"This weekend’s Irish Medical Organisation annual general meeting will give members an opportunity to vent their frustration with the Fianna Fáil/ Progressive Democrat government, which has failed to deliver the badly-needed reforms promised in the health reform programme. The new Minister for Health, Mary Harney, no doubt, will tell delegates that progress has been made on a number of key issues. But this will not be enough for the GPs, consultants, NCHDs and public health doctors, who know from first-hand experience that the health service continues to be under-resourced and badly managed." the words of the Irish Medical Times an online organ which voices opinion of the Irish Medical Organisation. read full story / add a comment

I'm a chess fan, its been two years since I left a comment on the Almuajaha "iraqi witness" Baghdad independent media site which I'm quite proud of - "Do not play chess unless you see checkmate". So I thought to share with you news of two Chess Grand Masters who are in the news at this time for well doing and saying stuff on the dirty game of knaves which is politics. read full story / add a comment

This week the minster of Justice, Michael mc Dowell addressed the Garda Siochana (his police force) on several issues. Improvements to their housing. What he terms "SF/IRA" criminality with very special references made to two events outside the jurisdiction of his department in Northern Ireland of the UK. And reminded everyone that he supports the GFA (to wash hands of ethnicity issues and crucify the Christ). Meanwhile the local "experts" on the Good Friday thing had earlier the same Dail holiday weekend spoken out against his policies. He made no reference to either speed lasers or the deportation of a young black chap in his school uniform to Nigeria last week. read full story / add a comment

On the 11th of March, those Irish citizens of counties Meath and North Kildare were called to vote in a secret ballot, as is their right for living in a tippy toppy emergent democracy, regardless of Ethnic origin, Religious Creed, Social Economic class, or Gender. ( but only if they actually live there, and pay or don't pay tax there, as the tippy toppy emergent democracy of Eire doesn't afford its citizens postal votes.) Out they came in their handfuls. Leaping over the primroses and daffodils, pushing aside the lobbying publicans to exercise the rights so sorely won and desperately needed in far off places. read full story / add a comment

The news that a 16 year old girl has succeeded in a case she started at the age of 14 against her school for limiting her interpretation of Islamic dress, has won at the British courts represented by no less a QC than Mrs Cherie Blair, is being hailed by the party who have done more to stoke islamaphobia than any other, as a victory for civil rights. This young girl has said she has given "hope to muslim women". Meanwhile, her QC's husband continues to push un-neccesary legislation which flagrantly abuses the ancient liberties at the heart of the British legal system. read full story / add a comment

Democracy does not spring up out of the ground. The rights to equal suffrage regardless of socio-economic class, gender, or creed in a secret ballot are European rights. They have rooted in the arguments of Greek sychophants and intellectuals, who never allowed their wives, concubines, slaves or migrants the same rights. They have roots in the declaration of the rights of man of the French Revolution. read full story / add a comment

Microfinance is about giving small loans (generally upto 5000€) with as little interest as possible (ought to be none) to poor people so they can set up commercial or agricultural concerns. It's very important for 3rd world agriculture and has played a pivotal role in conflict resolutions in the Balkans and Africa. It's not quite "anti-capitalism", rather it is one of the tools of the system as it exists which can be better used to alleviate in the short term the suffering and under-development of the majority of humanity. read full story / add a comment

# diphtheria, tetanus, and pertussis (whooping cough) measles, tuberculosis, and polio. These are the illnesses you ought to have been immunised against as a child or as a teenager if you're female. With the exception of tuberculosis these desiese are now controlled in the developed world. TB is returning and TB treatment centres are found in most eastern US cities and many European cities. I'll write about the new forms of TB in the fourth of this series. # hepatitis B # Hib # yellow fever are desieses against which many millions of children in the non developed world need vaccines. Yesterday, the Gates foundation gave 750 million$ to GAVI the global vaccine alliance. The donation was immediately supported by the state of Norway which gave $290 million, and this morning the UK has committed a further 750mil$ (=£400m) . These are comitments of annual support until the year 2015. read full story / add a comment

Pius XII was pontiff, bishop of rome, secular head of the Roman Catholic Church, pope, head of the Holy See, and as such signed the diplomatic agreement with Mussolini ending a very long conflict over the territorial integrity of the Vatican and establishing it as a state, and as Pope did not call attention to the Shoah. Pius XII is currently being discussed for canonization by which he would be declared a Saint. read full story / add a comment
