President Sarkozy who in asking for the release of Ms Ingrid Betancourt from captivity made a remark that shows his incredible lack of diplomacy and was probably why his spouse led the march for her release in Paris today. He said that if she dies then FARC will be 'responsible for the death of a woman'. Many government leaders are so responsible, but to use the media to allow such a statement travel like a virus through our world was badly judged and dangerous. Ms Betancourt has endured six years of separation from her mother and her children and is unwell, being on hunger strike. Everyone wants Ingrid freed. http://www.indymedia.ie/article/76817#comment215048 ... read full story / add a comment

Topics might include politics, work, history, culture, war, a bit of theory, some sex, some drugs, some music and frequent tubthumping for the free association of producers. ... read full story / add a comment

On the evening of the second of April there was a celebration of International Women's Day at the Unitarian Church at St Stephen's Green. Bertie had Just quit and as Jennifer Johnson noted there were a lot of 'drums', those of FF beating a retreat and of FG beating a tattoo. Medbh Mc Guckian referred to the fact that in Northern Ireland women can now buy 6,000 Euro handbags, but quality of life had not improved at all for many. But is was not all politics, it was about poetry and song. http://www.indymedia.ie/article/86960 ... read full story / add a comment

Like many sophisticated freethinkers & well honed intellectually rigorous atheists or agnostics, I've gone far past the stage of being fed up with the Capitalist system obliging me to holidays on the 25th of December, Easter, 17th of March & so on all the bloody year. I want to work 28 days straight and save up my "Sabbath" days & add them on to my statutory entitlements. I'm sick of being exploited by tourist agencies by a macro-cultural I'm sure most clever people like me, foam at the mouth of. ... read full story / add a comment

The PKK were included in 2002 on the list of terrorist organisations held by the EU. It's a long list. But the decision has now been anulled by the second highest judicial bench in Europe which sits in Luxembourg. There are complex (as always) reasons for this. Without going into it too much, & thus distracting you from reading the judgement in its entirety, I'd just mention the non-desirability of seeing a post-US occupied Iraq divided between Turkey and Iran after the former argued they were containing the PKK terrorists. ... read full story / add a comment
