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.

Yet again the Government has shown itself limited by the market push of the EU and the FDA
with regard to choice in health care and diet. The FDA and EU had worked on an operating system,
which cost millons where the net result is the coloured bar on the end of your ceral box which tells
you the RDA of your food. Its the 'buy it bulk and sell it back at profit' school of thought which brought
the ban on St John's Wort and the envisaged ban on Tea Tree Oil. In translation it just means that
in exchange for the profit of the Multi's we get treated like kids with regard to Choice!

As the war drums begin their deadly tattoo we must realise that my enemies enemy is not my friend. Herewith is an article by Comrade Sunsara Taylor which deals with the complex question of Iran. Bob Avakian, Chairman of the RCP,USA

As the U.S.'s crimes against humanity in the Middle East mount, it is of tremendous importance for people in the U.S. to honestly confront and rise to the profound responsibilities before us in bringing this to a halt. In this spirit, I welcomed the argument made by Thier and Hess in the Socialist Worker on April 20, 2007 entitled “Standing up to Islamophobia,” while I find their central arguments to be wrong & harmful.I do not doubt that they wish to oppose U.S. wars of aggression and their accompanying assault on Muslims, Arabs and South Asians living in the U. S. But they end up arguing for an approach that will neither meet the actual challenges of opposing the U.S. “crusade,” nor bring forward truly liberating possibilities here and around the world. read full story / add a comment

Last week we all watched as the titular head of the Irish justice Department actively
deported a six year old autistic boy, along with his twin sister and his mother. They
were put on a commercial flight to Lagos, late at night and given enough cash for
an hotel. In the last day a Mexican woman who had sought refuge for 12 months
in a church and had become the voice of economic migrants and illegals in the
US was picked up and deported to Tijuana, leaving behind her, her eight year old
boy Saul.

Elvira Arellano has vowed to continue her fight from the other side of the border.
If we look at the newswire the overwhelming amount of these cases have involved
women and children. No surprises there, they are slower and easier to catch. read full story / add a comment

The Irish Government is building a four-lane motorway only 1 km from the main site of The Hill of Tara however the whole land around the main hill is of archeological interest, historical interest and spiritual interest. In July 2007 bulldozers came in the middle of the night (possibly to avoid the protestors, speculation but I can't see any excuse for using bulldozers in the middle of the night) destroying an ancient burial ground at Baronstown in the Tara-Skryne valley. Independent archaeologists claimed this site was of national monument status! The site was entirely devastated. read full story / add a comment
