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.

Watch out for the red and black colours!
Dear friends,
There has been some marvellous and 'historic trade union and community actions and victories in recent times. From the re- instatement of a trade union comrade through to the postal workers actions in which many had seen and participated in such memorial events.
-Indeed a ‘can of worms, is slowly, but surely, step by step, being opened up in which workers and all, are standing more 'visibly firm against those who had embraced exploitation and injustice.
There will of course be various others mobilisations, and such, over the rest of the year, and continued and collective support and solidarity is of course essential to ensure such positive outcomes – as the call goes out.
I would urge activists to fully take part in this Mayday march, more especially with its theme- and would urge activists to start to meet up at the Arts College in Belfast at 12 pm Saturday 06 May 2006
In Dublin a lead banner stated ‘Organise Now!, Join a Union ‘- which in itself is an important statement.
Saying that though, there will be also various contingents on the Belfast Mayday march with many persons marching either behind ‘their trade union banners, or like myself marching also under other 'banners. Which will be in my case with the We Wont’ Pay Campaign and Organise! in bloc, with our banners and flags.
Whatever the case, it is though important to be there wherever and under whatever ‘banner, or none, that one marches.
In the last few months, unity, solidarity and 'Collective Representation have ensured strength for victory on various issues.
Indeed it has shown that if we march and speak in one voice then that voice is stronger, and that strength for victory grows.
Mayday for activists is an important day, a day not only to remember, but a day to begin and to continue to Organise! for the challenges ahead.
It is a day where we should March as one – it is a day not to be missed for activists from all such campaigns and for trade unionists on this 'workers day.
See Ya there on Belfast MayDay.
In Solidarity! - Davy Carlin
The original post here says 12.30 start, Davy says 12.00 and another post on this march says 11.45.
Which is right or if none what time does it start. Anybody?
{Quote - ICTU} - 'March' at 12.30 from the Arts College to St. Georges Market.
{ Quote - Davy Carlin} ''I-, would urge 'activists to start to 'meet' up at the Arts College in Belfast at 12 pm {for the 12 - 30 march, or whatever time it kicks of}.
Various others may meet up at 11- 30, others 11 - 45 etc, others may join up during the march etc etc.
So if you are going yourself why not come along early and sample the pre - march atmosphere - if not, then come along when the march is just about to kick of -
Whatever suits - but get along if you can ATB - D.
This years May Day rally is taking place from 12pm
this Saturday at
the Art College Gardens Belfast. The ARN will have a
banner on the
march as well as that WARN will have our colourful WARN flags.
The ARN is asking supporters to come along and carry flags, distribute leaflets and to give a hand on the stall afterwards in St Georges market.
.
Email southbelfast.arn@gmail.com or antiracism_ni@hotmail.com, for more info - or be there at 12. In Solidarity D
There a few Anarchist Youth members heading up for this.
Fair play to youse, hope to see u there. D
Airocoach is only 12quid return.
People should head up...
There is entertainment, music etc, in St Georges market afterwards { where the march finishes} - where activists can browse at the whole host of campaign stalls etc, or one can have a bit to eat, or indeed to just chill over a beer catching up with progess through debate and discussion.
Says its going to be bright and sunny tomorrow also {for most part}- which always helps.
So hopefully will be a good Day - see YA all there - In Solidarity -D
Friends, it was a great day.
It was good to see so many new faces and campaigners there on the Day. Also it was good to know {re - correspondences} that grassroots community, trade union and 'political activists etc, were going to 'work hard and to pull out the stops to make it a success.
With that, May Day in Belfast was a day this year that reflected the 'Movement'. It was great to see so many of the campaigns come together with the trade unions; - this is the way it should always be.
I must say on a personal note it was good to see so many banners and activists from the 'South - as we are not only workers of the North or indeed the South -but we are indeed workers of the World.
In Solidarity.
A link is attached to the pictures of the day to get a real flavour -
WELL DONE ALL!
A Trade Unionist day, an activist's day. - a 'workers day
The 'movement’- marched as one.
‘One of the biggest and most diverse May Day Marches in years’-
-Well done all.
Mayday in Belfast had seen Trade Union, Political organisations, and Community campaigns and activists come together on this day – in one of the biggest and most Diverse May Day marches in recent Years {see photos above}.
Banners and flags from the ARN - WARN fluttered in the wind while the young chanting students who made up the BAWM and the SY contingents made their voices heard. Banners and activists from the IPSC to Cuban Solidarity, from the ‘ We wont Pay Campaign’ to the Campaign Against Water Privatisation, from the NI Anti Poverty Network through to Amnesty and refugee support, marched together with many more on this Day.
– All such campaign banners and more joined banners from across the Northern Trade union Movement, and it must be said it was excellent to see AY, -. WSM, Labour, Dublin Council for Trade Unions and more joining us from the ‘South’
Forget ‘North - South – it was a Workers Day, and the complete Diversity of the Movement was on Belfast’ streets.-
