Starmer to Push Britain into Stricter Net Zero Targets Under EU Deal Wed Dec 24, 2025 15:26 | Will Jones
Keir Starmer is preparing to tie Britain to the EU's Net Zero plans in a move that would impose radically stricter 'green' energy targets on homes and businesses, leading to further deindustrialisation and impoverishment.

Dumping of sewage into rivers is supposed to happen only 'exceptionally'. But in Odell it occurred for over a third of the year. In Bedford it may be worse ? but the monitoring equipment is broken, says Mike Wells.

A study has found that "catastrophic language" on climate appears eight times more often in Guardian articles than in other news media ? and it's getting everybody down. Wasn't this obvious, asks Ben Pile.

Cork pro-choice film screening
Cork Women�s Right To Choose Group
Invite you to the only screening of
�If These Walls Could Talk�
Starring Cher, Demi Moore, Sissy Spacek & Ann Heche
In the Kino Cinema, Washington Street Cork
On Sunday Morning September 7th 2003 @11am
Set in a single suburban house, this HBO production spans 40 years, comprising three stories that examine the evolution of a woman�s right to choose an abortion in the US. Directed by Nancy Savoca (DOGFIGHT, TRUE LOVE) and Cher, this film is a poignant examination of the evolution of the abortion debate, beginning with the tragedy of illegal back-alley abortions and ending with the violence so prevalent at women�s clinics in the US.
This pro-choice film screening is to mark the twentieth anniversary of the insertion of the Eighth Amendment into the Irish Constitution in 1983. This amendment conferred on a foetus a right to life equal with that of the woman in whose womb it developed. It has been used to restrict access to information on abortion and it has deepened legal uncertainty about whether terminations on medical grounds may be performed, even in cases in which the life of the woman is at risk or in which a foetus is not viable. Even after the 1992 X case, in which a suicidal 14 year-old, pregnant as a result of rape, was given permission to have an abortion, no legislation was introduced to provide for such cases. On the contrary, since 1992, Fianna Fail-led governments have twice attempted to roll back this judgement in order to ensure that a child, pregnant in such circumstances, would have no access to abortion in Ireland.
Statistics suggest that as many as 19 Irish women travel to Britain for abortions every day. This is an option for those who can afford it, though as well as the stress caused by crisis pregnancies, the fact that they have to travel means that these women suffer enforced separation from families and friends. What options have women who cannot afford to travel, or asylum seekers afraid that they will be refused re-entry to Ireland? Interestingly, a recent survey found that 11% of GPs in Northern Ireland had treated patients following amateur abortion attempts. No such survey has been conducted in the Republic.
The Cork Women�s Right to Choose Group is involved, with other organisations in the Alliance for Choice, in working for the repeal of the Eighth Amendment and the introduction of legislation, which reflects the needs of women. The film screening is part of this ongoing campaign and is intended both to mark the passing of the Eighth Amendment and to raise consciousness of the complex issues around abortion. The CWRCG hopes that you will attend this film screening and support the Irish pro-choice campaign.

Why should I pay (through my taxes) for people to kill their babies ?
...because they're not actually babies?
Even if we are unwilling to categorize foetuses of a month or two as babies, isn't the poster correct, since as far as we can tell--and those of us who are familiar with the US abortion lobby know this to be true--the pro-abortionists who made this film are highly unlikely to oppose late-term abortions. Therefore it is actually a question of them supporting the killing of babies, of 6, 7 or 8 months gestation.
And count me as another one who doesn't want his taxes used for that either. There's already too much killing going on in this world.
for killing human beings for the sake of convenience.

I had an abortion at 13 and now (at 23) I counsel women who suffer from Post Abortion Trauma. This movie tries to make abortion seem like it's not a negative thing, however the topic goes well beyond black and white. Don't count on this as your education regarding terminating a pregnancy. Instead volunteer at a clinic and watch the change which befalls women afterwards. The vacant look you see in their eyes will overpower you much more than Demi or Cher. I assure you.
you say " the introduction of legislation, which reflects the needs of women"
That's very vague. Have you any more details?
Oh dear, oh, dear! Poor asylum seekers having to go back to England to have their abortions! How tragic! Bloody hell, as far as I can gather,these poor asylum seekers are flooding into Ireland to have their children here so they can become EU citizens. Why the hell would they want to have an abortion? Ask any Nigerian in England or Nigeria why they are targeting Ireland and they will all tell you it's because Ireland is the easiest place to gain EU citizenship.
Nigeria, potentially the richest country in Africa because of their oil wealth is also the most corrupt country in Africa. Why are they flooding into Ireland? Why Ireland? What have we to do with them? There is no war there. So why are they claiming refugee status all over the world? Why is there 500,000 Nigerians in Argentina? Why is there 1 million at least in London? Why are they targetting Dublin? Why have we Muslim refugees in Tralee? Why? Almost the furthest outposts of Europe, places like Trallee in Kerry, Donegal. What are these people doing here? What is the sinister plan behind all of this? Why suddenly has Ireland got to become multiculturist? Who is pushing this agenda? Is Bertie Aherne being blackmailed? Are we being forced into accepting a certain number of third world Muslim immigrants? Why?
And take your racist paronoia back to the hole with you!
The PC fascists are so quick to brand people racist. These are genuine questions that most Irish people are quietly asking themselves.
If we had a referendum on immigration tomorrow we would close up our borders to non-EU people immediately.
I am very worried about what is going to happen next year, when thousands of Poles, Czechs etc are going to start arriving and demanding work and accommodation.
It is racist...saying all Nigerians are out for one thing IS racist.
As for the crap about "closing our borders" - economic lunacy.
