The sweeping House of Commons reforms proposed by Green MP Ellie Chowns are evidence that the Mrs Dutt-Pauker types have moved from Peter Simple's columns into public life. We're in for a bumpy ride, says Sean Walsh.

Debt-Funded GB Energy to Bet on the Costliest Electricity Generation Technologies Sat Jul 27, 2024 15:00 | David Turver
So much for Labour's pledge to cut energy bills by £300, says David Turver. Under GB Energy, our bills can only go one way, and that is up.

Jump To Comment: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11As I said back when the SWP were doing it :), since the whole paper is one the web now, you should post the index page with the summaries and links to the individual articles, rather than posting them all up one by one.
You apostate!
Even though I'm not an anarchist, the WSM are alright. SWP on the other hand...
As an experiment I'm posting the articles that are Irish news that has not received much coverage on indymedia here. I'm not posting the more 'what is anarchism' type stuff or the international stuff. I'd reckon a similar selective posting from the other left press would make sense in terms of expanding the range of issues being covered.
The editoral guidelines at http://www.indymedia.ie/about/editorial.php don't really have anything to say one way or another on this. However I recognise these don't reflect all the editoral practise, perhaps it might be an idea to have an expanded set of guidelines for this?
Anyway I'll follow whatever feedback there is on this, so if you have an opinion make it heard.
A kind of digest of links of newly published stuff - such as the one sent out by e-mail about struggle site would be good. IMC in my humble personal opinion should be an collection point and outlet for as much good Irish originated politically inclined journalism and opinion as possible.
It would be good to see digests of newly published stuff from Voice / SWP Paper / An Phoblacht / The Blanket etc etc appearing here on the wire and whether or not they do at present - the ed guidelines should accomodate this.
Interesting and detailed debates (as opposed to debates wrecked by our resident tourettes inflicted trolls) which flesh out such articles and give a range of points of view on the contents have a habit of appearing here which is good. Links - when stuff is already published are preferable to cut and paste jobs though.
It means that an extra effort has to be made by the publisher to communicate why this is a topic of interest to the wider audience that might never go near their in-house journal.
It makes it clear that this is material published at another source (the WSM website) which means that those with an allergy to the WSM can avoid it, and those that don't have any feelings about the group but are interested in the topic are directed to the horse's mouth.
Everyone wins.
"Even though I'm not an anarchist, the WSM are alright. SWP on the other hand..."
Says it all really doesn't it.
Socialists bad, anarchists good.
The article itself is quite good. Does anyone know if CIE are definatley going to dock the workers' pay for the free-fare-all day? Btw, free fares are fucking sweet. Did anyone else notice how much quicker busses went cos people didn't have to line up with cars/money? Now if we could only get proper bus lanes eh?
Also, can anyone tell me what exactly happened in Harcourt St yesterday? I kept missing the news.
Finally, if it's allowed by the guidelines, I will post up summaries and links etc anytime the Voice goes online. I think it would be good if all the groups did this. And someone can post up all the best articles from the Weekly Worker!

I still haven't found a reliable publication to update ye all on the O.W.F.G.R.C. from the L.A.C.G.C. but as soon as I do, I shall link as well.
should say -*cards/money*- not cars/money
We had a debate about this, oh, about six months back, maybe more. What we don't want are simple announcements that X paper is for sale, because that's just an advertisement. Nor do we want each of the articles from a paper to be posted up one after another, each as a separate article. But a digest of the contents of each issue as it is published, with links to the full stories, would be good. That goes equally for Workers Solidarity, The Voice, Socialist Worker, Red Banner, APRN, and anything else I've left off.
As far as I'm concerned, this doesn't apply to the Weekly Worker, since its a British paper, that covers events in Britain, not Ireland. A weekly digest of the WW would be as unwelcome as a weekly digest of the British Socialist Worker, the American Anarchy: A Journal of Desire Armed, whatever the Australian DSM's paper is, etc, etc, etc. The place for a Weekly Worker digest is indymedia uk, not IMC Ireland.
Also, I did say I'd put up summaries and links, not whole articles
