The Truth About Britain?s Wildfires Thu Aug 21, 2025 15:00 | Paul Homewood
It is simplistic to blame the recent spike in wildfires on climate change, writes Paul Homewood. A more likely cause is the rewilding of uplands, supposedly to cut carbon emissions, and poor management of forested land.

The Guardian, of all papers, has acknowledged that predictions about the disappearance of Arctic sea ice may ? just may ? have been exaggerated. Paging Gore Vidal: Can we have that prize back please?

As Director of Public Prosecutions, Keir Starmer urged restraint when it came to prosecuting people for social media posts. Why, then, was the book thrown at Lucy Connolly?

Bosses want to privatise buses and trains
The FF/PD coalition are pushing ahead with plans to privatise buses and trains. Should we worry, does it matter who the boss is?
The consequences of transport privatisation
More cars on the road means more road building, more road repairs, more traffic jams and more air pollution.
What is Imperialism
Imperialism is the process whereby powerful groups try to extend their power and increase their wealth by bringing ever more of the world under their domination. Although the word comes to us from Roman times, imperialism has been around for a lot longer?
Iraq war aftermath - Slaughtering democracy

Direct Action is next step for the Anti-Bin Tax campaign
We must send out the message that we intend for every truck to pick up all the rubbish on their bin run. The Council must understand this, and the government must understand it. If non-collection is attempted, trucks will be blockaded into our estates until everyone's bin is emptied.
Anti-Bin Tax = tax dodger?
The politicians the big farmers and the bosses don't hold back when it comes to defending their interests. We should do the same, and no better way to start than by telling them to stuff their bin tax.
Coca Cola Boycotted for (complicity in) Murder
Members of the Latin America Solidarity Centre and other individuals are working to promote the boycott and to raise awareness of this issue in Ireland
Argentina- a living laboratory of struggle
The popular movement in Argentina has not been defeated. The newly elected president will go on the offensive with all the powers at his disposal. However the assemblies, occupied factories and Piquettes will resist and may even experience a new growth.
Grassroots Gathering 5 - the birth of a movement
We came out of this weekend stronger and will hopefully go on from here so that the growth of the Grassroots movement continues. The next GG goes West, Galway in the Autumn
That's Capitalism
Money markets, Guantnamo Bay and Mary Harney
Disco Disco - occupied and evicted
Activists of Autonomous Community Spaces (ACS) entered 42 Parnell Square in central Dublin, a building which had been vacant for 11 years. They were violently evicted the following day.

i like the coca cola article espically.
Bloody weirdos, if our so intrested in worker solidarity, why don't you go and live in North Korea, where the ordinary person is starving to death because of the ideals your advocating, while your idelogical peers waste money on a nuclear arms programme.
Why not campaign for the freedom of Tibet against Chinese communist occupation rather then, the american presence in Iraq to free them of an inhumane dictator.
We're anarchists by the way, so we are probably about the biggest opponents of state socialist (or whatever you want to call them) regimes like North Korea. Also, when the chinese president visited dublin we were outside dublin castle protesting and even tried to block the road. I don't remember seeing you there. Maybe you are too blinkered to see it, but we don't just protest against America, we protest at the abuses of the powerful wherever they come from, it just happens that the US government has a lot of power at the moment and therefore tends to abuse it.
Also, you probably can't see how stupid your 'why don't you all go off to korea line' is. Surely you think that our "democratic way of life" is much better than the Korean system. One of the features of this supposed democracy is that people are free to disagree and attempt to persuade others to change things. By telling people who disagree to decamp to Korea, you're actually wishing that our country was run like Korea, with no room for dissenting voices. Sadly I'd say you miss this subtle irony.
his "Bloody weirdos" introduction more or less gave it away. C
