As you might have noticed all the EU leaders are very upset, this is because Mahmoud Ahmadinejad a former brickie elected to the job of leading Iran on August 3rd said yesterday at a conference for "rabidly anti-israeli people" that Israel ought be wiped off the map. & his official press agency thoughtfully told the west about it afterwards. read full story / add a comment

October 26, 2005 Amid all the natural and political disasters it faces, the White House is certainly tireless in its effort to legalize torture. This week, Vice President Dick Cheney proposed a novel solution for the moral and legal problems raised by the use of American soldiers to abuse prisoners and the practice of turning captives over to governments willing to act as proxies in doing the torturing. Mr. Cheney wants to make it legal for the Central Intelligence Agency to do this wet work. [....] But Mr. Cheney's proposal was even more ludicrous. It would give the president the power to allow government agencies outside the Defense Department (the administration has in mind the C.I.A.) to mistreat and torture prisoners as long as that behavior was part of "counterterrorism operations conducted abroad" and they were not American citizens. That would neatly legalize the illegal prisons the C.I.A. is said to be operating around the world and read full story / add a comment

UK to avoid cripplingly high rents in urban centres Diane Taylor Wednesday October 26, 2005 The Guardian Françoise is a well-groomed young French woman who works part-time in fashion PR in London, pays her taxes and shares a cottage with friends in north London. She pays no rent though, because she is one of thousands of people across the UK who is squatting. "Many people who squat are working in low-paid jobs and simply cannot afford to pay rent, particularly in London," she says. "We want to do something creative with our lives, not just working behind a bar or on a building site. If you don't have to pay rent on top of all your other living expenses it can mean the difference between having time to live and merely surviving." read full story / add a comment

The last days have seen the various unions and collectives that represent spanish fishermen decide to blockade ports on the peninsula to demand a reduction in the cost of fuel. Its a European issue which has passed from state to state through the summer, and each government must fiddle with its budget to ensure that low costing subsidised fuel essential to its industry stays low. Despite hurricane supply pricing, despite Iraq, despite Mr Bush, despite the nerves that nigerians or poor south americans may blow up their oil wells. UK road haulers need cheap fuel too, and we remember their blockades didn't transpire this summer, well now its the Spanish trawlers turn... read full story / add a comment

Rosa Parks died at the age of 93 on October 24, 2005. It was 50 years ago that Rosa Parks refused to give up her seat to a white man aboard a city bus in Montgomery, Alabama. She was arrested and convicted of violating the state’s segregation laws. Her act of civil disobedience was the spark that lit the flames of the American civil rights movement - a long struggle for freedom which inspired others around the world to do the same - including our fellow countrymen north of the border. read full story / add a comment

Judgment reserved in Rossport Five case Last updated: 25-10-05, 11:47 The 'Rossport Five' pictured after their release from Cloverhill Prison last month The five Mayo men who spent 94 days in prison for their contempt of court over protests against a controversial gas pipeline will have to wait to learn whether they face further penalties. The High Court today reserved judgment on the case of the five, who spent more than three months in Cloverhill Prison for failing to abide by an injunction preventing them from protesting against the high-pressure pipeline. The 70-kilometre pipe runs through some of men's land, only metres from their homes, from the Corrib gas field in the Atlantic to an onshore refinery at Bellanaboy. Micheal O'Seighin, Wille Corduff, Philip McGrath, Vincent McGrath and Brendan Philbin were read full story / add a comment
