Reports of the Demise of the Scottish Enlightenment May Have Been Premature Fri Apr 26, 2024 13:00 | C.J. Strachan
A month after the arrival of Scotland's Hate Crime Act and it appears reports of the demise of the Scottish Enlightenment may have been premature, no thanks to the SNP but due to the doughty spirit of the Scots.

The Push for Global Censorship in Australia Fri Apr 26, 2024 11:17 | Rebekah Barnett
Should governments be able to censor online content for the entire world? That's what Australia is claiming the right to do. But do they really think China and Russia should be able to choose what the world sees?

Shell campaigners hold protests in Erris and Dublin
12/10/2007 - 10:39:04 AM
Campaigners against the Shell refinery being built in Co Mayo are holding protests today in Erris and Dublin.
Local activists from Co Mayo have asked people from across the country to travel to Erris to highlight their ongoing opposition to the scheme.
Dublin supporters, meanwhile, plan to target the offices of the Department of Natural Resources.
Regular protests against the Shell pipeline and refinery have been taking place for more than a year, with critics saying the facility poses an unacceptable safety threat.
They are also angry that the Government signed over a vast amount of Ireland's natural gas resources to Shell without claiming any royalties for the State.
Locals have arrived up to the refinery gate with wire mess removed from Pol Mac Thomas
(where the proposed pipeline would make come on land - I think)
Shell are being asked to take it back!
wire mesh even!

The wire has been left outside the refinery gates with a return to sender sign - hopefully soem fotos to follow

Three pics from today

It appears that the Gardaí have taken on a new approach to policing when they can't have their own way, pulling hair and throwing people's runners into the river.
A new souperintendent. What happened to the old one? Was it something we said?
they were kind enough to send him to Dublin to Pearse St. so that we don't have to go all the way to Bellanaboy to visit.

Another visiting Garda - senior and mysterious in an unmarked car.
It says so on the enemy's gates - still no consent!
The new man in charge, I think
oops that last caption gives that Garda way more credit than is due. He's not so much in charge as he may think. He's an unwelcome presence in Erris and yet another one of $h€ll's useful idiots. Soft words and heavy numbers will go down no better than the last man's foulmouthed and violent histrionics. He is still going to use all means at his disposal to force the will of a multinational upon a resisting community. He is still going to be an accessory in the Great Gas Robbery. People have already seen through his approach, he fools nobody up there.
$h€ll can have their corrupt garbage back.
they thought they could buy consent with a bit of fencing. Think again!
Returned to sender.
