There were closer to 3000 people protesting against war at Shannon Airport today.

A member of the Socialist Party did a head count during the march and at least 2,900 were on the demo

How do you know that the Socialist Party can count?

Eoin writes that there were TDs from "the Socialists". I think you will find that Joe Higgins is a TD for the Socialist Party, the irish section of the Committee for a Workers' International.

The TDs only have something to go to because everyone else went down there. Stop over emphasizing the attendance of some unimportant knob ends.

OK, can you please take that poker out of your ass and do something constructive with it? You should be happy that the SP is seen as THE "socialists". No-one is caught up in their own importance enough to want to have their party referred to as "the Irish section of the Socialist International" (labour) or "the Irish section of the International Socialists" (swp)...quit being so fucking arrogant, it's not very revolutionary.

"ok", what the hell have you ever done to oppose the war? you have some cheek to be coming on here to correct eoin d., while he's on trial for direct action (and trying to get a challenge in the courts in dublin) you're too concerned with getting the title of your precious little party correct.
