ARTICLE 19, the Global Campaign for Free Expression, is concerned at the news that Basque-language newspaper Euskaldunon Egunkaria remains unable to resume publication following its closure by the Spanish authorities in 2003, due to alleged links with the banned terrorist group ETA. Euskaldunon Egunkaria, established in 1990 as the first and only Basque-language daily newspaper, reportedly with a readership of 15,000 and widely respected throughout the Basque community, was raided by the authorities on 20 February 2003. On this occasion, documents and computers were seized, and the newspaper’s assets frozen. In addition, ten individuals who were or had been members of staff, including the newspaper’s managing director Iñaki Uria and former editor Pello Zubiria, were arrested in dawn raids and held incommunicado for up to five days. read full story / add a comment

It has been long observed that people for some reason on their non-banking days readily absorb shite about Dangerous Places, Famous People, Sensible Saving Options, Holidays, Interesting facts, Sport results, Media, gardening and health as well looking ahead at “opinion polls” and looking back at "how history was made".

Here are three dates-
july 27th 1968,
August 29th 1975
Nov 20th 1975

Today marks the 30th anniversary of the last "one".
It also marks the 60th anniversary of the Nuremburg trials.

Anyone asks you, you know what to say.
"they're not in Poland or Romania".

For plane spotters, here are the registration numbers of the flights in question. Please note they have gone through Shannon. Please note also, that these flights are using "diplomatic immunity" to evade control, in the process breaching sovreignty of nuetral nations and insulting allies of NATO. It has gone beyond the stage of the benefit of the doubt. These flights are not transporting "tippy toppy interpreters on call".
