offsite link The Contradiction in the Covid Inquiry?s Use of Modelling Sat Nov 29, 2025 17:00 | Dr Carl Heneghan and Dr Tom Jefferson
The Covid Inquiry states ministers failed to grasp the shortcomings of models, but then asserts that 23,000 people died because lockdown was late. It's an absurd contradiction, say Carl Heneghan and Tom Jefferson.

The 2015 Zika scare turned out to be a false positive debacle, says Dr Randall Bock. But that hasn't stopped the Lancet to this day pushing the lie of a 'Congenital Zika Syndrome' to replace it.

offsite link Why Are Our Schools Such Violent Cesspits? Sat Nov 29, 2025 11:00 | Joe Baron
There were 150 stabbings in schools last year, while four teachers suffered an amputation. There's a reason why our schools are such violent cesspits, says Joe Baron: because perpetrators are always treated as victims.

As white British look with increasing anxiety to a future as a minority in their own homeland, Professor Michael Rainsborough asks if Malaysia's system of native protection offers a model to avert violent conflict.

Boots Loots Workers Pay

category antrim | worker & community struggles and protests | event notice author Wednesday September 28, 2011 14:27author by PRO - SIPTU Report this post to the editors

SIPTU

Boots workers have been left with no option but to hold a protest in response to their premium pay being reduced and have organised a day of action outside the companies store in Donegall Place, Belfast on Saturday 8th October from 12 til 2pm. We ask you to come along and show your support for their demands to have basic terms and conditions of employment re-instated.

We do not understand the decision by Boots to lower premium pay and slash terms and conditions; after all it’s the hard work, professionalism and loyalty of Boots workers that has helped the company earn over £1billion in profits last year. A highly profitable company should be rewarding their workers, not punishing them.

Working alongside their union SIPTU, they are taking a stand and campaigning to reverse this ruthless decision by Boots. We ask you the public to assist us, by supporting the days of action, signing our online petition at www.petitiononline.com/bootloot/petition.html and crucially registering your complaint with senior management in Boots.

In these tough economic times employers are increasingly trying to erode rights in the workplace that were hard fought for, we cannot allow this to happen. If a highly profitable company like Boots can get away with this, you can expect other unscrupulous employers to follow suit. Their fight is your fight. Let us stand together.
