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.

You can find out the nearest one to you or where to apply to if you want to set up a stall.
reclaim your markets!
They are the hub of your cities, thence will you build your cumanns, because you're passionate about politics and you won't be dying yet from the cholesterol yogurt mix thing, and will be ready for 2016. But long before that, we must fight a scourge and blight upon the yesterday's youth of prosperous crossroads and motel nights. & they're the ones who will forbid you selling strawberries.
They will nullify your assets in bric-a-brac. They will confiscate your copies of CDs, DVDs, and assorted frangrances. & they have a name. They have letters and slogans. They have accents. They have red blotchy noses. They begin with F.
& they end with F.
could you give more details about this, ie why the change is happening and what law will do so?
I recall back in the early 90s that there was a huge increase in the number of home-made produce being sold throughout the country. Apparently it was so successful that the big food companies got worried since it was eating into their market share, so apparently they got their lobbyists in Brussels working hard and that's why a lot of EU legalisation surrounding food and hygene was brought in.
It's sole purpose was to destroy this threat and this current bill to ban markets is designed to permanently kill off any potential threat for alternative ways of getting/buying our food other than through the big supermarkets.
Thus with EU regulations we have the crazy situation where the rules applying to some firm that produces millions of (say) eggs per day is also applied to the lone farmer / household in the country that decides to sell a dozen or two along the roadside.
Apparently there was uproar in France too, where traditional cheese makers and others curing meats etc, who had been doing this for centuries often in the exact same places, were suddenly told they were un-hygenic and illegal.
To some degree the Slow-Food movement is a fightback of all this (www.slowfood.com) and is all about celebrating diversity and local produces and techniques etc
A similar thing has happened with all those vitamins and stuff. Apparently the big corporate pharma wanted to get in on the act, so they joined a EU wide association of vitamin producers or something -most of them were small time and small scale and then big Pharma used their very own organisation to lobby Brussels (which worked) to set limits on the quantities of vitamins allowed. It was much lower. Also each ingredient apparently requires a license which requires a huge fee. This effectively shuts down all the smaller manufacturers.
There was an article in the Ecologist about this a year or two back. Here's a different article on it:
European Directive Against Vitamins & Minerals
http://www.i-sis.org.uk/vitamins2.php
The objective of killing markets in town also falls in with the policies of GM companies to patent our crops -yes those crops which are a resource to all of human kind. Instead just like the commons land was stolen a few hundred years ago, the same is being done with our crops. The October (2005) issue of the Ecologist (on pg 13) has a short news article about GM giant Syngenta who have filed 15 patents on the recently sequenced genome of rice -sequenced not by them but by the International Rice Sequencing Project. On that basis they have applied for further patents on most other major crops arguing since they gene sequences are so similar, that their initial patents cover them.
Folks these issues are all connected and this is a very important issue. In fact I would say crucial. Well done Kathy for writing it up. Thanks.
Great article, but one mistake. The market rights expire at the end of APRIL, not the end of MAY. More info on this is available on our site at www.ardnashee.com and there is soon to be a new site to co-ordinate activities at www.irishmarketrights.org
Perhaps an indymedia editor could edit the date in the original article or add a reference at the end to the actual end of April date?

As regards the large supermarkets. See the link below to research in Britain by the New Economics Foundation on the 'death on the highstreet' and 'Ghost Town' effect of large superstores to the detriment of lower income and less mobile groups and society in general.
A small store will listen to a local consumer or group of consumers whereas the hypermarts will not. Suppliers are more likely to get a fairer deal with more numerous smaller outlets and employees a less precarious existence.
However the usual suspects talk of price and competition when in fact they're in favour of market failure to the benefit of the large retail corporations.

Economic systems that favour the large, remote and uniform threaten our local economies and communities, diversity and choice. Creating the right balance between local and global economies will help to increase individual well-being, reduce inequalities and promote environmental sustainability. nef is pushing to fight ghost town britain and relocalise the economy through the local works campaign and by empowering communities through enterprise and innovation. The tools for local economic renewal help people create their own futures. Our flagship inner city 100 project shows the power and dynamism of inner city business, and our work on access to finance addresses the problem of people being excluded from mainstream finance.
