a 43 year old mathematician and intellectual and ex-armed rebel is about to be sworn in as vice president of Bolivia. For a variety of reasons, a lot of attention is going his way, perhaps because outside of Latin American circles, no-one really knows much about him. A very short profile of vice president elect Álvaro García Linera of Bolivia with links. read full story / add a comment

As the new year dawns the left should reflect on its short term objectives. We should take stock of the political situation, explore its options and assess the struggle and possibilities for socialist progress. read full story / add a comment

Fine Gael has called on the Government to introduce a five point plan to cut A&E attendances by up to a 1/3. The plan which includes penalizing people who attend A&E units and also happen to be drunk, may put lives at risk. The proposals ignore the fact that the vast majority of those attending A&E units are actually in need medical aid and further that the majority of those in attendance never cause any disturbance to staff or fellow patients. One of the key planks of the policy calls for the doubling of A&E fees for those found to be under the influence of alcohol. The proposed fee of almost €100 will discourage people who may need medical aid from seeking it and will hit those on low incomes hardest, students in particular. read full story / add a comment

There were lots of elections in 2005, only a few of which got covered on indymedia ireland. But because the idea of democracy really took off so much, I wasn't able to write a "how did they vote or "not vote"" article as had in previous years been attempted. Just a quick recap - listed here. {My personal favourite was the Andorran general election.} ________________________________________________ read full story / add a comment

With the founding of a radical book store in Temple bar, the massive libertarian mobilisation to Scotland and the formation of new libertarian organisations like GrassrootsDissent, Anarchist Youth, Revolt Video and Seomra Spraoi things have never looked so good around Dublin. read full story / add a comment

Its power for the course for the mainstream media, politicians and their lackeys to make a career out of criminalisation and scapegoating of minorities. In Ireland if a scapegoat is needed all too often Travellers are made to fit the bill. read full story / add a comment

It was a war of course. It was a war, and the aim was to depose the Taliban regime, replacing it with a different one. Lots and lots of people died in the process. And as RAWA wrote to the Seattle Times recently: 'It goes without saying that Afghans will not see as their “liberators” those who drove the Taliban wolves through one door and unchained the rabid dogs of the NA through another.'

Christmas will soon be upon us, the batteries will wear out, conversation will stimie, the turkey will curl and your spirits with it. Thus no more timely ocassion to remind everyone of the great and noble tradition of Irish Parlour Games. There are many which will brighten your yuletide, and i've thoughtfully made a small selection which will challenge all ages and levels of intelligence. There's surely an irish Parlour Game to suit you and yours on this little "human interest" list. ____________________________________________ read full story / add a comment

From the black block havin’ a go, to the clown army tickling cops and putting flowers in their hair, from marches to smashing McDonalds, gluing locks to throwing bricks and even it seems going to rock concerts– all of these activities have had the term direct action applied to them incorrectly. read full story / add a comment |
