European politics are no doubt scintilating for the average Irish citizen now Lisbon2 is behind us & our continuing place at the heart of Europe is assured. We expect the Dáil expense scandal which hints at as much outragous sociopathic graft & cheek as our rivals in the British parliament will keep us in the top rankings. We can read about Berlusconi unknowingly frolicking with prostitutes and cocaine traffickers and think it slightly pathetic that he imagined his pretty guests were up & gaggin for it. Now new scandal at the heart of Europe which alas, is in the process of being hijacked by the far right! Sarkozy's minister of Culture, Frédéric Mitterrand, who though son of the socialist president chose a rightwing career path, is at the heart of the EU.

As we all had better know by now, a child rapist known as "Mr A". was released from custody this afternoon as a result of a Supreme Court Judgement made last week which ruled that the Statutory Rape Act of 1935 is unconstitutional. At 38 years of age he plied a 12 year old with alcohol and received a 3 year sentance which would have been served in its entirety later this year. Against that backdrop, the worst minister for Justice this state has ever endured, presented to the cabinet his proposals for new legislation on the age of consent and sexual offences relating to the underage, teenagers & mature persons. I really think the reader would do well to consider this news, and concern themselves with the issues which have emerged. read full story / add a comment

Readers familiar with the 'wry wit' of Noam Chomsky will certainly be able to identify with this magnification of his 1991 "Media Control" speech, which, in much detail, shows how one aspect of *Rollback* was, and continues to be stage-managed. For those who wish to understand how Unaccountable Power plays its games, so to undermine new strategies of *Rollback*, this article should be on everyone's list to read! read full story / add a comment |
