It's not CO2 that drives the climate, says astrophysicist Dr Henrik Svensmark. Its the Sun and cosmic rays. But you won't hear about this because only one viewpoint is now allowed in the pseudo-science of climate.

Off with their Balls.

Today's Sunday Independent has suggested that Global NeoNazi hero, Michael Mc Dowell of the PDs

the current Minister of Justice has spoken of reassuring rank and file members of the Garda Siochana that the force will not be emasculated.

why not?

The Gardai are very unusual in modern day Europe that they are not subject to an independent inquiry board.

There is no properly empowered and independent ombusdman office to deal with Police complaints.

There is no redress for members of the public who are constantly harassed by the Police.

the article (which like many sunday pieces is a kite flying exercise which signals forthcoming Summer backroom deals on the subject) may be read at-
http://unison.ie/irish_independent/stories.php3?ca=44&si=1217550&issue_id=11159

Interestingly one senior Garda Figure is quoted as saying:-

"There is a new culture in the gardai whether they like it or not," "There is little or no sense of vocation left in the force. In these days of the 'Celtic Tiger' it is all about remuneration."

Indeed. That's what the Celtic Tiger is about.
There are no vocations left in ireland full stop.
And the modern Police force offers those of a fascist mindset impunity, scary clothing and the odd occasion to scare the shit out of Donegal residents.
