The German magazine "Stern" published a report on the supermarket LIDL in the last week which alledged the corporation had been spying on its employees. The story is now being taken up across Europe, where indeed workers shop in & work for the LIDL chain. The allegations are being supported daily by more and more evidence as can be seen by perusing the original articles at "Stern" complete with photos, a vid, extracts from internal memos, et cetera, so long & so forth. Included in the internal memos were suggestions that menstruating women employees wear a coloured headband so managers could allow them extra "toilet time", time which would be denied male or non-menstruating employees. It gets worse.., "tattoos"........."wants higher wages"........"junkie friends"......... read full story / add a comment

Commercial news organisations are already carrying the story that earlier today three "pro-Tibetans" were arrested at Mount Olympus, Greece after attempting to disrupt the beginning of the Olympic Torch route. But most newspapers & TV portals will not highlight the specific group responsible for the action; Reporters Sans Frontiers or RSF members used their press privileges to bypass tight security & wave their banner. By doing so they have endangered press privileges & cast any doubt aside as to the true nature of the supposed "pro-Tibetan" nature of the recent global mobilisation against the Olympiad (first) & Peoples' Republic of China (second). read full story / add a comment

Why would anybody camp by the side of a busy road? Why would anybody camp by the side of a busy road sheltered only by rough structures made from palm tree fronds in the punishing tropical heat and torrential downpours? And why would anyone do it for four long years? read full story / add a comment

Legislative election results emerging from Iran today show the consolidation of conservative power and the Revolutionary Guard base of President Ahmadinejad. This is an outright failure for the international sanctions and the associated propaganda drive carried out on the insistence of the US through the UN and a myriad trolls. read full story / add a comment

A large number of people took a chance on yesterday's changeable weather to join the annual Good Friday Rossport Solidarity walk. The walk, now in it's fourth year, is along the original route planned by Shell for their production pipeline, which was supposed to carry raw gas at extremely high pressure to the refinery at Bellanaboy. This route was abandoned by Shell in the face of protests, but not before five local men had to spend three months away from their families locked up in a high security prison in Dublin. Shell keep saying that they will announce the new route for the pipeline "soon", but it seems that they have yet to find an opportune moment. Deliberations ended in January, we are told, but for some reason they are slow to make a formal announcement of their new plan. Some people are wondering if they are waiting for a certain Dublin politician to announce his resignation, so they can then slip out the announcement while the mainstream media have their hands full... read full story / add a comment

Iranian youths staged a massive protest on Wednesday, calling for Mahmoud Ahmadinejad’s death during the Persian celebration of Lag Ba'omer. In the western city of Ahvaz, youths of the Arab minority chanted "Freedom is our legitimate right" while crowds shouted “Death to Ahmadinejad” while lighting bonfires in the city of Sanandaj. Bonfires and firecrackers are traditional in marking the occasion. Police officers attempting to arrest the revelers were greeted with a barrage of firecrackers and other missiles. read full story / add a comment
