offsite link Record 111,000 Claims From Asylum Seekers in Labour?s First Year Thu Aug 21, 2025 19:04 | Toby Young
Applications for asylum were up 14% on the previous 12 months after a surge in migrants reaching Britain in small boats, according to official figures. So much for Labour's promise to "smash the gangs".

Just 58.3% of all pupils across the UK passed their maths GCSE this year, down from 59.5% last year and the lowest since 2013. But the percentage of students getting the highest grades was higher in free schools than other schools.

offsite link The Truth About Britain?s Wildfires Thu Aug 21, 2025 15:00 | Paul Homewood
It is simplistic to blame the recent spike in wildfires on climate change, writes Paul Homewood. A more likely cause is the rewilding of uplands, supposedly to cut carbon emissions, and poor management of forested land.

offsite link Lucy Connolly and Ricky Jones: the System Worked as Intended Thu Aug 21, 2025 13:00 | Nick Rendell
Lucy Connolly's jail sentence versus Ricky Jones's acquittal shows not two-tier justice but two-tier laws ? the system worked as intended, says Nick Rendell.

offsite link Dramatic Slowdown in Melting of Arctic Sea Ice Surprises Scientists (But Not Climate Sceptics) Thu Aug 21, 2025 11:00 | Toby Young
The Guardian, of all papers, has acknowledged that predictions about the disappearance of Arctic sea ice may ? just may ? have been exaggerated. Paging Gore Vidal: Can we have that prize back please?

West Cork Bus to Shannon Blockade

category cork | anti-war / imperialism | press release author Sunday November 23, 2003 22:22author by Dominic Carroll - Clonakilty Against the Warauthor email clonakiltyagainstthewar at eircom dot net Report this post to the editors

Build the Blockade

A bus from West Cork to Shannon is being organised (cost: €12). If you would like to book a seat, please do so as soon as possible, as numbers are limited.
For details or to book, contact clonakiltyagainstthewar@eircom.net

If there were any doubts about whether “actual war” is still being waged by the US/UK, recent events must surely have dissolved them. The so-called "War on Terror" has made the world a very dangerous place for all of us. In Iraq, the upsurge of attacks against the US/UK coalition has led to "Operation Iron Hammer", whereby US forces have resumed bombing from helicopters and the notorious AC-130 gunships.

But as the demonstrations in Britain showed, opposition is once again on the rise. Bush and his cabal are now under severe pressure in the US to pull out of Iraq.

In Ireland, we can play our part. Refuelling by the US military at Shannon Airport must be brought to an end, and can be if the opponents of Irish complicity in this war rebuild the anti-war movement in this country. The Shannon Blockade is an important step in this process, and we would urge all anti-war activists to be in Shannon on Saturday 6th December.

The blockade is intended to be a peaceful act of mass civil disobedience. The objective is to effectively shut the airport or disrupt normal operations for the duration of the protest. A big attendance is crucial if we are to succeed. Please be there.
