There?s no food getting in so people are starving,? surgeon Tom Potokar says
British doctors working in Gaza have described the territory as a ?slaughterhouse,? where the patients they are treating are severely malnourished.
Plastic surgeons and orthopedic specialists from the UK are based at the Amal and Nasser hospitals in Khan Younis in the south of the territory.
Dr. Tom Potokar, a plastic surgeon specializing in burn injuries, has worked in Gaza 16 times but said this mission had revealed a level of destruction far greater than his last visit in 2023,
It is time to talk about the Out of Control Immigration. Mon Mar 31, 2025 22:12 | imc
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.

British TV grows more and more unwatchable with each passing day. That might be because BAFTA is on a mission to transform every TV show into climate propaganda ? and it's just stepped up a gear, says Steven Tucker.

Gen Z is hooked on Klarna, says Mary Gilleece ? the seductive app that uses 'Buy Now Pay Later' to let users splash out with money they don't have. It's a debt-fuelled disaster waiting to happen.

Even the Arab League has refused to recognise a State of Palestine while Hamas is still in power ? a clarity lost on the compromised leaders of the West. Israel urgently needs to improve its PR, says Clive Pinder.

Paul Williams who works for Tony o Reilly Wrote AN article in the sunday world two years ago , stating that the Shell to Sea campaign was run by the IRA and Sinn fein. This enabled the Gardai to start battoning the protesters.
Well it seems the Gards have got him at it again, he has made a documentary on the Corrib Gas troubles.He is obliged to do this of course because he is under Garda protection due to articles he has written on gangland criminals.
The main pionts he is trying to make, is the extreme intimidation on the people who support the Shell project. The fact that in spite of Garda presence in Rossport Bellmulet area there has not been ONE charge broaught against anybody .
Any person with half a brain would know that if the IRA were involved in this campaign against these traitors, there would be a lot of dead bodies lying around the place by now.
THIS RUBISH WILL BE SHOWN ON TV3 AT 9 pm on TUESDAY.
Sir Anthony will be pleased.

Here's a selection of photos from the weekend. They cover many aspects of the weekend, from the over-the-top Garda presence to the weekend's actions to camp activities. There are some landscape shots of interest too.

The final set of photos from my selection. Scenes from the action on Sunday evening.
Viewers might notice a Garda stepping on a protestor's arm about 22 seconds into the second video segment. This was a deliberate act by the garda involved, as evidenced by his failed attempt to do the same act immediately before he steps on the arm. This is typical of An Garda Síochána's 'public order policing', especially when it serves Shell's purposes in Co. Mayo.

Video clip 2 from Sunday
This clip has plenty of Garda use of force, as is usual with them, and there's indirect evidence of an attempted assault by a garda on a protestor. This is what happens when bullies in possession of impunity lose an argument, and the Garda Szekler Legion are surfing on 20-foot waves of Impunity (with a capital I). Shell and the Irish state cannot be permitted to get away with their greedy violent and poisonous designs - to stand aside and permit their plans is to acquiesce in the doom of humanity.
P.S. Fair play to D. Rovics for coming to Glengad and seeing for himself what's happening. He also played a Sunday lunchtime gig for the many young children present at the gathering, as well as driving an injured protestor to hospital in his car. He's gone up loads in my estimation - thanks David!
