We are facing a radical agenda set by the progressive wing of the educational establishment, says Dr Stephen Curran. We should build on the past 14 years' foundation, not tear it down.

Day-to-day weather, with all its extremes, is "just weather", according to the IPCC. With their authority onside, we can shrug off the BBC's melodramatic climate reports and misinformation, says Mark Ellse.

The sweeping House of Commons reforms proposed by Green MP Ellie Chowns are evidence that the Mrs Dutt-Pauker types have moved from Peter Simple's columns into public life. We're in for a bumpy ride, says Sean Walsh.

Lets get this meme out with all its history and links to thatcherism.
It should only be imposed on the wealthiest public sector on earth. So that Angelal Merkel and the other German working class don't pull the plug on Irish public sector pretentiousness.
But how many people political and otherwise will walk the walk when the server has deliverd the summons and the day in court arrives??And the man says you can pay now or go to jail for however long as you like until you pay this tax!!! Called contempt of court.... Maybe one in a hundred??Most people have too much of a slave mentality ....of ah shure it wont work,or ah shure no point in making a fuss,or as shure somone else will do it! Be intresting to see who sticks to their word,and who will consider a hunger strike once they are banged up ??? Intresting times ahead...
This is what happened at We the Citizens last summer. They decied to tax everyone more!
http://www.irishtimes.com/newspaper/ireland/2011/1213/1....html
We the Citizens is fronted by Mr. Mac Conghail Abbey theatre manager and a Fine Gael appointed Senator. A so-called “citizens’ assembly” was hosted by Mr. Mac Conghail in the modern art gallery in Kilmainham last summer. The agenda was preset by a conservative academic elite think-tank.
A glossy report sent on Friday 13th December to government from the We the Citizens so-called “citizens’ assembly” recommends property and water taxes! The report recommends that its citizens’ assembly be absorbed into the coalition’s proposed Constitution Review Convention.You couldn't make it up.
Elite well funded groups such as the university academic group who set up We the Citizens are part of the problem in Ireland and are definitely not the solution. If they really wanted meaningful change they would have followed the citizens’ assembly model from British Columbia which put its proposals to a referendum and not to government.
People who want change should support grassroots groups such as Occupy, Second Republic, Claiming our Future, etc. They are all pushing for meaningful change in different ways.
