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".

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.

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.

Prison Fast

category national | rights, freedoms and repression | press release author Friday July 14, 2006 16:43author by RPAG - Republican Prisoners Action Group Report this post to the editors

Political status for Poltical prisoners!

On Friday 14th July 2006 Republican POW’s both in Maghaberry and Portlaoise will hold a 24hour fast in protest against the regime in Maghaberry and the attempts to criminalise Republican Prisoners by enforcing sub-standard conditions on the segregated landings.

SUPPORT THE POWs



On Friday 14th July 2006 Republican POW’s both in Maghaberry and Portlaoise will hold a 24hour fast in protest against the regime in Maghaberry and the attempts to criminalise Republican Prisoners by enforcing sub-standard conditions on the segregated landings.

Republican POW’s in Maghaberry have been engaged in a prison protest since 19th June 2006 and there are now over thirty POW’s on the protest. They are fighting to improve conditions for segregated prisoners in Maghaberry who are in effect being punished for exercising their right to segregation from non-political prisoners. They are demanding that their 5 demands be addressed.

RIGHT TO FREE ASSOCIATION

END TO CONTROLLED MOVEMENT

RIGHT TO FULL TIME EDUCATION

SEPARATE VISITING FACILITY

RIGHT TO ORGANISE OUR OWN LANDINGS

POW’s in Portlaoise have been acting in solidarity with their comrades in Maghaberry during the prison protest and 19 POW’s in Portlaoise will also be fasting on Friday.

The Republican Prisoners Action Group (RPAG) has been highlighting the worsening conditions that have existed since the implementation of segregation but the prison service and others ignored our concerns. This has led to POW’s themselves embarking on a protest as they felt that this was the only avenue left open to them. This issue cannot be ignored any longer, it must be dealt with and these demands must be addressed.
