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.

Some socialists would claim that Iran is goverened by a radical anti-Imperialist regime. However the way Iran treats asylum seekers shows that the Iranian government is just as racist as the US when it comes to immigration. The article below was written by a member of the Communist Party of Iran (MLM).

A campaign to kick out Afghan refugees in Iran is continuing unabated. Between late April and late June, the Islamic Republic of Iran rounded up more than 100,000 Afghans working in Iran and dumped them on the other side of the border.

Supporters of the Shell to Sea campaign made sure to give Taoiseach Bertie Ahern up to date information when they were leafleting the crowd attending the 2007 Leinster Final at Croke Park yesterday.

Protesters against Shell's scheme in Mayo have been beaten and imprisoned, and many people believe Shell can do what they like because of the deal they made with corrupt Fianna Fáil Minister, Ray Burke. Bertie Ahern was a close colleague of Burke's at the time. read full story / add a comment

A ship that served on the US / British naval taskforce in the Persian Gulf during the invasion of Iraq visited "neutral" Cork Harbour at the weekend. Once again Irish neutrality was breached shamelessly. Rumour has it that more visits to Cork Harbour are likely in advance of next year's 70th anniversary of the 1938 handing over of the "Treaty Ports". Looks like we've effectively handed them back. read full story / add a comment
