Conscription never went away you know. It just became Economic Conscription. It is Working Class kids who will die in the war for oil. Sixteen-year-old Cara is particularly keen. "They told us about the pay, and it's way better than all my cousins
are getting," she says.

Don't forget : James Connolly first came to Ireland in the uniform of a British Soldier, he was an Economic Conscript.

Britain's child army

Stricken by Iraq and low morale, the British army is on a desperate
recruitment drive. Its new targets? Poorly educated teenagers and young
schoolchildren

On a winter day, 38 schoolchildren gather at Fulwood Barracks in Preston. They are aged between 14 and 16 they have been bussed over from a poorly performing comprehensive in a deprived area. The teachers who have come along with them seem apprehensive. Many of these kids can be unruly; others are quiet but don't perform well in class.

Liberia is a strange place. It is (correct me if I'm wrong oh do) the only state which was established in the African continent by purchase rather than historical national process [Ethiopia], or colonisation [almost all of the continent] or by subsequent independence from the "metropoles".

The story of Liberia began with the emancipated afro-americans of the mid-19th century and the "black star" chartered by Marcus Garvey to establish a "homeland" which within the idealism of the subsequent DuBois would form the bulwark of a "pan-Africa".

Today Liberia seems remote from the utopia planned by its founders, it is a country associated with horrible tribal warfare & for decades was the playground of mercenaries. But its slow recovery may be helped by the arrival of the first women only contingent of UN peace-keeping troops read full story / add a comment

Serving soldiers join mass demonstrations

Anti-war activists dubbed this a "peace surge" against Bush's escalation of the war. The largest of the demonstrations was in Washington, D.C., where "a raucous and colorful multitude of protesters…danced, sang, chanted and shouted their opposition" in front of the Capitol (‘Washington Post’, 1/28/07). While most estimates put the crowd in D.C. at 100-150,000, organizers for United for Peace and Justice claimed up to 500,000 attended. read full story / add a comment

According to Yahoo News, the first Irish Viking Ship has been found in the Boyne river. This is surely a very important and exciting find.

However given the track record of this government at destroying our heritage, in places like Carrick Mines, Tara, and many others, it would be entirely inconsistent of them to preserve this. Surely it should be sold off to the highest bidder at a minimum or broken up and incorporated somehow into chic-furnishings on a set of apartments overlooking the site. read full story / add a comment
