Ofcom Still Isn?t Sure What a Woman is ? But it?s Sure There?s Going to be a Climate Apocalypse Fri Jul 04, 2025 17:27 | Will Jones
When GB News asked Ofcom to confirm that debates on biological sex are now 'settled', incredibly it replied 'no'. Yet it deems the Net Zero debate to be settled? We're through the looking glass now.

If anyone can be in Dublin on Wed 1st dec. There is to be a public meeting on a response to the IMF/ECB intervention, from a justice perspective:
The meeting will be held at the:
Central Hotel, Exchequer Street, Dublin at 6.30 PM
Chair: Nessa Ní Chasaide, Debt and Development Coalition
Speakers: Michael Taft, UNITE, on the mechanics of the crisis and the intervention.
Jose Antonio Gutierrez, LASC, on the lessons from Latin America.
Siobhan O'Donoghue, Tax Justice Campaign, what are our alternatives?

The blog can only cover what's happening on the streets. At the moment this seems to be blockading government cars, occupations (as we saw at the student demo) and small acts of graffiti and vandalism.
When the day hopefully comes that we see mass acts of civil disobedience (walkouts, strikes etc...) then the blog can cover and promote those events.
Fair enough, the blog is a good idea, but as long as opposition to the status-quo is limited to things like grafitti and egging buildings it will represent no real threat. We need to move on from protest, the left I mean, to rallying around an alternative platform for taking power, which everyone can work towards, using the power of strikes and other forms of civil disobedience that can actually hit the ruling class where it hurts. Sometimes when I see the Guards beating the shit out of protesters or think of the wannabe Banksys out there spraying their little protest in the dead of night when there's no-one around, I think the fat cats must be happy enough to see people 'venting' their anger in this way rather than focusing it in any really dangerous way.
