Keir Starmer says he will never withdraw from the ECHR because there is "no need" and Rishi Sunak did not disagree, despite it being the reason he failed to stop the boats. Nigel Farage says it's time to ask the people.

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"?

offsite link 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.

At midday today, Monday 5th October, a demonstration to protest the Palestinian Authority’s action in scuttling the Goldstone Report of the UN Human Rights Council’s Fact Finding Mission to Gaza was held in Ramallah. It had been called over the weekend by a collective of Palestinian civil society including political parties, development organisations, human rights NGOs, and concerned individuals. The demonstration was to give a voice on the streets to the increasing frustration and despair with the unrepresentative and deeply unpopular policies and practices of the Palestinian Authority.

A crowd of about 100 people gathered to march down towards the gate of Marine Terminals Ltd. In anticipation of the march by the strikers and their supporters, the company had closed the gates. The march happened on the same day that polls were open for the Lisbon treaty, and a number of speakers at the gate made the point that this was the type of Europe we were getting thanks to Lisbon. read full story / add a comment

I am writing this article to draw attention to the fact that vegetable growers can no longer be sure that farmyard manure, (including horse manure), is safe to use. There have been huge problems since last year where contaminated manure has led to stunted and grossly deformed vegetables in thousands of gardens, allotments and farms across the UK and the US, and now Irish gardeners are starting to be affected too. Potatoes, tomatoes, peas, beans, carrots and salad vegetables are all vulnerable, and there have been reports of damage to onions, leeks, raspberries and even a newly-planted tree; though, worryingly, some vegetables such as courgettes appear unaffected when grown on the same contaminated manure.

Taking advantage of Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's appearance at the UN in New York, thousands of Iranians from all across North America and beyond held two days of spirited protests against this icon of hate for many millions of their countrymen. They included a wide range of people, including many veterans of the 1979 revolution driven into exile, and U.S. and Canadian-born youth of Iranian descent awakening – and sometimes reawakening their elders – to political life. They also represented a broad range of political opinion, with a strong showing of forces identifying with the pro-Islamic Republic "Green" reformist opposition of presidential candidate Mir-Hossein Mousavi, as well as revolutionaries, communists and many others against both the Islamic regime and U.S. imperialism. read full story / add a comment
