If Lucy Connolly was jailed for stirring up racial hatred, the same must go for BBC Director General Tim Davie, says Nick Rendell. Davie personally took the decision to broadcast Bob Vylan's antisemitic chant to millions.

Even if you're a Londoner, you probably didn?t notice that June 21st-29th was 'London Climate Action Week'. It was all talk, says Ben Pile ? exceptionally dull talk, bankrolled by the usual Green Blob billionaires.

As Wimbledon gets underway, its SW19 neighbours have to put up with a lot, from encroaching development to security checks to get home. Yet, unlike 1,000 refugees, they're shut out from the tennis, says Jo-Anne Nadler.

Willie O'Dea, and the band of lawless thugs he is a part of, is a far greater threat to Ireland than Mr. Choudary. If Syria, Iran, or whatever country is next on the list, does decide to preempt a Western attack, Shannon Warport is a most obvious target.
The general feeling among judges who've spoken about ploughshares actions at the airport since 2002 is that far greater damage must be done if the military traffic through Ireland is to be really halted. That such action would greatly increase the risk of hurting or killing people in the process is obvious.
Non-state actors, either acting indirectly in the service of those states, or out of a perceived duty to God, to humanity, or whatever, might aim for Dublin instead. That's where the decision was made to depart from Ireland's tradition of neutrality, and to flagrantly defy the UN Charter on March 20, 2003, when it was voted by Dail Eireann to support the band of international terrorists waging war on Iraq.
If there were any justice, then the FF and PD politicians who voted to support the Iraq war in the greatest way militarily and politically that Ireland could -- every one of them there voted Yes, none so much as abstained -- would be working the night shift at Shannon Warport when the first retaliation from the Middle East hits. I pray that it'll never happen, and that we can change so that there could never be any reason or likelihood for it to happen.
"The use of Shannon Airport as a stopover for US military is to be phased out by April 2008, it was revealed last night.
The Republic's Minister for Transport, Martin Cullen, signed an agreement yesterday with his US counterpart, Norman Mineta, in New York. "
In a report that confuses a couple of stories together, the same paper carries a report about Al qaida bomb threats by Tom Brady etc the day before ?? http://www.belfasttelegraph.co.uk/news/story.jsp?story=668866
I mailed them yesterday to correct the story but it hasn't changed so Im estatic and I've emailed comrade Berite to thank him for being so anti-war and stopping military manouvers via Shannon.
Mr O'Dea said he and many members of the public had been outraged at comments made by Mr Choudary while in Dublin last week to speak at a debate in Trinity College.
Mr Choudary said that allowing the use of Shannon by US troops was not a position of neutrality, and that Ireland would be seen as collaborating with the US. He said that things should change in Ireland, if it wanted to avoid the sort of attacks carried out in London and other places.
Mr O'Dea said the existing legislation could be "calibrated or refined" to deal with issues such as Mr Choudary's remarks He said he did not believe that any such amended legislation would infringe on freedom of speech.
Freedom of speech had to be balanced by security considerations. Mr O'Dea said US forces had been using Shannon for over 50 years and that there had been no change in policy in this regard. He also stressed that Ireland was not part of any military alliance.
"How dare anybody come here to stir up these groups to do something like what happened in Madrid", he said.
The Minister made his comments in the Curragh Camp at a demonstration of hostage rescue and anti-terrorist capabilities by the Army Rangers Wing.
