Anarchists Condemn G8 Scaremongering - press release Date: Wed, 2013-05-22 09:37 In response to yesterday’s Irish News (Mon 20 May 2013) front page article, “Police to Occupy hundreds of vacant premises in Belfast during G8”, the Workers Solidarity Movement condemned security forces scaremongering in the media. A spokesperson for the All-Ireland anarchist organisation said: “These kind of absurd and over-the-top scare stories are aimed not so much at intimidating anarchists, but the concerned citizens, trade unionists and others wanting to show their opposition to the offensive waste of money on this pointless G8 charade. read full story / add a comment

Sun newspaper, Wed May 22 2013: There is still [a British] appetite to influence world affairs. UK troops are supporting operations in Mali and Somalia and are on stand-by to aid the government in Libya. During his two-day trip, Mr Hammond congratulated Brits at Koulikoro base, who are deployed with Irish troops for the first time since 1922. He said the Queen’s 2011 trip to Ireland brought a change in Anglo-Irish relations. Sgt Gerry Setright, 49, of the Irish Defence Forces, said of working with the Brits: “It’s been a pleasure. We are closer than people think.” Read more: http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/news/campaigns/our...aRMDs read full story / add a comment

Apple claim to have negotiated an agreement with the Irish government whereby they paid 2% tax or less. In this time of deep austerity, it's time to kick out these US tax dodgers and instead focus on giving support to indigenous small businesses. read full story / add a comment

The amount of money used to bail out failed banks would have ended world hunger for 50 years. This is the world presided over by G8 leaders who meet every year to co-ordinate how to continue failed policies which favour the 'have yachts' over the 'have nots'. We say 'Another World is Possible' and over five days in June our Festival of Ideas hopes to challenge and inspire those who want to fight for it.

Film description follows : " A TV network cynically exploits a deranged ex-TV anchor's ravings and revelations about the media for their own profit. In the 1970s, terrorist violence is the stuff of networks' nightly news programming and the corporate structure of the UBS Television Network is changing. Meanwhile, Howard Beale, the aging UBS news anchor, has lost his once strong ratings share and so the network fires him. Beale reacts in an unexpected way. We then see how this affects the fortunes of Beale, his coworkers (Max Schumacher and Diana Christensen), and the network. read full story / add a comment

First of all i would like to introduce a misson as to what direct democracy would like to achieve: What is direct democracy? Direct democracy is a form of democracy in which the people have the right to: Select their own candidates to represent them. Call a referendum on any topic if a sufficient number of people deem it necessary, by gathering a set number of signatures. Create legislation and put it to a referendum if a sufficient number of people agree with it, by gathering a set number of signatures. Recall, remove from office, any representative deemed to have acted in breach of their terms of employment. read full story / add a comment |
