China has cancelled Christmas in Hong Kong this year. Officials have ordered that the usual celebrations be 'toned down'. It's part of a creeping intolerance that leaves churches fearing for the future, says John MacNab.

As the siege enters its sixth week Shell to Sea campaigners continue to maintain their morning pickets of Shell’s refinery site. Security outside the gates has been stepped up with the erection of a six-foot tall sheet metal fence around the main site entrance late last week. Around the same time Shell to sea signs were removed and defaced by Gardaí including one reading “community under siege”. Gardaí also ordered that the Shell to sea H.Q. trailer be moved. The trailer was moved a nominal few feet down the road and the picket continues.

Niall Harnett V Sgt. Conor O'Reilly & An Garda Síochána.

Over recent weeks there have been a number of confrontations between Niall Harnett and Sgt. Conor O’Reilly & Gardai, at the proposed Shell Corrib Gas Refinery Site, Bellanaboy, culminating last week in the breaking of Niall's driver’s window in order to forcibly remove him from his van, and the theft under ‘colour of law’ of that van by O’Reilly on Tue 31st Oct. In the High Court on Tue 7th Oct, Mr Justice Michael Peart granted to Niall an injunction against O’Reilly from further damaging or disposing of his van, which O’Reilly had threatened, and leave to seek an order for it's release without condition. Other ‘reliefs’ applied for are a ‘declaration’ by the High Court that the van was held unlawfully and that O’Reilly and An Garda Síochána have acted ‘Ultra Vires’ - the legal term for 'exceeding their powers granted by law’, which in this case would mean simply that they broke the law. read full story / add a comment

ETA leader & hunger striker José Ignacio de Juana Chaos at the moment of his sentancing.

ETA prisoner José Ignacio de Juana Chaos has commenced another hunger strike. He did so on the eve of his sentancing in protest against the expected term of 12.5 years, which has been handed down by the Spanish court this sentance is for promoting terrorism , [ de Juana Chaos authored a series of articles calling for the continuation & escalation of ETA's armed campaign. ]

The Spanish prime minister Zapatero has said in a statement that he expects the sentance (by the independent judiciary) will further complicate the nascent Basque Peace Process. Already most observers recognise that the process is in crises, the internal ETA magazine only a week ago threatened a return to violence if political progress in not seen to be made by late Autumn. Though critics of Basque seperatism would point out that since late Spring over 120 incidents of arson have been attributed to the group & one theft of 350 arms. read full story / add a comment

When the leader of a political party with a track record on social policy like Fianna Fail’s starts talking about children’s rights, it’s time to sit up and be alarmed – particularly so when it is in the vicinity of a general election. Fianna Fail are a party who have perfected the art of claiming to do one thing while in fact doing its opposite. The issue of child protection should not be used as a back door through which further reductions in the rights of parents to secure adequate state services for their children is introduced. read full story / add a comment

In the last week this year's "transparency org" world corruption perception report has been published. It's a report which is taken seriously by some, and certainly no country looking for foreign investment wants to be at the bottom of the 163 states ranked this year. (Interestingly the world boasted 158 states for last year's report)

But both the annual list of "corruption perception" and "bribery perception" indices, can not be understood as isolated statistics. Just as Greenspan's biographer assured us he takes stock of over 4000 weekly indicators, we can not consider just one single country or economy when discussing corruption or bribery. Nor can we refuse to draw in other human development indicators, (the UNHDR report) all the usual "facts and figures" and internal data.
