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.

Shell To Sea Picket on the Finglas Road 27/10/07

category dublin | anti-capitalism | news report author Saturday October 27, 2007 14:43author by Johnny H - CYM Report this post to the editors

Today comrades from the Connolly Youth Movement and Shell To Sea participated in a successful picket of the Shell Station on Finglas road.
The Picket
The Picket

We started the picket at 12 o’clock and began to distribute S2S leaflets to passers-by and cars entering the establishment. But the special branch had beat us to the scene with one car already parked in the petrol station which was later joined by another lot of special branch after we began our picket. Following this, a very angry manager of the petrol station came out to tell us to remove ourselves from his private property. We complied with this and carried on our picket on the public pavement but this wasn’t good enough apparently, seeing as the manager rang the gardai and a riot van of police arrived shortly after to hassle the protestors.

Encouragingly, several cars pulled away from the garage after we had told them why we were protesting and handed them a leaflet. Also cars passing on the road were very supportive with toots of the horn in solidarity with our resistance to the Shell Corporation.

We finished our picket after an hour. However as we were about to go our separate ways, the four members of the special branch left their vehicles and proceeded to hassle protestors by taking their names with the excuse that they are allowed to under the “offences against the state act.”

Today proves that the picketing of Shell stations is a good way of raising awareness with local people of what Shell and the state is up to in Rossport. Future pickets are planned of this station but you can also attend the S2S picket next Saturday at the Kilmainham Shell petrol station at 1pm.

Well done to all involved. Getting the truth out there and letting people make up their own minds on the real issues is an essential part of what we are doing... and the cops are harrassing us because it's working.

The real "offences against the state" are those Branch scum squandering our tax for Shell.

What about pulling sick days whilst protesting while getting paid from the department of education ????? and what can be said about the rest of the so called protestors, are they in the teaching profession or are they full time government artists ?
Shine some light please.

Your effectiveness is in direct proportion to the number of gardai who monitor/control you.
This shows that the protests in Rossport are very effective.
Keep it up!
