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 5I'm sure the minister is being completely impartial in this, and it has nothing to do Niall O Brolchain electoral ambitions at all.

Actually the vested interest galway bypass propaganda campaign spearheaded by none other than the highly suspicious "property magnate on a teacher salary" mr Frank fahy worked rather well here in the west and had the local population quite convinced that this road would actually alleviate some of galway's chronic traffic problems (yeah right!!). So much so that it was actually tantamount to electoral suicide for the well meaning Mr o'B to oppose the bypass.
I fear ironically that the economic downturn has been our saviour in this case, as the obvious waste of money that was the galway bypass became a candidate for a decent cost cut on the "road" to gathering more money to bail out much bigger and more important vested interests than those (and the friends of those) who owned land along the proposed route of a rather useless road in the back ass of ireland. i.e. the Irish banking sector
I'm glad to see the back of this project, but the idea was that the funds saved from ditching this would be used instead to help fund an integrated public transport plan for Galway instead. Fat chance of that happening now though. Still, the traffic situation will be less of a problem, now that there are less people commuting into jobs in the morning. Eh folks?
"I had no idea I had these sort of powers, to stop developments that threaten the country's environmental heritage .."
So now the Muppetter for the Environment realises he has the power to stop developments that threaten the country's heritage? He has his knickers in a twist about a "slab of limestone pavement" when he thought he had no power to stop the destruction of the Screen Valley at Tara which contained multiple sites of global significance.
I wonder though has Cowan sent out his little green poodle to delay the development because funds are tight? Give the mutt a bone.

it's rumoured that habitat is more powerful than archeology in the planning process.
dempsey's speech here would make you puke........... unless he really believes it to be true:

he and gormley might just be letting the dust settle gently as road projects are one by one shelved until the economy becomes more economic.
