It has been long observed that people for some reason on their non-banking days readily absorb shite about Dangerous Places, Famous People, Sensible Saving Options, Holidays, Interesting facts, Sport results, Media, gardening and health as well looking ahead at “upcoming issues” and looking back at "how history was made".

Today is september 11 of the 9th month 2005.
It is also the 9th day of Elul, year of Moses 5765 it will soon be 5766.

Does inequality of wealth really matter?, Richard Wilkinson Professor of sociology, has been researching and gathering evidence of the damage done by extreme inequality between the rich and the poor. As in todays society as the rich get richer, whilst the poor get even poorer. Despite however rich a country is, that country will be more dysfunctional, violent, sick and depressed if the wealth gap between the social classes grows too wide. read full story / add a comment

What does Phoenix think it’s doing? ‘Goldhawk’ et al probably do believe they are mounting some kind of challenge to the pantomime that passes for Irish politics. Take a look at a typical issue. For instance, the latest one. The biggest clue about who our intrepid crew of fearless reporters believe their readers are, lies in the advertising.

The SWP is about to launch the 'Davitt League' in October, using the Rossport Five campaign as a Trojan Horse to build a Respect style front, dominated by that party.

Heres how the latest edition of Socialist Worker puts it: "The Davitt League is an exciting development which could be the basis for the emergence of a new left movement in Ireland. Labour, the Greens and Sinn Fein refuse to rule out coalition with right-wing, privatising, pro-war parties. A new left movement of people-power can give a political voice to campaigns and help to build a movement to defeat neoliberalism and war". read full story / add a comment

By now everyone with a tv set knows that after 120 hours the poor of new
Orleans are getting food, water and medical supplies.
I've left an article, filled with Jesus describing what happened in the
USA in the last week, which soon enough will be forgotten, and i've moved
to american time not the first time in my life I wake at american morning
and work till american night. Yesterday america's tv and newspapers got
into "state of emergency". Yesterday the anchor news opinion shows of the
4 networks got down to real business. Answering the questions, spinning
less propaganda, telling "you" how to help, giving facts, figures and to
a one voicing the desperation of their own "ex war correspondents" in New
Orleans.

120 hours.

What follows is advice for you and your friends and family as members of "our community" on what may save your life if ever your city goes through a similar disaster. read full story / add a comment

“Anarchy Disrupts US Storm Relief”claims the BBC. “Scenes of Anarchy in Super dome” declares CNN. “Anarchy in the streets”. But what's really going on in New Orleans? Whether or not the hurricane itself is the result of human actions is questionable, but what is clear is that the chaos and death in the Big Easy are anything but the result of anarchy. read full story / add a comment

I believe that pubs and publicans are finally starting to wake up and smell the coffee; and realise that people will no longer put up with the blatant overcharging that goes on. With sales down; and fewer people going out; and for less; and for shorter times, pubs have begun to bring down their prices. In addition, many pubs have now brought in live entertainment such as bands and ballads; and not before time! For example, my local, the Kilmardinny on Lorcan Avenue in Santry, Dublin, now has ballads and live music on a Wednesday and Saturday nights; and this is starting to draw the crowds back in; and I believe that it is a similar story in other pubs the length and breath of Ireland! read full story / add a comment
