What Happened When Extinction Rebellion Had a Taste of its Own Medicine Fri Nov 21, 2025 17:00 | Anonymous
Read what happened when an Extinction Rebellion meeting was disrupted by a protester. Seems they can give it out but have no intention of putting up with it themselves.

Are the Grooming Gangs a Muslim Phenomenon? Fri Nov 21, 2025 15:00 | Mark Durie
First they were 'Asian' grooming gangs, then 'Pakistani'. But the most important thing to grasp is that almost all of them ? 87% of convictions ? are Muslim, says Mark Durie. This must not be covered up.

Debunking the BBC?s Claim That Pakistan?s Floods Are Made Worse by Climate Change Fri Nov 21, 2025 09:00 | Paul Homewood
If the BBC's Standards Committee, which is reviewing the corporation's coverage of climate change, wants a good example of bias, it should take a look at its report of recent floods in Pakistan, says Paul Homewood.

What matters here is that there is five activists on trial soon for trying to stop Genocide. Literally [sic] happening via Shannon Airport with the Governments knowledge!
Forget the bitchin, the name confusion and look at the issues here. These people have been awaiting trial for nearly three years.
THATS THREE YEARS OF THEIR LIVES!
Who cares what they call themselves. Whether they dress in sackcloth or silk has no relevance. their action says it all. If more people defended our neutrality in this way then all that crap at Shannon would have stopped by now!
Who's country is it after all?
I understand that only three of the five are actually Catholics!!!
It's so confusing.
The Catholic Worker was started in 1933 by Dorthy Day and Peter Maurin setting up houses of hospitality for the homeless, non-violently resisting war, living in community. About 200 houses exist throughout the US. Some in Germany, Britain, Holland, Australia, Canada too.
The Ploughshares Movement was initiated on Sept. 8th 1980 by the Berrigan brothers, Phil and Dan, alongside other activists who disarmed Mark 12-A nuclear missile cones in an attempt to enflesh the prohecy of Isaiah and Micah, 'to beat swords into ploughshares and study war no more'.
Many Ploughshares actions over the past 25 years (about 80) have involved people connected to the Catholic Worker Movement.
For more information on the Ploughshares movement go to
www.plowsharesactions.org
For more information on Dublin Catholic Worker go to www.geocities.com/dublincatholicworker
All five activists on trial, the Pitstop Ploughshares, are connected to the Catholic Worker Movement.
Sometimes they are Catholic Worker sometimes Ploghshares - why?
I'd encourage all to go along, its a big thing whether you agree with the tactic or not that 5 people are goin to face the state like this
Of course Joe meant to say Thursday 6th Oct.

The Catholic Worker 5 are five anti-war activists who disarmed a US warplane in Shannon that was on its way to the war in Iraq. They will be on trial for this act on October 24th. In solidarity the 1st of May branch of the Workers Solidarity Movement are holding a fundraiser to help pay for the costs incurred by these activists due to this action.

DJs etc
Apologies, me wires were crossed!
Thanks Gregor.
Thats great so there will be two nights, a pub quiz and a music night? That makes the story twice as good as it initially was!
It's not going to be a quiz, it'll be a night of music and chat along the lines of the 'Anarchy Nite Cafe' held during the summer, kicking off about 8:30/9:00pm, the purpose being to show both financial and moral solidarity with the Pitstop Ploughshare defendants as they face into their re-trial.
It's going to be a pub quiz. Time not verified but I think around 8.30/9pm. I understand that a flyer is been done up so will be here in due course. Thanks to the WSM for their ongoing solidarity as we journey back through the Four Courts.
Other events prior to the Pitstop Ploughshares retrial in Dublin's Four Courts from Oct. 24th can be followed at the link below.
Could someone please explain why this WSM branch is called the 1st of May branch? I understand the symbolism of may day and the important and indeed vital contribution of anarchists to the day, but I dont understand the desire to call a branch after a day. It would be like a Labour party brach calling itself 1st of April branch because of the contribution that the Irish labour party has made to fools in Ireland.
What time is the benifit and waht type?
