It is interesting to consider in the abstract some of the principles which may apply to community development work and to see how these ideas sit with our own organisations. read full story / add a comment

Despite the comments by German chancellor Gerhard Schroeder following the defeat of the EU constitution in France and Holland, the German political establishment is in crisis. The potential now exists for the establishment of a new broad left formation. read full story / add a comment

The best television and newspaper ratings go to light entertainment. Looking at the news, it’s easy to understand why. It’s nicer to feel happy, albeit brain-dead, than depressed and powerless; though the two are not mutually exclusive. Most of us take for granted the whole concept of ‘news’, so much so that the question ‘what is news?’ almost seems ridiculous. Yet, when we reflect honestly on the unaccountable agenda-setting power of news editors over everyday conversations in parks, pubs, the canteen etc., we can only conclude that news has a tremendous influence over the thought of the public, and the question becomes more obvious, as does its variant; ‘who decides what’s news?’ News editors are deciding what we should think is important, and in doing so, defining each of our situations for us, as well as the situation of the World around us. read full story / add a comment

I was watching a news article on RTE 30th May 2005 about drunken street violence in Dublin. It rekindled a question that has always been in my mind, "what about an alternative to alcohol". It is clear that Irish citizens desire some kind of recreational substance, the most socially accebtable being alcohol. read full story / add a comment

Everyone in the house is getting ready to go out and vote. Polling stations in our area (Bagneux, one of the last two Communist towns left in Paris's former "red belt" suburbs) are closing at 9 or so. Nina and I (we're engaged - did I say?) are then off for a non-party with some friends. I can't vote here, but I've been following some of what others have been saying here, and would like to share a few observations with you. read full story / add a comment

Having become alarmed at the rising crime rate more than two years ago I decided to build a website to highlight the problem. In that time almost nothing has been done to address the problem. How much more mayhem do we have to put up with before our elected representatives finally get around to doing their jobs? read full story / add a comment

The following passage may appear to be a string of non-sequiturs. That's just the punctuation. It is in fact a (slightly banal) list of reasons why people volunteer to take part in community development and other altruistic, organised and unpaid activity and work. read full story / add a comment

I thought this might be of interest for assorted lefts. I've written this article for a music fanzine in my own area, but it certainly has political relevance, especially for fans of the German industrial metal group. The politics of Rammstein have been debated for years, but those who I have spoken with have always been a little unsure of the actual stance of the band. Hopefully this article will go towards clearing this debate up in some ways. Any constructive criticism is appreciated. read full story / add a comment

Marx said that religion was the opium of the people but sport has eclipsed man's fascination with the supernatural. Football is the heroin of sport. I can remember the first time I stood with my father on a terrace and watched men chase a bag of wind around a field. I still can be found standing on those steps in all sorts of weather. read full story / add a comment
