The Extreme Weather We?re Experiencing Is Not Man Made, According to the IPCC Sun Jul 28, 2024 07:00 | Mark Ellse
Day-to-day weather, with all its extremes, is "just weather", according to the IPCC. With their authority onside, we can shrug off the BBC's melodramatic climate reports and misinformation, says Mark Ellse.

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.

Yeah the technicians won't like to hear that.
What this statement really means, is that the heat has been too much on fees and they are going to hold off on that and try bring in fees by a different set of tactics.
The idea is that they will basically starve the colleges of funds unless they embrace privatisation methods and will gladly destroy them in order to show 'public' third level education doesn't work and thefore private ones are better -thus back to fees.
It's similar to the tactic they have been using with Dublin Bus. They wanted to sell off the most profitable 25%, allow the rest to run into the ground and then hoped when the chaos unfolded, the public would demand it be privatised.
Indeed, you could argue this is what is has been happening with the health service off the last 20 years. And as the number of people with private health insurance (VHI, Bupa) steadily climbs the system effectively becomes a privatised health service.
It's quite simply the neo-liberal agenda.

The Bushites attack you by poisoning your own Children with their version of History. Ronald Reagan, Dick Cheney, George Bush Sr., and His Assholiness George Warmonger Bush are Heroes in the History Books of Big Business, but Mass Murderers in reality. The War on Terror is a Holy Crusade in the History Books, but a Crime Against Humanity in reality. While Web Blogs attempt to tell the truth, the Corporate Mass Media Fabricates it. Then the History Books Follow their Lead, by teaching it in Schools. And your Children grow up believing many of these Fabricated Lies.
We all are trained as attorneys at law (US style) policemen, A&E doctors, soldiers and know how to fight aliens in a tight corner or indeed exorcise a demon.
However what passes for education at most levels in the affluent states of Europe, is not what generations of thinkers and pedagogues fought against often incredible odds to achieve.
Neither Montessori nor Steiner, neither Rousseau nor Loyola would be pleased with the university system which has opened up in the last fifty years education to those who could afford it, and now most lately thinks to offer places "in the name of opportunity" to those of less well off backgrounds.
This is the yoke of mediocrity and of meritocracy that we have laboured under, which has filled the corporations with executives who have perverted their intelligence to further profit - and profit alone.
The community to which you belong, is not the guilded world of company cars, company conferences of flattery and "leadership", mortgages and competition. It is the world of the air you breathe, the water you drink, the street where you walk.
Your family are not the fellow employees, or narrowly educated and formed specialists who have taken the best creative and scientific product of human millenial genius and reduced them absurdly to kilometres on kilometres of thesis and essays which can not see the wood for the trees.
Your family are your brothers and sisters in humanity. Whom for the most part, have no education beyond primary, have no vaccines, no access to clean water, no place in the avaricious competition which passes for economic progress, and not enough food to concentrate for the day.
You do not need over 60 million qualified lawyers,
You do not need another essay or symposium on James Joyce or another interpretation of what he might have thought he wanted you to think he meant.
You do not need space shuttles or moon bases.
You need to answer very simple questions-
Why have the bee mites gone super aggressive?
Why are toads exploding?
Why do the majority of good boys and girls not get past first grade and the children of the wicked do?
You have as young people simple choices, enter the university educational system, and learn how to "fit in" to this system, and be offered a job in the corporative world, or-
serve your community, rediscover your "patria" but not on narrow nationalist or ethnic or creed grounds. One choice will bring you a car, a mortgage, a pension, and flu and death.
The other will bring you sustainability.
your choice.
