'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.

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 10 11The British Minister of Education in the 6 counties is a Sinn Fein member who attacked the class room assistants in local schools to introduce budget cuts dictated by the DUP.
Educate to be part of the British system more like.
Ogra Shinn Fein should start their campaign by demanding that the Northern Ireland Assembly Executive (which Sinn Fein are a major component of) scraps tuition fees in the North.
Until then nobody can take this 'campaign' seriously.
Another very important question I have is this - why have OSF decided to go on a solo run on this issue, and not, like other student Political groups have done, join the FEE (Free Education for Everyone) Campaign?
There needs to be a strong, active and united campaign in the colleges to battle as hard as possible against fees etc, this move by OSF will lessen the ability to fight back, not strengthen it as they seem to be claiming...
So I would genuinely be very interested to hear from an OSFer why they have deiced not to join the FEE campaign
How come Sinn Fein don't call for the removal of state support for private schools? 90 million euro of taxpayers money to educate the wealthy elite. Maybe, Mary Lou has an objection due to personal reasons?
ÓSF have worked, participated and supported initiatives with FEE, including marches and occupations etc. I mean is there a formal vetting and recruitment structure where you sign on the dotted line?? Stop being so pedandic.
Also this is a campaign organised by young people, progressively calling for Free Education For All, and should be welcomed. Fair play to anyway making this call and working for it.
The sectarian scabbling from the micro left and pseudo 'republicans' is a disgrace, but hardly surprising.
Good campaign, and good demand.
Ógra and Sinn Féin are opposed to state funding of private education. its just not the be all and end all of our views on education. We also didnt mention educate together in the release or even teaching maths, does that mean we are opposed to them...wise up.
Ógra have been involved with FEE sinces it beginning, you must not be to involved if you dont know that.
Can OSF please explain how they can call for free education in the South when they are enforcing university fees as part of the Assembly Executive in the North?
Do OSF think people in the North are second class citizens and do not have a right to free education?
And please do not insult our intelligence by dismissing this question as squabbling of the micro-left.
The assembly does not have the power to remove fees, that is in the hands of westminister, which is why we are campaign for both devolution of economic powers and the removal of fees.
You really should know this if you know anything about the assembly. I assume you do but you dont care about reality when it allows you to score some pathetic points on a website.
You are wrong, the Northern Ireland Assembly does have the power to scrap fees but decided against it as it would be "too expensive" and would "contravene equality measures because offering free tuition to all would benefit the wealthy more than the disadvantaged."
SF MLAs failed to turn up and vote against increases in tuition fees last year in the assembly.
" thats in the hands of westminster " - just about sums up Sinn Feins position.
