Sean Garland is now a fugitive from "justice" in Northern Ireland. Having broken his bail conditions, he has remained in the South following his hospital treatment.

This year, 18 people are dead, and so many friends, family and people are affected. Last year, it was 8 deaths in a turf war. The turf war is territory and the war relates to the sale of illegal drugs that destroy peoples' lives. I believe in everybody having a degree of self reliance in and input to halting this plague of mind distortion so called pleasure. The articles in New Scientist are worth a read. This week's article is second from the bottom.....the title is what motivates me to write, the remainder of my comment is about contextualising the effects of drugs on long term and health and in particular the consequences of mental health problems as a direct consequence of addiction. Let the children know. Why don't we have some for of game that shows you how unpleasant it is when your mind goes ary..... http://www.newscientist.com read full story / add a comment

This is my 4th article looking at the Housing Crises and Extreme Poverty in Paris. It is also direct response to tonight's speech by President Chirac on French TV in defence of the decision made today by cabinet to extend the curfew and (further criminalise) French youth for the next 3 months. read full story / add a comment

36 days to go, and I'm sure many of the readers are like my good self, drawing up the list for Christmas Cards 2005. I enjoy these gradually shortening days and evenings as Winter comes on. The garden becomes more manageable, all the roses are pruned, and flower beds have been dug, I find more time to relax and draw up the list. Of course at this time of year it may number some thousands of names, and then the fun bit comes- Crossing off the names. It is my annual project to "not send" christmas cards to many thousands of people, from both public and private life. & I have noted that they don't send me one either. read full story / add a comment

According to the Dáil Report in The Irish Times on Friday 11 November, the Taoiseach said: “Human Rights Watch went on to say that it was highly unlikely that this type of clandestine activity [i.e. the CIA's extraordinary renditions] would operate out of a major civilian airport.” On this basis, we are to be reassured that we do not need to search US aircraft landing at Shannon. In a letter to the Taoiseach, I quote reports from mainstream media sources of CIA aircraft operating its extraordinary abuses out of the following major civilian airports: Bromma (aka Stockholm City Airport), Dulles (Washington), Prestwick (Glasgow), Queen Alia (Amman) and Kastrup (Copenhagen). If all of these airports have been used and abused, then why not Shannon? read full story / add a comment

This week the heirarchy of the Roman Catholic Church and its secular powerbase popped up on my radar twice. The Ferns reports was published in Ireland, and the PD Liz O'Donnell TD is to be congratulated on her little speech, which though bitchy did get the point accross. The Spanish heirarchy meanwhile has spent the last weeks pumping up its fans for a march against the Socialists plans for education reform today in Madrid which is to "draw a million". Its the return match after the Bishops drew a million to oppose gay marriage. Two traditionally catholic states who have only recently experienced prosperity, and begun the development of socially open and secular societies dealing with "much the same" problems. __________________________________________ Liz O'Donnell's speech to the Dail, came from a woman who obviously feels she suffered at the hands of "the special relationship" at the heart of the Irish state.

At its' October 2005 conference the Workers Solidarity Movement made a large number of changes to our position paper on 'The Partition of Ireland'. The first draft of this paper was posted to indymedia back in August 2004 leading to a debate over some 68 comments ( see http://www.indymedia.ie/newswire.php?story_id=66227 ). In November 2004 Organise! published a major response to our position paper called 'Crossing the border' (see http://www.indymedia.ie/newswire.php?story_id=67598 ) leading to another 30 or so comments. Below we present the new version of the position paper for further debate and discussion. read full story / add a comment

The Spanish have a word for it, they call it "callejera", it means street violence which includes arson, houses, businesses and cars get burnt. The Basque term is "kale borroka", its thought of as the lowest level of sustained urban unrest. The French today, look at their newspapers and see photos which usually they see in Iraq of cars in flames. But this time its "their cars", as their prime minister De Villepin assured the national assembly from the floor. They must be very re-assured. Even though he was never elected. One might have heard an artistocratic taunt hanging in the gilded air, "let them buy cars!". _______________________________________________ read full story / add a comment

In a significant shift, the Socialist Party of England and Wales has indicated that it will take part in or initiate a conference to bring together left and trade union activists to discuss the creation of a new broadly based workers party.
