Before the Mc Libel Duo recently had time to file their claims on HMG UK for all the money Blair's regime refused them in their struggle against Mc Donalds, the Angel of the Lord George Bush had cleared through the US legislature the first part of his bid to stop "class actions".

Class actions are multi-state very american style law suits taken against corporations mostly under the guise of consumer relations (Nadarism) and rarely under the guise of worker relations (trade unionism an almost extinct activity in the USA). read full story / add a comment

Drip, Drip, Drip, the reasons were many and constant to examine the popular support for Irish owned airline throughout its growth.

Its tawdy treatment of disabled passengers.
Its poor worker relations in other countries and preference for non-unionised workforces.
Its current struggle with the Irish Airline Pilots Association.
Its history of fraudalent advertising.

Again and Again it has proved to be "the unacceptable face of capitalism".

This morning Ryanair will close a deal with Boeing to purchase at a cost 4.5billion€ a fleet of aircraft.
Thus proving a clear commitment to the arms industry, war economy and utter disloyalty to the European project. read full story / add a comment

Democracy does not spring up out of the ground.
The rights to equal suffrage regardless of socio-economic class, gender, or creed in a secret ballot are European rights.

They have rooted in the arguments of Greek sychophants and intellectuals, who never allowed their wives, concubines, slaves or migrants the same rights.

They have roots in the declaration of the rights of man of the French Revolution. read full story / add a comment
