AI is a distraction from what it means to be truly human, says Dr David Bell. We should aim for far greater things, find again the vastness of the jewelled sky and the light that only shines in another's eye.

offsite link Why Are the Irish Media Ignoring an Apparent Islamist Knife Attack? Sat Aug 09, 2025 09:00 | Andrew Devine
When a man in Dublin stabs a police officer while shouting "Allahu Akbar" you can be pretty sure it's not the work of an indigenous Irishman. So why are the media at pains to pretend it is, asks Andrew Devine.

British TV grows more and more unwatchable with each passing day. That might be because BAFTA is on a mission to transform every TV show into climate propaganda ? and it's just stepped up a gear, says Steven Tucker.

Anti-War Resisters Imprisoned

category international | anti-war / imperialism | news report author Friday January 11, 2008 07:25author by Prison Solidarity Report this post to the editors

They're in There For Us, We're on the Loose for Them!

As the war escalates and expands and our movement grows, more resisters will be imprisoned. This can either be an experience of great solidarity and empowerment or demoralisation and defeat. A lot of it depends on us on the outside. Consider sending a postcard or solidarity letter to the following prisoners......

This week anti-nuclear weapons /Trident Ploughshares resisters Helen John (40 days) and Georgina Smith (45 days) Jailed in Scotland for Resistance to Trident

If they're well behaved (this is a big IF we these two!) they should have a release date of March 2nd. 08.

Solidarity mail can be sent to the individual prisoners

Court Report of Sentencing

We had 4 people from FPC and Bilston in Edinburgh for
the court case of Helen John and Georgina Smith
(painting the High Court). The Erskine bridge was
closed and the traffic was just a nightmare, so we
just made before the sheriff sentenced them. Georgina
was sentenced to 45 days in prison and Helen to 40
days plus £1500 compensation each.

The will be held in Cornton Vale Prison Stirling.
: “ they argued articulately and valiantly with
an implacable Sheriff.” “God help Cornton Vale when
they get there.”
