We're a week away from the most painful Budget in history thanks largely to the eye-watering cost of lockdown. Yet Baroness Hallett says next time the Government must be ready to go harder and faster. This is insanity.

It's bad enough that all UK TV users are forced to fund the BBC via a TV licence. But it's worse than that, says Charlotte Gill: millions of pounds of taxpayers' money are handed to the corporation via backdoor channels.

The leaders are in Lisbon putting little finishing touches to a Treaty to replace Nice II
which the Dutch and French "Scuppered', the last round of negotiations had seen the
Polish and the British Objecting to aspects of the Treaty, Blair was Brown's man in
Europe and was sent back to re-negotiatate.

The 'Lisbon Treaty 'agreed by the EU members seeks to create a new Foreign Policy head
and reduce the cumbersome issue of the rotating presidency, interestingly according to
AFP Tony Blair has been one of the names for mooted a more 'permanent presidential position'.
That being a diplomatic role, he would have to leave off those dinner parties he attends

View Rath Lugh from Lia Fail

It’s a little darker under the trees than the last time I was here and the colors of Autumn have started there march through the leaves at Rath Lugh. This hill here was never put on an ordnance survey map and the name has shifted and been shifted until it now means only a small monument which may soon disappear. It can be seen from everywhere in the valley, it has been here throughout all of Tara’s history yet details about it are sketchy and it appears only briefly in ancients writings. One of the monuments on its roof has been temporary preserved but which one is unsure. This is after years of planning a road around it, destroying a part of it and then trying to protect it. Due to the advance of the M3 everything in the valley has been documented, mapped and numbered except this hill and now its woods, monuments, graves and spring are snared and encircled by a speculator driven, badly planned and unwanted road.

Tony Blair ,the UN’s peace envoy to the Middle-East has issued a stern warning on the rise of Islamo–fascism. Speaking at a charity event in New York last Thursday night Mr Blair addressed the danger Iran posed to peaceful countries in the Middle-east and beyond. He told the audience at the $1000 - a -head dinner that the world faces a situation which he compared to the “ rising tide of fascism in the 1920s”.

Neither you nor I are alphabet soup. We are not numbers. Genetics is not new nor really that literal. One of the two men who presented a molecular modeling of DNA/NDA & got a Nobel prize for it back in 1962 has been suspended from his place of work. It is fitting that since he was one of the "beginners" of "genetics", Dr James Watson had better explain to you the utility of his discovery. He has not passed that test in his last 45 years. His latest assertions that intelligence may be compared between "whomever he thinks he speaks for when he says" := "us" and whatever he means by "black" are being pruned out of what we considered civilised ¡ normal now even though Watson in both his science and comments remains so loyal to 45 years ago. And all his public pilloring is happening just before you get to ask him how smart he thinks orientals are. read full story / add a comment

New York Times :- .........."The Supreme Court has granted two stays of execution and refused to vacate a third in the three weeks since it agreed to hear a challenge to Kentucky’s use of lethal injection. On Thursday, the Georgia Supreme Court became the latest state court to interpret the justices’ actions as a signal to suspend at least some executions. It granted a stay to Jack Alderman, who had been scheduled to die by lethal injection Friday night for murdering his wife 33 years ago. The top criminal court in Texas, a state that accounts for 405 of the 1,099 executions carried out in this country since 1976, has indicated that it will permit no more executions until the Supreme Court rules, sometime next spring..........." read full story / add a comment

The Stop The War Coalition In Britain has refused to accept the affiliations of Hands Off The People Of Iran and Communist Students. Mark Fischer writes on these developments.

The logic of the decision taken on October 12 by the Stop the War Coalition’s officer group to reject the affiliations of Hopi and CS could be pretty drastic.Andrew Murray’s terse email announcing the exclusions made it clear that this is a political decision. He wrote that a “study of statements and articles issued” had convinced the officers that both Hopi and CS are “entirely hostile to the coalition, its policies and its work”. A sub-committee of the STWC leadership, the steering committee, made this decision. It has 11 members, 3 are members of the SWP (Lindsey German, John Rees, Chris Nineham), 2 are members of the Morning Star’s Communist Party of Britain (Andrew Murray and Kate Hudson). This small group runs the STWC on a day-to-day basis and effectively subverts the democracy of the STWC as a whole. read full story / add a comment
