Britain's North Sea could have 14 billion barrels of oil and gas ? three times what the Government reckons ? but sky-high taxes and drilling bans are leaving it in the ground while jobs and cash go begging.

The Met Office might struggle to predict the weather, but it seems staff can always count on a downpour of cash: they walked away with record bonus payments of ?8.1 million last year and ?31.5 million over five years.

Now he's dead, the truth about Purple Aki can finally be said, says Steven Tucker. A forerunner of all the sex-offending migrants that judges make excuses for, he targeted children in Liverpool for decades.

Garda Harrasment against Fortress-Europe protesters continues

category national | summit mobilisations | news report author Thursday April 29, 2004 03:52author by concerned citizen of the fortress Report this post to the editors

02.14.am

2 Men have just been released after being detained by the Irish gardai for about 2 hours.
They were lifted on Dame st outside the central bank at about midnight.

Brendan Flanagan, the officer in charge of Pearse St Station, confirmed that the men were detained while their details were being verified. The situation is really problematic as both men had passports and bank cards which they had produced on request while still on Dame St.

This leads one to believe that the 2 men were detained as part of ongoing garda harrasment and intimidation against anti-fortress-eu protesters.
The irony is that it is this very type of curbing of civil liberties that people are protesting against.

OK so they were picked up by the gards and then released - what were the circumstances leading up to this?

Man goes into a hardware shop to buy some spray paint. Next thing he's being strip searched in Store street Gardai station and questioned for 6 hours.
