The 77th Brigade Spied on Lockdown Sceptics, Including Me Sun Jan 29, 2023 15:00 | Toby Young
Various state agencies, including the 77th Brigade, spied on lockdown sceptics, according to Big Brother Watch. Incredibly, the Government convinced these agencies that critics of its polices are enemies of the state.

How Scotland Became the Wokest Country in the World Sun Jan 29, 2023 13:00 | Nick Dixon
Increasingly, Scotland looks captured by woke activists, preaching a new religion of progressive madness that is at odds with most of its population. Just how did Scotland become the wokest country in the world?

Nigel Biggar's book, which concludes the British Empire was not all bad, appears to have been cancelled by Bloomsbury due to ?public feeling?. Is this another example of the woke takeover of publishing?

Are We the Mainstream Media Now? Sun Jan 29, 2023 09:00 | Nick Dixon
The mainstream media largely ignored the recent Project Veritas Pfizer exposé, yet it has already received tens of millions of views on Twitter. So who is the real mainstream now? asks Nick Dixon.

Jump To Comment: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14I hate to sound like im trying to de-motivate people,this is not my aim but realistically i cannot think this will change anything,unless government buildings are stormed and more people turn out..
Other than that it will be another low turnout run-of-the-mill protest...
Saturday is a good day for more people to turn out,including the workerbees,but i cannot help but think these people would rather stay in their consumer slumber going to starbucks and brown thomas or whatever...
I think if there is a good turnout then the FF / FG / Lab scumbags will experience fear for their seats at the next election.
This may motivate them to reconsider this disastrous policy.
That is the hope here I think. Although I do understand rua's disillusionment with protest, I still believe that a huge turnout on this crucial issue would have a very real effect because of looming elections.
Everyone in the capital that can should put aside whatever they are doing and try to come out
to register their disgust at government policy and handling of this fundamental issue.
Come on folks, lets put some real electoral fear into these self serving neoliberal Bastards
nothing on for weeks then two crucial protests on the one day
Why did this event have to clash with the shannonwatch protest on 11th??
What hope is there if we can't even co-ordinate in this simple manner
or worse, was it deliberate?
The thing that alarms me most is that people will be scared and bullied into giving their PPSN - Hats off to Michael (& Beverly) O'Connor of Limerick for refusing to give it up to them - See the story in the limerick leader: link given below. He is threatened with €150 extra charge on their bill AND no 30000 litres allowance .. wait for it ... just for refusing his PPSN !!? What sort of NAZI bastard demands this of them/him? And come to think of it Irish water is some bastard isnt it This case It should be brought to a court of human (or civil) rights in Le Hague And may that same court hang the bastard who set IW up
Fantastic turnout but why oh why were there NO posters in BAC advertising the event.
Me thinks that lack thereof shaved about 20 per cent off turnout.
You say the demo was smaller because of the lack of posters, but as I understand it the Dublin Council made it ILLEGAL to erect posters, with the obvious intent that Lefty demos would be starved of publicity.
Belfast council now has same policy - amazing seeing walls without posters now! It's not that activity doesn't go on, just harder to organise, more nline.
Organisers of the anti water charges march today were delighted with the massive turnout and it exceeded their expectations. Depending on who quotes the figures it varies, but it looks like at least 50,000+ showed up and possibly alot more. Obviously government bodies play down this figures.
garda / RTE lowballing the figure at 30k

De-motivate?! Well to all of the doubters, this was one of the most amazing events I have ever witnessed! Total unity and steadfast objection to threats and bully boy tactics, finally, the Irish Tax payer has found it's long lost back bone, I was there and it was huge! People are thoroughly pissed off with being the target of Europe and our spineless, kowtowing Government.
Be in no doubt, people are very much motivated and this is not over by a long chalk.
Pay up or register if you want to but leave those choosing to do otherwise to do what they think is best!

Denis o brien - He's the guy infamous for the esat dodgyphone deal and who owns loads of our newspapers and who bought Irish Water partner "siteserv" water meter installation company which "magically" won the contract over Siemens (which offered a much better deal) and who got an "equally magical" 100 million bank debt writeoff for siteserv essentially paid for by taxpayers.
Anyhow, Denis O'Briens toilet paper substitute newspaper, the indo had this to say today:

Yeah right, opinion polls and a huge mass demonstration of motivated angry public opinion pouring onto the streets before elections had absolutely nothing to do with it. Not to mention the unexpected election of left wing socialist candidate Paul Murphy.
Keep up the fight people. Lets escalate this. They know they are on a loser here. Clearly we CAN change things when we finally get up off our asses and hit the streets. It would be a mistake to settle for these FG "plan B concessions", all very easily reversed after election time.
Best to comprehensively kick out these right wing bastards. Because they have demonstrated time and again that they just cannot be trusted at all and they don't give a shit about the ordinary people of Ireland who are clearly struggling.
They (FG/FF/Lab) exist now merely as service providers for the rich and to do the bidding of an increasingly neoliberal and hawkish EU (which has completely lost it's way - google "TTIP" and witness anti russian propaganda and lunatic sanctions re ukraine) and to get high paying gigs for themselves and their party cronies. Kick them out.

Charlie just on a point of information; we got DCC's 'ban' on posters overturned in 2007.
There is now in place a protocol for groups who put up posters to advertise events on lamposts in Dublin. Hopefully the Nov 1 protest will be advertised in this way as well as social media, mix the old and the new forms of advertisement and we will get the maximum turnout.
A lot of the 60 yrs plus age group do not be on social media so fingers crossed that the organisers remember them this time.
Lets keep the pressure on so that these politicians get the message that their time has come to exit.
