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.

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.

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?

As Director of Public Prosecutions, Keir Starmer urged restraint when it came to prosecuting people for social media posts. Why, then, was the book thrown at Lucy Connolly?

Basque Film Launched at Basque/Irish Night in Belfast

category international | rights, freedoms and repression | press release author Tuesday December 11, 2007 18:51author by Jo ta ke! - Ógra Shinn Féinauthor email osfnational at yahoo dot ie Report this post to the editors

Ógra Shinn Féin recently launched a film at a Basque/Irish Night in Conway Mill Belfast. The film explores the cultural, social and political realities in the Basque country and looks at the current struggle for independence. It is presented by Ógra Shinn Féin activists who travelled to the Basque Country in September to stand shoulder to shoulder in solidarity with the Basque people and youth movement Segi.

Introducing the film, National Organiser of Ógra Shinn Féin, Barry McColgan said,

"The current high level of oppression being directed at the Basque people is a disgrace. The Spanish state's totalitarian clamp down and human rights abuses must be highlighted and exposed across the world. We have a huge job of work to play in Ireland, we must raise the issue with the Irish public and we must lobby the Dublin government to put pressure on the Spanish for their ridiculous measures which have included the banning of political parties, arrests and torture of legitimate political, social and cultural activists."

"The film produced by Ógra Shinn Féin goes someway in raising awareness on the current situation on the fragile nature of the Basque democratic processes. It also shows the resilience and vibrancy of the Basque people and demonstrates that despite massive state oppression the movement for independance grows. I would urge everyone to watch and promote the film."

If you are interested in getting a copy of the DVD which are priced at £5/8Euro (All profit will be used in the production of future films). Please email osfnational@yahoo.ie
