Up to half of excess deaths in American nursing homes were due to the impact of lockdowns and mitigation measures on frail residents rather than the virus, according to new analysis.

Woke Activists Need to Read Their David Hume Fri Apr 19, 2024 11:16 | Dr James Allan
The great Scottish Enlightenment philosopher David Hume would have some things to teach today's woke activists, says Prof James Allan: about a mind-independent reality that has no truck with claims of 'my truth'.

Farmers? Biggest Problems are Green Ideologues, not Climate Change Fri Apr 19, 2024 09:00 | Ben Pile
It's been a wet winter and this is bad news for farmers, says Ben Pile. But with agricultural yields increasing sharply over recent decades, there's no reason to link it to climate change or start catostrophising about it.

How Many Billions of People Would Die Under Net Zero? Fri Apr 19, 2024 07:00 | Chris Morrison
Chris Packham has hit back at claims made on GB News that half the world's population could die under Net Zero. But that seems like a fair estimate of the catastrophic harm of deindustrialisation, says Chris Morrison.

Jump To Comment: 1 2 3EVENTS WEEK COMMENCING 16.10.06
1. Some Shell to Sea activists are travelling on Thursday to Erris to participate in the national day of action on Friday morning 20.10.06 at Ballinaboy.
2. There will be a protest outside the Statoil Garage on the Limerick Road in Ennis on Friday afternoon from 5.30 to 6.30.
Statoil is part the Corrib Gas consortium with Shell and Marathon Oil. Please note the slightly later starting time for this week's protest.
The Norwegian Embassy in Dublin will be notified of the event and displeasure will also be conveyed regarding its government's role in the fiasco.
(The Norwegian Government is a significant stakeholder in Statoil).
We will be doing a media blitz again for this week's event. Moreover, we will be bringing along banners, placards and flyers.
However, if anyone would like to make their own home made placard STATOIL TO SEA with the Statoil symbol on it, please feel free.
Let's keep this great momentum going!
3. There will be a Shell To Sea stall beside the O Connell monument on Saturday 21.10.06 from noon to 2.00 pm. This action started three weeks ago for the first time.
It has proved very successful and good fun. Please feel free to come along and help out.
The work consists of giving out info about the controversy and handing out flyers.
We are also looking in to the possibility of a big public evening meeting in Ennis with a really good speaker/authority on the controversy from Mayo.
Is it possible for all People of Eire to call a one day General Strike, to remind the Politicians to represent them and Eires interests, then for two days, then for three days etc etc
The Unions have a big role to play in this struggle, as they do in any struggle. They should realistically call for some action. If we had a proper TU leadership, such actions could become a reality.
But the fact is that Jack O'Connor & co. are not exactly just representatives of the working class. A leeching bureacracy has developed at the top of practically every union. The new social-partnership deal highlights this.
Trade Unions are vital to the success of struggles in the future. They must be reclaimed with the leaders replaced by genuine, militant activists. Then, we will see a lot more industrial action in this country.
As a final point, some people point to the Irish Ferries protest to show how the TUs are improving, however this is not the case. Here, the TU leadership were compelled by their membership to take some kind of action. They talked until morning's light in order to make some kind of deal and hold back the protest.
This does, however, show how the ordinary workers can force the leadership to take action. Either that or the leadership and bureacracy will be revealed for what it really is - a chain holding back genuine workers' movements.
