HIV Is an Immigration Rather Than a Health Issue. Why Can?t Starmer Admit This? Mon Dec 09, 2024 13:00 | Nick Rendell
Keir Starmer's pledge to end new HIV cases by 2030 glosses over a crucial truth: it is immigration, not just health, that is driving up HIV infections in the UK, says Nick Rendell.

Visual opposition to Ireland's role in Bush's wars seems to be at a minimum in Dublin. We are struggling to keep our weekly vigil afloat. The DCW & Ploughshares have sustained a weekly downtown vigil against the use of Shannon Airport by the U.S war machine since June 2002. First at the GPO, then at the Aviation Authority (who seemed to have upped their security technology since our sit-ins), now we are back at the GPO.
The problem we have is that we need three people minimum on Mondays from 4pm-6pm. One to maintain the shrine to the war dead and two to hold the "U.S. Military out of Shannon" banner facing O'Connel St. Two of us work shift work at a homeless shelter and the other is a fulltime carer for her elderly father...so we three are not always available.
(We are often joined by Colum who maintains his own visual anti-war display form 4-5)
If you find you can join us for a 2 hour shift on any given Monday text us on 087 918 4552 on the day or the day before.
If you can drop by and join us for 20 minutes or whatever (so we can get a coffee or roll a ciggy or get chat to you while we keep on vigilin'). Please do....there are lots of interesting interactions to have with locals passing by, American tourists and folks from the Middle East. Don't just do something, stand there...and it's amazing how much of the world will come to you.
If you're down Limerick way, Ed & Tim and friends need your support in the work they do around Shannon warport.
