There?s no food getting in so people are starving,? surgeon Tom Potokar says

Plastic surgeons and orthopedic specialists from the UK are based at the Amal and Nasser hospitals in Khan Younis in the south of the territory.
Dr. Tom Potokar, a plastic surgeon specializing in burn injuries, has worked in Gaza 16 times but said this mission had revealed a level of destruction far greater than his last visit in 2023,
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.

Despite three record years of coral growth, the mainstream media keeps pushing doom and gloom on the Great Barrier Reef ? a story that doesn't quite add up, says the Daily Sceptic's Environment Editor.

Jump To Comment: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8Joanne's reinstatement is a victory for workers everywhere facing harassment and intimidation at work. It is a victory that defends and reasserts the right of workers to organise free from bullying, intimidation and harassment.
The campaign for Joanne's reinstatement had been growing over the past number of weeks with pickets of more and more Dunnes stores. Everyone who was engaged in acts of solidarity with Joanne has had a part to play in this victory.
In the north the initiative in picketing Dunnes outlets was taken by Organise! who were quickly joined by others, including the Belfast and District Trades Union Council, in the demand that Joanne be reinstated and the right of workers to organise be upheld. Congratulations to Joanne and everyone involved in this campaign.
This is great to hear.
Congratulations to Joanne and hopefully Dunnes' will start recognising Unions and their representiatives.
It shows when we stand together, and across that thin line of the North and South that 'divides us', that such unity is strength - this as proven, again, in real terms.
Well done alll who lent, provided, and initiated all various acts of solidarity.
A great result -well done all.
So have Dunnes Stores now changed their employee dress code to allow badges?
Or was this just a cynical stunt by the unions?
Joanne was back at work today with her Mandate badge pinned to her uniform.
Well done Joanne
Great to see Dunnes backing down and reinstating Joanne.
Management thought they would have another go at the union in a store where only a minority are unionised. They clearly didn't expect the letters and emails of protest, the threat of losing some customers, the solidarity protests.
Joanne was very courageous in standing her ground. The protests organised by the local support group and the socialist & anarchist organisations did make a difference.
It's a small victory but one we should be publicising. If we dare to fight, we also dare to win. If we never fight back, we never win.
Fantastic news! Congradulations to Joanne for her incredibly brave stance. And congradulations to all those who were behind her and helped her to be re-instated.
I would have been extremely suprised if this was not the eventual outcome. Dunnes could not afford the adverse publicity and it was an incredibly stupid move on their part.
This is a good victory for Justice and Human Rights. But nevertheless only a small one in the bigger scheme of things. I would now like to see this victory being built upon. In a previous Indymedia article Mandate agreed they would pursue the idea of a National Wear Your Union Badge Day throughout Dunnes Stores outlets:-
"At its recent Executive meeting.Mandate agreed that a budget would be set aside to support solidarity action to back Joanne’s demand for reinstatement. it was also agreed to pursue the idea the idea of a National Wear Your Union Badge Day throughout Dunnes Stores outlets"
http://www.indymedia.ie/article/74468
There is nothing like momentum and NOW is the time to work and move on this. And of course why stop at Dunnes - There should be a designated National Wear Your Union Badge Day for EVERYONE throughout Ireland. In a previous comment I suggested this might conincide with MayDay. On second thoughts it would probably be better to have this on a seperate day so as to sort of create two Labour Days in the calender.
I really hope this is pursued.
