national / rights, freedoms and repression / other press Friday October 23, 2009 15:44 by Peter Sutherland's Nemesis
The vote at the European Parliament was on a "motion condemning interference in the media and calling for legislation banning media monopolies in EU countries was defeated" thanks to Fianna Fail and Fine Gael. The majority of the sycophantic media in Ireland will no doubt ignore this story - and fair play and thank you to The Irish Examiner for printing it. So ... there's no fear for Tony & Gavin O'Reilly's "Independent News and Media" or for Denis O'Brien's "Comunicorp" semi--and-growing-monopolies of Irish newspaper and radio respectively, when we see the cringing support given from Ireland's FF and FG Members of the European Parliament to Italian Prime Minister Berlusconi. Gobshite right winger Thatcherite embarrassements that they are. read full story / add a comment

As this article is published the leader of the BNP, England's neo-fascist racist political party & one of the principle articulators of European neo-nazism in the English language has entered the BBC studios in London to take part in a BBC "question time" broadcast. The presence of Griffin has not gone without protest or reaction in Britain as much as in Ireland. This article collates much of the recent coverage of that reaction & puts this week's publishing on the internet on "Wikileaks" of the current BNP membership list in context. But the point of this article is to examine from a leftist and Irish perspective the possible consequences of the BBC invitation to Griffin and the reaction in the liberal English chattering classes and at parliamentary level. Rather than moving to a revamping of the Race Relations Act the British it seems are considering a return to the censorship which was applied to the factions of the north of Ireland in general and Sinn Fein in particular. read full story / add a comment
