Introduction to ruins

15-06-2006 14:08

Falsified and groundless statements, lost evidences and false oaths are routine in modern Finland. These primitive methods are used today as a torpedo against patient privileges. Finnish Supervision of Legality takes pride of not finding any mistakes in the area, even Minister of Justice admits previously mentioned social ills. At the same time Chancellor of Justice gives reasons for his existence by appealing to the tradition since tsar - A tradition that patients will find very real in modern Finland after facing the form of activity at time of ancient tsar.

15-06-2006 06:41

There was an article on Guardian unlimited by someone called leader, on the police raid and shooting of a young Muslim, which, now appearing to have been based on flimsy intelligence is yet another diesel soaked rag to the anti-western fire burning throughout the Islamic world. The article titled Intelligence needed, which can be read here prompted me to share my views on the matter.

Yorkshire Forward, Matilda and the Discurs of Health and Safety

14-06-2006 23:39

Matilda stays
Now that Yorkshire Forward (YF) has put the dispute over using Matilda to escalation it is important to reflect upon their discursive strategy.
The argument used in this mornings attack on the Social Centre is that health and safety in the building was poor.
By putting forward this argument YF is trying to avoid talking about the real issue of the conflict: Who takes part in the development of the city?

Racism and Imperial Nostalgia at the BBC: an open letter to Andrew Marr

13-06-2006 16:57

PLEASE FORWARD WIDELY TO INTERESTED PARTIES

Open Letter to Andrew Marr, Presenter, Start the Week on Radio 4, the BBC

Dear Andrew,

This is an open letter that I am going to ask the people--many of whom are
prominent academics-- I have copied in to circulate as widely as possible,
to draw the attention of people to the egregious manner in which you dealt
with the follow-up this morning's show on 'The Legacy of Empire'. I am
appalled and shocked at your biased introduction to the evening phone-in.
You use dismissive words like 'blarney', 'aggressive', and 'too much heat'
to describe an impassioned discussion of a painful and traumatic legacy
that didn't fit the genteel upper-class British converation over 'tea and
cucumber sandwiches'model. This then set the tenor for the phone-in that
followed.

Behind the Lies of the Australian Prime Minister

12-06-2006 09:57

It’s not difficult to arrive at an accurate assessment of the present Oz leadership, the government of John Howard. Love Howard or not, he has the local population eating his lies like it was manna from heaven. Howard’s treasurer recently announced that the Oz government was out of debt, in view of a national foreign debt of $493 billion, the highest ever recorded by an astronomical ‘mile’, the announcement of no government debt becomes meaningless double-talk. But which figure does the public prefer to embrace? The lie of course, it’s far more comforting – the media’s emphasis on the treasurer’s remarks at the expense of the horrendous crippling debt is not unintentional.
