First they were 'Asian' grooming gangs, then 'Pakistani'. But the most important thing to grasp is that almost all of them ? 87% of convictions ? are Muslim, says Mark Durie. This must not be covered up.

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

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

Firstly, I do not intend to exhonerate or belittle human rights abuses by the PRC in this piece. However, I feel it appropriate to provoke the thoughts of the readership & our horizontal media community on what exactly are the main issues & ethical social principles at the root of the recent violence in Tibet & other provinces of the PRC with ethnic Tibetan communities.

Olivier Besancourt the thirty year old mousturizer using Trotskyist who championed radical left hopes in the General Election last year & who did surprisingly well and winning 4.08% or 1,498,581 votes, & thus came fifth in Presidential candidates just behind Le Pen, & then rousingly called on French people to vote for Segolene Royal, has this evening called on French workers to a "General Strike".

The call has been made as the Socialist lead of the first round of local elections at 47% has risen to a victory of 49.5% when all candidates of the left are put in one category just as if they are, which of course they aren't. Less than twenty five minutes this brave & rousing call was made - your indymedia ireland site reports it to you. Which just goes to show how au fait the modern lefty of either Trotskyist or non-mousturizer variety is with new technology. read full story / add a comment

Five years on from the invasion of Iraq by the US people still are taking to the street to say 'Not in Our name'.

The Irish Anti-war Movement along with PANA and millions of people all over the world joined together to say no to an imperial war, phoney arguments and greed for oil. Rain falls in Dublin while bombs, destruction and devastation rains down on Iraq. Another world is possible. 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

Concern is also growing that, after Northern Rock and Bear Stearns, another bank casualty is looming on this side of the Atlantic. Many are now focusing on Irish banks, which have lent aggressively during the property boom. Irish Nationwide, which was recently given a 'C' rating from Moody's - not a ringing endorsement - is at the centre of rumours. The bank, with assets of €16bn, had a reputation for offering 100 per cent loans on property, and took equity stakes in many deals. 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
