Sadiq Khan?s officials suppressed taxpayer-funded research that showed low traffic neighbourhoods (LTNs) do not reduce car use after the London Mayor spent five years baselessly claiming LTNs are good for the planet.

The delusional EU believes it can wield carbon tariffs as weapons. But its grandiloquent Net Zero scheme is destined to collapse under the weight of the bloc's utter economic irrelevance, says Tilak Doshi.

The Right has spent much of the last decade railing against cancel culture, and was arguably winning the debate. It would be a mistake to abandon that position now.

Bush at Shannon Tonight

category national | anti-war / imperialism | news report author Tuesday February 28, 2006 14:56author by Deirdre Clancy - Pitstop Ploughshares Report this post to the editors

Air Force 1 to go through Shannon

This is not original news, as I just heard it on Newstalk 106. But it is important. Air Force 1 is going through Shannon in the early hours of the morning tomorrow morning to refuel on the way to India. There was no time given, but it's after midnight. Hundreds of guards and army are lined up to protect the war criminal and his aides.

It would be great if some folks could turn up there, though I know it's short notice and an awkward time. Bail conditions preclude those of us still being dragged through the courts after three years, by the same forces now protecting Bush, from doing so.

We don't need to accept the forces of our State turning out to protect a warmonger, whose policies have created an ongoing bloodbath in Iraq that will probably not heal for generations. This administration intends to do to the Middle East what the Regan Administration did to Central America in the 80s - bombard it into submission to its economic interests. Please don't accept it, or your country's part in it.

Soon our army will drive tanks up O'Connell Street to supposedly celebrate the rising up against empire in 1916. What a pharse, given that it is now propping an empire up unashamedly. Let's not accept the double standards lying down.
