Who's a Danger? Matt SiegfriedBernadette Devlin McAliskey was deported from the United States on February 21st as a danger to the American people. How absurd. How scandalous. Bernadette has, if anything, been a champion of the American people, as they actually exist. Not the cowboys in the White House and the bigots in the board rooms, but working class people, black people, women, immigrants and dissidents. [Fourthwrite: Who's a Danger?]

Not In Our Name, Bertie and Gerry Brendan YoungAs a member of the Labour Committee on Ireland I helped organise the meeting at which Gerry Adams addressed delegates to the 1983 Labour Party Conference in Brighton. The LCI campaigned in the Labour Party for British withdrawal from Ireland. Central among its arguments was that withdrawal was the application of the socialist and democratic principle of the right of nations to self-determination: that nations should have the liberty to form and choose governments free from external rule or domination.

Idiots and lunatics Áine ni BhrianVoters who have special needs - those with physical or mental disabilities - have been able to vote in the past. But this year, people with learning disabilities or their carers are being asked to provide confirmation that they have "sufficient mental capacity" to exercise that right before they can be placed on the register.

The Right to Vote Áine ni BhrianPolitical manipulation by the British government and its unionist counterparts is nothing new in the Six Counties. Republicans have seen it all - unionist gerrymandering, electoral manipulation, a judicial system that caters to an exclusionist political agenda - and over the years they have challenged the status quo with steadfast determination.
