A very timely and useful analysis of how Sinn Fein policy has moved significantly to the right in relation to the EU has appeared in the current edition of the Socialist Voice. It looks at how the party is now heading towards the right on the EU and that drift to the right is not an accident and will not end there. This has implications for republicans and socialists in this country and for all Irish people especially with the projected increases in SF support in the national elections next week. read full story / add a comment

The struggle spreads to Iran. The workers will topple the Dictatorship. This is by Hamid Azar, from ‘Offensiv’, weekly paper of Rättvisepartiet Socialisterna (CWI Sweden). The 25 Bahman (14 February) was a day of revolt in Iran. Hundreds of thousands protested in Tehran and in other cities. They shouted, "Down with dictatorship!" and "After Ben Ali, now Sayed Ali [Khamenei]!" Almost 50,000 people responded to a call on Facebook to support the protests. The official opposition leaders, Mehdi Karroubi and Mirhossein Mousavi, in a letter to the Minister of Interior sent earlier sought approval for a demonstration in support of the revolution in Egypt. read full story / add a comment

17 February 2011 Channel 4’s Dispatches: Lessons in Hate and Violence on Islamic schools in Britain confirms the urgency of addressing the question of faith schools. Whilst the teachings of hatred in these schools are not surprising, it is nothing short of scandalous that vulnerable children are left to the mercy of Islamists despite years of evidence of abuse and violations of child safety and protection rules. read full story / add a comment

SIPTU members at the Davenport Hotel in Dublin mounted pickets this morning after being taken off the roster for refusing to sign new contracts reducing their national minimum wage rate by almost €1 an hour. When the legislation was being passed, the Minister for Finance, Brian Lenihan, gave assurances that existing employees of companies on €8.65 an hour could not have it reduced without their consent. However, the workers concerned, all women from Eastern Europe, have been brought into three meetings over the past three weeks and repeatedly told they must sign the new contracts or face being taken off the roster. They were not given a copy of the new contract, either in English or in their own languages. *For further information contact: *SIPTU Sector Organiser, Pat Ward; 087 228 348 *Padraig Yeates, PYE Communications; 087 260 5297 read full story / add a comment

Fine Gael are to repeal the Ward Union hunt ban legislation should they get into government, which looks increasingly likely. However, we’re not letting this distressing news go unnoticed, and, we certainly won’t take this news lying down without fighting the animals’ corner. We’re going to ensure the ban stays in place, but we can’t do it alone. read full story / add a comment |
