offsite link The ?Golden Age of Nuclear? is a Sham Thu Sep 18, 2025 07:00 | Ben Pile
Rejoice! For we are at the dawn of a "golden age of nuclear", according to the UK Government. There's just one wrinkle, says Ben Pile. It's reactors for shiny data centres, but unreliable renewables for the rest of us.

Home Births Outrage!

Women in the North West have now been told that when they give birth, they no longer have the right to do so at home. The “right” to have a child outside of a hospital has always been a battle with the Authorities-who make pregnant women fill out dozens of pages of irrelevant
questions, and submit written applications before they decide whether they are suitable for a home birth...-and now the Health Board has reduced it’s staff (for home deliveries) to just one woman! As she is not permitted to attend a birth alone, and as the North West covers Donegal, Sligo, and Leitrim, women are now left in the unpleasant, and unexpected, situation of having to go to their nearest hospital, if they want some kind of midwife attendance. The nearest hospitalin many cases, including my own, is over 35 miles away. Will we take this lying down???!! I think not. (Report from a Sligo anarchist.)

whether you are in hospital or at home, you are still going to have to take it lying down.

Is this true in the west (ie:Mayo, Galway, Roscommon)as well?
I wouldn't want to have to step inside the door of Castlebar Hospital. Everyone I know who has gone there has come out sicker than they were or dead. I'm serious, infected drips, Hepititas ,etc.
