offsite link ?Offensive? Christmas Songs Could Fall Victim to Labour?s Banter Ban Sun Dec 21, 2025 11:14 | Jonathan Barr
Festive revellers may have to be careful which tunes they pick for a Christmas sing-along down at the pub, as songs like ?Baby It?s Cold Outside?, ?Do They Know It?s Christmas??, and ?Jingle Bells? might offend the staff.

Bush has responded to the recent bombings in Egypt with a finger pounding demonstration of determined imbecility; he once again identifies “the enemy” (as singular) implying a centralised terrorist group. If the USA had any credible intelligence they would know that the ‘enemy’ is in fact many separate and spontaneously occurring cells rather than a fixed hierarchical centralised group. Misinformation could be another reason the USA is failing in Iraq! US troops are unable to locate the “enemy” to which Bush and his administration continually refers – we should not forget that Rumsfeld briefs Bush on these matters. read full story / add a comment

Yet another example of the double dealing by the World Bank. On this occasion however the bare faced fraud carried out by the World Bank has been exposed. They have been shown to have blood on their hands.

Condi Rice dropped in to Shannon on Monday, seems like she is a regular down there.

from today's Daily Ireland editorial

"Another controversial visitor to these shores is George Bush’s secretary of state Condoleezza Rice, who we learn is constantly popping in and out of Ireland on her way to destabilise regions around the world at her master’s behest, like a commuter through Connolly Station.
There is nothing illegal about Ms Rice’s movements through Ireland, but given her current role in the Bush war machine, and the fact that the US involvement in Iraq is deemed illegal under international law, her transitory visits, conducted as they are under virtual secrecy, are distasteful to say the least. They are also extremely discourteous to the Irish sovereign nation, which is officially neutral – a state of affairs which is being progressively eroded by the inaction and toadying of the current government to more militarily and economically powerful nations." read full story / add a comment

Now this something worth protesting about. Maybe even an embassy deserves to be burned! This student had to pay extra for a visa because his name was Mohammed! Maybe someone should tell the US that a lot of nasty people shared the name George including kings who oppressed the American colonists.

I cut and paste this piece from the Irish Times because I found it extremely alarming.
Tax cuts fuel the capitalist system - producing a larger bourgeoise capitalists class - I don't need to mention the effect the SSIA's will have on economic growth once they reach fruition.
Economic growth in this country has to be stopped - it has destroyed the power of public sector unions created material wealth at the expense of spiritual decay and attracted legions of brain washed "consumer-voters" who worship at the PD/ Fianna Fail facist capitalist altar.
We need social justice not economic growth.
So heres the story:

A new tax-cutting policy aimed at average middle-class families was unveiled by the Progressive Democrats at the conclusion of the party's national conference in Limerick yesterday. Attacks on the Labour Party over tax, immigration and health dominated much of the conference debate. Stephen Collins and Liam Reid report read full story / add a comment

Graffiti artist Marc Ecko broke into a government facility where one of the Boeing 747 planes which serve as Air Force One was parked, and tagged it with graffiti. Ecko then posted video of the tagging online, along with a video statement of “why I tagged the President’s plane.”

- Or so he says. As it turns out, the video is fake. read full story / add a comment

The title would suggest that the writer is not attempting to ingratiate self with the readership; to remove any lingering doubts in that regard you can go fuck yourself or any other female/male member of your immediate family, OK!

Concern that the Garda Reserve Force is now almost certain to be established were expressed today.
Senior gardaí yesterday backed plans for a reserve force.
Publicly announcing support for the Minister for Justice’s proposals for the first time, the Association of Garda Superintendents said the move would put more visible presence on the streets.
President of the AGS, Superintendent Noel McLoughlin, said the scheme, which is widely opposed by rank-and-file members of the force, would enhance their capacity to respond to emergency calls.

However veteran homeless campaigner Fr Peter McVerry has said the plans are "madness" see today's Daily Ireland. http://dailyireland.televisual.co.uk/home.tvt?_scope=Da...opp=1
