Rossport Five : Shell to Sea/SWP activists blockade Statoil Station in Galway City.

All Quiet on the Statoil Front

For six hours today, Shell to Sea - their ranks swelled with activists from Amnesty International, SWP, Green Party, SP and Global Women's Strike, the latter in the formidable/venerable form of Margaretta D'Arcy - mounted a protest/petition/info table on William Street and that over, joined the 90 minute SWP organised picket/blockade of the Newcastle Statoil Service Station and we closed the fucker down - at least until the arrival of some amiable Gardai.

With Saturday's National Rossport Five demo spurring us on, a six hour stint is planned for William Street tomorrow and a further four hours on Saturday morning.

We were looking for an Ogoni and ended up with an African man, fair play to him, disgusted at Shell's murderous record in Nigeria.
