I Smell a Rat in the BBC?s Claims of Climate Change ?Ratmageddon? Tue Sep 30, 2025 07:00 | Ben Pile
Rodent populations in the US and Britain have exploded, and the BBC inevitably blames climate change. But Ben Pile smells a rat. After all, there are much more likely explanations than slightly milder weather.

The Ryder Cup Parable: What Europe Gets Right and the EU and USA Get Wrong Mon Sep 29, 2025 15:31 | Clive Pinder
Europe's Ryder Cup victory shows that, unlike the DEI-obsessed EU, the nations of Europe win when they respect merit, says Clive Pinder. And unlike the USA big shots, they know how to work as a team.

As the photos show, it is currently being demolished and being converted in a Topaz station that while being a cosmetic change, will still be using Shell Oil.
The previous pickets were a success and drummed up a significant amount of support for the campaign in the local area, links to these are below:

Thanks to all the comrades who came out on those cold pickets and supported the cause!
Solidarity.
Lookin' Fresh
That video is brilliant, pure class!
All credit to comrade Karlo for these..
Shell Inc. reported $9.08 billion in profits for the first three months of 2008. I guess they save a bit of money using gardaí as free security.
What is happening , it there a split with in the camp now.
In regards to this PR about a new terminal site.
Time to practice what they preach.
Shell's new advertising slogan
Tell you what Andrew- if Shell respond positively to the heartfelt suggestion by some local people (who are desperately worried about the prospect of a summer of compulsory acquisition orders, beatings, jailings, and all the rest), then we'll abandon the campaign.
If however, Shell ignore this suggestion like they have every other compromise that's ever been suggested to them, then we'll keep on protesting.
hardly the shell to sea campaign any more. Locals want to move refinery but have dropped demand for shell to sea. New plan...new name required.
That brilliant!!
"Is Garda your first name". LOL
Excellent. Makes those bullies look like right pricks.
Just as we were leaving , after the protest was finished, the Special Branch showed up, with some uniformed support.
Now people who attend Rossport solidarity protests are well-used to being photographed, filmed, and otherwise recorded, and although we may not like it, there's not much we can do about it. However, it seems the gardaí feel that they shouldn't be subject to the same rules.
They seem to think that you need to ask someone's permission before taking their picture, even in a public place. Maybe that should perhaps be the law (although there might be problems with CCTV cameras if they have to get permisssion form everybody they film...) but the fact is that is isn't the law.
And losing you cool and grabbing the camera isn't really legal either...
Terrific to see support continuing. See you there.
