Oxfordshire's green lunatics are at it again, says Ben Pile. Councils which you would think had enough on their plate trying to stop drug and rape gangs are instead spending taxpayers' money on sucking CO2 out of the air.

Given the threat of Islamist terrorism, it's irresponsible to 'decolonise' and 'diversify' our National Curriculum. This woke makeover will mean teaching children most susceptible to radicalisation to hate their country.

Mary Raftery - Investigative Journalist - R.I.P.

category national | crime and justice | news report author Tuesday January 10, 2012 22:38author by wageslave Report this post to the editors

Investigative Journalist Mary Raftery has passed away. She was instrumental in bringing to light much of the systemic institutional abuse by religious organisations that occurred. Mary, you were an inspiration to journalism and you will be missed
Mary Raftery
Mary Raftery

Mary Raftery, through her investigative Journalism was key to the exposure of the dark underbelly of the religious institutions in Ireland through her relentless and skilled research and through her documentary films "cardinal sins" and "states of fear".

She will be sorely missed at a time where proper investigative journalism has largely been replaced by a servile brand of repeating government and institutional press releases as "news".

Why is it that real journalists like Mary pass away prematurely whilst the likes of Eoghan harris seem to live on forever??

R.I.P. Mary. Your legacy will live on through several telling reports which came on the back of the controversy and outrage generated by your documentaries:

THE MURPHY REPORT,

THE RYAN REPORT
and
THE CLOYNE REPORT

And your documentary films such as this one:
States of fear part 1 of 2
States of fear part 2 of 2
