offsite link Record 111,000 Claims From Asylum Seekers in Labour?s First Year Thu Aug 21, 2025 19:04 | Toby Young
Applications for asylum were up 14% on the previous 12 months after a surge in migrants reaching Britain in small boats, according to official figures. So much for Labour's promise to "smash the gangs".

Just 58.3% of all pupils across the UK passed their maths GCSE this year, down from 59.5% last year and the lowest since 2013. But the percentage of students getting the highest grades was higher in free schools than other schools.

offsite link The Truth About Britain?s Wildfires Thu Aug 21, 2025 15:00 | Paul Homewood
It is simplistic to blame the recent spike in wildfires on climate change, writes Paul Homewood. A more likely cause is the rewilding of uplands, supposedly to cut carbon emissions, and poor management of forested land.

Lucy Connolly's jail sentence versus Ricky Jones's acquittal shows not two-tier justice but two-tier laws ? the system worked as intended, says Nick Rendell.

The Guardian, of all papers, has acknowledged that predictions about the disappearance of Arctic sea ice may ? just may ? have been exaggerated. Paging Gore Vidal: Can we have that prize back please?

The Struggle for Tamil Eelam

category international | anti-war / imperialism | other press author Tuesday May 12, 2009 22:47author by José Antonio Gutiérrez D. Report this post to the editors

A denunciation of the atrocities perpetrated against the Tamil people in Sri Lanka, of the distortions fed by its government to the international media and of the need to step up solidarity with the Tamil people in their struggle for self-determination. Please show your support tomorrow Wednesday 13th at 13,30 in the dáil, Kildare Street in a protest organised by the Stop the Slaughter of Tamils Campaign.

The Struggle for Tamil Eelam


The world has witnessed with unsurprised horror the ongoing carnage set up by the mainly Sinhalese[1] regime of Sri Lankan president Mahinda Rajapaksa against the Tamil people with the ruthless military offensive unleashed two years ago, which escalated after the capture of the Tamil capital of Kilinochchi in early January, and which overall has cost the lives of some 40,000 people. Since then, the cruelties of war have surpassed many times those unspeakable acts of barbarity perpetrated by the Israeli State against the people in Gaza: officially, there are 6,500 civilian casualties confirmed in a couple of months, but it seems these figures are conservative estimates, as observers, humanitarian staff and UN officials have been kept out of the “No-Fire” Zone (a quite misleading name for the combat zone), where some 50,000 Tamil civilians are trapped under heavy fire from the Sri Lankan government.
