Who Will Guard Us Against the Guardian?s ?Fact Checks?? Mon Jul 22, 2024 15:34 | David Craig
The Guardian has published a 'fact check' of Donald Trump's claims about inflation and immigration. Just one problem, says David Craig: the 'fact check' gets its facts wrong. Who will guard us against the Guardian?

The Office of Budget Intractability Mon Jul 22, 2024 11:00 | Andrew Colllingwood
Labour has brought forward a Bill giving the Office of Budget Responsibility a "fiscal lock" over future economic policy. This is one more step in the erosion of parliamentary democracy, says Andrew Collingwood.

No, the CrowdStrike Debacle is Not a Warning of What Could Happen if we Introduce CBDCs Mon Jul 22, 2024 09:00 | Anonymous IT Reporter
The CrowdStrike debacle was not a harbinger of things to come if we introduce CBDCs, argues the Daily Sceptic's IT expert. A U.K. CBDC would be designated as Critical National Infrastructure and hence not be vulnerable.

why don't we start doing it from the mayday?
Noel Dempsey should not blame the global recession for all our problems.YOUR party gave away our biggest asset,our national natural resources,our gas and oil.Have the courage minister to undo that deal,put our country first,then and only then will you begin to crawl out of this mess with some dignity.The citizens of this country deserve better.
Absolutely right about the rotten Corrib Gas deal, Margaret; they were not only corrupt, but clueless, & treacherous to 'their own' people. Nationalism or patriotism mean nothing to people who have sold out to international capitalism, greed, & power.
Spot on about the Corrib Gas field. If the government can nationalise the bank(s), why can't the same be done for the gas?
I can't imagine there's much time left for Fianna Fáil.
It's quite a Freudian slip, that when you want to go to Fianna Fáil's website, you have to type in FiannaFail.ie - fail indeed. Goodbye, Fianna Fail.
Goodbye Fianna Fail - RIP
We need to educate to formulate a calculation for the loss
Corruption beyond comparison a perception of the cost
The wasted Celtic Tiger years a complacent slippery trail
The politics of backhand Jim the birth of Fianna fail
We need freedom from the bigots a state without a church
Equal shares amongst us all let no man stand in lurch
The ideals of the proclamation written in widows tears
Those dreams and aspirations ignored for all those years
We need honesty to understand integrity to trust
Transparency of bureaucracy laws for fair and just
The strength to grow organically take pride in ancestral guile
Forget the bulls of Lisbon We are the Emerald Isle
We need to speculate to accumulate some sense from Leinster house
The traps have failed the cupboards bare no crumbs left for the mouse
A helicopter trip for the party whip cannot beat them into line
Their course has run their day has come their failures marked in time
We need equity in entity a voice with choice explained
No more the fault of lame excuse or global pressures blamed
For tightened belts or bank bail outs indeed these times are hard
No justification for their ignorance or denial of medical card
We need answers now and solutions quick before the sun goes down
Where have all the credits gone, from the growth years Mr Cowen?
On flights to those exotic places with Saint Patrick upon your back
Enjoy the trip this one last time for your surely for the sack!..
We need accountable Dail Eirean a move to get things done
A change of heart and sentiment from Bantry to Ballymun
The renewal of our heritage a centre from Athlone
From the inward out to the out within our ancestral spirit home
After thought: Now is the time of opportunity for change Not more of the same

(already noted above) there is a new Irish social democratic site on the economic crisis from TASC:
progressive-economy@tasc
The page below features a video from the WSM, 'The Credit Crunch Explained'. Also on that page are other videos explaining or analysing the crisis:

Other radical sites on The Crisis are:

It's good to see that the WSM has been postering around town (Dublin) for the March 30 strike. A very good poster at that, but where are all the other left groups' posters? The employers and the state do indeed intend to impose a defeat ,but the depth of the current financial crisis means that it will have to be a much worse defeat than anything that Thatcher imposed on Britain in the eighties . The idea of class struggle will sound less and less old-fashioned as this year goes on - whether people like it or not .
OLD Ratso ''Reposess your home if you cant make the interest payments Michael Finnegan'' is accused of legging it with 8ml euro '
But thats ok 'they say' ,as, 'if he had been investing the 8ml euro with the banks it would be worthless by now ',
Worthless nasty little goatee bearded little excuse for a human being ,is Finnegan .
