I stand in full solidarity with the brave participants of Occupy Los Angeles and I support the immediate release of all protesters.
As of this writing, close to 300 people have been held on up to $5000 bail for simply practicing their first amendment rights of assembly and freedom of speech. This is unacceptable. All protestors should be freed. read full story / add a comment

The rate of job destruction has accelerated in the quarter July to September
2011. On a seasonally adjusted basis, employment fell by 20,500 (-1.1%) in
the quarter. This follows on from a seasonally adjusted fall in employment
of 4,100 (-0.2%) in Q2 2011. This means that 20,500 more jobs were destroyed
than were created in the quarter. Minister Bruton's "Job Creation" measures
had already been introduced in June. The continuation of the FF/Green
austerity programme by Lab/FG destroyed far more jobs than were created(if
any) by the Bruton measures. read full story / add a comment

Supporters of Focus Ireland sent almost 3,000 e-mails to TDs and Senators calling for the appointment of a new Minister for Housing and Homelessness to have a voice in deciding the contents of the budget. Unfortunately, the Government decided not to make that appointment before budget day, but the high level of public scrutiny on the issue ensured that the homeless budget was largely protected. While so many areas of expenditure were being cut, the cuts to services to end homelessness were relatively small. So thank you for that support. It shows we can make a difference. read full story / add a comment

Is is justifiable to be a member of the catholic church with its history of child abuse cover up, anti women ideology, pro capitalist policies? All those who supported McQuaid and opposed the mother and child scheme have to condemned. They slunk away before the catholic church with their tails between their legs. They "proved" that Paisley and his ilk were correct that the South was a catholic state. they have blood on their hands. read full story / add a comment

A Chara,
Our 'leaders' are trying to wave through a terrifying Merkel/Sarkozy plan that would abolish our right to choose sane economic policies and that would permanently ban vital public spending - all to appease big banks. But we live in a democracy and we should have the right to vote on any permanent changes to how Europe operates, and together, we can stop our leaders trashing our democracy and our jobs. read full story / add a comment

An article outlining the devastation and mass murder caused by oil companies in Nigeria.
Current investment in exploring for gas and oil in Nigeria is expected to reach 45 billion dollars this month, according to a 30 November report in the industry newsletter Sweetcrude. By coincidence, in a statement cosigned by numerous European film stars and other public figures issued the day before, Amnesty International France called for the major oil companies to be "compelled" to fund a massive proposal to clean up the damage they have already caused during the last half-century of oil drilling in the Niger River Delta. The initial cost of this plan drafted by the UN Environmental Programme would be a billion dollars. read full story / add a comment
