So the Daily Mail enters the seedy underground of tabloid infotainment, a tragic day shared by many i do not doubt. A chilling mix of US republicanism and a belief that Thatcher and the Torries were not Right wing enough. 'ASYLUM' You Have A Right To Worry was a recent headline. For a time in the early 1930s its editor and journalists if we can call them that were sympathetic to some degree with Oswald Mosley and the British Union of Fascists. The editor wrote an article, Hurrah for the Blackshirts, in January 1934, in which he praised Mosley for his "sound, commonsense, Conservative doctrine". The paper also published articles lamenting the number of German Jews entering Britain as refugees after the rise of Nazism. A sad day that must be lamented on our personal weapon of communicative freedom- Indymedia. read full story / add a comment

on the 2nd of February 1972, a group of between 20,000 and 30,000 angry people burnt the embassy of Her Britannic Majesty of Great Britain and Northern Ireland to the Republic of Ireland. The building used stand on Merrion Square opposite Leinster House. They had laid seige to the Diplomatic mission since January 31st 1972, and threw petrol bombs and stones. In those days, the Gardaí had neither water cannon nor blunt trauma protection kevlar wear. And they were well worked. read full story / add a comment

Back into the theme of my recent submissions, that the model for our society is so flawed and broken that we cannot fix it, but must replace it. This time, I explore body language and how it is assimilated into advertising. This leads to an introduction into mind control and behaviour modification and how we use these techniques. A long read, but a solid argument. Are our Government and 'Big business," a pack of liars? Yes read full story / add a comment

Since 1998, when Hugo Chavez Frias became president of the newly declared Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, the charismatic president, has emerged as one of the most influential and radical leaders in Latin America. His reforms and plans, if realised could alter the face of Venezuelan society, if not that of Latin America. Loathed by many Venezuelans, revered by even more, Chavez has reached almost messianic status as the leader in a country where the socially underprivileged, the poor and the uneducated masses have long since felt disenfranchised by the political process. read full story / add a comment

Another swipe at the myth of our 'functional' society. This time the focus is the Church. Whilst they are not the power in this country that they used to be, it would be unwise to discount them. read full story / add a comment

Anarchists are usually pretty good at listing the things we are against: capitalism, racism, religious sectarianism, authoritarianism and so on. We are usually pretty good at explaining how best to struggle: direct democracy and mass direct action. Where we often fall down is in explaining what we want at the end of the day, and convincing our listeners that it is a realistic alternative rather than a utopian pipe dream. read full story / add a comment

Continuing the theme that the model of society is broken beyond repair, this submission challenges pseudo-traditional notions about employment and its benefits. The Government is confronted often with logical arguments, which are often stated in very stark terms. read full story / add a comment

A further submission following the recent theme of this contributer on the idea that it is not just an aspect of our society that has failed, but that the whole model of our society has failed and cannot be fixed. It must be replaced. This piece makes some very strong accusations and then backs them up, some ideas are offered and the piece ends introducing the next piece to be added which will be on employment. read full story / add a comment
