A typical episode of Cooking With Dog – a hugely popular Japanese cooking show on YouTube.

Not cooking with dog, you understand. Cooking. With Dog.

Chef (who is never named) cooks. Francis sits beside her and translates into English.

pro-life1Should you find yourself in Dublin.

And wish to object to the tactics employed by Youth Defence during its American evangelical Christian right wing-funded advertising blitz across the country?

Or just politely request that more care is used by YD when parking their ad truck close to schools, women’s refuge centres, etc.?

Rebekah McKinney-Perry, Karl Gill and Emer Sugrue write:


Youth Defence posters littered all over the city are not representative of the majority of the country’s views; we cannot be the silent majority any more.
Come along if you can and let Youth Defence know that their actions will not be tolerated any more and we will not let them hold the country to ransom any longer.

The Sinn Féin Summer School in Ballyvourney, Co Cork tonight, tomorrow and Sunday.

Guardian columnist Roy Greenslade and Irish Independent columnist Alison O’Connor will be  discussing the topic: ‘Media ownership – does it matter?’ on Saturday afternoon.

Should be interesting.
