There?s no food getting in so people are starving,? surgeon Tom Potokar says

Plastic surgeons and orthopedic specialists from the UK are based at the Amal and Nasser hospitals in Khan Younis in the south of the territory.
Dr. Tom Potokar, a plastic surgeon specializing in burn injuries, has worked in Gaza 16 times but said this mission had revealed a level of destruction far greater than his last visit in 2023,
It is time to talk about the Out of Control Immigration. Mon Mar 31, 2025 22:12 | imc
For the last few years since the CV19 scamdemic undocumented immigration into Ireland has surged. No one is allowed discuss it because they do not want any rational debate about it. If you do you are labelled an extremist. However this out of control immigration is fully facilitated by the Irish government and the EU and the shady figure behind the Neo Con movement pushing for endless war, wokeism and globalist agenda.

Are there any other stations in that general area that are so well situated for public visibility that can be atrgeted.
Im not professing to have sympathy for Statoil/Shell's franchisees but their cooperation has been impressive at that particular station even though they are being picketed several times a week...
personally I'm in favour of blockading them all again pretty soon - worked well the last time!

I dont have any involvement in the campaign to stop the pipeline, but I wish it the best, any campaign to see Shell get a beating (however minute in comparison to their vast arsenal of finances and resources) is a good one.
In the last while though I've read in the press or here about people talking about the grassroots groundswell of local opinion against politicians in Mayo, including Enda Kenny, who's been conspicuously silent on the matter despite being a public rep for the constituency.
You'll have to forgive my cynicism, but do people really believe that the (majority) right wing constituents of Mayo are going to turf out the parties they've elected year in, year out since the 30's? Admittedly I have a very negative view of rural Ireland as being a backward, insular, oppressive, Catholic place, where people do as they're told, and vote the way they do because that's the way they've always done (and their parents before them).
Just that in previous instances, rural Irish people seem to be happy to elect or celebrate politicians with chequered pasts, e.g. Michael Lowry having his house extension paid for by Ben Dunne yet still topping the poll in the last 2 elections; Bev's slightly unusual banking advice, and of course the latest risible action by the residents of An Daingean to erect a statue of CJ Haughey on the waterfront.
People have long memories when it comes to some things, but forget very quickly too... I dont think I'll be surprised in 2006/2007 when Mayo re-elects FF and FG, again.
I hope this doesnt come across as being too much of a smart-arse, I would like to hear debate about this. After reading so much about how the anti-war movement in the US was a huge grassroots opposition to Dubya on various indymedias and left wing press, I genuinely thought that the republicans would be beaten. It was something of a wake up call to try and read beyond the opinions of certain media circles. As much as I'd love to believe Mayo might revert back to an autonomous 'farmers republic', I dont and I think regardless of what happens to the Rossport 5, the public there will re-elect the same old dinosaurs in a couple of years time.
I understand that politics can be 'waged' outside the realm of elections, and people will argue this, but for this country (for the moment) it is the primary source of political power and decision making - and does to a certain extent reflect the overall political culture of geographical areas, so I'd like to hear responses on this... thanks.
