WorldbyStorm - 14:43 Sun Feb 12, 2012 Thanks also to Séo for drawing my attention to these.  A
Garibaldy - 11:42 Sun Feb 12, 2012 We start this week rather surprisingly, with the Sindo doing something useful, namely reminding us of the extent to which recent tax hikes have hit the lowest paid, who collectively in 2011 paid 215% more than they did in 2010. Middle class earners up to 50,000 are also paying more, and as we might expect [...]  A
Garibaldy - 21:13 Sat Feb 11, 2012 More Photos here Statement from the KKE: The KKE hung 2 giant banners from the rock of the Acropolis on Saturday morning, the second day of the 48hr general strike. Hundreds of members of the KKE holding red flags and shouting slogans against the barbaric measures of the government-EU-plutocracy called on the people to a [...]  A
WorldbyStorm - 08:42 Sat Feb 11, 2012 Okay, here?s a roundup of bit?s and pieces on less political issues that have struck me over the last while. First up Steve Kilbey of the Church and Sophie Koh cover the Go-Between?s Streets of Our Time. Starts out a bit hesitantly, to my ears, but improves rapidly afterwards. In a way there?s almost nothing [...]  A
WorldbyStorm - 07:54 Sat Feb 11, 2012 London based, formed in 1989 and positioned right in the heart of the burgeoning baggy movement, Flowered Up were one of the more interesting, if less well known exponents of the form. I have to admit to a terrible weakness for all things baggy – well, okay, not quite all things. The Farm [or was [...]  A
guestposter - 21:29 Fri Feb 10, 2012 Many thanks for this guest post. _____________________________ Today, an email titled ?Investment in Ireland and job creation are top of the Agenda of this government? arrived in my inbox from the Eamon Gilmore, Tanaiste and Leader of the Labour Party. It is part of the process of engaging party members, sending out these email updates. [...]  A
Garibaldy - 18:13 Fri Feb 10, 2012 Full statement available here. PAME?s forces in a decisive move occupied the Ministry of Labour and hung a huge banner on which the following was written: ?No to the new massacre of the people- Down with the Government- The Troika must go- Disengagement from the EU.? This occupation highlighted that the government-Troika-plutocracy have a plan [...]  A
WorldbyStorm - 12:50 Fri Feb 10, 2012 Had to smile at the news that? HOPES THAT Anglo Irish Bank?s art collection could help to raise significant money for the State have been dashed by the bank?s discovery that many of the paintings ?have no value? ? just like its once highly rated shares. When Anglo became the State-owned Irish Bank Resolution Corporation [...]  A
irishelectionliterature - 05:30 Fri Feb 10, 2012 Starting off this week with leaflets on the Household Tax.. One from the United Left Alliance and one from The Socialist Party Back then to Section 31 and ?Trade Unionist Takes on RTE censorship?- A Larry O?Toole related Anti Section 31 leaflet from the Free Speech Legal Fund and also a Selection of Anti Section [...]  A
WorldbyStorm - 00:51 Fri Feb 10, 2012 ? I?d want to echo a point made by Crocodile in comments about on the subject of the Irish Times ?Middle Class? report. That is the fact that this was the first public article the editor had added his own imprimatur to by way of an introduction and photograph. No such luck for those struggling [...]  A |
