Is the dog in communist party? Or is he a capitalist running dog?
That dog is most likely an elite SWP spy.
No. I'd say he's one of those dogs in the street who know the Lisbon Treaty is a con job.
Or is that a bit ruff...?
The CPI of 2008. Two men and a dog!

The Communist Party and its youth wing the CYM have always been the disciplined true vanguard of the labour movement and all progressive Irish citizens. The pictures show only a few old geezers, one with a tame dog (lapdog of imperialist reaction?) and possibly two 'youths'. If they are the vanguard where are the toiling masses? Were some of them at mass or in the pubs? Or at Croke Park watching a foreign game like rugger?
