President Bush met President Chirac today...there is an urgent need to resolve disagreements and form strategies for peaceful resolutions worldwide. Within months, the citizens of Ireland review and vote on their choice for the EU constitution. Perhaps it is time to review our own...in the light of the Peace Process. Surely: our focus ought to be corrupt practices North and South but not make alleged criminality, at the last hurdle towards the conclusion of the Peace Process. The Gardai exist as do the PSNI let them seek out all illegal practices irrespective of origin and act with Due Process. The Tribunals about land deals are evidence....... read full story / add a comment

Seán’s ninth birthday is approaching and with this in mind his father Jimmy asks him if he would have any interest in watching Ireland Vs France this coming weekend in Landsdowne Rd. Sean is ecstatic at the prospect, so the following day his dad sets out to purchase a pair of tickets for the big game. To his dismay though, there is a reduced capacity in the stadium due to FIFA regulations and as a result Jimmy is unable to purchase tickets from any of the legitimate sources. For a while he wonders if he might chance his arm and negotiate a ticket from a tout prior to the match, but eventually his financial situation deems this option a non-starter. read full story / add a comment

The PSNI have absolutely no evidence whatsoever that the DUP were behind the £26 million bank raid, just like they have absolutely no evidence that Sinn fein were behind it. But they might as well point the finger of blame at someone. read full story / add a comment

Justice delayed is Justice Denied. The CAB will not apparently being receiving early pensions. Instead, their skills refined through the 1980's/90's scandals of tax evasion will now prove refined to the degree that we may have an effective, speedy system of tribunals with prompt delivery to the Justice system However, in the midst of all this exciting blame festering news let us not forget the important issues. We need to review children, we need to consider restorative justice, we need to appoint educational psychologists in our schools, we need Ethics established as a mind set of those entering the work environment, government etc. read full story / add a comment

The U.S. embassy has just issued a warning to it's citizens to stay away from certain parts of Seoul. Demonstrations against foreigners are planned and an online petition to keep foreigners out of the country has already got thousands of signatures. Many foreigners are worried, some have already left. And all this because of a website? Welcome to Korea, one of the most reactionary and xenophobic countries in Asia. read full story / add a comment

Coca-Cola may be making noises in the UK to cut down its branding and marketing of caffeinated sugar water to children, but in the US they are steaming full bore ahead like a schoolyard bully. The "pouring rights" contracts at public schools are not just incredibly bad policy, but they have been challenged as unlawful. read full story / add a comment

It took years for movies dramatising the agony of the Vietnam conflict to hit the big screen, yet oddly enough a jaundiced contemporary view of the states seeped into a mass audience through Leone's spaghetti westerns. Remaining conspicuous through absence from the canons of motion picture greats, the stylistic flourishes of Sergio Leone westerns provide the popular mind with an immediate shorthand for the genre cinematically. read full story / add a comment

Once this was a place of great hope. During the late 1980’s, the Sandinistas were consolidating the revolution in Nicaragua, the FMLN were on the brink of overthrowing the government in El Salvador and the radical movements in Guatemala and Honduras were gaining ground. Today it is a region convulsed by massive delinquency and chronic state corruption whose economies are surviving tenuously on remittance money sent by migrants. The defeat of the revolutionary movements has ushered in an era of social disintegration resulting in a veritable neo-liberal dystopia. read full story / add a comment
