Keir Starmer has sparked fury by pledging to recognise a Palestinian state even though critics say it rewards Hamas, angers Israel and the US and won't help hostages or feed Gaza's starving.

Britain's North Sea could have 14 billion barrels of oil and gas ? three times what the Government reckons ? but sky-high taxes and drilling bans are leaving it in the ground while jobs and cash go begging.

The Met Office might struggle to predict the weather, but it seems staff can always count on a downpour of cash: they walked away with record bonus payments of ?8.1 million last year and ?31.5 million over five years.

Now he's dead, the truth about Purple Aki can finally be said, says Steven Tucker. A forerunner of all the sex-offending migrants that judges make excuses for, he targeted children in Liverpool for decades.

IAWM protest against US navy on wednesday

category dublin | anti-war / imperialism | event notice author Tuesday May 18, 2004 17:37author by David Report this post to the editors

E-mail sent by IAWM

"Emergency Protest East Link Bridge on Wednesday 19th May at 6pm

The Irish Anti-War Movement condemns the arrival of the USS La Salle,
from the US Sixth Fleet into Irish waters. The ship is stationed in
Alexandria Basin on a supposedly "goodwill visit" and claims that its
area of responsibility includes the North Atlantic.

The IAWM further notes that the missile system on the USS La Salle is capable
of firing 3,000 uranium bullets per minute. Depleted uranium weaponry
has brought an increase in cancer rates in both Iraq and the Balkans."

The E-mail fails to describe what format the protest will take. The potential for very vocal civil disobedience at rush hour on the busiest road in the country is massive.

It could prove very effective if undertaken as a direct action. On the other hand, the leadership of IAWM might only want to leaflet the cars or something equally passive.

I think that people have a right to know what they will be expected to do if they turn up tomorrow to protest against the U.S. military and i am calling for the IAWM/SWP to clarify what the plans for tomorrow are.
