Fifty Ways to Leave the European Convention on Human Rights Fri Apr 19, 2024 17:28 | Dr David McGrogan
Rishi Sunak has once again been dropping hints about leaving the European Convention on Human Rights. This is not credible, says Dr David McGrogan: such a feat would require a Government far more serious than this one.

Keep the pressure up, take the fight to them country wide.
The cartons of orange juice add a nicely surreal touch for the whole thing...did they get free toys as well?
They've been quietly working away there for far too long.
Well done too all that turned out for it.
Also, for those interested, tickets are on sale in Connolly Books for the Rossport Solidarity Camps June Bank Holiday weekend event. The bus will leave at 6:30pm on Friday the 1st.
Workshops and events are being put on by Shell To Sea groups rom around the country and also by other community campaigns on Ireland.
It has a history of being an brilliant event (and sunshine always seems to put in a good showing)
so if you can make it down it won't disappoint.
Isn't that the corporate color of Shell?
Good to hear it went well with no arrests and no major reproductive damage!
Sorry I couldn't make it
Beir bua!
kp
well done from supporters in cork - slán agus beir bua a chairde!
Well done folks, and glad to hear no arrests or serious injuries.
P.S. I thought it was against Garda policy for them to take food or water for free from anyone.
It does seem to slightly contravene their whole impartiality thing doesn't it? I'd imagine the Gardaí are forbidden from taking ANY gifts from anyone for that simple reason....on the other hand maybe if we spring for some Yop's they'll switch sides and join our blockades instead...now that's the kind of bribery we can afford..

The guard with a penchant for other men's genitalia was B22, he's a sergeant at Kevin St..
Early start on the streets of Dublin. Just off the train in Cork, must go to work and slave for the almighty wage. Will comment later. MEL!
The OJ in question. Putting the Squeeze ON and IN

Not your average tour... got good support (notice the viking)
Final Push to get Lackies in around 10:30 ish
And Bertie looked down at his creation and said that it was GOOD. Genesis 6:66
Is this sgt. Cop a feel? ***** for bravery on the day.
COP a FEEL
Finally the photos from today - as you will note this was for the most part calmer than last time, mostly as the decision was taken very early on by the Gardai to turn all Shell cars away
Blocking the side
Blocking the front
The lane at the rear

The banner dance
and at times wet
They brought their friends this time
Four people got in using more or less the method on show here of being puched through the protest by a scrum of Gardai.
Mnay curious dances were on display
Will I or won't I
Whats the advice
Happy in their work
Popping his through the protest
Good work, great mugshots of Sergeant B22. Strange man.

Respect to you all for keeping on - well done & see yez at the Gathering.
well done all of yese!
looks well,if i had a damn usb id share our bertie photos
bertie visited corks wilton shopping center today to be greated by shelltosea activists,
we followed him through the whole shopping center with delightful chorus "BERTIE PUMPS FOR SHELL" got jostled and scraped by mad fanatic women (women were feeling him up!!!)and suits.we shook his hand tight and hard and asked him difficult questions about our gas and oil being sold,he blurted "!the deal is done ,i have nothing to say"a very shook man,then to patricks street where he was going to speak.Was..he had to cancel ..fantastic
watch tv3 news
dont think he'll be in cork for a while!
photos soon
solidarity or what!
I heard that some Shell to Sea folks got close to Bertie in Cork today - one seemed to grab his hand or perhaps it was Bertie putting his exhausted hand out for another shake and found a Shell to Sea-er on the other end. Any reports or photos?
Well done to the people at Shell HQ too by the way.
Another great action in the capital, and more good news from Cork as well. Many thanks from the stubborn folk in Mayo.
Let's keep up the pressure, they'll soon learn there's nowhere to hide.
Why all the aggro? If you have the people behind you, you'll be the government in few days. Then you can do what you want, legally and without all this hassle. Can't you wait a little more.
In a perfect world, you'd be right. But with all the misinformation about the campaign it's going to be tough.
"The action was called to "highlight the incredible theft of our natural resources"
And who is going to find, process, GET ASHORE SAFELY, distribute this natural resource??
Last I heard, the "Shinners" didn't have "oil and gas exploration" on their election manifest - unless of course they've opened a Tehran office, or maybe even a Caracas Cumman -- seeing as they're down in that neck of the woods anyway.
I think the aggro is a result of the intoxicating effect that orange juice has upon Gardai. It's a little-known fact, but one that's worth paying attention to and it's why the Gardai at Belmullet have to quench their thirst with Guinness instead.
I don't understand why you are protesting about the great gas givaway outside Shell. Surely you should be focusing your attention on the people who gave it away (i.e. the Government) as opposed to the people who got it.
What's the purpose of protesting outside Shell's offices? What are you trying to achieve? I'm just curious, I'm not having a go at anyone.
Curious,
This ranting and raving about the so called gas giveaway, and the terminal development are nothing but diversionary tactics which have been used solely by certain members of the shell to sea campaign group to further their own profile with in the public arena.
Why would a campaign grouping change its articulate spokesperson of past 2 years?
Why has your so called pet TD gone in to hibernation and that was well before an election was called.
ever of the rat abondanding a sinking ship? its true!
“Go back to the drawing board on the Corrib gas project - even now it is still not too late - and we'll help you solve the problem.”
John kept that quite, his profession is that of a gas production engineer not a humble blacksmith as he makes out to be !!
You still dancing with Ginger Rogers?
