Senior Garda Clerkin of Store Street Garda Station not wearing a number at the Disco Disco eviction

Plus ca change, plus de la meme chose...

It seems as if nothing at all has changed from the RTS Mayday demo in 2002. The Garda are STILL walking around without their identification numbers on their shirt shoulders.

This particular Garda initially refused to give his name (I have it on tape if anyone's interested) but when it was pointed out to him he did not have his ID number, and people demanded to know his identity, he gave his name as a Garda Clerkin of Store Street station.

Is this regular practice for the Garda?

Also here's a little collage of the friendly faces at the eviction today.

There was a report today in the Evening Herald about "anti-globalisation" (yawn) protesters getting ready to cause "anarchy" in October at the WEF. Who are the real thugs, causing trouble, or helping those who do?
