Irish Ferries : Galway gears up for the Big One on Friday !

category galway | rights, freedoms and repression | news report author Wednesday December 07, 2005 20:10author by Tommy Donnellan & his eminence grise, Black Pope. - Irish Ferries and Globalisation into the Abysss Campaign Report this post to the editors

" ... as the surgeon cuts the cancer and alien growth from the body".

Galway City is in fervourous ferment at the moment brewing up a head of righteous steam for the Big One on Friday against the actions of Eamonn Rothwell & co; the city is awash with posters for the Day of Protest & Action mainly, let it be said, from the SWP calling for support and also for a General Strike, a call I vigorously support - what's the point of fucking about, no more foreplay, fuck Irish Ferries, IBEC and Ahern's government. What's the point of ICTU playing the role of the vestal virgin, in bed with our exploiter enemies and the workers getting it up the ass?.

Tearing up and "pulling down the pillars of the social order" and Sustaining Progress - Social Partnership Agreement.

Big Jim's bitter denunciation of the Dublin Employers in an open letter to the Irish Times (6-10-1913) still resonates powerfully, this guy had cojones and that's what's needed now in Ireland, a woman or man of titanic rage against the machine and inhumanity, Michael D and/or Joe Higgin's perhaps?, failing that, proved, tried and tested on the anti-war front line the Pitstop ploughshares and/or Mary Kelly?.

" ... you may succeed in your policy and ensure your own damnation, by your victory. The men whose manhood you have broken will loathe you, and will always be brooding and scheming to strike a fresh blow. The children will be taught to curse you. The infant being moulded in the womb will have breathed into its starved body the vitality of hate. It is not they - it is you who are blind Sampsons pulling down the pillars of the social order. You are sounding the death knell of autocracy in industry. There was autocracy in political life, and it was superseded by democracy. So surely will democratic power wrest from you the control of industry. The fate of you, the aristocracy, will be as the fate of the aristocracy of the land if you do not show that you have some humanity still among you. Humanity abhors, above all things, a vacuum in itself, and your class will be cut off from humanity as the surgeon cuts the cancer and alien growth from the body".

I seems, that the MD of Irish Ferries, Eamonn Rothwell, besides being a thief of Irish workers rights and freedoms is also the purloiner of the New Directions front cover of Rimbaud's 'A Season in Hell and The Drunken Boat - in this, it is rumoured, soon to be published piece of shite, he and Friedman, exult, it is also rumoured, over the triumph of virulent capitalism over the "small people and untermenschen" and the demise of Trade Unionism as a viable, credible force.
