offsite link The Right vs the Woke State Mon Dec 30, 2024 19:00 | Richard Eldred
How should conservatives approach our woke institutions? Why, as all of public life has become politicised, is Parliament itself increasingly toothless? Watch Niall Gooch on all that and more.

"Data is the absolute truth," said Nigel Farage recently. "Oh Nige," says Joanna Gray, "don?t be so gullible." Data is like the kitchen drawer: an incoherent mass of things that seemed useful. What we need are principles.

offsite link Asymptomatic Spread is Still a Myth Mon Dec 30, 2024 13:00 | Dr Clare Craig
In 2020 anyone claiming Covid was like influenza was branded a conspiracy theorist. Yet now we hear demands for masks and social distancing for flu. But asymptomatic spread is a myth for flu as well, says Dr Clare Craig.

offsite link ?Green? Scottish Ferry Emits Far More CO2 Than Old Diesel Ship Mon Dec 30, 2024 11:11 | Will Jones
The CO2 emissions of a long-delayed and over-budget 'green' Scottish ferry will be far larger than that of the old diesel ship it is set to replace. Once again the benefits of a 'green' technology are hugely oversold.

Sinn Féin: Limerick Regeneration Boards being Obstructed

Housing estates abandoned by City Council

ATTEMPTS by some members of Limerick City Council to place obstacles in the way of the new regeneration boards must be condemned, a spokesman for Republican Sinn Féin said this week.

ATTEMPTS by some members of Limerick City Council to place obstacles in the way of the new regeneration boards must be condemned, a spokesman for Republican Sinn Féin said this week.

Joe Lynch from Ballinacurra Weston, a member of an advisory committee working with the regeneration board in the Southside of Limerick, said that while some city councillors are complaining about a lack of information the reality is that the city council abandoned many housing estates down the years.

"It is now the highest form of hypocrisy for these councillors to criticise the regeneration boards when it is the city council that failed the residents of the Troubled estates.

"For 50 years they turned its back on the problems of the estates and allowed anti-social and criminal behaviour to drive decent people out of their homes.

"The fact that the city council does not control the regeneration boards seems to be a complaint, but the boards are dealing directly with the affected residents and this is a new departure in Limerick and it must be welcomed.

"These councillors, instead of complaining about their roles being diminished, would be better off to consult with the people they abandoned in the housing estates. Then they may gain some standing in the local community”.

Today I heard some Bishop on the news talking about how the youth of Ireland need to turn away from drink, drugs and violence. But he never mentioned that when the average youth is so excluded from real participation in the economy then, naturally, he is going to chanel his energies elsewhere. In general the churches are not bad at pointing out the economic injustice in Ireland - but they never take their words to their logical conclusion. Its not really about getting the gombeens to give a little bit back to the people, its about the people taking power in their own hands. The churches are afraid of that, and we see above, so are the gombeen men on Limerick county council.
