![]() Marlboro Man Not Welcome Here · No Prescriptions for Profit Demonstration at EU/US Health Ministers’ Meeting at Rochestown Park Hotel, Cork on Tuesday 11th May at 10am The US Secretary of Health, Tommy Thompson, and EU Health Ministers will find themselves the subject of a noisy protest when they gather in Cork next Tuesday 11th May for a meeting in Rochestown Park Hotel. The coalition of campaigning groups and political parties which has called the demonstration has adopted the slogan "No Prescriptions for Profit", and intends to embarrass Health Minister Micheál Martin for daring to invite warmonger Tommy Thompson and his UK counterpart, John Reid, to a health conference at the very moment their troops continue to pile up the corpses and wounded in Iraq. |

And a few of us don't have jobs, just as you suspected. What's that got to do with you? Back to bed, John.
So, you are having a demo at 10am on a Tuesday. Don't any of you activists ever go to work like the rest of the population? Or are you all on welfare? And what's this obsession you have with noise? Every demo you have is now accompanied by idiotic drum-banging and whistle-blowing, as loud as possible. I thought you environmentalists were against noise pollution. Don't you worry about the effect all this noise will have on the local pet population? Plus, if you continue with such noise demos, you'll eventually make yourselves go deaf.
This demo was initiated and is supported by the Cork Anti-War Campaign and Anti-War Ireland. We are asking all anti-war activists and supporters to make a special effort to participate.
Remember: Tommy Thompson is a member of the Bush cabinet and has played a direct role in the attack on Iraq and its people.
Any chance of a place to stay for those of us coming to Cork?
I'm coming from Kerry - can't wait. Dig the logo.
