A new Nature paper claims to pin liability for 'climate damages' on oil companies so they can be sued in court. This escalation in the climate wars is scientifically bogus and economically disastrous, says Dr Tilak Doshi.

The Sugar Tax Sums Up Our Descent into Technocratic Dystopia Thu May 08, 2025 19:00 | Dr David McGrogan
The sugar tax sums up Britain's descent into a technocratic dystopia, says Dr David McGrogan. While our Government does almost nothing well, it remains a world-leader in passive-aggressive, surreptitious nudging.

I'm not in favour of the kind of government Castro runs, but still, I wouldn't run them into the ground without some proper evidence to back it up. I don't think a few photographs are adequate for this - if you saw a few photos of people shot in gang feuds in Limerick, would you say that Ireland is overrun with gangs and no one is safe?
By the way, is there actually such thing as a Stalinist any more?
you're probably not from dublin then, the problem here is we actually don't even get beds here, look at any irish newspapers over the last few days.
"So, question is - which healthcare system would you prefer? Cuba's or Nicaragua's? hmmmm?"
Looking at those pictures propably neither. I would rather stay sick home if option is lieing on filthy hospital bed covered with my own piss and shit.
However you completely missed my point, which was that these pictures indisputably proves all claims made by Cuban government and their stalinists puppets in west being are lies and propaganda. In reality Cuban "healt care" system is big failure, just like their political system is.
you are comparing a central american system with the north, try like with like. A hospital in El Salvador? Guetamala? or how about any north dublin a and e department?
all probably true and worthy to note.
but saying a third world country's healthcare system is not upto the standards of the first world is nothing too shocking is it?
But let's ask the CIA how Cuba stands up to the US of A....

if you would really like to compare and contrast - go see what the CIA says about Nicaragua - a country that knows what it is like to live totally under US domination and on the 'cutting edge' of Neo-Liberal economics.....
