The power outage in Spain and Portugal wasn't caused by extreme weather, but by an over-reliance on wind and solar. If the UK continues on its headlong path to Net Zero, we can expect similar failures.

An Excess of Pity: Why We Fail to Deport Those Whom We Should Deport Tue Apr 29, 2025 15:00 | Dr David McGrogan
Why do we fail to deport those whom we should deport? It's due in the end, says Dr David McGrogan, to an excess of pity. We are pitying ourselves into disorder and social decay. We need to be willing not to be nice.

Jump To Comment: 1 2 3 4 5 6here is link to some messages from irish people to al jazera
i think i heard that micheal d higgins contacted yasar arafat who promptly made contact with prominent muslims in iraq to try to secure kens release
not sure how things stand at present, whether he will be released or not
http://www.aljazeera.com/cgi-bin/news_service/middle_east_full_story.asp?service_id=4828
generally these are thought to be a good thing, because they're more difficult to read.
He doesn't however have this document in his own keeping, on account of him being abducted by radical monotheist terrorists in the fledgling democracy of Iraq.
if it matters what anyone of us thinks,
it would be good, if all the hostages,
and there are around 100 of them
were released tomorrow.
d higgens etc going on about how ireland isn't in the coalition and and is neutral and the smae time pointing out we're are and we're not??? people say that we shouldn't be asking for it by highlighting whats going on in shannon, they must be ashamed it seems
While it would be good if Ken Bigley could avoid the gruesome fate of other captives Bertie could also attempt to save large numbers of innocents from death.
I would like him to rush out passports to all the children in Fallujah and Sammara in the hope that if the insurgents release Ken then George W might stop the 'surgical' strikes on the increasing numbers of babies and toddlers who seem to have signed up as followers of the insurgency
It has been over a month since the offices and network of Al Jazeera were closed by the government in Iraq, so the passport will be broadcast from neighbouring Qatar.
It is hoped by this gesture, the hostage takers will change their mind about everything on account of us not buying submarines and being the good guys.
As is well known throughout the fledgling democracy, which abounds with fans of Rory Keane, Irish movers and shakers have moved as freely amongst the locals as did two Italian pacifist internationalist aid volunteers who yesterday met the pope.
The pope has called for the release of all hostages without favouring or favoring one nationality over the other, but as yet has not offered holy see diplomatic protection to anyone in the middle east country which is about the size of France.
There have been two irishmen killed since the Iraqi war to disarm Saddam of WMD occured a little over a year ago in neighbouring Saudi Arabia, one BBC camara man and another oil company office worker.
Please note the well-known broadcaster based in Qatar is http://english.aljazeera.net/ and the site at http://www.aljazeera.com is by another group entirely.
