For the last few years since the CV19 scamdemic undocumented immigration into Ireland has surged. No one is allowed discuss it because they do not want any rational debate about it. If you do you are labelled an extremist. However this out of control immigration is fully facilitated by the Irish government and the EU and the shady figure behind the Neo Con movement pushing for endless war, wokeism and globalist agenda.

On the issue of press releases it seems to me that they should be carried on indy media, if, it is a new story that is not covered in the main stream media or if it adds a particular slant to a story.
Political parties fire out press releases at a huge rate so to carry them all may well pose a problem.
On the issue that began this thread and the prospects for working together on the issue I do not see a problem. The SP and the LP have important differences in programme and tactics but this does not rule out working towards a common aim on issues.
Why do the SP have to attack a Labour statement on Child Abuse??????????
Is it not something we can oppose and work together against? Why must the SP use every thread to attack the Labour Party?
I don't think a press release from the Sp is very important in this case. I think that kind of opportunism would just be a little nasty. Walking on peoples pain like that. Because in the end a press release sent out just to prove we are anti child abuse is well to be honest ridiculas. Its a shame the debate on indymedia has come down to this level. We released a press release and you didn't - therefore you are...which is whats being said.
My point to labour is:
labour stop supporting Finnia Fail and I will take you seriously as a left party untill you stop supporting FF and FG every chance you get, to me every attack you make on them is sheer hypocrasy. Sorry if this sounds bad but that at the end of the day is what it boils down too. Don't critize those you will hop into bed with at the next election. I'm waiting for the press release that tells us Labour won't go into coalition with FG and FF, that would be news.
So itsd okay to attack Labour PRs but its nasty to attack SP PRs!
Four legs good!
Two legs bad!
if the SP had not released a press statement. However, I don't think they would bother wasting their time posting it here, particularly given the level of abuse that normally passes for comment on indymedia.
Why are the SP afraid of other peoples opinions? I'm not fooled by Champagne socialist, its typical of the attacks some members of the SP launch on Labour. I'm still waiting for a SP press release on the issue.
It's not about clerics fiddling with altar boys. It's about the abuse (physical and sexual) of children in state-owned institutions like Daingean and Letterfrack. These detention centres were owned by the state, but run by religious orders like the Christian Brothers. Trying to reduce a complex and important news story to "clerics fiddling with altar boys" is the work of the tabloid press. It has no place on an (ostensibly) respectable site like Indymedia.
I'm not in any way linked with the Socialist Party. I'm not even a socialist. The paranoia of some of the Labour Party supporters on this site is remarkable.
PS: If Fianna Fail started publishing their day-old press releases on this site, would they be deleted or left here? If the answer is left here, then I admit that I shouldn't have called for the removal of the Labour propaganda. However, I doubt that regular indymedia users would come back if the site was polluted with FF propaganda, so why is Labour PR allowed to remain?
while every one is squabling the point is being missed. The dep. of education prevented the tribunal from getting to the facts, and we as tax payers are supposed to pay for the churches abuse.
coming respectfully as an old labour supporter (up to 92 after that I couldn't any more) its no good attacking other parties when we all know they'll jump in bed with them as soon as the chance comes. When labour breaks from finna fail and Fine Gael they'll get support back until then I'm afraid I'll vote for joe higgins. But my vote is on loan as soon as labour becomes independent i'm back. but until then i'm voting for joe because he's more labour than labour themselves. so waiting for you labour.
Is there a chance that people would stick to the point? This is about clerics poking about with altar boys, and the failure of the state and its agencies to deal with the problem.
It is not about the merits or demerits of one political faction or another.
I would point out that there is no evidence that the person asking for this post to be removed is a sp member.
In reply to is any sick of the labour party:
I think an easy deduction from this thread is People are more sick of the millies than labour wow that is bad- when a mixture of anarchists and socialists find you lot as a bad as the labour party
This person was also linked to the Kincora scandal. Lets have an investigation, if the Church can be held accountable then so can Socialites.
At least Labour are tackling the issue - is it beneath the SP or something, that they won't comment on the issue? I see nothing on socialistparty.net about Laffoy.
You are the ones who post the most propaganda on this site. if Labour didn't post here you'd be moaning that they thought they were above indymedia and do not agree with inclusiveness.
At the rate you are going you'll still be a cult in 10 yrs time. Is it true you pray to joe higgins at night?
The judge in charge of the enquiry into child abuse by state and religous run institutions has resigned because she claims the department of education and the catholic church are not co-operating and especially that the department of education decided to ammend the terms of reference for the commission (even though they themselves are being directly investigated)
The government have since denied that they were not co-operating saying that they had furnished the enquiry with all the relevant documents (over 500 thousand of them) (though what exactly is a document?) But "justice" laffoy complained that it had taken over 18 months for these documents to be handed over. (liam lawlor anybody?)
The government had also refused to grant the commission more resources so thay would be able to interview more than one of the 1400 abuse survivors at a time thereby cutting down on the time it would take to complete the enquiry, meanwhile Noel Dempsey has argued that the reason for changing the terms of reference in the first place (diluting the power of the commission) was because the time frame for completion was too long (up to 11 years)
Since I don't read the mainstream corporate-propaganda press anymore, I am unaware of this story. Can someone provide a very short summary as to the background to it.
Of course you will be the one who decides which is propaganda! There are plenty of press releases on Indymedia, there is even a section in the post heading for them. Why havent you objected to press releases before?
Why dont you debate the issue? Have you a vested interest in hushing up child abuse???
The same difference between journalism and propaganda.
This deserves to be discussed on Indymedia no matter who started up the thread. There has been no previous posting regarding the resignation on indy. Why would anyone want it deleted?
I'll back with a considered contribution later.
This is the sort of sectarianism that occurs whenever a LP article is published here. Of course the SP hack will deny that he is a member.
posting yesterday's press releases on this website. This shite story has been all over the mainstream news for the past 24 hours. Delete please.
