The sugar tax sums up Britain's descent into a technocratic dystopia, says Dr David McGrogan. While our Government does almost nothing well, it remains a world-leader in passive-aggressive, surreptitious nudging.

The US-UK trade deal announced today is a clear win for Trump, says Sam Ashworth-Hayes, leaving the UK worse off than in March and opening up UK markets in exchange only for reducing recently imposed tariffs.

As in Canada, so in Australia, the crushing defeat of the conservative Liberal Party by Labour has been widely blamed on Trump. But in truth, Peter Dutton and his team only have themselves to blame, says Prof James Allan.

"Unacceptable Harm" Film Screening

category dublin | miscellaneous | event notice author Thursday October 16, 2008 16:41author by Susan Report this post to the editors

Global Week of Action to Ban Cluster Bombs

27 October to 2 November 2008 is the Global Week of Action to Ban Cluster Bombs. The Global Week of Action takes place one month before the Oslo Signing Conference on 3 December 2008, where more than 100 governments are expected to sign the new Convention on Cluster Munitions that bans the use, production, transfer and stockpiling of cluster bombs.

The Cluster Munition Coalition Ireland is organising a film screening of "Unacceptable Harm" - a documentary by Chris Anderson. The film documents the lasting legacy that the use of cluster munitions has had in eight of the countries where they have been used. It demonstrates the long term suffering caused for affected families and communities and the devastating developmental consequences.

The film screening will be preceded by speeches by:
Nicholas Twist, Deputy Director, Disarmament and Non-Proliferation Section, Department of Foreign Affairs
Colm O'Gorman, Director, Amnesty International Ireland
Barbara Raftery, Afri

When: Wednesday, 29 October, 18:00
Where: Filmbase, Temple Bar, Dublin

A public action will take place outside the venue.

The Global Week of Action is a week dedicated to promote awareness of the treaty and the historic occasion of the signing of the Convention on Cluster Munitions. We are calling on the Irish government to continue the leadership it showed during the Dublin negotiations by encouraging other nations to sign the treaty when it is opened for signature in Oslo in December.
