The United Nations took another step in its long road to irrelevancy on January 31 with a report announcing that the Sudanese government was not conducting a genocidal campaign in the Darfur region. It agreed that there were indeed mass killings of civilians, torture, rape, pillaging, possible war crimes and perhaps crimes against humanity, but there was no evidence of genocide. read full story / add a comment

When he was 21 years old, Hadi Salih was seized from his home in Baghdad by Saddam Hussein's secret police and summarily sentenced to death. His crime? Forming a trade union and campaigning for decent wages and basic health and safety conditions. read full story / add a comment

Iraqis vote to re-establish the institutions of government. Africans, South americans and Asias die for want of vaccines, food, clean water, and in bloodshed caused by the warmongers active and passive of western economics. Plague is everywhere. clean water is only found in the West and they complain about it's quality. read full story / add a comment

Over the course of the past few months I have written to the various divisions of companies that are based in Ireland and who manufacture what are known as ‘anti-psychotic’ drugs. What I have found in the course of this research and the responses I received is that there is a serious lack of information concerning the health risks provided in the patient information leaflet (PIL) or package leaflet that a patient receives with these drugs. The response of the Irish Medicines Board, as I will show, in all of this has been very disappointing given that they claim to exist in order to monitor and ensure that medicines are safe for patients. read full story / add a comment

Mike Leigh’s ‘Vera Drake,’ is set in Islington, 1950. Surprise, surprise, this ain't no nostalgia trip. It’s a world not far removed from Orwell’s 1930’s ‘Down and Out In Paris and London’ with his amazement at an English working class ability to subsist on regular doses of bread and tea. The dry taste of soda bread, the smell of dampness and the comfort of a 'cuppatay' is as palpable as the scars of war staring blankly from the eyes of shell shocked characters like Reg (Eddie Marsan) who having lost his mother to the blitz lives a bachelors life on ‘bread and drippings’. Rationing is still a reality, nylons are traded for smokes and parasitical black marketers and creditors make a fortune door to door, in neighbourhoods perpetually clouded in grey. read full story / add a comment

The tough guy (or the tough girl) is the accepted norm in politics and public affairs generally - particularly since the days of Margarer Thatcher. We have heard seductively in the past of the efficacy of "tough love." But what is toughness? Is it just cowardly bluster? Is it a real virtue in sport or in our personal lives, for example? read full story / add a comment
