It's hard to tell the difference these days between genuine news stories relating to 'anti-racist' ? or, more realistically, anti-white ? ideas and the spoofs and fakes. Pit your wits against our Easter quiz.

The ozone hole scare of the 1980s and the banning of CFCs was the template for the subsequent alarm promoting Net Zero. Yet the ozone hole is now back as large as ever, even after a 35-year CFC ban.

Protest at Dublin City Council over ban on advertising Rossport 5 march

Dublin city council silences campaign

Protest 1.15pm Friday 30th September, Dublin City
Council Civic Offices Wood Quay; Free speech for
Rossport five campaign: lift the ban.


Dublin city council has effectively banned
advertising for Saturday's Rossport Five national
demonstration in Dublin. It is now 92 days since the five mayo men went to prison for protecting their lives and those of their families and neighbours. The Shell to Sea campaign in Dublin has been legally erecting posters which advertise Saturday's public rally around the streets of Dublin.
However Dublin City council have taken all the posters
down.

We believe that this is an
infringement of civil liberties and a further attack
on the human rights of the 5 men in prison. Dublin
city council's ban breaches human rights law; Article
10 of the European Convention of Human Rights states
"Everyone has the right to freedom of expression. This
right shall include freedom to hold opinions and to
receive and impart information without interference by
public authority and regardless of frontiers".

Dublin City
Council's ban on temporary posters advertising the
plight of the Rossport 5 and their families is
compounding injustice upon injustice. This should alarm
all persons who are concerned with basic democratic
freedoms being discarded by unelected officials.

It is legal (according to Section 19(7) of the Litter
Pollution Act 1997) to put up posters for a public
meeting once they are removed seven days after the
event. However, Tom Loftus, head of waste management
at Dublin City Council and Owen Keegan, Director of
Traffic both said that "it was a management decision"
to enforce this ban on postering.

Protest takes place at 1.15pm Friday, Civic Offices,
Wood Quay. Contact Martin at 087 6187722 or Rory at 086 1523542

its not to long ago that it was on this site how Dublin CC were more or less in solidarity with the protesters, when they had left up the posters for so long !!! God what do ye want, i think ye dont know what ye want! and their right to pull down the posters , they've been up long enough,; if Dublin has had to put up with all the graffiti and shit that we down here in the west have to put up with, then its about time they done something about it...

is the swp still claiming to be a revolutionary organisation? it seems to still be clinging to petty reformism- but we can't, Dublin City Council said we couldn't.. poor kids, talk about an oedipus complex.
use stickers, use graffiti, flypost, it's not that difficult to figure out.

Take your point anarchonaut. But I do not think "stickers, use graffiti, flypost," are half as effective. And why in a "supposedly" democratic society should free speech & democracy be supressed. Surely posters on the streets of Dublin, as used to be the case, is a sign of an open, democratic, free speech, free thinking society? Is this not thy most important thing in any society?

Are we going to go down the road of the UK where a seventy year old woman gets locked up for not paying 54 quid. Where an 82 life long Labour member ushers one word "nonsense" in his 82 year old feeble voice, in response to Jack Straws defence of the UK's refusal to pull troops out of Iraq - and then is evicted from the conference for doing this. Not only that but man-handled out despite he saying he would leave peacefully. He was only one example of many at that conference.

Democracy is on the decline. In the U.S., in the U.K., right around the world and now too in Ireland.

If democracy goes, we all go. Free speech must be honoured. To Wood Quay at 1.15!!

Freedom is something best fought for and taken rather than meekly requested.

DCC, does seem to view itself as a body to disrupt any sort of political dissent in the city by tearing down posters etc.
So why would you go appealing to them to allow you to poster? Do you think they care?

Use stickers, paint and wheatpaste next time and I'm sure they'll be more than happy to allow your legal posters back up asap.

Revolutionary party? like fuck you are.
