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.

World Kindness Day may have passed you by. But it won't have passed by your children, whose school will have been sure to teach that climate action and open borders are essential elements of 'kindness', says Steven Tucker.

Read what happened when an Extinction Rebellion meeting was disrupted by a protester. Seems they can give it out but have no intention of putting up with it themselves.

 Thursday April 15, 2004 14:06 by Dublin Grassroots Network
Protect the Right to Protest: -Solidarity with Dublin Grassroots Network
Meeting: Sunday April 18th 12 - 5pm -Teachers Club (36 Parnell Sq. West)
The May Day protests have attracted a media feeding frenzy and a series of threats of police repression. This hysteria is geared to intimidating people from joining the protest and justifying the repression of civil liberties.
We are asking people who can't come out at the weekend or don't feel safe doing so to help us out in some other way. There's a meeting this Sunday, and a list of possible actions below if you can't come to that.
If the May Day protests are criminalised this will not just affect us. It will further restrict the scope of peaceful protest within Ireland to what is acceptable to the powers that be. *** Protect the Right to Protest ***
Support Dublin Grassroots Network
Over the last few weeks tabloid scare stories about the May Day protests have gone beyond the bounds of sanity. We've been accused of having arms dumps, a secret army, and planning a bloodbath. These stories are aimed at intimidating ordinary people who might otherwise join protests.
They also justify massive repression of basic civil liberties (stories of 1000 planned arrests, temporary detention centres, preventative detention, "non-lethal weaponry", use of the army against protestors, etc.) If we are driven off the streets on May Day, all forms of democratic protest will suffer.
Our protests are peaceful and the real details are publicly announced on www.geocities.com/eufortress. Our meetings are open to all (the next one's this Sunday - see below) and are announced on www.indymedia.ie and elsewhere. We are ordinary people trying to raise serious issues about Fortress Europe, privatisation, EU militarisation and the lack of democracy in Europe. And we are being treated like terrorists.
WE NEED YOUR SUPPORT!
Please come to the next Dublin Grassroots Network meeting and lend a hand. Even if you are unable or feel too intimidated to come out on May Day, you can help us with publicity, media work, finance or legal support. Teacher's Club (36 Parnell Sq. West), Sunday April 18th, 12 - 5 (come to all or part!) If you can't make it to the meeting, there's a list of other things you can do to help below.
We are going to explain in some detail what we have planned for the various events and look for volunteers to help out on the day. So don't worry if you haven't been to any of the earlier meetings, Sunday's a good time to start!
WHAT CAN I DO?
If you can't come to that meeting but want to help out, any of the following would make a difference:
- Circulate this information to friends who might be interested;
- Print off posters or stickers from our website at www.geocities.com/eufortress and put them up;
- Take some leaflets and distribute them(phone Andrew at 087 9934150);
- Send donations to Chekov Feeney, 46 Upper Gardiner St. Dublin 1;
- Call or text into chat shows that are covering the protests and give your opinion.
It may not seem like much, but it DOES make a difference. If we are isolated on May Day, it will be easier for the media and police to criminalise peaceful protest. The more people who are involved (whether you are with us on the day or helping out), the better.
Protect the right to protest - not just for us, but for everyone!

Jump To Comment: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7I'd encourage those who have thought about going to meeting but not yet done so to get along to this one. We need everyone we can get!
A large number of supporters from across the country will be expected in Dublin for the parade. Anyone who can provide accommodation for one or two nights should help out- not fancy- just a room and basic facilities would be a great help to our fellow supporters. Contact the MayDay committee if you can help
Dear friends,
I am an individual who plans on protesting peacefully.
What is the plan if suddenly elements within our group (perhaps intent only on violence) but still within our group as there is no screening procedure - attack property or persons?
The entire group is at the mercy of the few - what is the response if rogue individuals or sub-groups incite or cause violence?
I am more worried about this than police or army attacks and I'm not the only one. I would actually understand and promote a harsh reaction to an attack from "our side" even if the individuals are purely there to seek such a response and not aligned to a 'cause' per se. Random violence is counter-productive and assinine and should be met with force.
In this regard all could be for nought if we do not police ourselves. It is the enemy within that is more freightening, sometimes.
I know that this view is probably as popular as a fart in a spacesuit in casual circles but I believe it is the biggest fear that protestors have - far greater than a fear of official reprisal. One reaps what one sows.
So - to allay my fears - what are the plans?
Simply saying "behave" and repeating that this is a peaceful march to a large group is all very well until the first rock is thrown even in response to provocation.
Re-assure me and re-assure those who will not protest as they find no common ground with those who inadvertantly cause harm and even death because they are not prepared for reality and blindly tolerate malignant thought and action as it is a 'freedom'.
There is a huge responsibility in protest. A mob is a mob is a mob. An army is an army is an army. No matter what way we cut it on Saturday - action will provoke reaction. Are you prepared for the consequences?
If you look on the grassroots site, they are quite explicit. There will be no stewards in uniform, but everyone is expected to take responsibility for keeping the march peaceful. If you see people carrying weapons, ask them what they're doing, remind them its a peaceful protest, and tell them if they don't want to protest peacfeully, they should go somewhere else. If you're not confident about doing that yourself, talk to the other people around you, and approach as a group.
Given that these policies have been stated before, and are on the relevant sites for anyone who is interested in finding them, this whole 'naive wonderment' thing is a little annoying.
The real aggressors - see link:
You are filth.
We will not react to you on Saturday
You are a bunch of Idiots... Simple as that.
