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.

Mass tresspass underway at MTL docks

category dublin | worker & community struggles and protests | news report author Monday August 24, 2009 12:58author by Andrew - WSM (personal capacity)author email wsm_ireland at yahoo dot com Report this post to the editors

The dispute at MTL is escalating with hundreds of people taking part in demonstrations organised by the Port Workers Support Group. SIPTU members at the MTL depot in Dublin Port have been on strike since the beginning of July, resisting forced redundancies and pay cuts. The company shipped in scabs from the North and Britain on day one to steal the dockers’ jobs, and also got a High Court injunction preventing effective picketing. Below are updates coming in from this mornings actions, sent via Twitter by WSM members who are present.

I've 2 queries. Firstly, what role did the state play in blocking access to the port? I believe this march was to break an injunction. Was this done? If so, what was the reaction of the Gardaí?

Secondly, there still seems to be a determined nationalist element on these protests. I've not been to any due to work but would definitley support the strikers. To what extent is nationalism a trend in this protest? I saw a tricolour flag on TV today and I heard Joe Monney on the radio this morning arguing along the lines "This is a UK firm in Ireland, Irish workers should not be treated like this in our own country". I personally think nationalism is a dead-end strategy. To what extent are the workers in Antwerp blacking the goods from Ireland? This is the way to success.

the tricolour is a secular progressive flag of national liberation representing peace between orange and green on this island. it is non sectarian. many people are fed up with irelands sovereignty bein sold out to U.S.A in regards Shannon, to E.U in regards Lisbon , to multinationals in regards Shell etc. Why not an Irish flag, go off and worry about somethin else Benidictus
