The couple who filmed 'Sophie of Dundee' as she brandished a knife and axe, seemingly in self-defence, have been charged by police. Shame on the centrist commentators who piled on her, says Laurie Wastell.

Octopus CEO Greg Jackson has blamed Ed Miliband's "broken energy system" for Britain's sky-high energy costs. Too right, says Paul Homewood. So why does he still back renewables?

One pub is closing every day. And Labour's 'banter ban' ? Clause 20 of the Employment Rights Bill ? is only going to make it worse as pubs are left with the escalating bills to cover their legal costs.

Never Mind the Eurovision.......heres Willie Corduff

Galway City Council Congratulates Willie.

Yesterdays meeting of Galway City Council did not dwell on Ireland’s Eurovision defeat, instead the Council chose to recognise a recent Irish triumph. Members of the council congratulated Willie Corduff of the Rossport Five on his receipt of the Goldman Prize for the Environment.


Willie was selected as the European winner of the €93,000 Goldman prize as a result of his campaigning work to highlight the problems with the proposed Corrib Gas Project in his native Erris peninsula. Cllr Catherine Connolly who raised the issue explained that this award is the highest accolade available to environmental activists in the world and is recognised by the heads of state of over 100 countries worldwide.
Willie was feted by the Irish American community and members of the US Government when he travelled to San Francisco last month to collect his award. In contrast to the other six award winners no member of the Irish Government accompanied Willie to the awards. In fact no sitting member of the national Government has seen fit to recognise this unique achievement. Galway’s support for our Mayo neighbours may not be so evident in next weekends sporting fixtures!
