Shell are contaminating the drinking water in Mayo
mayo / environment / other press Friday April 28, 2006 10:50 by Shell to Sea   text 5 comments (last - saturday april 29, 2006 03:01)   image 2 images
The appalling story of Shell's contamination of the drinking water in Mayo was confined to those who read indymedia, and some local papers in the west of Ireland. Shell to Sea came up with a plan to give out glasses of tap water from Erris to the civil servants at the Dept of Local Government (today 1-2PM at the Customs House, Dublin) and now the story is being covered by virtually every media outlet in the country*.

It just goes to show what a press release, a fold-out table and a white suit can do. Put "Shell to Sea" in the search on Google news to see the full effect.

Good new for animal lovers! The Spanish Socialist Party are supporting rights for apes but it is not clear if this will include the right to vote.

Perhaps they feared a new outbreak of Gorilla warfare? Started by the Simian Bolivar Brigade, no doubt.

The Pope does product placing. At least that was the message from the Wall Street Journal today, and reported globally in translation. It was perhap a sly puritan reference to the rumoured movement on permissive Vatican condom rule relaxation between married really sick people. Or perhaps it was just more bollox, like the pope's election, or all of Dan Brown, or 1916, or the Moon Landings, or 911, or blood sacrifices in general, and more particularly - "everything you watch on TV".

But that much said..,
