China has cancelled Christmas in Hong Kong this year. Officials have ordered that the usual celebrations be 'toned down'. It's part of a creeping intolerance that leaves churches fearing for the future, says John MacNab.

Last night Mary Harney released a programme to deal with the elderly,
as she is not far off that stage of life herself you would think that
problem solving and a bit of wry humour would inform her obviously
jaundiced world view.

But Progressive liberalism forgets that there is such a thing as family
and community, and the women I have spoken to today are not pleased
with the present government interfering (again) in the privacy of the
family- by dipping into the home (as equity for 'care') ... read full story / add a comment

A consortium of Shell, Statoil, and Marathon do a deal with the government allowing them exclusive exploitation rights to the Corrib gas field, off Mayo. Not only that, but they are allowed to write off their costs against taxes, meaning that the whole project is being funded by the PAYE taxpayer, who will receive nothing, not even lower gas prices. It may sound a bit iffy but there is no garda investigation into possible bribery or corruption.

It is all to easy to get wound up in the festive cheer and hype in the run up to Christmas and while I do no advocate going ‘cold turkey’ (excuse the Pun) on Christmas altogether I do ask everyone as you sit around your table this Christmas spare a thought for republican prisoners who spend yet another Christmas away from home and loved ones.

national / rights, freedoms and repression Monday December 11, 2006 - 16:25 by Ian Greene
Upon reading one of the redtops (tabloids) on the weekend of 3rd Sept 2006 I came across an interesting article by journalist John Mooney. The article led me on to search for a website referred to in the article. The website itself was interesting and gave an indepth background into the case of Michael McKevitt. However, one thing was confirmed to me during my search, that one can be seriously misinformed and mislead by the print media and the redtops in particular. ... read full story / add a comment

The Mail on Sunday returns today to the story the Irish Times and Irish Independent don't want to touch with a forty-foot pole. It is ironic that an Irish edition of a Conservative English newspaper shows more gumption in exposing this scandal than Irish owned newspapers.

See also: http://www.indymedia.ie/article/80012 - for previous Mail coverage of this story and how the Times and Indo have effectively ignored it.

Who are these newspapers protecting? The Fine Gael-Labour coalition of 1973-77, who ran scared from the bombs and instituted a reign of repression and terror against republicans and the (minority) of socialists who stood up to them, that's who. ... read full story / add a comment

This is a small piece of the story of Ireland, taken on its own it is a local issue but it is being echoed right now all across the country and it raises many other issues in its wake; housing, development, local democracy, accountability, sustainability. All important and interesting but to cover all of them would make a long article so this concentrates on just one – Water, because that’s something I’m passionate about and something that is too much taken for granted in this water rich country. I trust that readers are intelligent enough to make the links. ... read full story / add a comment
