Ray's brother famously said, 'My Brother is not a Criminal!' Writing shortly before the hunger strike began, Patsy O'Hara grimly declared: "We stand for the freedom of the Irish nation so that future generations will enjoy the prosperity they rightly deserve, free from foreign interference, oppression and exploitation. The real criminals are the British imperialists who have thrived on the blood and sweat of generations of Irish men." read full story / add a comment

As of 17 minutes the left in France has started her attack with an occupation of Trade Union offices. This is no game, no mock theatre of young malcontents venting traditional fury. This is the real thing. Tomorrow France mobilises to join the vanaguard, not only against the latest attempt to impose anglo-saxon capitalist labour market adjustments on their rights, but also to break the hegemony of the now failed Chirac regime. 57% of the French polled by Le Monde want the law scrapped. 71% of the French polled by Le Monde believe Chirac has further radicalised discontent by his televised appearances in support of his dauphin Dominque de Villepin.
