Jump To Comment: 5 4 3 2 1The shell to sea campaign is not worth dying for.
Those of you who support Maura Harrington's hunger strike will have blood on your hands if she dies or suffers irreparable physical damage.
If she dies, after the dust settles you will realise what a tragic waste of life it was, and those of you who are honest with yourselves you will realise that you encouraged her, and you could have saved her.
Make the brave choice and stop it now before it is too late.
well done to maura and the shell to sea campaigners
between the shell mess and the tara situation and the poor health service we have our hands full just trying to secure things but we should'nt give up
hope maura gets out of this ok
the demand is that the ship leaves Irish waters.
when it does, the hunger strike will end .
unless it ends the other way.
if you can't make it at one o'clock today there is another protest, same place, at 6.
if you are not in dublin- organise a protest in your own place.
sometimes things aren't perfect, but you have to go along with them anyway.
I received a spam text today indicating that a demand of the hunger strike is now
"Solitaire leaves Irish territorial waters permanently
and undertaking by the Irish government to return Irish resources to the Irish people!"
-are these really the present demands?
-do these demands have to be met before the person is willing to conclude their hunger strike?
-is the second demand not already part of the Irish constitution?
-isn't Eva Morales who is better positioned backed by an active popular movement
and (up to this point) and the Bolivian military having such difficulty fulfiliing his stated aspirations returning Bolivian resources to the Bolivian people - that he has felt to expel the U.S. Ambassador and declare martial law in the last couplpe of days?
-given that is the case, is second demand wise to add at this point of a hunger strike?
-is it wise of Shell to Sea to promote this hunger strike (which looks like doomed to end in a death or
understandably giving up - which has the potential to take on symbolic significance for the presently mobilising movement?)
-is this hunger strike backed by local Rossport activists. I f it is wouldn't their be a co-signed statement by now to that effect?
-is promoting the hunger strike with this event more likely to paint the striker into a corner less likely to end the strike without the loss of life?
-I know for me as this goes on it is creating ethical and other confusion when there should be clarity in expelling Shell from Rossport
