on the 26th of July 1956 Nassar read the proclamation in Cairo by which his popular government liberated the Suez Canal from joint Anglo-French imperialist stockholders. It was one of the most significant nationalisation declarations of history leading to an attack by French & British troops on Egypt and then their sudden abandonment by the USA. 1956 for many proved the watershed (forgive the pun) which forever locked Britian and France out of their imperialist past and proved their inability to act "on their own" if the USA did not support their actions. read full story / add a comment

Kilkenny City centre came to a standstill last Saturday afternoon as an Ógra Shinn Féin rally passed proudly through the streets of the City. The rally assembled outside Kilkenny Castle, the Norman home of the Butler's of Ormond. Those present listened intently as the rally, chaired by ÓSF local organiser, Peadar de Bluit, was addressed by Lisburn City Councillor Paul Butler, and Carlow / Kilkenny SF General Election candidate Kathleen Funchion, both of whom spoke about the significance of the Hunger Strike and the legacy left by it and the duty of those left behind to strive for the Ireland for which those 10 young men and indeed many patriots died for during the centuries of occupation by a foreign force. read full story / add a comment

'They knew I was a Catholic: I was an appropriate target' - Almost six weeks after a son of Police Ombudsman Nuala O'Loan was viciously attacked at a north Belfast interface, the young victim speaks to Irish News chief reporter Sharon O'Neill [Note: This story and the others - including a letter from me in the Irish News on July 24 - illustrate the way in which sectarianism, orangeism and unionism are interlinked. The brutal sectarian killing of Michael McIlveen, the vicious attack on Damien O'Loan, the Orange bonfire 'celebration' of the killing of McIlveen and the Orange Order banner remembering a UDA sectarian killer - all of these are part of the carnival of reaction which the state of Northern Ireland was created to promote and to sustain. Susan McKay’s piece shows the relationship between Ian Paisley’s bloody rhetoric and the bloody misdeeds of his followers (followers he, with consummate hypocrisy, will later distance himself from). The state of Northern Ireland is a failed state. It is Britain’s failed state. Tony Blair and George Bush justify massive violence, death, injury, torture and cruelty on peoples in the Middle East. Meanwhile, Northern Irish unionists, the biggest supporters of British violence overseas, inflict it at home also on ‘the enemy within’, who they identify on the basis of their Roman Catholic religion.
