Reports of the Demise of the Scottish Enlightenment May Have Been Premature Fri Apr 26, 2024 13:00 | C.J. Strachan A month after the arrival of Scotland's Hate Crime Act and it appears reports of the demise of the Scottish Enlightenment may have been premature, no thanks to the SNP but due to the doughty spirit of the Scots.

The Push for Global Censorship in Australia Fri Apr 26, 2024 11:17 | Rebekah Barnett Should governments be able to censor online content for the entire world? That's what Australia is claiming the right to do. But do they really think China and Russia should be able to choose what the world sees?

Wednesday October 24, 2007 19:27 by Michelle Clarke - Social Justice and Ethics
Economics: Lets form an equation....Money Supply, Unemployment,
We the plain people
Aaron Russell documentary is well worth watching..........
The presentation alerts people involved in financial, markets, transactions to review history before consolidating on present day financial transactions..
Some pointers to look at for those who form the group Plain People of Ireland - all of us who pay tax.
Pensions and what comprise these funds. Examples cash and cash returns from bank...if rates are low for mortgages, they will be lower for cash invested.
Stocks and shares: Are people about to Change attitude, take a Green Route, look to companies for social and ethical policies as distinct from those who seek profit and place little value on labour. The returns are volatile but some bed and breakfasting using knowledge might help people to tune back into real living and a fairer distribution of wealth. Ought we support the building of Wall - Palestine? Ought we support arms supply, etc?
Cash: What about the Black market cash? Where is it hidden? Maybe house prices reflect hidden cash so a down turn in house prices may ultimately benefit a less corrupt society, then we have the recent example of Mr. Wall hiding his cash...(Berties).....in the Ashling Hotel for safekeeping.
220,000 houses reported vacant - why? Rents are increasing, the social housing list has been increasing for years, there are people homeless - yes as many at 15,000 people of all ages roam the streets and backlanes of Ireland looking for beds. Again, we need attitude change in those who make and implement social and economic policies.
Local Authority Housing: At least when one looks back to policy in the 1920's, 30's, 40's etc.......we know that Government FF and FG tackled the slum problems with their origins in pre-independence by setting up local authorities in Dublin and the Counties and providing housing and Flat developments to provide for many people in need of urgent accommodation. Areas like Crumlin and other estates provided housing for large families over several decades and then Government while in a privatisation mode of thinking allowed the tenants to buy out their properties.
For some people, privatisation of local authority housing provided massive gains (unexpected I am sure)........and the stock of houses dwindled and the private market benefited, from many local authority houses built in years by. Next time you pass an estate agency just pick up a brochure and you will get a good idea of how high prices are. Areas like Cabra and Crumlin, former local authority houses now cost Euros 550,000.
I note the price of the Pembroke Cottages in Dublin 4 at about Euros660,000 but I do know that before I emigrated in the harsh eighties to England, IRPounds27,000 1983, would have bought me a house in that estate near Herbert Park.........the problem was then about employment.
Service Sector......a greal growth sector in Celtic Tiger Ireland......Is this aspirational? Is this tied into the vision associated with the Financial Services Market? This is about Fluidity. I note that Ireland benefitted from major banks but I note that the Swiss are reviewing their approach to the market and intend to open up to the more risk averse Hedge Funds?
Products sold by financial institutions.
When do staff who sell Financial products with tax initiatives stand accountable? I often spoke about Accountability, Transparency, Ethics parameters in our business dealings but alas we are so amiss here. Will someone explain to me how Mr. Michael Lynn, a Mayo man, unknown in the legal profession until the last few weeks, could bring the morals of the legal profession down to its knees and with the help today of Mr. Byrne, another alleged rogue solicitor. Mayo have not won the All Ireland in 56 years but Mr. Lynn could f... up the whole legal profession in Ireland ..... next week....will tell all or then will it......
Mr. Lynn now allegedly owes between Euros 36 to 52 million. Mr. Byrne today reports Euros 22 m of an alleged mortgage scam. The alarm bells are starting to ring. How many people in Ireland unknown to them have had their deeds of their house used by these rogue solicitors? When they finishing the building of the new prison at Thornton Hall - I don't think there will be enough room for the legal profession, the developers, the profiteers and other corrupt practitioners. Where is the Regulation? What responsibility does the Department of Justice take for such irregularities?
Plain People of Ireland
We have the service, we have the employees providing the services from countries far and wide but what we evidently have lost is our manners. There is falsity of class, that drive their flash cars, have the boats, their private schools, their live-in housemaids but do we really care about what behaviour exists........The expression used to be 'jumped up' but the time is here for admonition of their behaviour and an ability of people to say that we will not endorse the abilities to have the money power supply and treat the rest of us like dirt on their shoes.
The people who control the National Supply of Money..........from the documentary ................ What are we willing to do about this?
I ask about Tara? I ask about Shell? It is worth looking up the postings on Tara and looking at the coincidence in the names of developers who have bought land adjacent to the motor way. Why is nothing done? Is it to do with the High Kings of Tara, the archaelogy or is it about 'Who has control of the decision making process'....? The ECJ appears to be in support of the people.....yes the plain people........
and.......the appointment of the Developers........?
Consuming Passions
'In a consumer society there are inevitably two kinds of slaves:-
......the prisoners of addiction
and the prisoners of Envy
