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.

Taxpayers Are Charged for the BBC Whether They Like it or Not Sat Nov 22, 2025 11:00 | Charlotte Gill
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.

The Labour movement in Sligo will mark May Day with a ceremony at the site of the former home of the great Sligo Labour leader John Lynch, in Lower New Street, Sligo.
The ceremony, which will include the unveiling of a memorial plaque on the site, will be held at 9.00.p.m.on this Thursday evening the 1st of May.
Speakers at the event will include the Chairman of the Sligo branch of SIPTU, Mr John Maree, the President of the Sligo Council of Trade Unions, Mr Hugh MacConville and Labour Party Alderman Declan Bree.
The late John Lynch, was a founder member and first branch secretary of the Sligo ITGWU in 1911. A trusted colleague of James Connolly he helped organise the union in many parts of the country including Derry, Waterford and Limerick.
Lynch was first elected to Sligo Corporation 90 years ago, in January 1913. In March/April/May of the same year he led the workers in the famous Sligo Dock Strike.
He was Mayor of Sligo in 1931,1932 and 1933 and played a leading role in the Labour, Trade Union and political life of Sligo and the North West until his death in 1939.
May Day festivities will continue later in the evening in the Sligo United Trades Club in Castle Street with a ‘celebrate May Day’ session of song, dance, music and poetry.
Protest-vigil at Dutch embassy Thursday May 1, 11am-1pm
40 years ago on May 1st, 1963, the Indonesian flag was raised over West Papua, marking the annexation of West Papua and the brutal suppression of a nation. Formerly run by the Netherlands and for seven months by the United Nations, the world community turned a blind eye as the West Papuans were sacrificed to the interests of “real-politik” and corporate greed.
The question of West Papua is unfinished business for both the United Nations and the Netherlands. The Netherlands continues to be silent on the on-going genocide in West Papua, as it seeks to maintain “cordial” political and economic relations with its former colony, Indonesia.

“NETHERLANDS COMPLICIT IN GENOCIDE"
Vigil at Netherlands Embassy to mark 40th anniversary of Indonesian Takeover of West Papua

40 years ago on May 1st, 1963, the Indonesian flag was raised over West Papua, marking the annexation of West Papua and the brutal suppression of a nation.
Formerly run by the Netherlands and for seven months by the United Nations, the world community turned a blind eye as the West Papuans were sacrificed to the interests of “real-politik” and corporate greed.
The question of West Papua is unfinished business for both the United Nations and the Netherlands.
The Netherlands continues to be silent on the on-going genocide in West Papua, as it seeks to maintain “cordial” political and economic relations with its former colony, Indonesia.
When East Timor was taken over by Indonesia in 1975, its former colonizer, Portugal, spoke out and supported self-determination for East Timor. However, the Netherlands has stayed silent on the question of West Papuan self-determination, and thus, as a central party, is directly complicit in genocide.
West Papua, north of Australia, is the western half of New Guinea island. At least 100,000 West Papuans have been killed since 1963. Some observers have put the figure as high as 300,000.

There will be a West Papua-Ireland ceremony and tribal council on the hill of Uisineach to mark the coming of summer, the season and fertility of Beltaine which begins today.
Three different times have been given for the march. IAWM say 6.30 pm, SF say 7.30pm but the Dublin Council of Trade Union leaflets say 7 pm.
Don't forget...
Reclaim the streets of dublin,
dublin, dublin
Reclaim the streets of dublin,
Feck the guards!
The Cork May Day March takes place today (Thursday, 1st May) at 5.30pm. Assemble at Connolly Hall at 5.30pm.
The Cork Peace Alliance will be participating in this year's May Day march and the anti-war message will be a central one from the May Day rally.
Supporters of the tribal people of Indonesian occupied West Papua will visit the ancient ceremonial site of Uisineach in Co. Westmeath for a May Day (or ‘Beltaine’) ceremony and council.

Who are you reclaiming the streets from???
And why on a bank holiday monday???? defeats the purpose, plonkers, this should be on today or tomorrow...someone's probably gone and spoken with the cops to make sure things aren't too secret. Is RBB in on this too???
Bet he is, or his twin... or doppleganger
Why don't you do it today, or tomorrow, or whenever you like for that matter, nobody's stopping you and you can be as rad as you like. You can even be your very own Rich boy!
If you want to make suggestions and criticisms about our events, our meetings are open to all, so you can get involved. For some reason I don't think that we take these type of anonymous criticisms on indy too seriously.
you guys are a bunch of wasters. you don't understand real world politics and economics at all. you should travel and see the world then you will see why globalisation is right and good. by the way, the war in iraq was good too, its a shame that the anti war movement is so racist : white people can be free from tyranny, but its ok for Iraqis to be brutalised by Saddam. Get a life.
Hope the guards kick the shit out of the May 5th people, deserve it interrupting everyone elses day. selfish ignorant bastards.
From an Irish Muslim.
are also the May 6th people.
before you hit someone on the head or kick the shit out of them think about their tomorrow.

is NOT intended to be a riot. It is a free party for anyone and everyone. All welcome. I'm pretty sure with the media coverage of last year, the gards will be on their best behavior.
I think its a disgrace you people just taking over the city like that, hellbent on causing chaos. You should be ashamed of yourselves.
Why not have a 'Free Party' which is properly organised and policed for the benefit of EVERYONE not just you people!!
For God's sake, someone could get hurt!!
Or is that the plan???

Annie-Body: "Why not have a 'Free Party' which is properly organised and policed for the benefit of EVERYONE not just you people!!"
That's exactly what happens.
This one made me smile. I can't understand why someone could get so upset because a few people dance, socialise, entertain and be entertained for a few hours on a bamk holiday.
Don't believe the hype. It's a party, not a protest and definitely not a protest.
I Am a small dead gaot.
And i like to eat liver on a regular basis.
kill animals
make borders everywhere
Buy lots of land
Keep imigrants out
eat cheese
Why did the wombles name them selves
after small fury cute hairy creatures
Yeah clever cloggs,
and when your mother gets raped who'll catch the rapist.

ie. partying
