Campaigners for a fur farm free Ireland were in Donegal Town last Saturday raising awareness about the cruelty of fur farms and also that County Donegal is the fur farm capital of Ireland. read full story / add a comment ![]()

People who have spent long periods on neuroleptic medication are familiar with the deadening effect it produces, its effect on physical well-being. It requires the utmost in personal resources to maintain any kind of fulfilling or enjoyable lifestyle while taking these drugs. Proof of this is the widespread issue of non-compliance where mental patients are concerned. Plainly the main reason why mental patients resist taking prescribed medication is that all of the medications including newer ones like Risperdal are unpleasant and debilitating. read full story / add a comment ![]()

It's amazing that an active politician, albeit of the right, has found himself in the privileged position of both funding and financing a hate crime movie. The man know the laws of his country and is an elected official thus we can all presume that the only reason that he made it was for ego-indulgence. Lots of politicos do that- its called abuse of office. How far we have come from being privileged to study the word and poetry of Islam? Sufism provided many international writers with an area of study and cross-cultural pollination that has benefited Western art and literature in the poetry of Hughes and the writing of Lessing , to name two. Westergaard got an injunction to have his image removed- it was opposed to fanaticism, not Islam. http://www.nrc.nl/international/article1032015.ece/Wild...ction http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/7310439.stm read full story / add a comment

On Saturday March 29, about 800-1000 people demonstrated against the installation of a US missile base in northern Poland. The base, which the governments of the US and Poland would like to build in Redzikowo, just outside of Slupsk near the Baltic Sea, would house elements of the American Missile Defense program, namely so-called interceptor missiles (which can also be used for offensive purposes. Despite the fact that 60% of local residents and over half of all Poles are strongly against the base, and only a small fraction of the rest support it, the government is intent to go ahead and build the base. A radar base is also to be built in the Czech Republic, again despite the opposition of most citizens. read full story / add a comment

A major and imminent threat to women’s rights looms in the amendments being put forward to the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Bill. ‘Pro-life’ MPs aim to reduce the time limit for abortion from 24 weeks to as little as 13 weeks. Although the Labour Party formally defends the current time limits, Gordon Brown like his predecessors will allow a free vote, so as to appease the significant and vocal anti-abortion section within the cabinet. From reports, it seems likely that there will be some reduction, probably to 20 weeks, given the current balance of forces, as there is strong support for such a move among Tory, Liberal Democrat and Labour MPs alike - all of whom will have a free vote. David Cameron has taken the lead by announcing that he will be using his vote to lower the limit. read full story / add a comment ![]()

This is a very interesting 'theory' about the events concerning Politics.ie and Fianna Fail. http://skinflicks.blogspot.com/2008/03/politicsie-consp....html More Info on the situation here: http://www.stalltheball.com/index.php/2008/03/30/irelan...h_hah Have looked around and I would say this is having a significant chilling effect on public discussion of the tribunal on the web. Can't talk about it on politics.ie or boards.ie anymore Significantly the cache is still available on google of the original thread which staryed this off. Search: 'Grainne Carruth politics.ie' Gene Kerrigan article available here which puts the whole thing in a stark light: http://www.politics.ie/viewtopic.php?t=33229 Democracy or soft dictatorship?

The health crisis - Now is the time for a National Campaign The Government is: * Cutting frontline services while protecting its sweetheart deal with Big Pharma. * Creating a 4-tier health service where access depends on the size of your wallet and where you live. * Closing second level hospitals, leaving hundreds of thousands without ready access to inpatient facilities and putting them at risk of death and disability. * Privatising health care - scooping millions for corporations at the expense of our public health service. The conference will outline the roots of the current crisis and - crucially - create a space for discussion with activists, trade unionists, medical staff, community leaders, patient groups and members of the public, and take the first step in launching a national campaign for a sustainable health service. read full story / add a comment
