http://www.rte.ie/news/2010/1207/presswatch-business.html PILOT WHO CROSSED O'LEARY RESIGNS - The Ryanair pilot who said the airline should replace Michael O'Leary, the low-cost airline's chief executive, with a junior flight attendant to save money has quit after being reassigned from southern France to the "Siberia" of a base in Lithuania, says the Financial Times. Captain Morgan Fischer was one of almost 30 Ryanair pilots working at Marseilles who had to move after the airline announced in October that it was closing the base following a disagreement with French authorities. The pilots were asked to bid for new bases. Most did so and were offered work at bases in Spain, Italy, Portugal and elsewhere, including some a few hours' drive from Marseilles, where many live with their families. ... read full story / add a comment

Hortefeux the minister of the interior (= to minister of justice or home secretary) has found a new enemy now that Romanians, women in veils & Africans are old hat. Yep. Paris indymedia is according to him an anti-police website which facilitates the indentification of serving police officers thus leading to their general ostracisation & probably unpopularity. ... read full story / add a comment

If incompetent rulers are a pre-requisite for revolution in Ireland, well this most certainly is that time, as we watch the bankruptcy of both finance and Irish leadership dailyunfold. It is somewhat paradoxical for Irish republicans to politically agree with a British proponent of population control such as Huxley but few will deny, these last quotes below, again from Huxley, would be an apt summary of the motivation of a large segment of Irish republicanism. ... read full story / add a comment

The union and labor leaders should be leading the battle to defend the right of all of us to know what is in the cables of capitalism. But they are so much part of the system they will not. While continuing to point this out and to build opposition forces to these union leaders in the workplaces and unions we, the left and all activist and anti capitalist forces, have to act ourselves. We should join Anonymous which is coordinating the defense of wikileaks and its funding base. Boycott Mastercard, Visa, Amazon etc. At the same time we should seek to give more of a democratic structure to Anonymous so it can become a more effective and democratic and decision making body, with a leadership which is collective and has depth, and so is better able to replace itself when capitalism can arrest or otherwise remove more of its leaders. ... read full story / add a comment

by Caoimhghin Ó Croidheáin As the global economic crisis deepens, one may ask how the artist can play any role in social, economic and political change? Visual artists have been commenting on society since William Hogarth, a pictorial satirist and social critic during the early 1700s, used art to comment on the politics and customs of his time. The same challenge still exists today - how can the visual artist make images that have a profound effect on people and their view of society and so hope to contribute to making a better society for all? ... read full story / add a comment

The German Ambassador Pauls described Ireland as a “coarse” country infected by pure unadulterated greed and avarice. He didn't mince his word either, describing examples of a small country with an over bearing elite of overpaid Government ministers, junior ministers and a gravy train of political life, living the high on the pigs back, oblivious to the reality of deprived estates of people of no property, the length and breath of Ireland. ... read full story / add a comment

Shocking reading: Wikileaks document on Shannon: Government wanted to be seen to be hard on the US to win votes in 2007 General election. US government considered handing the Irish Government the bill for the plane damaged by the 'Shannon Five'. Repost this to expose the shame of the Irish Government's complicity in the transport of war munitions and prisoners en route to US detention facilities. http://www.teaandtoast.ie/?p=399 ... read full story / add a comment |
