With so much attention being focused on the cuts to social welfare and public sector pay the little matter of the taxpayer funding of political parties has been neglected. Hard as it is to believe the budget of all the Leinster House parties was untouched in Lenihans cutback free-for-all. The question must now be answered of all the parties - will you continue to take your full allocation of taxpayers money while the poor go hungry? read full story / add a comment

Here are extracts from a report by Amnesty International which documents the outrages carried out by Iranian militia and police. Vids and the full text is at the link. Human rights violations in Iran are now as bad as at any time in the past 20 years, Amnesty International has said in a new report on the aftermath of last June’s presidential election.

The newly formed Coalition is today launching a manifesto and website www.childrensmentalhealth.ie to demand action from the Government. read full story / add a comment

And now we have President Obama, who wants to work with the United Nations and be a player rather than to dominate and control. Sounds good. We await the reality as he expands the war in Afghanistan, keeps Bagram airbase prison full of the tortured and uncharged, finishes off the destruction of Iraq, refuses to end the occupation of Okinawa, has the thick skin to criticize China for human rights abuses when America itself has a deplorable record, and now militarily threatens Iran! Not exactly the sort of new player we had hoped for perhaps! But let’s keep our fingers crossed..." read full story / add a comment |
