offsite link The Threat to Democracy Wed Jul 24, 2024 11:29 | James Alexander
'Populists' like Donald Trump and Nigel Farage are a "threat to democracy", chant the mainstream media. In fact, they are just reminding our politicians what they are supposed to be doing, says Prof James Alexander.

If you wondered where the MSM get all their lurid stories attributing 'extreme weather' to climate change, look no further than a new job ad for a "researcher" focused on creating alarmist propaganda, says Chris Morrison.

Porsche has scrapped its sales targets for EVs amid a slump in demand. A previous goal of 80% by 2030 has been watered down and the company now says sales will depend on uptake and how the technology develops.

Who is really progressive in Northern Ireland?

category national | anti-capitalism | other press author Thursday May 22, 2008 18:43author by Johannes Wilmauthor email j at indymedia dot noauthor address Calle de las Poetas, Calle Central, León, Nicaraguaauthor phone +5059173717 Report this post to the editors

On a recent trip to Belfast/Northern Ireland I wanted to find out who is really to be accepted as being a progressive force up there. The Left has generally supported those pro-catholics, who are working for a united Ireland as a part of a national liberation struggle from London rule. I decided to interview representatives of progressive parties on either side on the issues that socialists should really care about -- social issues -- to see how different they really are in their day-to-day politics in these current times of peace.

So far I've written the first two parts -- interviews with Paul Maskey of Sinn Fein ( http://johanneswilm.org/index.php/item/155 ) and Hugh Smyth of the Progressive Unionist Party ( http://johanneswilm.org/index.php/item/152 ). You can go read the interviews for yourself, but so far no conclusion has been drawn.

That will happen tomorrow, in my third installment on Northern Irish politics, on http://www.johanneswilm.org.
