Britain?s Judiciary is Biased to its Core Tue Sep 23, 2025 20:08 | Dr David McGrogan
The Court of Appeal overturned the closure of Epping's migrant hotel because Britain's judiciary is biased to its core, says Dr David McGrogan. The Right must get to grips with this problem ? and fast.

The Exaltation of the Cross Tue Sep 23, 2025 15:00 | Chris Larkin
Church leaders are too quick to condemn Tommy Robinson and the Unite the Kingdom march, says Chris Larkin. We don't know what Jesus would have made of our politics, but we can?t just assume he?d have been a Lib Dem voter.

"Green MEP Patricia McKenna yesterday expressed fears that the Gardai would not be able to cope if the protests turned violent."
And, referring to the garda riot at the Reclaim the Streets' May Day protest, Patricia McKenna's main concern: 'I just fear that the whole scale of the event will be too much for the Gardai to handle.'
can short summarys be posted from different groups who will participate in these "anti globalisation/ capitalist" protests stating
-their reasons for protest
-what and who exactly they are protesting against
-what they propose as an alternative
-what other things are they doing to combat those issues they are opposed to
i ask this as there are many people who are new to this area and just starting to deal with the issues of "globalisatiobn"
helpful links also appreciated

At a recent business lunch in Dublin hosted by the American Chamber of Commerce Ireland, BP Chairman and World Trade Organisation (WTO) guru, Peter Sutherland was guest speaker.
"Next year during Irelands EU presidency we must ensure that a common defence policy is reached and Ireland accepts its responsibility as a global player."
Thats Peter at work lobbying the lobbyists (ACCI and the assembled guests) to lobby the Irish govt.
So I presume its going to be on the menu.
Elsewhere, Forfas the industry development advisory group to the Minister of Enterprise, Trade & Employment says
Within our membership of the EU, Ireland should support the widespread application of the WTO trade disciplines as defined by GATS (General Agreement on Trade in SERVICES), to trade in audio-visual SERVICES, computer software SERVICES and transport SERVICES.

'Ireland will never have seen anything on the scale of this,'
30 or 40 thousand?
Really? Didn't we have about 3 or 4 times that number last February 15th?
Still, it's something to look forward to.
I should have looked at it properly. The report said 20 to 30 thousand, so in fact we had 4 or 5 times as many back in Feb.
Still, Y'all come.
if the beatings dished out onn rts mayday 2002 was preparation for this event. it seems today could be last chance for them for practice beatings on more innocent peaceful individuals?
see you at 5 @ the spike
The journo obviously did no research. He claimed that GR organised Genoa and Gothenburg!!!
I'd take the 20,000 - 30,000 with a kingsize pinch of salt. It was a figure produced off the top of Joe C.'s head. Considering that they had 20 - 30 people on their last march, I think it is very much wishful thinking.
hi from scotland.
okay, gr can be taken with a pinch of salt for now, but this sounds like a gret excuse to visit dublin again to me...
There were 44 people on the Globalise Resistance march from the Central Bank to the Coca-Cola headquarters on Baggot Street. I had photos but deleted them accidentally off the camera. I counted the crowd 4 times just to be sure.
what did you expect them to say? "well I think we'll have just the usual suspects; the swp...ah i mean GR, the SP, GP, anarchists and random punters"
Its a propaganda battle.
As for "ireland never seeing anything like this before" - while i agree that feb 15 saw many times that on the streets, that was an anti-war protest. If, if, IF 20,000 people march against the EU (who largely 'opposed' the war) then that will be hugley significant - especially if most of those are Irish.
I agree that the journo did fuck all research and it was a dreadful article. Still, at least it made the paper.
There was a much worse article by that twat Henry McDonald about how the far-left (who he refers to as the Marxist-Leninsts - MLs) 'hijacked genuine concerns'. I have never read such trash in my life. He also, falsely, claims that the MLs want an end to Israel. While this may be the case with the SWP, the SP certainly do not believe this. Obvioulsy the research dept at the Observer is vastly underfunded.
Also he calls Anti-Imperialism simple 'anti-americanism'.
This is his worst article yet. I used to think the observer was 'decent' enough paper (as far as establishment papers go), but having read Will Huttons book, and most recently his editorial that concluded "partnership is the way forward for the unions" I don't think I'll be buying it again.
