Labour has appointed Becky Francis, an intersectional feminist, to rewrite the national curriculum, which it will then force all schools to teach. Prepare for even more woke claptrap to be shoehorned into the classroom.

Jump To Comment: 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1Heard Cake on the Radio,he sounded very despondent,unlikely he will run for any Party ,not even the All Night Party.
So Cake Scanlon has finally come to his senses and finally resigned from the Green Party today ,he cites his main reason s as being the lack of support from the Greens for the retention of Cancer Services in the NorthWest and their poor performance in Government.Cake is a longtime SIPTU activist and a former Councillor for the Labour Party in Sligo.Cakes true spiritual home is in the Sligo labour Party , which im sure, if he reapplies for membership any application would be looked on favourably,as the Party are looking for suitable candidates to contest the upcoming local elections.The Labour Party in Sligo is a very much a changed organization since he was last a member,under the outstanding leadership of Jimmy Mc Garry, Labours frontrunner and his deputy Veronica Cawley the Party locally is now more viberant, energetic and go ahead.Im certain that Cake would on his past record be an ideal candidate to contest the East Ward for Labour.
I support freedom of speech. As my posts will testify
Unfortunately, the so-call champion of freedom of expression and editor of The Irish Times,Geraldine Kennedy, cherry-picks which denial of this fundamental Human Right she will allow to be printed in Irish Times.
Also, how very convenient {for her} that this case coincides with the 60th anniversary of the publication of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights - AND... coincidentally - with the publication by her paper of the collective reflections of 31 writers on the said declaration - which shows just how manipulative of Public Opinion Ms Kennedy is.
For Kennedy and her reporters to cite and claim Public Interest and the protection of the Convention on Human Rights, while cynically ignoring the biggest story since the founding of this state: which is - the corruption of Larkin and Connolly's union at the Belfast Docks, is pathetic and beneath and beyond contempt.
What did the Citizens Army led by Connolly take over the GPO, for...?
This corruption and denial of Human Rights was compounded by the 'then' Dublin leadership of the union - which is being carried on today by Jack O'Connor. What greater denial and betrayal of Human Rights can there be, than for a Trade Union (and one with such a great antecedence) to persecute and deprive its own members of their livelihood's, and thus the means for which to feed their families?
Obviously, this is what Geraldine Kennedy thinks James Connolly and the Citizens Army fought for...?
When Geraldine Kennedy takes the stand, Bible in hand, maybe she will enlighten her readership why she claims the protection of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights - but will not practice them.
Sounds like the county manager is in the wrong job - he should be a UNION OFFICIAL. Although, it seems pig feed will save SIPTU's and McLoone's bacon as they pretend to represent workers who lose their jobs.
Back to the point: Surely this county manager is duty bound to allow council meetings to take place on council property - to stop this is a denial of democracy? There's obviously more here than meets the eye. Why would the manager be in favour of this bridge and attempt to force it through?
Why not use the weapons of the employers and serve the county manager with an Injunction? He must then allow the meeting to take place or stand in a Courtroom and give his reasons for preventing it.
He is Declan Bree Independant . Ex labour party TD and CC.... Always a fair person. Never afraid to show up injustice.. The Sligo County Manager wants to hand over !.3 million Euros to a developer to build a bridge that no one wants and it is up to the developer to build it as part of his planning conditions. Bree inquired about it and a letter from the Councils solicitors advice that it wasnt up to the council to help pay for the bridge. The Manager and his staff walked out,and still havent turned up for the last 3 meetings of the council
Who is the Independent Socialist Councillor?
SIPTU'S Leadership bully everyone. During the glory years no-one cared but now things should be different. Union members will now demand that O'Connor and the other Leaders actually LEAD - and not just pocket members dues for doing nothing.
With the economy going down the pan because SIPTU genuflected to Big Business - union members deserve a change. O'Connor and the others should be told - " Look what your sucking up has got us. We listened to you and got the least from the Boom - and now the Boom is over, we still listen to you and we lose our jobs"
Bullying is what SIPTU is very good at. Anyone who can think for themselves is stamped upon as a potential threat to their supposed agenda of defeating the employers by sucking up to them. This so-called strategy is a corruption of Karl Marx thinking of defeating the enemy from within. Trouble is {as proved by the Fas corruption} that when Trade Unionists get WITHIN they are struck dumb and blind. and lose any principles they ever had
In sympathy with members who lose their jobs, will the ICTU and SIPTU Leadership take a cut in salary to help sacked members?
If you ask awkward questions at Sligo Corpo meetings,that dont suit the establishment.And if you expose a fellow Councillor also a S I P T U member who passed a picket in order to claim expenses,all you can expect from the local Branch Secretary is a cover up job and a Red Card.
