This morning, the St Patrick's flag flutters in front of Limavady Orange hall in Co. Derry. The Irish flag of St Patrick, not often seen even in northern Irish Unionist districts, is a diagonal red cross against a white background. When combined with the English Cross of St George (a red cross against a white background, often seen at English football matches and on nationalist rallies in Georgia in eastern Europe) and the Scottish Cross of St Andrew (a diagonal white cross against a blue background) you get the British Union Flag, known colloquially as the "Union Jack". read full story / add a comment

Tonight the BBC will air the first part of their 2008 "Passion" drama in which Simon Elliott the production designer has chosen to depict a "historically accurate" crucifixion as possible. ""He was probably put on a crude wooden gibbet and made to stand in a loose, foetal position. It was fiendishly designed."" says Mr Elliott who admits his work might offend Christians who like the traditional nails through the hands & feet image of a muscular sort of chap who manages to just hang there without suffocation or his hands being ripped apart. Pretty gruesome stuff you'll agree. You might even believe in it. In which case you ought jam the BBC switchboard tonight & write letters using the trusty name "disgusted". read full story / add a comment

Have heard from two reliable sources that Squeek has left the tunnel at Rath Lugh. She left with Gardai and some of her family present. The Gardai have taken her away from the site as far as I am aware. Here's hoping for 100 to take her place. Tara is THE symbol of dead-end corruption and anti-democratic government in Ireland. The dictatorship of the developers. Pitting people against each other. Well done Squeek. Takes a lot of nerve. read full story / add a comment

The Breast cancer unit at Mayo General Hospital is to be phased out under the HSE policy of Professor Brendan Drumm, many who travelled to the Breast cancer protest in buses and stood in the cold to highlight lack of services to the North-West will be heavily disappointed in the decision for the scheduled phase-out. Mostly they will be disappointed in the TD whom they elected who upholds the decision of the 'medical men' who know best. http://www.indymedia.ie/article/85161 Ms Flynn was at that protest, she most purposefully strode across the road to listen to the women speak and then she turned her back on them to support Mary Harney and the HSE. read full story / add a comment
