster Star reported yesterday that the Mayor, of Lisburn ,Ronnie Crawford, has been trying unsuccessfully to get his town to hold a homecoming parade for troops . Perhaps if the issue had involved Lisbon rather than Lisburn the IAWM might have been able to work up some interest.
The front page of the IAWM's website currently has an article about an anti-war march which took place in Manchester a month ago and an article reprinted from the New York Times about the stock market crash -the NYT article doesn't make any association at all between financial crises and war. It seems perverse that the IAWM isn't publicising or mobilizing for the Belfast march . I suspect that the leadership of the organization is still too dominated by the SWP which doesn't want to give too much prominence to demos that have been organized by republicans .
