Have they seen the brutalisation of protestors instigated by the quango that comprises
the NRA?

The EU , this morning answered a tabled question regarding the ongoing works at
Tara, the EU believes those works are stopped.
Protestors have been criminalised and brutalised as a result of a media driven government
campaign to isolate them, in the belief that ordinary commuters think they need the toll road. read full story / add a comment

News coming from the Meath conference of AGSI says that the Gardai want murder trial televised for
General Public viewing, supposedly that would up the clothing allowances of the judge's bench and provide
a cannon fodder of violent and disturbing viewing for the General Public.

Maybe they will provide interactive buttons for people to get involved in the legal process.

The risible reason for this suggestion is to show 'us' the great people and public viewers what Gardai
must suffer in the courts. They seem well enough appraised of the rights of the individual and one
of those is the presumption of innocence.

Around 60 or 70 people rioted in Finglas in Dublin last night. Cars were burned and crashed into roadside barriers. A large force of police engaged in running battles with the rioters, and twelve people were arrested.

Local people allege that the riots were a "celebration" of the release from prison of a local criminal. Others have claimed that the easy availability of alcohol, coupled with the complete absence of any meaningful activities for youths in the area, were the cause of the trouble. read full story / add a comment

St Patrick's flag flutters in front of Limavady Orange Hall, Co Derry

This morning, the St Patrick's flag flutters in front of Limavady Orange hall in Co. Derry. The Irish flag of St Patrick, not often seen even in northern Irish Unionist districts, is a diagonal red cross against a white background. When combined with the English Cross of St George (a red cross against a white background, often seen at English football matches and on nationalist rallies in Georgia in eastern Europe) and the Scottish Cross of St Andrew (a diagonal white cross against a blue background) you get the British Union Flag, known colloquially as the "Union Jack". read full story / add a comment

The viable crucifixion uses nails through the arms & holds the body in foetal position

Tonight the BBC will air the first part of their 2008 "Passion" drama in which Simon Elliott the production designer has chosen to depict a "historically accurate" crucifixion as possible. ""He was probably put on a crude wooden gibbet and made to stand in a loose, foetal position. It was fiendishly designed."" says Mr Elliott who admits his work might offend Christians who like the traditional nails through the hands & feet image of a muscular sort of chap who manages to just hang there without suffocation or his hands being ripped apart.

Pretty gruesome stuff you'll agree. You might even believe in it. In which case you ought jam the BBC switchboard tonight & write letters using the trusty name "disgusted". read full story / add a comment

Have heard from two reliable sources that Squeek has left the tunnel at Rath Lugh. She left with Gardai and some of her family present. The Gardai have taken her away from the site as far as I am aware.

Here's hoping for 100 to take her place. Tara is THE symbol of dead-end corruption and anti-democratic government in Ireland. The dictatorship of the developers. Pitting people against each other.

Well done Squeek. Takes a lot of nerve. read full story / add a comment
