The evidence that the Gaza casualty numbers from the Hamas-run Health Ministry (now over 32,000) are wildly inflated continues to mount. Mark Zlochin looks at what the proportions of male and female UNRWA workers tell us.

Don't be fooled by the 'Britain is growing' fairytales, says David Craig. Any 'growth' is accounted for by the hike in the benefits bill and in civil servants' pay and a heap of other unproductive deficit spending.

Climate Change: The Movie, the new film by Martin Durkin, should be shown at every school in the country to disabuse anxious young people of the idea that we're in the midst of a 'climate emergency'.

Sinn Fein show their true colours in SDCC area...

category dublin | bin tax / household tax / water tax | news report author Tuesday February 03, 2004 00:19author by bintaxedtodahilt Report this post to the editors

Another glaring example of Sinn Feinsinactivity on the Bin-Tax issue in the South Dublin County Council area!

Today in various parts of the South Dublin Co. Co. Borough, many bin tax activists (Including myself) were active in trying to thwart the councils plans to leave untagged bins behind. In my particular area we met on the footpath adjacent to the local church.

A Sinn Fein member turned up. As we paced around the area grabbing bags out of untagged bins and dumping them into the back of the trucks, the SF member simply stood on the side of the road staring @ us, every so often making phone calls on his mobile phone.

Repeated requests were made to him that he should help us in our actions, but he sometimes sniggered, other times refused to acknowedge that we were talking to him.

One of the activists then simply told him that if he was simply just gonna stand there @ the side of the road and do nothing else, he should leave. Despite the fact that we managed to ensure that well over 80% of non-tagged bins in the area had their rubbish disposed of in the back of the bin truck, the SF member proceeded to tell us that it was a 'farce', and 'yis are doing nothing', only for him to then say ' I came here to help yis', so we, exhasperated with his actions by this stage, once again asked him to help us dispose of peoples rubbish - he still point blank refused to join us in dumping rubbish into the back of the truck.

In my opinion, the actions of this fellow today, sums up to a 'T' SF's attitude towards the bin tax in the South Dublin Borough. They claim they are active in the campaign, but when the going gets tough, they are NOWHERE to be seen (Escept staring @ campaigners getting ACTIVELY involved in the campaign, as our intrepid amigo saw himself today, as he looked on & nothing else)
