We're a week away from the most painful Budget in history thanks largely to the eye-watering cost of lockdown. Yet Baroness Hallett says next time the Government must be ready to go harder and faster. This is insanity.

It's bad enough that all UK TV users are forced to fund the BBC via a TV licence. But it's worse than that, says Charlotte Gill: millions of pounds of taxpayers' money are handed to the corporation via backdoor channels.

MayDay-Shannon?

category national | miscellaneous | news report author Friday April 25, 2003 16:09author by publo Report this post to the editors

bbb

Just want to moot the point of celebrating MayDay at Shannon this year. Maybe it'd be stretching the original point of RTS but a protest at the continued use of Shannon by the new Occupying army in the mideast would be in keeeping with the trad mayday...

Anyhow, while a protest in Dublin will no doubt be a pro-environment gig and not a bad thing, i Cant help but feel that the celebration would be more apt at shannon both in solidarity with the planespotters and as a direct protest to the Guards/army/ government over the mangling of the UN charter.

The war is continuing after all.

As a frequent flyer with aeroflot* on their Moscow/Havana route, and they being based in shannon and all, i have always associated the word 'mayday' with 'shannon'


unfortunately though, i think its a bit late to arrange anything like the incentive you would need to get everyone out of the dublin pubs.


*interestingly for all irish-speakers out there, they serve 'Ishka' water in-flight
