An A&E Nightmare That Exposes the NHS as Anything But the ?Envy of the World? Mon Dec 15, 2025 20:00 | Shane McEvoy
The NHS is often said by politicians to be the 'envy of the world'. But after a 48-hour odyssey through A&E to get an urgent scan for suspected appendicitis, Shane McEvoy is convinced nobody anywhere is envying us.

The Covid Inquiry is Instantiating Lies That Make it Worse Than No Inquiry At All Mon Dec 15, 2025 17:53 | Will Adie
The Covid Inquiry has allowed itself to degenerate into a cudgel to flog the Tory government of Boris Johnson. But an inquiry that instantiates a lie is worse than no inquiry at all, says Will Adie.

Labour Has Gone Beyond Lying to Bullshitting Mon Dec 15, 2025 13:32 | Sean Walsh
As he entered Downing Street, Keir Starmer told us he would "tread more lightly" on our lives. In 18 months Labour has gone from merely lying to bullshitting, losing all attachment to reality, says Sean Walsh.

Consider the 10 Euro a Solidarity Price - as it says above money raised goes towards the cost of putting on this year's Dublin Anarchist Bookfair so it'll be 10 Euro well spent. For unwaged the suggested donation is 6 Euro
Will the film be available through torrent or other file sharing methods after the screening for those of us unable to attend?
Mark.
PS Good luck with the screening.
highly recommended
gwan scooter - put it on the web after the screening and the fair trade gun one which is even better imo
That photo has to be a photoshop job
Doesn't it?
Well done bwoy!
That picture has to be photoshopped... but I don't think it is- it looks real enough to me! Hope I can make it to this.
It's Scooter!?
its 100% photoshopped. light sources colour shape everything is totally wrong and if you go in close on scooters neck you can see the lasso marks! doh
good attempt though :)
Joder!!!
I can just see scooter n dubya blemmin around leeside in the Hi Ace!!!!!
The photo is from Bush's meeting with young German professionals in Mainz on February 23rd 2005.

It doesn't look like a photoshop to me. It's definitely not obvious anyway.
Looking at the Exif data (hidden in all digital photo's) I can confirm that the image in question was taken on
2005.02.23 @ 16:48 so there is no question that it is genuine.
It was run through Adobe Photoshop CS2 running on a Microsoft Windows System on the 2006.03.11 @ 14:14.
As best I can tell all that was done was to the image on it's journey through PS was the standard contrast colour etc . There are no layers nor has any external data been added or removed
"its 100% photoshopped. light sources colour shape everything is totally wrong and if you go in close on scooters neck you can see the lasso marks! doh

Mr Lasso tool,
Feel free to check the files I have uploaded as proof that you are just being an ass.
/edit: the 2nd file I generated weighs in at over 10MB , I was looking at the pixels/contrast over their shoulders and I found nothing wrong. At best I can reduce it to about 1.5MB and upload it some where else because it's far to large for Indy to handle as an attachment.

It's scooter alright but whos the langer beside him?
Hope to get down on Fri
Any website, trailer? for the film
Bascially - bring your own fiddle, bring your uillean pipes and your guitars because the Trad. session will be one of your own making.
We will also have a peoples republic of disco - where you bring along the song on a cd that you want to hear and it will be added to playlist - and you can bop to your hearts content.
We are dropping the admission cost to a suggested donation of a €5 but don't let that stop you giving more. We want to create a society where we do away with the concept and presence of money but
in the here and now - this Bookfair is costing in excess of €2,000.
So please come to the fund raiser and make it a fun night and help make it as successful as the last two have been.

"The website Narco News has revealed a US private security company is connected to a controversial Mexican police training video that showed officers practicing techniques critics say amount to torture. Two employees of the Florida-based company Risks Incorporated are seen in the video. One of the employees of Risks Incorporated, Jerry Wilson, is seen dragging a Mexican agent through his own vomit. Another employee of Risks Incorporated in the video is identified as Gerardo Arrechea, a Cuban Mexican who has ties to the anti-Castro militant group Commandos F4."
