Yes, you read that headline correctly!

In a brilliant strike at the never ending hypocrisy of the US government, the new left wing President Rafael Correa of Ecuador said Washington must let him open a military base in Miami if the United States wants to keep using an air base on Ecuador's Pacific coast.

The existing lease on the current US base in Ecuador expires in 2009. Now that this call has been made, the US govt will no doubt work hard to have him removed by then, as the base can surely be used for no other purposes than for their own self corporate interest. read full story / add a comment

I signed up to BT broadband over two months ago. Not only did the hook up the wrong house, but they billed me for it, insisted nothing wrong happened, and are dawdling over my
What's worse, their call centre takes ages to do anything, not surprising, given that one of their agents admitted to me that there were only 10 people working there the day I spoke to her, when the staffing level is supposed to be 60. Anyhow, sick of waiting for the always promised call back, I went hunting for the bigger fish. read full story / add a comment

Our sports are tribal with The Rebel County being one that comes to mind but our constituency
boundaries are being changed and the geographers along with the Political commentators
have begun questioning the wisdoms of the Reform Commission. I have garnered Little
except that Dun Laoighre is to lose a seat and areas of Limerick will be moved into a
Kerry North Constituency, which to honest sounds confusing. There is a big constituency to be
created in the North Western Region and Leitrim is effected, according to the I.T commentator
Leitrim will not return a TD. read full story / add a comment

Michele Fabiani, 20 yrs, Andrea Di Nucci, 20yrs, Dario Polinori, 21yrs, Damiano Corrias, 25yrs, and Fabrizio Reali Roscini, at 42 years of age have become the latest people described by Italian commercial media as "linked to the Federazione anarchica informale" to be arrested under article 270 (b) of the Italian criminal code. That's the one that makes it illegal to organise a group for national or international terrorist acts and the subversion of the democratic order.

At first glance we're talking about 2 young women and 2 young men & one 42 year old. Maybe the auld-fellah uses mosturiser. Though I doubt it, but at that first glance we might presume on the scant data available at the moment that he'll be termed a "ringleader" of this "informal anarchist federation group". But since I myself (who has never used mosturiser) am closer in years too 42 than 20 - I suggest this story be considered as an update on the ongoing oppression of social movements & black block anti-system types in Italy.

The Iraq Freedom Congress rejects the right of the US Senate to decide the destiny of the Iraqi nation. The IFC also make their own case against partition.

The United States Senate have adopted a resolution in which partitioning of Iraq to regional federalism is proposed. This decision comes after more than four years of virtually dividing Iraq (legally, constitutionally and politically) to wards. Since the occupation of Iraq; the Governing Council and all successive governments were established based on sectarianism and ethnicity after enacting a constitution that paved the way for this division. What is taking place today, such as the conflict at the highest level of the political power in Iraq and the killing of thousands of innocent people by militia groups who are wrestling among each other throughout the recent years, is a clear expression of each group's intention to obtain a greater share of power, influence and wealth based on the aforementioned division. read full story / add a comment

After many days fighting a lone battle to defend the education system. Classroom assistants took the magnanamous step to suspend their highly successful strike action to allow management to finally engage in meaningful negotiations. If anyone took this to be a climb down or retreat they were very much mistaken. As the negotiations reach a critical stage the message is loud and clear. "Settle this now or face more of the same" NIPSA's classroom assistant's call on every decent trade unionist to show solidarity with them in their time of struggle. They are fighting not only to maintain but to improve the standard of education for all children in this provence. If they are forced back onto the picket lines do not desert them to fight alone!

To commemorate the Night of the Dead,
when the windows between this world and the next are torn off their hinges
and all kinds of malicious spirits wander the earth in search of mortal prey,
and the victims they seek awaken in the chilly sweat of fear
and cling desperately to their Rosary beads, their Korans, their stethoscopes
or whatever other talismans they can lay their trembling hands on,
and feverishly mutter whatever prayers and incantations to protect them ... read full story / add a comment

Ireland granted residency to about 17,000 parents of Irish born Children mostly women and then decided that these category of Irish Citizen Children do not have any entitlement to family unification and so we have a situation where the fathers of these children are being turned away. What we risk creating for our future generation is what I dread because this policy if not reversed will only polarise the community and we will have the "us" and "them" divide. read full story / add a comment
