Taken from th BNP website.. After a couple of years of torpor the BNP is finally getting itself together in Ulster. Just two weeks ago Regional Organiser Kieran Dinsmore met with new members and old hands alike in Bangor, Co. Down to discuss a campaign of activities to boost the presence and electoral appeal of the Party across the province. Against a backdrop of the Peace Process stalemate and an unprecedented amount of immigration of workers from Eastern Europe and asylum seekers from three continents the Ulster political scene is ripe for the British National Party. Loyalties to the old established parties based on religious sectarianism are breaking down and the people of Ulster across both communities are looking for radical new ideas, hope and above all real answers in an uncertain and rapidly changing world. read full story / add a comment

The Easter Rising of April 24 1916 was not simply a pivotal event in Irish history. It signalled the beginning of a revolutionary wave in Europe that reached its highest point in Russia in 1917 - Lenin wrote that ;the tragedy of the Irish; was that ;they rose too soonbefore the revolution had matured in other countries. Today, the democratic legacy of the rising is under attack. Liam O Ruairc surveys the debate read full story / add a comment

'RTE DO NOT report surveys of Iraqi civilian casualties as fact. They do however quote only selected figures from selective surveys. One would be forgiven for thinking that because they only report one figure, this is figure they have most confidence in. Strangely enough, this is one of the lowest estimates, by a huge margin. Give or take 260,000?' - toirtap blog read full story / add a comment

As activists we all need to be aware of how the far the state may wish to go in their pursuit of 'Justice' Maybe we need to look further into our rights as citizens and our right to freely communicate with each other.. Is Big Brother watching.. who Knows.. They aint gonna tell us! Clarification on phone records access sought The Data Protection Commissioner has said the law should be clarified to ensure that gardaí can only access individual phone records when they are investigating serious crime. Speaking at the launch of his office's annual report, Commissioner Billy Hawkes said amendments to legislation brought in last year allow gardaí investigating all crimes to access telephone records. However, he said this should be confined to investigations into serious crime only, and welcomed an EU directive which would require the Government to change the law accordingly. Mr Hawkes also called for a checklist to be created which gardaí would have to work through before being given access to telephone records. He said an investigation by his office had found that hundreds of individual call records were being accessed by gardaí each month. continues: http://www.rte.ie/news/2006/0411/dataprotection.html read full story / add a comment

The Active Retirement Ireland (ARI) agm yesterday in Dublin Castle saw hundreds of angry older people letting a FF Minister know what they think of the private sectors control of the nursing home sector. Is it not time that opposition political parties started to make this a serious issue? According to the ARI the state is obliged by law to provide public nursing home places, however that is not the reality on the ground. When you are old and need to go to a nursing home, an expensive private bed is your only option. The ARI organsiation seems to be the only one making this argument?

Here's a story about a Irish couple detained for a week on the back of a disgruntled employers claims In January 2002, Murray and Gould asked Northrop Grumman if they could change jobs because the school owner did not pay them and demanded they clean his home. After they complained, the school owner called Northrop Grumman and said the pair had never worked for him and Murray was getting his pilot's license so he could open a business in Yemen, the appeals court said. They were deemed to no longer have legal residency status under the work program. The school owner also claimed that the couple opposed U.S. policy and believed that as long as the United States supports Israel terrorism will only worsen, the court said. Northrop Grumman notified the Department of State and U.S. immigration authorities of the claims. Days later, the government took the couple into custody and began deportation proceedings. http://www.newsday.com/news/local/wire/newyork/ny-bc-ny...wyork read full story / add a comment

Such is the logic of Blairs Britain: an anti war protester went to the Cenotaph and read out the names of British soldiers killed in Iraq. For this he was arrested, charged with holding an illegal demonstration and now has been convicted and fined.

Internal fighting within the Labour Party in the Sligo-North Leitrim constituency has deepened with the decision of the all the members (23) of the North Leitrim branch not to renew their membership of the party. Former Sligo-Leitrim TD Declan Bree, who comes from the left of the party, has been in sharp conflict with the party leadership. Bree said he regretted the resignation of former county council candidate Gabriel McSharry. Sources in Sligo say Bree is coming under strong pressure from supporters to leave Labour and stand as an independent socialist. Also Bree and several of his supporters did not attend Labour’s annual conference last weekend. read full story / add a comment

The Alma-Ata City authorities are determined to destroy the homes of settlers who have built poor but dignified living quarters on the outskirts of the city. Many of those who live in Shanyrak were driven out of their last homes by the collapse of industry in Kazakhstan, in the early and mid-nineties. With nowhere else to live, they moved to Shanyrak, and used old and second hand building materials to build modest homes in formerly uninhabited regions of the city. Now the Alma-Ata City authorities want the land, to build ‘entertainment complexes’ and elite flats for Kazakhstan’s ‘new rich’. read full story / add a comment
