Public Inquiry · UK Parliament: Real democracy in action: It’s always refreshing to witness a real democracy at work.
The British Parliament defeated the Government on the question of military action against Syria.
It’s refreshing to see articulate, intelligent politicians debate the matter in front of a packed house without the crutch of zombie statements prepared by anonymous civil servants.
If the same situation existed in our gombeen parliament the decision would be made by three or four individuals behind closed doors covered by a blanket of absolute secrecy.
The Dail, Opposition and the people would then be informed of what action was going to be taken in their name.
And fuck anyone who had a problem with it.?

Public Inquiry · Morgan Kelly: Straight talking and accurate
Public Inquiry · Morgan Kelly: Straight talking and accurate: While looking at the Village Magazine website I came across a very interesting clip from RTE’s Prime Time in which Professor Morgan Kelly valiantly warns of the impending economic disaster that was about to hit the country.
His warnings were summarily dismissed by economists Brendan Keenan and Jim Power.
It’s noteworthy that we now seldom hear from Professor Kelly while Keenan and Power, who got it so wrong, are a constant presence on the airwaves analysing the disaster that they didn’t see right in front of their eyes.
It’s well worth having a look at the short clip for the full impact of Professor Kelly’s accurate forecast.?

How I exposed the Sweepstakes scandals - Independent.ie: I had never seen a sheet this clean in investigative research. Either these people - who were running the largest sustained smuggling racket in human history, mind - were snow pure. Or the rest of us were Simple Simons?

ENCOURAGECHANGE.
ENCOURAGECHANGE.: Edward Thornley’s book is much more than a study of his brother’s career; it is an attempt to rescue him from "unjust oblivion" and explain how he was effectively the inventor of the so-called peace process – at a time when any move in that direction was not merely frowned upon, but was surpressed by all the forces of the two states in this island.?
