Fifteen Year-Old Swiss Girl Taken into Care After Parents Refuse to Consent to Course of Puberty Blo... Wed Jul 24, 2024 15:00 | Dr Frederick Attenborough
A Swiss girl has been been taken into care because her parents stopped her taking puberty blockers, breaching a ban on conversion therapy. Is this what Labour means by a "full, trans-inclusive ban on conversion practices"?

Net Zero is Impoverishing the West and Enriching China Wed Jul 24, 2024 13:30 | Will Jones
The West's headlong rush to jettison fossil fuels and hit 'Net Zero' CO2 emissions is impoverishing us while enriching China, which is ramping up its coal-fired industry to sell us all the 'green' technology.

'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.

Nice pic!
Well Tara still has not been saved,the road is and will be going ahead,its even on this Years GB & Ireland road maps. The only thing that can come good from this is that there will be tighter procedures for future heritage sites.
I would love for the road to be re-routed ,its not going to happen though, the damage is done.
Hold on to that guide Joe, it could become a collecters item!
Sorry I have been home for few days. I am repeating here a mail from an other site which is similar to the reply I received from the UNESCO concerning Tarawatch and the round table issue. This is important as it clearly shows that Tarawatch are misleading Tara campaigners.
"Hi all,
Mr Francesco Bandarin of UNESCO has given us permission to circulate his
email response to our enquiry.
I am reproducing it below, leaving out the name of the official from the
Department. Muireann
Dear Dr Muireann Ní Bhrolcháin
Thanks for your message and for asking my view on this matter.
While I always support conservation initiatives coming from civil
society, I was surprised to see a statement with my name in the press
release you mention.
I only met Mr Salafia for 2 minutes in the Conference room while I was
in Quebec, and cafter hearing his points I ommented that a meeting would
have been useful to present his case -as it is obvious.
I did not propose a "UNESCO initiative" or any other thing. I have the
feeling that my comment has been abused and turned into something else.
I have already explained this to Mr [.........] of the Ministry, and I have
been told that Mr Salafia is not new to this kind of twisting.
There is therefore no UNESCO initiative on this issue, and the press
release is phoney.
That said, please feel free to keep us informed on the situation.
Sincerely
Francesco Bandarin

This is not the way to behave with such an organiation and will only make them less likely to listen to our viewpoint.

UN to discuss Tara future
By - Evan Short.
Tara is to be on the agenda at an upcoming UNESCO workshop that will be held in Trinity College.
UNESCO, the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation who designate world heritage sites will discuss the ongoing works around Tara and what needs to be done to turn the area into an area of special interest.
The Minister for Environment, Heritage and Local Government John Gormley, is believed to be behind moves to turn the area into a world heritage site. The workshop format will involve a series of presentations from various local, national and international bodies, over a number of days.
The impact on the integrity of Tara cultural landscape by the proposed M3 motorway will also form a part of the workshop. Government bodies such as the National Roads Authority and the Department of the Environment will be invited, alongside local pressure groups that are against the ongoing M3 development.
Dr. Sarah Alyn Stacey from Trinity College she hoped all invited parties would take part in the workshop "This will be the first such workshop to take place in Ireland, and we hope that all of the stakeholders, including the Minister for the Environment, will participate fully". Vincent Salafia of TaraWatch said: "We are putting this matter into the hands of UNESCO now. The M3 is still two years away from completion, and we still hope that a compromise can be reached, which will preserve the complex and deliver the road".
No Camping and No Fires
For information:
I have just heard that work has begun on the esker. There are three machines in
the area today, probably started about 3 days ago.
They have shaved off a portion of the esker on the road side of the
large fence erected in March.
Francesco Bnadarin's comments show what a corrupt outfit these campaigners are.
The country needs motorways to save the lives of the living.
Nobody has ever shown any interst in this site until people saw a chance to get some self publicity from it.
The campaign to save lives on the roads has suceeded in the case of the M50 and Glen of the Downs, in spite of all the opposition to these projects the tax paying public who financed them have no problem using them.
Frank, I believe your comments to be both misinformative, and unrepresentative of the general public.
Who in their right minds would opt to pay approx E2,000 a year just to get in and out of work, on a road that was previously free? These people have NO choice,to try to convey that the ordinary people of Meath are chomping at the bit to get a new motorway is simply fantasy.
The vast majority are not aware of the huge price the tolls will take on their lives, and that of their children.
Siobhan you may have forgotten (?) that the old road will still be capable of being used as a route to Dublin.
Under EU rules a Toll Road cannot be the sole road, there has to be an alternative road.
In which case only those who can afford the Toll will use the M3.
